Mrs. Sturgeon could not care less as she blurted at Cid, "You weren''t like that when you were in my bed!"


    "What?!"


    Wilk was left thunderstruck at those words-his wife did what?!


    His vision darkened right then, and he almost fainted.


    He finally realized why the Sunzers were so enthusiastically protecting them before... because his wife is cheating on him with their underboss!


    Even as Mrs. Sturgeon continued to hound Cid, Cid was ncing at Frank awkwardly.


    He was no fool-there was no need to hesitate when it came to picking between Frank and his lover.


    Who was he kidding? If he helped that woman against Frank, he would die a million times over!


    Even if he managed to escape with Mrs. Sturgeon now by some stroke of luck, his own brother Hux Darman would punish him when he returned to the Sunbalzers.


    In fact, while he appeared to be choosing between his lover and Frank Lawrence, he was really choosing between life and death.


    One could have all the lovers they wanted, but they certainly would not be loving if he was dead.


    That was why Cid made up his mind immediately, knocking Mrs. Sturgeon to the floor and kicking her repeatedly. "You bitch! I don''t mind protecting your family, but don''t you see who you''re messing with?! You''re really getting bored, huh?! You could mess with anyone else, but you had to mess with Mr. Lawrence?! Hell, you could die a million times over, but you still wouldn''t make up for offending Mr. Lawrence!"


    "What?!"


    It was only then that Mrs. Sturgeon realized what was happening.


    Even as she turned toward Frank in panic, she realized that Cid was hovering around him like apdog.


    In fact, Frank was seated while Cid and the rest of the Sunzers


    standing around Frank, their de  ent


    undoubtedly respectful.


    Frank was way above their pay grade!


    "Urgh..." Frank was rubbing his brow even as he watched the convoluted drama unfold.


    He was speechless too-how did Cid even start this affair with Wilk''s wife?


    She was a little attractive, carrying the air of a trophy wife.


    But cheating on her husband...


    Frank sneaked a nce at Wilk, who stood in the distance.


    His face was green as he stood stiff like a statue.


    His gaze was nk and he did not even have the strength to speak, and Frank somehow could vaguely hear his mind breaking.


    ''Shit... could Wilk''s children be actually Cid''s? Well, that''s going to be a bother..."


    That was then a thought urred to Frank, but he soon rejected the idea since it was simply ridiculous.


    After all, Cid looked like he was only in his thirties, while Wilk''s eldest daughter Kali was already twentyish... "Ahem..."


    Cid cleared his throat just then,


    making a face as he turned toward


    Frank. "You don''t have to worry about me sir. The Sturgeons have incurred your wrath, so my business is inconsequential inparison. Just say the word, and I wil


    massacre this house!"


    Frank was at once amused and annoyed when he saw the look of righteous indignation on Cid''s face.


    Still, he waved Cid off after a brief


    silence. "Forget it—that''s all for today. Lauren Floss'' debt is paid,


    and I''ve paid Sturgeons their 500 et


    grand. From now on, Patek will be wheelchair bound, and that counts for the Sturgeons''euppance." ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
