Semua Bab The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage: Bab 911 - Bab 920

Marit's tears were gushing audibly, and she turned toward a dumbfounded Zac in the distance, pouting. "Darling, you don't believe him, do you? Why would I be an enemy of the Turnbulls?""Hmm…?" Frank was caught off guard—this was not part of the plan.Marit turned back toward him just then, her lips parting slightly to speak in a wavelength that only Frank could hear. "That's for hooking up with that woman."While Frank was left speechless, Zac bellowed, "Frank Lawrence! Release my wife, you bastard!"He lunged at Frank like an angry tiger, but Frank easily sidestepped him and tripped him."Are you crazy?" Frank snorted in disdain as Zac landed on the floor. "Your wife's already dead. That's just an empty house, controlled by insects.""I don't believe you!" Zac bellowed even as he scrambled to his feet and jumped at Frank again."Darling, help!" Marit cried miserably, playing along to his tune.However, her eyes flashed with contempt ever so subtly."Let her go!" Zac contin

Frank had no idea how Ciaran made it out, or how she improved so drastically in such a short time, but it must have something to do with the technique she manipulated those insects with.Aside from that, Ciaran dropped a bombshell on Frank that it was none other than the Lionhearts of Morhen who hired her to attack the Turnbulls.Coupled with the fact that the Lionhearts' own heir would soon marry Vicky, one had to start considering the facts.Once the Turnbulls were wiped out 'by coincidence' right after that arranged marriage, every Turnbull estate would undoubtedly fall into the Lionhearts' hands.It was all the Lionhearts' plans, but the Turnbulls ignorantly insist on marrying Vicky off, playing right into the Lionhearts' hands.Once Frank was done keeping Zac alive, he took a look around the banquet hall.It was a scene of complete pandemonium. There was no stopping the screams and curses—even Glen had his face left a little charred since some of Marit's acidic blood struc

Seeing Frank say nothing, Glen continued, "My family is even less of a match against the South Sea Crow. That's why we need the Lionhearts' help, or we'd suffer even more losses. I hope you can understand…""That's not necessary," Frank said naturally. "The South Sea Crow and I had an agreement. She won't come after you anymore.""What?!"The room was left in shock at Frank's words."Haha…" The Turnbull executive who mocked Frank earlier was silent for a moment but soon turned toward Glen. "I told you, Mr. Turnbull—he's with the South Sea Crow. See? He admitted as much to it now. Why else is he fine when we're all infected?""Yeah. He was close to the South Sea Crow when she charged at Zac as well. Why wasn't he hit?""Don't bother. He's definitely her ally!"The restless discussion around him left Frank scowling, even regretting asking his fellow apprentice to stay her hand from these people."The South Sea Crow isn't some monster. She's human—she can see reason!" He strode fo

However, the Turnbulls missed one thing—Frank's patience had its limits."Listen." He sneered, shaking his head when Glen offered him Vicky as a reward. "Since you and your family are so sure I was helping the South Sea Crow, I shouldn't have helped any of you."Pointing at Glen, he growled coolly, "Everyone here has been harassing me and mocking me ever since I came, and to be frank, I've had enough. However, I've endured it repeatedly for Vicky's sake."Snorting coolly, he continued, "This will be the last time. I'll find evidence that the Lionhearts are scheming against you. But in return, none of you get to negotiate—you will free Vicky unconditionally, or I'll turn against you. And you can trust me when I say that my methods are more brutal than the South Sea Crow's."Glen sighed lengthily at Frank's fearsome glare, knowing that Frank was really angry just then."If that's the last time, so be it," he muttered under his breath before looking up and saying, "You have my word.

"Don't think I don't know," Aesop growled coldly as he turned toward Frank, who was standing among the Turnbulls. "It's that brat who's been messing about and delaying the wedding, hasn't he? You Turnbulls can't even discipline your children, allowing Ms. Turnbull to mess around with some unruly brat! For shame!""That's right!"Titus strode up when he heard Glen and Aesop arguing. "Vicky is my fiancee, and there's no arguing about that. Not only did you Turnbulls fail to discipline her, but you allowed some stranger like him to show up on my wedding day too. This is a clear challenge to my family's honor! Should we take this as a declaration of war?!""A declaration of war?!"Everyone was silent at Titus' words, with every Turnbull gulping in the distance.They could not imagine war against the Lionhearts at all—it would be a massacre if they went all out.And the Lionhearts had sent over a hundred bodyguards, each of them bearing the brand of Volsung Sect, meaning that they wer
