Semua Bab The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage: Bab 1871 - Bab 1880

Even as Cara complained, she showed her hands—where no bleeding could be seen, let alone wounds—to her son.Still, Rex smiled and nodded at his mother before turning to leer at his father Gero in disdain, even as he hid himself among the crowd.Although Gero was Governor Quill's second son and Rex's father, he was also the man whom Rex despised the most.His weak father would always be a stain to his existence."Rex Quill!"Eric was glaring at Rex as he strode up, glowering and barking, "Are you trying to stop us?! Don't forget that we have guns, and we'll go down swinging if we have to!""Tut, tut…"Rex shook his head in amusement, even as the other members of the Quill family appeared panicking.He even took his time to shoot his eldest uncle a look of contempt and chuckled coolly, "What, do you think that you get to strut in Quill Manor just because someone beat my uncle? Do you really think that weapons could threaten me? Nah, that's just naive of you."Even as Tim and Eri

"However, we are willing to pardon every guard involved in the failed coup for now, and even agree to your demands of letting your families go. But…"Waving them off and chuckling, Rex's tone changed sharply even as he continued. "Before you leave, you must promise me one thing. If you succeed, I'll let you go. But if you fail…"He quietly turned toward the storehouse in the distance. "None of your families will survive. Sure, you can question my resolve now, and I'll give you a very simple response."At his threat, every soldier who tried to resist bowed their heads, and Rex nodded in satisfaction. "Good.""That's my son for you!" Cara exclaimed, her face glowing with pride at how her son pacified the guards' coup all by himself.In the distance, Saul, who was barely standing, could see Rex sneering at him and could not stop feeling queasy right then."Brat…"Saul had the feeling that despite Rex's youth, the boy would become his worst opponent.On the other hand, Rex felt tha

Soon, aside from the brocade mites that managed to crawl out of the bathtub, the rest were all detaching from Megan's body.Suddenly, Megan groaned and slowly opened her eyes, and she immediately saw Frank standing beside her, impassive.As her memories flooded back to her, her gaze at Frank turned from shock to rage instantly, "You?! What are you, Frank Lawrence?!"Before she could unleash a full-blown outburst at Frank, however, she suddenly felt a tickle.Looking down, she found herself immersed in a pool of unknown green liquid, with many disgusting mites floating on the surface."Argh!!!" She shrieked as she scrambled to crawl out of the bathtub, but even as she did, she accidentally gulped a mouthful of the green liquid, along with one of the dead mites.Collapsing on her knees right then, she vomited so violently that she was soon puking bile.Even as Megan wondered if she would puke her guts out and die, she found herself staring at a pair of feet.She looked up to se

Suddenly, Megan chuckled coolly. "Oh, I get it… You must've been trying to cop a feel, so Uncle Saul wanted to punish you!""I'm not interested in you."Frank looked up impassively as he coolly repeated himself before sighing quietly. "There are things you're better off not knowing."Megan frowned, muttering under her breath, "You don't have to keep saying you're not interested…"Frank looked up, staring at her in confusion, leaving her cringing guiltily just then."Done!"Five minutes later, Frank pulled out all the acupoint needles from Megan and started to turn and leave. "I've also left you with two Ichor Pills. And since your family wouldn't be short on supplements, just remember to take those as well. You'll be fine once you take your time to recover."Seeing that Frank was about to leave, Megan opened her mouth to speak but ultimately gave up.Covering her mouth under her blanket, she murmured softly, "Thank you…"Frank waved her off, gesturing that it was unnecessary.

There was clear disappointment in Governor Quill's eyes as he watched his fiftyish son stammer, unable to finish a coherent sentence.Unbeknownst to him, Saul was merely afraid to face him because of his own misdeeds."Grandfather."Nonetheless, even as silence ensued, a voice that was clearly hiding panic spoke from behind Gero.It was none other than Rex himself.Cara was almost petrified at the sight of her son standing out at this delicate moment. "Are you crazy, Rex?! What are you doing?!"It was clear that the governor was very furious at the moment and basically interrogating Saul as if his crime was proven.Would her son not be presenting himself in the governor's crosshairs if he spoke up now?!And unsurprisingly, Cara saw Governor Quill glaring coldly at her son, his eyes judgmental and devoid of the warmth he afforded Frank. "Rex, was it? Gero's son? Do you understand what you're doing?"The pressure from Governor Quill's glare left Rex nervous, and he actually thou
