The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 2424

Matteo did not hesitate to hang up.

Seeing his panic, one of his goons quickly asked, "What's wrong, boss? Did someone actually put the fear of god in you?"

Matteo sneered. "There's always a big fisher. Never underestimate everyone!"

He really would not be scared on any other occasion, but for some reason, he knew just from hearing Frank's voice that this was going to be bad.

"No, we can't wait here." He snorted, shaking his head. "Gather the boys. We're going to the village!"

"Alright!"

Mattero was soon in his Audi A6 and had one of his goons gather all the villagers and address them through the village public address system.

"Everyone, do you remember how things changed for the village ever since Matteo started out? Not only do many of you have jobs now, but the basic amenities of the village are improving too! Everyone with a conscience can see that, don't you agree?!"

The villagers nodded, and seeing that, the goon demanded, "And now, someone is trying to hurt Matteo! Are you going to let him?!"

"No!"

"Never!"

"Never in a million years!"

The villagers were down-to-earth and always ready to repay a favor.

Seeing that Matteo was in trouble, they were immediately ready to help!

"Either way, we shall see!" the goon continued. "Words don't matter—actions speak louder!"

The villagers laughed. "Don't worry—we're not that educated, but we won't bite the hand that feeds us!"

"Hell, if you have a pair on you, kill us all or leave!"

The villagers were all keen to protect Matteo, but they did not want to go too far and merely tried to threaten Frank into leaving.

Frank simply shrugged. "It seems we're all reasonable people, so I'll be frank—Matteo Crass is a criminal who sells national artifacts abroad and used his forebears' names to hide his crimes! You'd tarnish your own reputation if you insist on protecting him!"

However, the villagers laughed, clearly skeptical.

"What, you thought we'd take your word at face value? Just quit already. We watched him grow up! He'd never do anything like that!"

"Moreover, he owns several factories and created many jobs for us! Why would he do anything bad?"

Frank smiled and nodded. "You're right. Logically speaking, he should have more reason than anyone else to behave, so that he won't get in trouble. But the problem is that people can get greedy, and Matteo is one of them!"

"Obviously not content with his life now, he wants more money… and he's far more despicable than you think!"
