Chapter 270

Chris‘ eyes were evasive even as he quickly came up with another excuse. “I have no connection with Viola–I bought that red diamond necklace! She wanted it too, but I didn’t give in, so she bore a grudge over that!”

The Lanes were all trading glances, not sure who to believe with Frank and Chris arguing.

Frank turned toward Cindy just then and said, “Why don’t you tell us. Is the necklace Viola’s or Chris‘?”

Cindy did not think that Frank would turn his crosshairs on her.

At that moment, what she said would decide what the Lanes would believe, and she certainly knew the truth. After all, during the party, Viola wore a blue diamond necklace with a design identical to Chris‘ red diamond necklace.

However, if she told the truth, she would upset Chris… And Frank was not going to thank her

anyway.

And considering all the grievances she harbored toward Frank, helping Chris and getting in his good graces was much more ideal.

“O–Of course it’s Mr. Steiner’s,” she said. “Ms. Salazar is just jealous.”

Frank frowned at her words, his eyes flashing murderously. “Still lying, are you?”

“Ahhh!!!”

Knowing how strong Frank was, Cindy screamed as soon as Frank rushed toward her, hiding behind Gina as she cried, “Help me, Aunt Gina!”

“Stop!” Gina bellowed as she glared at Frank. “How dare you lay a finger on my family!”

“You’re just jealous, kid.” Chris laughed coolly and rolled up his sleeves, ready to hit Frank. ” Hating me just because Mrs. Lane likes me better, and now, you’re trying to hurt Cindy too. I won’t allow such behavior!”

Peter, however, quickly stopped Chris. “Calm down, Mr. Steiner. Don’t stoop to that lowlife’s level.”

In reality, he was afraid that Chris would be beaten to a pulp, especially when Chris was the only person who could bail out his family now.

“Enough!” Helen suddenly bellowed, stopping all of them.copy right hot novel pub
