บททั้งหมดของ The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage: บทที่ 1531 - บทที่ 1540

Frank did not answer Urian's awkward question and instead smiled and asked his own. "Mr. Reno, would you believe me if I said I'm affable and don't like resolving problems with violence?"Urian could only scowl, and he almost rolled his eyes at Frank.Fuck! This man floored all of his men instantly, even gloating that he had all of them where he wanted them to be… and then said he was affable?Still, come to think of it, the same applied to him.He glanced at Frank and saw the smirk of contempt Frank shot his way.It was clear that his question was rhetorical and a jibe at Urian, who was left troubled as he came to his senses.He was always on his toes as he made a living in Zamri and did his best to make the best choices.However, all of those jumping back and forth failed terribly today because he did not understand martial artists.He completely failed to see what Frank was capable of—it was even more ridiculous than the stuff in action movies!As he understood his position

"Exactly!" Urian cried anxiously. "Y-You and your men should hurry… I'm barely holding on here!""You're barely holding on?"Chet was taken aback—was that man with Noel that amazing?Urian had over a hundred goons too, but that man could handle them all by himself?!Chet certainly did not believe it, and it also soon occurred to him that Urian was exaggerating just to get more goodies from him."Sly old fox," he snorted, though he had no choice but to hurry with his men.Still, it was curiously quiet, and there were no security guards in sight at all."Wait!"Grom suddenly held up a hand to stop the others, frowning despite Chet's glare of impatience. "Chet—I mean, Mr. Jonas—don't you see that something is strange here?""What's strange?!" Chet snorted.All he could think about was Noel's devastating figure and ravishing smile.In fact, the closer he was, the less he was able to stop the fire blazing in his loins. And he actually thought he could smell Noel's perfume in the

"What…"Chet naturally had no idea what Frank was talking about.After all, he brought Grom and the other Lionheart martial elites to capture Noel, since he could see that Frank was a martial artist and could cause him trouble.But what did Frank mean by bringing his suspects straight to him?That was when Grom bellowed in the distance, "I-I recognize you! You're Frank Lawrence… From Lanecorp! You're the head of Lanecorp's health and safety department!'"What?!"Chet turned towards Frank in disbelief right then, because Sil had mentioned Frank's name to him before.In fact, Sil made it clear that Frank was the one man they must be wary of, and that the one thing they must never do during this operation was run into that jinx.And somehow, things took quite a surprising turn…"Oh, it seems you know me?"Frank smiled as he stood up, slowly projecting a menacing presence as the office's temperature dropped.The steaming tea on the desk actually froze right then, while Chet murm

"Now, I have questions, and you will all answer," Frank said as he walked slowly toward Chet as he sat limply on the floor, his face drained of all color."P-Please ask… I'll tell you everything…" Chet was so petrified in fear that he had no idea what he was saying."Yesterday, the expensive equipment Lanecorp was transporting had been stolen or sabotaged mid-transit—""That was us!" Chet admitted to it immediately, tears flowing down his cheeks as he kowtowed to Frank endlessly. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Lawrence… We did it, but we were just following orders! It was Sil Lionheart who put us up to it—we don't dare to go against him!"Chet's pleading cries left Urian snorting coolly.Just earlier, the man was looking all smug, bragging about how beautiful a job he did and how brightly their fires burnt.He certainly did not look like he was forced to do it!Still, Urian did not say a word, in case he would blow up like Grom did.It was such a horrific way to go, and he had not even h

"Hmm? So it seems that you've really met Noel York," Sil said quietly from the other end of the call. "It slipped my mind, but she's working with Lanecorp now. But you're saying she's willing to switch sides?"Sil's words left Chet flinching, his heart almost caving.He finally knew how it felt to be duped.If Sil had told him about Noel before this, would he have brought the Lionheart martial elites here to attempt capturing Noel, hence leading them straight to a trap?Well, even as rage welled inside Chet, it was too late for regrets now.While he felt stressed just from lying to Sil earlier, he now felt free and unburdened, since Sil neglected to tell him about Noel.If only Sil had told him, would they have played straight into Frank's hands?!As Chet found his resolve, his eloquence returned. "Yes, that's what Ms. York told me personally. Also…""What is it?" Sil frowned on the other end."But Ms. York said she has a contract with Lanecorp," Chet explained. "If she were t
