Chapter 1014
On the other hand, Frank was not surprised at all.
He already knew that Matis and Mel were both eavesdropping on him and the Soranos outside. However, he was still surprised that they came back since he had expected them to run away already.
“It’s him!”
Seeing Frank’s look of confusion, Mel promptly pointed at Lobo. “We wouldn’t have bothered you, Mr. Lawrence, but that man forced my son to harass you!”
“Shit…”
Lobo’s face darkened from Mel’s outburst-how could he have known that Matis and Mel messed with Frank?!
If he knew, he would not have turned back even if it killed him!
Lobo then remembered Matis saying that the person was someone Lobo himself should not mess with. However, it would have been natural for him to presume that everyone else was beneath him since the Soranos had his back.
He felt murderous right then, though Matis soon dropped to his knees as well, trembling. “We didn’t want to do this.”
“That so?”
Frank looked past Matis at Lobo, who stood in a corner when Emilio Sorano spoke to him earlier.
“You were with the Soranos, weren’t you?” he asked quietly. “Could you have been upset with what I had done and turned back to get it off your chest?”
“N-No, I’d never…”
Lobo was afraid to look up at Frank’s menacing question.
Even the key members of the Sorano family did not dare mess with Frank, and he was just a fringe character!
Smiling awkwardly, he said, “I-It’s all just a misunderstanding, Mr. Lawrence…”
Frank snorted. “Then leave. Quit being an eyesore.”
“Y-Yeah…” Lobo nodded repeatedly even as he backed out of the room.
As soon as he was out, rage and savagery showed on his face.
“You fucking people!” he bellowed as he slapped both Matis and Mel when they stepped outside as well. “You could’ve told me! Now get out of my sight and don’t ever show up around me, or I’ll murder you!”
Neither Matis nor Mel dared say a word even after being slapped, and they kept their heads lowered as they watched Lobo storm off.
“M-Mom… What should I do?” Matis groaned as he cast Mel a miserable look.
He had lost his job and the Soranos’ support at the same time!
Mel shook her head, feeling pained too. “It’s all my fault… If only I had been nice to Nash and Mr. Lawrence, you’d have opportunities instead of having to deal with this. Well, it’s too late for regrets now…”
She sighed lengthily and gave Matis a look of resignation before quietly leaving-she really could not put aside her pride enough to beg her brother- in-law.
“It’s all your fault…”
On the other hand, Matis was growling under his breath, his eyes red as he glared at Nash’s ward, his knuckles clenched and his face contorted with spite. “I lost everything because of you! I would still be the CEO of Jundo Showtown if not for you… I’ll have my revenge and take back what’s mine!”
