Dwight was certainly full of himself as he growled impatiently while glaring at Hughie and the rest, "I told you all to stay inside—just leave the rest to us."
His technique, the Crestone Fists, had always beaten any opponent to a bloody pulp, so he would rather not have an audience.
"Yes, yes, yes." Hughie did not argue and quickly pulled Cindy inside.
Gina started to pull Helen along too. "Come on, Helen. Just leave the bastard to Hughie's friends—let's stay out of this."
Helen smacked her hand away right then and demanded, "What is Frank talking about? What happened to Winter?!"
"T-That bitch…" Gina struggled to answer but soon gave up and snapped angrily instead, "Just stay out of this. It's more important that our family is brought back to the main family. And you just worry about marrying Chaz!"
"Mom!" Helen cried. "How could you do this?! Winter's my sister too!"
"Sister?! She's just a bitch Frank is grooming without the Turnbulls' knowledge!" Gina snapped at her disobedient daughter. "You're still siding with him after all this? Don't you know that he's the reason our family never had peace?! Plus, he molested your cousin—or do you think the footage was fake?! And don't think I don't know what you've been up to every morning lately—you were cooking for that bastard!"
Helen was shocked. "How did you—"
"Hughie!" Gina screamed before she could finish. "Lock her in her room! I've already spoken with the Graves family, and you're marrying Chaz in a week. You just stay put until it happens!"
Jade nodded in approval. "Good! Anything for my daughter!"
Gina glanced at Frank again and was stricken with heartfelt terror when she saw the murderous glare he leveled at her.
As she hurried back into the manor with Cindy and Jade, Dwight stepped beside Frank and whispered into his ear, "Look, kid—nothing personal, but I always work for the one who pays me. Thirty mil… If you can afford better than the Lanes, I'll let you go. Hell, I'd even beat them up for you!"
Dwight had zero principles of professional ethics—it was another reason he did not want an audience.
