Semua Bab The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage: Bab 801 - Bab 810

"No, no, no—not a chance."Ned's heartfelt congratulations left Hux shocked, and he quickly flashed a smile awkwardly. "I would never have been allowed to succeed you if you refused. If you need anything, just say the word and consider it done."Hux was clearly a people's person, offering Frank assurance and then insisting his loyalty toward Ned in quick succession.Cid hurried over, eager to show his face. "Don't worry, Mr. Janko. My brother will definitely lead the Sunblazers to new heights."Ned smiled and nodded, and finally showed his true colors just then. "Would you happen to be free later, Vicky? I have a reservation at a hotel restaurant nearby. Care to join us? Let's get to know each other…"Pax, who was about to leave despondently, heard him.His eyes lit up right then, and he ran over to them with a fawning smile. "We're still friends even though I've passed the torch to Hux, right? And I'm leaving the country soon anyway… It'll be our last banquet together, so I can

"Oh, what are you saying, Mr. Lawrence?"Pax then smiled and chugged the glass as everyone watched, and he showed it to them like Frank did. "You really don't trust me, huh?""No way." Frank smiled in turn.With that, all suspicions around the room vaporized, and things turned lively around the table.Cid drank the most as the men clink glasses endlessly, even blurting nonsense that left everyone laughing.Ned's pretty boy valets even started dancing.Though Ned obviously tried to talk chatting up Frank repeatedly, Frank always had an excuse to give him the slip, leaving him exasperated.Then, just as the bottle of white wine was almost finished, Pax burped and rose to his feet, wobbling as he chuckled, "I'm gonna need the washroom.""Wait."Frank stood up as well, drunkenness showing on his face as he smiled. "You can go… after you take off your pants.""Hahaha…" Pax chuckled and looked around pointedly, mumbling, "Are you drunk, Mr. Lawrence? Taking off my pants before I g

"D-Dream…" Even before Hux could say 'dream on', he began to see stars and the world seemed to spin around him, as if he was drunk."Guess the poison's kicking in…" Pax laughed smugly as he watched everyone fall to their feet.That was when he turned toward Frank, and his breath left his lungs.Frank was standing there, firmly upright as if he was unaffected, even looking at Pax interestedly in turn."I-Impossible!" Pax exclaimed in panic. "I watched you drink that wine… How are you still standing?!"Frank's strength had certainly left him with an impression, as he soundly defeated the Four Kings.If Frank was not affected by the nervebreaker, everything he did today would be pointless!"The nervebreaker is a potent drug, but I am a master of medicine and have already seen through your tricks." Frank shrugged and pulled a silver needle out of his wrist.He threw the needle, which fell into a pot of seafood soup with an audible clang, abruptly turning its contents black."Hmm

"Dream on! You're the only one dying today!"Frank picked up the bag with one hand and flung it out of the window before appearing beside Pax in a flash soon after."Eh?" Pax stopped laughing as his mouth widened in shock, like a duck seized by the throat.Impossible! Such speed… was he even human?!"Get outta here!" Frank bellowed as he sent Pax flying with a kick."Oof!"The kick was so violent Pax shot through the air like a cannonball, crashing through the hotel windowpane and flying into the distance.Pax almost blacked out right then, but he withstood the pain to regain his senses and realized that he was mid-air after Frank kicked him out of the window."Hahaha!" He laughed maniacally as his mind quickly did the math. "Why, thank you, Vicky Lawrence—you just saved me!"After all, the hotel was about to be blown to kingdom come soon!Even if Pax would suffer some fractures or at worst, get paralyzed after being kicked from this high up, he would not be blown up at the

Ned sighed again, shaking his head.For Frank's part, he was willingly staying—it was more comfortable being in the same room when there were no pretty boys hovering around him. He would have just left otherwise.Ned then waved Hux away before leveling a serious look at Frank he never showed before."I have a favor to ask, Mr. Lawrence…" Frank frowned, expecting Hux to profess his love for him just then, but he nodded in exasperation after seeing the serious look on Ned's face. "Tell me.""It's alright, Mr. Lawrence," Ned paused for a moment as he said quietly, "I'm actually not gay, nor am I interested in you in the way you're thinking.""Huh?"Frank was taken aback by Ned's candidness.But if he was not gay, then…"You heard me right, Mr. Lawrence. I had to pretend for appearances' sake." Ned nodded, pausing with a bitter chuckle. "Things never go as one wishes when your family is important."Frank was silent as he remembered Vicky just then.Nodding, he sighed. "I can un
