Chapter 76 What Is Going On
A great trepidation filled Finnegan’s heart, and he had no other option but to treat Frankie respectfully.
Thinking that Frankie was here to pick on Rafe, Finnegan immediately severed all ties with Rafe, as he feared that he would be implicated in the situation himself.
Frankie merely eyed Finnegan coldly without saying a single word. However, he was actually observing Rafe through the corner of his eyes, pondering about how he could please the latter.
I must not be too lax around someone worthy of Mr. Campbell’s personal intervention.
When Finnegan saw Frankie’s expression, he thought the latter was here to seek trouble with Rafe, so he emphasized again. “Mr. Yates, this useless man has nothing to do with us! Faye will divorce him immediately.”
The expression on Frankie’s face was unfathomable as he asked, “Useless man? Divorce?”
He looked thoughtful, but one could not discern any emotions on his face.
Seeing the current situation, Finnegan had no idea how to respond.
What on earth has Rafe done to make Frankie come all the way here?
“That’s right! He is just a good-for-nothing!” Finnegan replied.
Upon hearing that, Frankie strode toward Finnegan slowly and gave him a slap.
Even though Finnegan was furious, he did not dare to utter a word of complaint and lowered his head instead.
That was Frankie’s way of managing things—he was arrogant, and he liked to bully the weak. Apart from that, he loved to grovel to the people who were more powerful than him. With Donald backing him up, he even had the guts to beat Nigel up.
Now that Mr. Campbell has my back, Nigel is just a nobody to me!
Meanwhile, Faye and the rest merely looked at Frankie with wild astonishment.
What is going on here? Rafe is the one who offended you. Why did you hit my dad?
Frankie’s next action merely left them more bewildered.
He gave Finnegan another tight slap before saying, “You guys must be blind! Rafe is my boss! Get it?”
With that, Frankie glared at Finnegan fiercely. It was as though he could not wait to devour the latter.
Unable to believe what he had just heard, Finnegan stared at Frankie with widened eyes.
Everyone knew one of Frankie’s prominent characteristics. He would address anyone who was more powerful than him as his so-called boss. This was a common knowledge among the people of Pollerton.
Now that Frankie said that Rafe was his “boss,” without a doubt, this meant that Rafe was such a powerful character that even Frankie was intimidated by him.
Since when has Rafe gotten so powerful? Seeing that he doesn’t wield the power himself, this meant that the person backing him up is the powerful one. Hence, who is the one backing Rafe up? It must be Donald!
After coming to that conclusion, Finnegan and Faye were so shocked that they stood rooted to the ground as if they had been electrocuted.
“Divorce? No relations with Rafe?” Frankie let out a cold snort. “That’s just convenient! Rafe isn’t a man you could simply hang out with anymore! From now onward, he is someone who can boss me around, and whoever opposes him will make me their enemy instantly!”
The shock of everyone in the room intensified.
All this while, the blond man still stood there dumbfoundedly with his dagger still placed on Rafe’s throat.
Frankie immediately charged toward him and kicked him in the gut. “How dare you attack Rafe? You should be severely punished for that!”
Meanwhile, Rafe was still stupefied by the recent revelation. What is going on here? Who am I, and where am I? Where do I come from, and where am I going to end up?
Just then, a snigger was heard from behind the curtain, eliciting a furious glance from Frankie immediately.
Then, Lana walked out of her hiding place.
“You are much stronger than your uncle,” she remarked with a smile.
Frankie was first taken aback after seeing her, but he immediately understood that Lana was probably here on Donald’s instruction to keep the entire situation in check. After Frankie thought it over, he tried even harder to show his efforts.
“Rafe, I know you are shocked. But don’t worry. I have already made arrangements for Stanley to be a pig rearer for the rest of his life. On top of that, you don’t have to keep this fat wife of yours anymore. I have a beautiful cousin whom I was going to introduce to you.” After Frankie said that, he crouched obsequiously to massage Rafe’s legs.
