Zack’s previous arrogance was completely gone as he repeatedly assured Frank.
Frank smiled faintly, “I don’t care about the Shaw or Lawson families. If you mess with her again, I won’t mind sending you down there to keep your brother company.”
Zack immediately fell to his knees. “I’m sorry, Frank. Rest assured, I’ll remember for the rest of my life that I’ve come this far because of you. From now on, I’ll call you ‘Dad‘ and Ms. Wilson ‘Mom‘!”
I had initially been confused about why Zack dared to negotiate with Ryan but was so afraid of Frank. Now, I understood.
The Frost Group was all above board, with no involvement in grey areas..
But the Smith family clearly operated in both legal and illegal worlds.
“You’re not my fucking son!” Frank cursed. “Get your people out of here, now.”
“Yes, sir!”
Zack quickly scrambled to his feet, calling his people to leave. Before he went, he clasped his hands in front of me and whispered urgently, “Ms. Wilson, I genuinely intended to let you go. Please, say something for me in front of Frank…”
“Look at this.”
I raised my hand, showing him the bloody and mangled wounds, “Zack, I can forgive you this time, but ! want to see the same kind of injury on Bethany.”
I no longer wished to repay resentment with kindness.

“Ms. Wilson, don’t make things difficult for me…”
Before he could finish, Frank descended the stairs with long strides, playing with a lighter in his hand.” You have so much to say with someone who kidnapped you?”
I slightly pursed my lips and pretended to be assertive. “I’m asking Mr. Johnson for a favor, but he’s unwilling to agree…
“I agree!”
Zack, no longer concerned about anything else and said loudly, “Ms. Wilson, I agree!”
Rather than offending Frank on the spot, he might as well agree now, think of a way to handle it quietly

later, and avoid offending anyone.
“Thank you.” I smiled.
