Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 991

Franky suddenly said, "Are you lying to yourself or to them, Ms. Lane?”

I looked at him and suddenly noticed that there were several muscular guys behind him.

He looked at me with a face full of mockery. "Maybe worry about yourself first, Ms. Lane. Although Mr. Milan respects the Fredericks, it doesn't mean that he's scared of them. If you don't tone it down, then Mr. Milan might make you join them too."

Having said that, he looked at the men behind him and spoke to them in their language while pointing at Shannon and the rest.

My eyes widened as I shouted, "What do you plan to do to them?!"

Franky looked at me and said with a sneer, "You can't possibly think that Mr. Milan ordered me to take you here to admire the scenery?"

I frowned. "I’m asking what do you plan to do to them?"

Franky looked coldly at me. "Let me roughly elaborate t o you what Mr. Milan wants. Although he can't hurt you now, he can show you how your friends will be harmed. You look like a person who cares a lot about your friendships."

My complexion instantly turned pale. Looking at the men walking toward the glass compartments, I held Franky's hand and pleaded with him. "Please don't hurt them. They didn't do anything wrong."

Franky sneered. "Leia took care of you for days but had to be sent here simply because you were ten minutes late. Do you think she’s innocent too?"

I was stunned, not knowing what to say.

However, when I saw the men approaching the glass compartments, I was immediately flustered and continued pleading with him. "I was wrong, Mr. Frank. Please don't hurt them. I was wrong."

"Are you going to take their place, then?" Franky looked at me with a faint smile.

I shook my head, exposing the truest side of humanity.

Franky let out a boisterous laugh, saying while guffawing, "Ms. Lane, if you can’t sacrifice yourself to save others, then stop pretending to be a saint."

My face was instantly pale, and I was momentarily lost for words.

However, I did not intend to just sit around and watch.

I gritted my teeth and said, "Mr. Frank, I just hurt one o f your friends yet you’re retaliating against five of my friends. Don't you think that’s very unfair?"

Franky raised his eyebrows. "Are you saying that I can pick one, then?"

I opened my mouth, not knowing what to say. I was even more afraid to look at Shannon and the rest.

Franky sneered and said, "Why don't you pick one out of five of your friends, then? We’ll be even then, right?"

I pursed my lips, not saying a word.

Seeing that I was silent, he said with a smile, "Looks like you just want your friends to share the pain and suffering together."

"No!" I quickly said, my body going cold from head to toe.

"Hurry up and pick one, then.”

I looked at Shannon and the rest. I saw Nina looking a t me with a look of disbelief. Her eyes were full of indignation.

I withdrew my gaze, having no courage to look at them again nor meet their eyes.

After falling silent for a long time, I looked at Frank and said, "Don't hurt them. I’ll take the blame for the mistakes I made."

Frank snickered. "It isn't your turn yet."

After a pause, he pointed at Shannon and the rest and continued to say, "You're the one who hurt Leia, after all, not these ladies. Although I can't touch you now, choosing one of these women to avenge Leia isn’t exactly unacceptable for me either. Since you can't make a choice, I'll choose for you, then. Neither of us

will feel upset about it."
