    Frank winked at Theo even as he chuckled, "Actually, I called your father without you noticing earlier and threatened him into putting up an act with me. So, were you shocked or surprised?"


    Theo could die right then, finally realizing why Frank wasughing the whole time, even pping and congratting him.


    After all, he was congratting him for sending his whole family to their deaths!


    Judging from Gene''s outburst earlier, he was not sparing a single person in his family.


    "Ah..."


    In the distance, Ilsa was the first to copse on the floor, unconscious.


    Seeing that, Theo quickly rushed over to resuscitate her and help her up.


    Even as she stirred, she realized in shock that everything that happened to Gina was now happening to her-albeit a lot worse.


    While they were not really working directly for Pearce Group, their family worked for one of their subsidiaries. As such, they would pay for their rudeness toward Gene just now.


    "Oh, Theo... My son! It''s all over for us!" Ilsa howled and bawled after she came to her senses.


    It was only that she realized that Frank was way above them and never name-dropped his connections to argue with them because he felt pity for them.


    However, they insisted on ndering and distorting the truth, leaving Frank no choice but to show his hand.


    No, it would not be this bad if he only


    showed his hand-Theo had to mock Frank, iming that his phone call to Gene was just an act and driving them past the point of no return.


    "No... No, Mom! It''s not over yet!"


    Theo''s face was white as a sheet, but he rushed to Frank, dropping to his knees and begging, "Please, ME Lawrence! Could you please forgive me?! Just let me live, and I will serve you willingly! My parents have some savings, too...


    "Oh, right! It''s my sister who swindled you into buying that knock-off suit! You don''t have to hold back with her! And my mother... She and Madam Zonda have been at it for years, and she was the one who goaded me into stepping up against you! Please, Mr. Lawrence! Just let me live... I''ll do anything!"


    Around them, the guests all looked away-the unseemly manner in which Theo begged for his life was too much for them.


    The smug returnee with double PhDs and a bright future ahead of him was now a spineless worm, crawling at Frank''s feet and begging for mercy, even abandoning his sister and mother.


    He was certainly the embodiment of humankind''s wickedness-even Helen looked away in anger.


    "How despicable..." Frank breathed as he watched Theo prostrate himself at his feet, a look that left him with indescribable disgust.


    "Yes, yes, yes... I''m despicable, I really am..."


    Theo remained unfettered, shing a fawning smile and continued to beg Frank just to stay alive.


    As everyone was left shocked by Frank''s connections and Theo''s despicable behavior, a cool voice spoke from the wedding hall.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    "What''s going on here? What''s everyone doing out here? The wedding hasn''t even started."


    A young man with a cold visage strode out just then, and it was none other than Jaden Favoni, who had gotten impatient from waiting in the VIP


    room.
