Chapter 80
A blood–curdling scream resounded in the office.
Even Gina turned away, unable to look.
Helen was herself crying and wheezing, her vision glazed over by tears as her prided beauty was now gone!
“So? Are you going to talk?” Finn asked, clearly showing no intention to stop as he placed his butterfly knife on Helen’s other check.
However, he frowned when he realized that Helen was utterly silent and her gaze was completely blank. He knew right then that the woman was broken–he would not be getting anything out of her
now.
Instead, he turned toward the cowardly Gina instead, and she promptly begged, “P–Please, Mr. Chandler… let us go-”
“I won’t ask the same question twice,” Finn simply growled, handily pressing his butterfly knife on
her cheek!
Gina shuddered violently and actually wetted herself. However, just before Finn sliced into her screen, she screamed on top of her lungs, “He was staying at the penthouse suite of Verdant Hotel last night! I don’t know where he is today! That’s all I know…”
Sean was immediately furious–so Frank took Helen away last night to have her himself!
He was furious remembering Helen’s usually holier–art–thou attitude. She would not have ended up getting involved with so much messy stuff if she had given in to him from the start!
If anything, she deserved to be disfigured!
At the same time, Finn clapped Gina on the cheek in satisfaction. “Your family will live if you’re telling the truth. But if you lie, you’d wish you were dead.”
Gina shook her head repeatedly. “I’m not lying. It’s the truth… It’s all true…”
Finn turned toward two of his henchmen, who nodded and headed to Verdant Hotel immediately.
Frank was doing his usual morning routine in Verdant Hotel when Trevor suddenly called.
He answered immediately, “Hello?”
“We have a problem, Mr. Lawrence,” Trevor promptly said from the other end. “Ms. Lane never made it home after work this evening, while Gina and Peter were abducted as well.”
Frank frowned right then. “Abducted? Who was it?”
“I’m not sure my people can’t locate Ms. Lane just yet.” Trevor sighed. “But I received word that
–
one of the Chandlers has arrived here at Riverton.”
“The Chandlers?” Frank asked.
“Leo Grayson served as an underboss for them,” Trevor explained. “In fact, he made it
big in Riverton mostly thanks to the Chandlers. Now that you’ve killed him, they’re most likely coming after you.”
Frank nodded solemnly, his eyes narrowing as he growled murderously, “Animals.”
Trevor then said, “The problem right now is to find out where Ms. Lane is.”
Frank suddenly looked up at the door and said calmly, “We’ll find out soon enough. Just get your
people to wait on standby.”
With that, Frank hung up, and flicked his fingers, launching a sliver of his vigor and popping the
chandelier in the room.
