The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1001

"You just have to tell us if you need money… Now, see? Your father was attacked and can't even say who it was or demand an apology. You have to suffer because of your pride, messing with the unseemly sort."

Although Mel's words were sympathetic, her expression did not show it—if anything, there was a hint of contempt.

Frank could see that Nash and Kat's relatives were treating them strangely. Pausing for a moment, he turned back to Matis and said quietly, "Listen to me. The man who attacked Nash is not someone you can mess with."

"Really?"

Matis snorted in turn, releasing Frank and walking to his mother, snorting in contempt, "Did you hear that, Mom? He said I can't mess with the man who attacked Uncle Nash."

Kat walked up to Frank just then, watching him anxiously as she asked, "Who did it, Master Lawrence? You could at least tell me, right?"

Frank shook his head. "Ignorance is bliss, and it's none of your business. I can handle it myself."

"Shut up!" Mel strode up, sneering at Frank. "How dare you say that Matis can't mess with them! Let me tell you this—my son is the CEO of Jundo Showtown! What, you haven't heard of it? It's a subsidiary of the Soranos' estate and is worth billions. Even the rich and powerful have to show my son due respect, let alone some street thug!"

Mel was basically projecting an air of superiority as she spoke, while Matis had his chest puffed smugly too.
