Chapter 85
Vicky shot Gina a glare of disgust. “Shut up. I don’t need you to tell me what to do.”
“Urgh…” Gina was promptly cowed by her outburst. “Y–Yes, you’re right, Ms. Turnbull.”
Meanwhile, Trevor and his men surrounded and wiped out Finn’s henchmen with minimum effort, and he was just coming out of the fire escape when he ran into Vicky.
“Oh, you’re here too, Ms. Turnbull?” Trevor exclaimed in surprise, before adding politely, “Actually, Mr. Lawrence didn’t want to involve you with this one.”
“Mr. Zurich, you can dispense with the niceties,” Vicky replied bluntly. “Why wouldn’t I help when Frank is involved?”
As she spoke, she slid a peek at the b*dyguard standing behind Trevor–being a martial artist herself, she knew a thing or two about identifying martial elites.
Given his bulky frame and withheld presence, it was obvious that he was strong–perhaps even stronger than Cliff.
And a martial elite of such caliber was loyal to Trevor, whereas Trevor was loyal to Frank…
Unable to hide her curiosity, Vicky asked, “What’s your connection to Frank, Mr. Zurich?”
Trevor was taken aback, but he soon chuckled. “Why ask that out of the blue, Ms. Turnbull?”
Vicky shrugged. “You were once the owner of a transnational conglomerate, and yet here you are going all out for Frank, who supposedly has nothing to his name. Even a father would not go that far to his son, and from where I’m standing, you didn’t really start partnering with Lane Holdings. because of Helen’s talent, did you? It was all Frank’s idea.”
“Clever girl.” Trevor smiled,
He was uncertain as to how much she had found out, but he told her regardless, “Still, I’m afraid I can’t tell you about my relationship with Mr. Lawrence. However, you may know this much–if he demands my life, I’d happily sacrifice myself without blinking.”
Vicky was left astounded–she had guessed that Frank had saved Trevor’s life somehow, just as Frank had saved her.
But this… this was more than that! One would have to wonder if Frank was Trevor’s dad in another
life.
That explained Frank’s confidence even in the face of the Lionhearts–he had powerful backing himself!
Trevor simply turned just then. “I’ll go check on Ms. Lane now.
He could laugh to himself right there–Vicky might not be aware, but there were plenty of others who owed Frank their lives.
Still, he calmed down just as he arrived at Vicky’s car to find the Lanes alive and well.
“M–Mr. Zurich?!” Gina almost burst into tears in excitement when she saw him.
“M–Mr. Zurich…”
Helen slowly looked up as well, having grown to respect Trevor greatly since they were partnered for
three years.
“What… Ms. Lane, what happened to your face?” Trevor was stunned when he saw how Helen looked.
Helen promptly lowered her head in silence, while Gina wiped her tears as she sobbed, “Oh, Mr. Zurich! You have to avenge Helen! Finn Chandler disfigured her.”
“He will get his just deserts.” Trevor was actually incensed–having experienced himself, he was certainly aware how Frank felt toward Helen.
Having his beloved woman disfigured–would the man really take this insult lying down?
“Thank you so much for today, Mr. Zurich,” Gina said just then.
Trevor ignored her and instead told Helen solemnly, “Don’t worry, Ms. Lane. Finn Chandler will pay for what he did–he’s a dead man walking.”
“Of course. We believe you, Mr. Zurich,” Gina nodded enthusiastically. “So, about your partnership with Lane Holdings…”
Trevor rolled his eyes at her. “That can wait. You should be taking care of your daughter.” “Y–Yes, of course.” Gina nodded repeatedly and watched as Trevor hurried away.
