Semua Bab The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage: Bab 1841 - Bab 1850

Smack!Even as Cara was going to insult Jean and Winter further, she felt a sudden gust of wind brushing against her cheek, and it soon blaze agonizingly.The audible slap left everyone in the room stunned."What the…""Frank?"Winter was clutching her reddened cheek as she looked up, staring in disbelief at the man suddenly standing beside her.On the other hand, Frank's eyes were narrowed, and his growl was murderous. "How dare you hit my sister!""D-Did you just hit me?!"Cara was left clutching her bruised cheek which quickly swelled up, at a loss.Her lips trembled even as he looked up and glared at Frank. "H-How dare you! Who do you think you are?! I'm Governor Quill's daughter-in-law!""You're asking for it!"Even before anyone realized it, Frank slapped Cara across the face again with his backhand, hitting her so hard he knocked out several bloodied teeth.She dropped limply on the floor with a thud, stunned, and it took her considerable effort to come to her senses

Seeing that there was no one else around, Jean calmly walked up to greet Frank. "I'm surprised… You've really kept your cards close to your chest!"She had been there with Winter when Frank was personally training her in traditional Draconian medicine, so she and Frank were quite close too. And while she was not as accomplished as Winter, she was a capable assistant to her."What's that supposed to mean?" Frank raised a brow, perplexed.Jean was glancing at Winter just then, rolling her eyes at her bestie who was smiling stupidly as she leaned into Frank's chest."I'm talking about your family connections, of course," she said with a snort. "I mean, Governor Quill's grandson? Tut, tut… You'd be strutting in Riverton if you had told everyone back then, and there certainly wouldn't be so many problems."Frank chuckled at her words, shaking his head. "I just found out myself, and…"He then paused, glancing coldly at the stairs where Cara fled. "I wouldn't stoop to taking up such tit

Jean simply shrugged at Winter's question. "I'm fine either way.""Actually… Let's not do that." Frank smiled, remembering Governor Quill's horrific presence just then.Given Winter's meek nature, she would faint at the sight of Governor Quill.In fact, it would be fine if she just fainted—Frank would have trouble forgiving himself if something worse were to happen, and Governor Quill would most probably feel the same too."Something like this… should be planned ahead," he said vaguely."Umph!"Just as Winter tilted her head aside in confusion, Megan Quill grunted audibly in pain, drawing the trio's attention.Jean scowled and muttered, "Guess Dr. Georg has just done his thing.""Yeah." Frank agreed."Urgh… How did things turn out like this?"Winter remained too kind for her own good, feeling concern for the patient despite being slapped for her troubles. "Frank, can't you do anything about the parasite?""I can," Frank replied without hesitation and recounted how Megan was

Not even Saul could have anticipated that his ambition might be threatened by some nephew who appeared out of nowhere.And being the eldest son, he had to watch as his own father showered said nephew with praise, even suggesting that he would let the kid inherit his office.At that point, Saul was not going to take this lying down.That was why he and the younger generation of the family were all busy sending out their people to find out more about Frank over the last few days.It was therefore shocking that Frank came on his own, even striking Cara in public.That was certainly the perfect excuse for Saul to eliminate Frank as a threat, but Frank's words had now caught him off guard."Brat…"Saul frowned, wondering the same thing Jean and Winter did.Was Frank really not interested in the Quill family's wealth and influence?Was that even possible, refusing to become the governor of the entire east coast?!While various expressions alternated over Saul's face, he had lived l

"That's right!" Cara kept hollering, her brows furrowing as she remembered something else. "Don't you ever come back once you step out of our gates! Don't ever contact the governor either, or tell the public that you're one of us! Understand that we don't welcome bastards like you!"While Frank's visage turned icy from the Quills' taunting and insults, even Winter had had enough.Tugging on Frank's arm, she pleaded, "Let's go, Frank…"She was deeply afraid Frank would do something he could not turn back from.Beside them, Jean was scowling silently in frustration too."Sir."The soldiers who escorted Frank earlier left Saul's side as well, extending a hand and gesturing the way."Sir? Who are you calling sir?"Cara smirked, pursing her lips. "He's just some daydreaming beggar trying to suck up to the Quills! Just get out already!""Didn't you hear?!" Alba chimed in. "Get out!"Frank had enough of the duo's combined taunting just then and wheeled on them as he flashed a taunti
