Semua Bab The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage: Bab 2261 - Bab 2270

Sally was freaking out. "Are you crazy?! This has nothing to do with you. Why would you try to help me? Even if you care for me, do you think I'd care for you? Just go already!"Even so, Whitney smiled. "You're my daughter, no matter how terrible you've become. It's a parent's fault if their child runs astray, and this is just what I deserve."While Sally was left drawing a blank, Frank put his hands together and chuckled. "Nice family drama. I like it."Then, turning toward Sadie, he asked, "And what are you going to say now?"Sadie, however, said nothing—she would protect her brother as vehemently as Whitney protected Sally, but rationality told her not to.Frank chuckled. "Alright, since no one has anything to say, I will say it—your research is quite valuable, and you might even help me leave Shagan eventually, so I won't kill you for now."A dazzling gleam shrouded Sally and Rain right then, as Frank warned, "If either of you turn against me again, I can kill you anytime!"

Rudy rolled his eyes at the man and smirked. "I guess you don't really know Lugh Frankton. Just understand that he's not as simple as he looks, and I don't care about his wealth or women—I want his ring!""His ring?" The man appeared perplexed.Rudy ignored him and snapped coolly, "I need lackeys, so some thugs will do. For the moment, my presence here must not be known, and Lugh Frankton mustn't find out about my goal—being a thug boss would work for my operation.""What?!" The man appeared even more perplexed.After all, this man was Rudy Himmel! Fearsome as a bear, he was an Ascendant-ranked martial artist, and it was said that not even guns and bullets would hurt him. And yet, a lone ranger like him, who was infamously keen to show off and savage, would somehow be afraid of Lugh?However, the man was certainly afraid to disobey Rudy and did as he was told.Around thirty thugs were gathered by the afternoon, but Rudy was absolutely disgusted when he saw them, what with their d

"Oh, definitely," Jada replied coolly. "Jouri Yelin is more than what she seemed—she has political ties and answers to a mysterious organization that has resources we can't hope to match. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she's untouchable."Alda remained perplexed. "In that case, why would she bother with crime?""People change." Jada sneered. Nearby, Frank smiled in wry amusement. "That's enough teasing. Jouri is interested in the spiritron vein, but I can assure you that she's never hurt me. From the looks of things, she's just been tasked with approaching me."I'm asking Jada to look into her to examine her connections. We're not suspecting any political parties just yet—I just can't trust them with a precedent like Hector Clet."Alda sighed in relief—that was better, as she really did not want Frank to stand on opposing sides.That was when Sally York entered. "You want to know about Jouri?" she purred, hugging Frank's arm and offering her left cheek. "Kiss me, a

Jada was livid when she heard that their security guards were hospitalized and had someone call the cops as she headed downstairs to Fiona.As soon as she reached Fiona, she snapped, "Don't think I'm that ignorant! You may have been Pax Jaric's lover, but he was taking steps because he was really worried you'd force him into a shotgun marriage!"As such, the child definitely isn't his, and on top of that, the current owner is Lugh Frankton! Just admit it—who was the one who put you up to this?!"Fiona simply laughed. "Why do you care? Tell Lugh Frankton that he must pay me, or I'll keep harassing him!"Jada was furious. After all, everyone knew that Fiona did not have beef against Lugh and basically had no cause to create trouble.However, allowing Fiona to keep causing a scene in front of their office would affect both their reputation and their business too…"So, you're going to stay stubborn?" Jada growled.Fiona simply responded with action—she snapped her fingers, and her t

"Exactly. See ya!"Frank waved, lifting the geezer with a formless power. Then, he slammed him violently against the cavern wall, leaving nothing but a bloody puddle!Fiona was horrified. "Are you crazy?! Did you have to kill him?"Frank frowned. "Are you really snapping at me for saving your life?""Not really…"Fiona sighed. "He's a mean bitch, and he deserved it—he killed a lackey just because the lackey rubbed him the wrong way. Shouldn't you question him, though? If he had the balls to mess with you, that means someone had his back. You'd be in more trouble later on if you don't root them out."Frank ignored her and turned to leave.-Twenty minutes later, Jada was nodding at Frank in his office, realizing with a start after being briefed. "That does explain everything…that geezer was trying to steal the power of the Shagan spiritron vein, but knowing that he wouldn't win against you, he got himself a gang of thugs."He then coerced them into starting a protection racket,
