Peter was not afraid at all and poised a fist as he snapped, “A good-for-nothing like you talking back to me?! I’ll straighten you out for my sister’s sake right now!”

That was when Frank suddenly kicked him in the gut, sending him flying like a bullet.

“Argh!” Peter’s girlfriend turned pale in panic and scrambled to his side. “Are you alright, darling?!”

Nearby, Vicky was smiling coolly.

Trying to lay a finger on Frank? The brat certainly was brave.

That being said, she was more curious about the ‘Helen’ Frank mentioned.

“Damn you…” Peter’s face contorted from the agony in his stomach—it felt like his guts would spill out!

Glaring darkly at Frank, he growled, “H-How dare you hit me!”

Frank remained calm and composed. “I won’t press the issue for your sister’s sake. But now that I’ve cut ties with your family, I’ll kill you the next time you mess with me.”

Peter actually flinched from the murderous intent in Frank’s eyes and swallowed all the obscenities at the tip of his tongue.

Instead, he wheeled on Vicky and snapped, “What are you doing?! I’m a guest here, and that man hit me! Aren’t you the lobby manager?! Do something!”

Vicky did a double take and soon shook her head exasperatedly.

So she looked like a lobby manager to him?

In that case, she could play that game one time.

Beckoning at the security guards, she said, “Get him out of here.”

“What are you doing?! Let me go! I’m from the Lane family!” Peter screamed hysterically. “This isn’t over yet! Just you wait!”

“The Lane family? Hadn’t heard. Even your grandpa would have to be watching his manners around my presence,” Vicky scoffed in disdain. “And you’re certainly nothing to me. Throw him out.”
