The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 1280

The security guards all nodded in response. "Yes, sir!"

Hugh's face fell right then, and he promptly turned toward Gene to beg, "Please, Mr. Pearce! I'm sorry... Please forgive me! I'll apologize, alright?! I didn't mean to bring a fake vase! I never mean to insult you, and I shouldn't have bad-mouthed you... Please, for the sake of the Turnbull family..."

His undignified please only left Gene frowning, and he sneered at Hugh as everyone watched. "The Turnbulls? Really? You still have the cheek to mention them?! You've already humiliated them more than enough times! This is just a minor punishment-even Glen Turnbull himself can't argue against that if he was here!"

Then, looking up at the security guards, he barked coldly, "Do it!"

There was an audible crunch from the stage as Hugh's bones were broken, leaving the crowd cringing.

At that moment, they came to understand the savagery that lay beneath Gene's usually mild-mannered appearance.

In the end, Gene did not get where he was today with calm negotiations he would use force when necessary, something which Dennis knew all too well.

"Mr. Pearce, please! Hugh goaded me into this. It was him, not me! Please forgive me!"

Dennis was absolutely horrified and was kowtowing endlessly to Frank and Gene.

Frank sighed, watching Dennis as he begged. "Don't you think it's too late for regrets? I told you that your son had done things that were beyond forgiveness-not killing him was already mercy on my part. But you refused to let it rest and completely ignored my advice... Well, there's no other choice now."

Dennis was left dumbfounded by Frank's words, realizing immediately that it was over for him.

"Take him away," Gene said shortly, waving his hand.

Understanding Gene's intention, the security guards nodded and dragged Dennis away like they would an animal.

Though deflated, Dennis' face contorted with spite as he watched Hugh being dragged away too.

"It's all because you talked me into this! I'll haunt you even if I die, Hugh Turnbull!"

Dennis' curse left Hugh flinching, and suddenly, even his legs did not hurt that much in comparison.

And having dealt with the two annoying insects, Gene was once again mild-mannered and smiling as he stood on the second-floor landing.

But now, the guests knew for sure that Gene could be more brutal than he appeared to be, and most of them were suddenly a lot more tame.

As the vibes turned solemn, Gene chuckled, as if he did not just sentence Hugh and Dennis to a terrible fate.

"Alright," he said. "Let's continue the auction-I'll make a five hundred billion dollar bid for the Jade Marrow Pill. Do I hear any other bids?" Though Gene was smiling as he looked around the hall, anyone could hear the threat in his tone.
