The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1280

The security guards all nodded in response. "Yes, sir!"

Hugh's face fell right then, and he promptly turned toward Gene to beg, "Please, Mr. Pearce! I'm sorry… Please forgive me! I'll apologize, alright?! I didn't mean to bring a fake vase! I never mean to insult you, and I shouldn't have bad-mouthed you… Please, for the sake of the Turnbull family…"

His undignified please only left Gene frowning, and he sneered at Hugh as everyone watched. "The Turnbulls? Really? You still have the cheek to mention them?! You've already humiliated them more than enough times! This is just a minor punishment—even Glen Turnbull himself can't argue against that if he was here!"

Then, looking up at the security guards, he barked coldly, "Do it!"

There was an audible crunch from the stage as Hugh's bones were broken, leaving the crowd cringing.

At that moment, they came to understand the savagery that lay beneath Gene's usually mild-mannered appearance.

In the end, Gene did not get where he was today with calm negotiations—he would use force when necessary, something which Dennis knew all too well.

"Mr. Pearce, please! Hugh goaded me into this. It was him, not me! Please forgive me!"

Dennis was absolutely horrified and was kowtowing endlessly to Frank and Gene.

Frank sighed, watching Dennis as he begged. "Don't you think it's too late for regrets? I told you that your son had done things that were beyond forgiveness—not killing him was already mercy on my part. But you refused to let it rest and completely ignored my advice… Well, there's no other choice now."
