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.

Since no one was willing to spare me, why should I seek peace?

“Ms. Wilson…”

Zack was on the verge of tears.

The Smith family and the Shaw family were equally formidable. He couldn’t afford to offend either.

1 smiled and spoke calmly, “She is a stranger in this strange land. This is Jelaston, your turf. If you want to, it shouldn’t be difficult to injure her without anyone noticing, right?”

“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.

He looked relieved and led his men out in a grand manner.

Soon, only the desolate sound of the wind was left in the basement.

Frank looked at my disheveled state on the floor and frowned slightly, “This is the first time I’ve seen a wife of an affluent such a state.”

“Thanks to Bethany.”

I knew about his relationship with the Shaw family, so I had no good feelings toward him.

Frank didn’t deny it and cocked his brows. “Can you move?”

I had tried several times to get up, but the injury on my ankle was worse than the ones on my hands. Forcing myself up would only make me fall again. “You’ll need to help me.”

“Fine.” He nodded lazily, put the lighter in his pocket, and bent down.

As I reached out my hand, he placed one hand on my back and the other through my knees, easily lifting me up. He said blandly, “Mrs. Frost, sometimes learning to show weakness might be beneficial for you.
