Semua Bab The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage: Bab 2381 - Bab 2390

Derek chuckled. "Word has it that Lugh Frankton is omnipotent. Who knows? He could have been a soothsayer who foresaw this and avoided your trap!"Walt was not about to give up and started to persuade Derek. "Just listen to me. You can't ever trust them—it's only by keeping control of the family to yourself that you can actually get rich!"Derek was not dumb enough to fall for that, however.Not only had Arcus proved his restraint as Frank's representative, but it was clear that they were not here to shed blood. If anything, Arcus even showed his respect for Derek, as he clearly considered Derek's standpoint on this issue.Moreover, people always said that Frank could be ruthless and merciless, so why should Derek corner himself against a reaper like him? Even if he wanted to go down swinging against Frank, would those working for him agree to that?He and Walt were both Costners and shared the same lineage, but they certainly differed in ambition—or at the very least, not every

Several helpers who were maintaining order over the crowd saw Frank just then.Presuming that he was a friend of the Costner family, one of them asked, "Sir, may I see your invitation?"Frank flexed his fist. "Right here!"The helpers traded glances before leaping at Frank, who stepped back and avoided them before punching them to the floor.Naturally, he held back and continued forward, strutting right into the Costners' residence.Still, the commotion caught the attention of patrolling security guards.They came running and quickly encircled Frank, with the leader demanding, "Who are you?!""Take a guess!"Frank quickly knocked them out with restraint too. Then, projecting his voice as if using a loudspeaker, so that everyone in the mansion could hear, he said, "Greetings. This is Lugh Frankton, and I'm here on a house call for one Derek Costner. Why isn't anyone coming out to receive me?"-In the drawing room within the mansion, Walt paled when he heard Frank's voice!

Even as Ocean was left feeling helpless, Derek suddenly sat up on his bed and snapped, "If you say so!"He was enfeebled due to his illness, but the color has returned to his cheeks, clearly a sign that he was healing!"T-That's impossible!" Walt cried, staring at Frank in disbelief.After all, he was the one who could have saved Derek, but how could he have done it so quickly?Walt was simply unaware that with the power of the spiritron vein, Frank could treat a variety of illnesses in no time at all, and without medicine at that.In fact, he was already doing it as soon as he entered Derek's room. Derek had even regained consciousness, but he was also eager to see how Frank would handle this conflict and pretended to stay asleep.And now that Walt had confessed to his crime directly, Derek had no reason to play dead—he had to put that geezer in his place!Shaking his head, he sighed, "My dear granduncle… I didn't think that you'd go so far as to try to kill me! Was there eve

Monte actually kept several chunks of gold bullions in his suitcase as well, but those were not stolen—it was only the photo!Frank noticed the gold too and chuckled. "I guess you can stop looking now. Someone stole your photo."Instead, he took Monte to Dawn and asked her, "Do you recognize this man?"Dawn frowned as she studied Monte from head to toe, nodding before shaking her head. "I don't think I do, but he feels familiar…""How about my voice?" Monte asked.Dawn smiled in wry amusement. "Again, it's both familiar but also not."Frank did not give up, however, and had Monte read the script he gave earlier. "I'm Monte Petale. I have a solution that could help Mr. Frankton overcome the curse of the spiritron vein and leave Shagan!"Dawn appeared to be jolted by those words, and her eyes rolled up as she passed out.Frank leapt up to catch her and carried Dawn to the couch while telling Monte to make her some tea.As Monte left, Frank said, "You can stop pretending now. He'

Frank chuckled. "According to what you're saying, we're just using each other?"Jouri grinned in turn. "You can think of it that way, since that is the case rationally speaking… so if you want to think of it sentimentally, we're friends."Frank smiled but said nothing, while Jouri went to work—splitting the task of restoring Monte's original face to one group and delegating looking for the person named Robbie to another group.According to Monte, Robbie was working for a research institution in Merka. While Monte also gave everyone details about Robbie's age, appearance, and other details, Jouri found no such person.Furious, Jouri returned and demanded, "Are you taking us for a ride?!"Monte sighed in exasperation. "I'd never dare, Ms. Yelin. Even if I found it in me to deceive you, I'd still wouldn't dare to deceive Mr. Frankton! You know that discretion is always the policy with people like them. He must've been using a pseudonym."Jouri rolled her eyes, feeling worse than Mon
