The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage romance Capítulo 404

Hughie immediately felt a pang of pain in his kneecap, while his own inertia sent him crashing headlong on the wall!

There was an audible thud, and he was promptly bleeding freely from the forehead.

"Oh!" Cindy gasped as she turned pale and ran up to Hughie, asking in concern, "Are you alright, Hughie?"

Hughie was left clutching his head as he growled through his teeth, "I'm fine, I'm fine… I just slipped."

He actually had no idea what happened, and his knees were still very much in pain!

Wheeling on Frank, he snapped, "You bastard! Why did you dodge?! Weren't you going to fight me?!"

Cindy was frowning at Frank too. "Yeah! Why did you dodge?"

Frank laughed coldly. "What, am I supposed to just stand there and wait? Why are you blaming me for being slow? Though it's hilarious how you crashed straight into the wall."

"Bastard!" Hughie was livid, but even as he tried to get up to attack Frank, he realized he had no strength in his knees at all.

Cindy saw him stumble and quickly asked, "What's wrong, Hughie?"

Hughie pursed his lips. "I-I can't feel my legs…"

"What?!" Cindy exclaimed in shock. "How could this be?"

Frank sneered in turn. "Maybe you hit your head so hard that you can't use your legs anymore?"

"Shut up!" Hughie bellowed, but he did not have time to bother with Frank anymore. "Cindy… Get me to the hospital…"

"Okay…"

Cindy nodded and helped him to the hospital without delay.

"I'm sorry, but no." Vicky glowered in turn. "Grande Pharma is my life's work. I won't sell it for anything."

Drake chuckled. "Then there's nothing to discuss."

"I beg to differ." Vicky smiled. "You're a guest of Riverton, so let's discuss the rules of engagement."

"And you're suggesting…?"

"Non-lethal knockouts, naturally."

They would be sending out their representatives, and the ultimate winner got to make demands.

It was a common enough practice for major factions sparring, and Vicky naturally had the guts to apply this rule since Boran was on their side.

If they won here, they would be able to send the Chandlers home without bloodshed.
