Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 318

"He must be scared of you now. Don't let him pin this on you," Matthew said.

"Please stop, William," Liam added.

The anger in my eyes slowly faded when I saw the concern on my friends' faces. As I regained some clarity, I tossed the stool aside.

When I looked down at Frankie again, I saw that he was still alive, or rather, not seriously hurt. He could still move his arms and legs, but just couldn't get up.

"Mark, get over here! Do you hear me? Have you forgotten that I saved your whole family? Is this how you repay me?" Frankie shouted.

Mark finally reacted to his words, but instead of responding verbally, he slowly raised his hand and gave Frankie the middle finger.

I couldn't help but laugh. I didn't expect such a calm and honest man to make such a gesture.

The people around us were equally stunned.

Frankie was dumbfounded. He spat out a mouthful of blood and stammered, "W-what do you mean? Are you really going to betray me? How dare you?"

Before he could finish, I slapped him across the face. "Listen, Frankie. From now on, Mark is mine. If you ever speak disrespectfully to him again, it's as if you're disrespecting me. I won't let you off."

I smirked and added, "You've been quietly investigating Mark's family, pretending to assist with their medical expenses. But in reality, you've given them almost nothing. You only provide 2,000 dollars a month and make him pay you back. You've been manipulating and taking advantage of him. How dare you claim to have 'saved his family'? You're worse than a landlord exploiting the poor!"

The people around us were shocked. They had been curious about why Mark had been so loyal to Frankie for so long, especially in this day and age when blind loyalty didn't make sense. It turned out it was all a scam.

After hearing my words, Liana frowned and shot Frankie a contemptuous look. While Dragonshade Society had many wrongdoings, they despised petty theft and fraud.
