Eddie's wedding was a success, and everyone was happy despite the little mishaps that occurred halfway.
On top of that, Gina stole the limelight in this gathering of old classmates, and it was naturally thanks to Frank. Many of her old classmates were envious that she got herself such an amazing son-in-law, but the praise only left Gina at once proud, guilty, and embarrassed.
After all, it was understatement to say that she used to treat Frank terribly—she was basically hostile, which was why she appeared troubled whenever she glanced at Frank while her old classmates praised him.
If anything, it was because he was so amazing that someone as short-sighted as Gina herself could not understand her own daughter's choice.
On the other hand, the worst loser in said wedding was undoubtedly Hardy Xinder.
It was tragic to lose a son at his age, and worst of all, he had no comeback when security brought up footage of his son Jackie Xinder's altercation with Frank.
Just as Frank had said, Jackie was the one who threw a glass of water at Frank's face unprovoked before calling up his gangster friends to attack Frank.
In the end, he could only leave, frustrated and seething.
While Hardy was actually a good-for-nothing, he had hooked up with many rich women.
As he was not about to let this grudge against Frank slide, he left the wedding halfway, going straight to a former flame and asking her to do a background check on Frank.
"Old-timer…"
In the luxurious residence, the elderly woman shook her head exasperatedly at Hardy even as she sat on the couch. "Frank Lawrence is more than what you'd think. If you're going against him, you have to be ready to make sacrifices."
Relenting, she rubbed her chin in thought. "Well, since even Jaden Favoni couldn't beat him, going straight for his throat will prove difficult. It's more ideal to find targets near him and let him have a taste of losing those dearest to him… and ideally shifting the blame on him, destroying his reputation."
"How do we do that?" Hardy asked, his knuckles clenching.
"I heard that while Helen Lane is currently in control of Lanecorp, things are not really amicable between her and her extended family. For example, Fleur Lang, Mark Lane's second wife, has been unhappy with Helen's group for a while. And if we exploit that fact…"
The woman narrowed her eyes as she told Hardy her plan.
His eyes lit up right then, and he exclaimed, "Very good. Let's go with that!"
