However, Neil was actually interested since the offer Chaz made was exceedingly tempting.
That was why he was here to iron out the finer details.
"Yes. I've spoken to the Salazars myself, and they are all onboard. We'll take over Grande Pharma,
oust Vicky Turnbull, and eliminate her gigolo."
Still, Neil made a look of disdain. "The Salazars? Haven't they basically fallen apart already? Hell,
Drakon —Donald's eldest son—was killed almost as soon as he returned from Sage Lake Sect, and his
fiancee's gone without a trace."
"True," Chaz said with a grin. "But they used their influence to reach out to the Lionhearts."
"The Lionhearts?!" Neil's eyes widened in surprise. "What are you up to?"
"Nothing, really." Chaz licked his lips and flashed a cunning grin. "But I'm sure that Titus Lionheart won't
hold back if he finds out that his fiancee has a lover, don't you think?"
Neil was silent since there was a threatening edge in Chaz's tone, but he eventually said bluntly, "It's all
Frank Lawrence's fault. Us Turnbulls played no part in this."
"Of course!" Chaz replied with aplomb. "Ms. Turnbull is a beauty like none other. She certainly wouldn't
be interested in some random gigolo... So, if you're agreeing to this, Grande Pharma would be yours
and Ms. Turnbull would still marry Titus Lionheart while the Salazars get their revenge. It's killing three
birds with one stone, don't you think?"
"And what would you get?" Neil asked, staring fixedly at Chaz—he was not that dumb, after all.
"Hahaha!!!" Chaz laughed as he applauded. "I'm not at all ambitious. I'm just really fed up with my
fiance constantly breathing another man's name."
Neil gritted his teeth and growled, "Deal! So tell me, what do you need me to do?"
Chaz was just going to elaborate on his plan when a security guard noticed Vicky and Frank crouching
by a corner of the wall.
Striding toward them, he barked, "Who goes there?!"
"Hmph."
Without another word, Frank danced like a phantom, striking him in the back of his head and knocking
him out.
However, both Chaz and Neil heard the bodyguard.
Frowning, they both stopped talking right then.
"Damn it!" Vicky was gritting her teeth in frustration—they were almost getting to the most important
part, but some security guard blew their cover!
"We have to go!" she snapped and turned to leave.novelbin
However, Frank was more thorough—he carried the bodyguard with them while picking up a feral cat
from a nearby ditch and left it at the spot where they were hiding.
"A cat..?"
When both Chaz and Neil saw the cat leaping away as they rushed out of the hotel, they both breathed
a sigh of relief.
Still, Neil proved prudent and nodded at Chaz. "Seems like it isn't safe here. Let's talk someplace more
secure next time."
"Sure," Chaz smiled. "I have something to attend to myself, so let's pick up where we left off some
other day."
As Neil drove away, Frank and Vicky emerged out of hiding.
Vicky had been clearly scowling after hearing that the Lionhearts would get involved and was certainly
a lot less relaxed than earlier.
"I have to go, Frank. I need to send my men to keep watch on Neil."
Frank nodded, understanding her concern.
