The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage romance Capítulo 20

At the same time, Peter was groaning and moaning on a bed at Riverton General.

He was unable to move with his entire arm plastered, while Gina was sobbing, her heart broken. "What happened, Peter? Who hurt you?"

Sean added indignantly, "Tell me who it is. I will settle the score for you."

"Who else?!" Peter cried. "It's that b*st*rd Frank Lawrence!"

Helen was taken aback. "But Frank's been at Verdant Hotel the whole time…"

"He sent his goons after me!" Peter growled through his teeth.

In reality, Barney gave him a thorough beating just as he was ready to join them at Verdant Hotel. While Barney himself did tell Peter that Frank sent him, Peter did not mention the fact that he sent Barney to hurt Frank in the first place.

Even so, only Helen found his story suspicious. "Why would Frank send people after you?"

She knows that Frank was not that petty and would not have Peter beaten up just because he did not like him.

Peter started to stammer right then, "H-He's jealous of me… What other reason is there?"

However, Helen could see that he was averting his eyes as well. "Is there something you're not telling us?"

Peter's face fell, and he shrieked, "What are you saying Helen?! You'd rather trust a stranger than me?!"

Gina too snapped impatiently, "Helen, are you implying Peter is going to lie to you? Why do you keep siding with outsiders, really?"

Exasperated, Helen gave a noncommittal response. "Fine, I believe you, alright?"

However, she made a mental note to ask Frank later.

On the other hand, Sean was thumping his chest and assuring Peter, "Don't worry, Peter. I'll avenge you when there's a chance."

"I did," Frank replied, nodding.

"W-Why would you do that?" Helen demanded, feeling pained.

Frank shrugged. "He sent that thug after me first, but I gave the thug a beatdown instead. It's only natural that I made sure I return your brother's favor, though."

Helen was left gritting her teeth in frustration and stamping her feet. "I knew Peter wasn't telling the truth—I'm sorry if I got a little emotional."

Still, she suddenly looked into Frank's eyes and asked. "So… Where were you staying yesterday?"

"The penthouse suite of Verdant Hotel," Frank replied.

Helen clenched her knuckles without knowing it. "With Vicky Turnbull?"
