The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



"However, it's not like you have to reject all their offers," Alda continued, adding pointedly, "There are certainly goodies you can consider accepting." Frank was not sure if he should laugh or cry. "Spare me. Having you is plenty enough for me."

Alda laughed. "No, I'm talking about Ms. Wal here."

Sylvie rolled her eyes.

While the trio were busy chatting, Jada received a call. She said after she hung up, "Mr. Frankton? There's someone named Hector Clet who's asking to see you. We know for a fact that he's the leader of a certain group.noveldrama

"He has a curious connection with Sally York. He wasn't involved in her experiments, but he was the one who sent that pole-wielder!"

Frank smirked. "Show him in!"

"Yes, sir!"

Jada relayed Frank's words, and a receptionist led Hector upstairs.

He was humble throughout, bowing respectfully at Frank as soon as he entered the room. "Long time no see, Mr. Frankton. I was surprised to hear that you've acquired the entire Jaric family estate... You really are special, but one expects nothing less of the man chosen by the Shagan spiritron vein!"

Just as he finished, Jada was in front of him, seizing him by the neck.

"Stop!" Frank promptly snapped.

Jada released Hector but smirked. "You'd be dead if my master didn't stop me."

Hector could see that they were doing the good-cop, bad-cop routine but did not expose them, given Frank's power.

"Yes, yes... Thank you for your mercy," he said, ingratiating himself instead. "I'll never forget this—"

"Let's cut to the chase." Frank cut him short. "Tell me, why did you come to see me?"

Hector smiled right then, dodging the question to mention the good old days. "Do you remember that box I gave you? Have you used it?"

He was hoping that Frank would spare him because of his gift, but Frank made it clear that he was not having it "Thank goodness I never used it, or it wouldn't be just mere

assassins who are after V

"But we're acquainted-"

"No, we're not," Frank corrected him. "I won't forgive Jouri Yelin for anyone's sake, let alone you."

As he spoke, he glanced at Alda.

Alda was close with Jouri and would not abandon her for the world.

That being said, she would not side with Jouri unconditionally.

And Frank's meaning was simple-he would not show Jouri mercy if she provoked him.

Alda certainly had no problem with that. If Jouri was at fault, she would not side with her when her beloved was forced to defend himself.

Nheless, Hector persisted. "Yes, yes, yes... Everyone knows that you're ruthless, but-"

"No buts," Frank corrected him again. "You want me to let this slide? Hand over your boy."

Hector frowned right then. "It's not like I'm refusing, but surely you'd know that you can't control everything when you have so many under your command..."

Frank chuckled. "Really? Then how about I check your bank accounts, including your foreign accounts?"

Hector was naturally aware that

Frank might not necessarily know all his secrets, but this was an aspect where Sally York thrived. Despite her youth modest roots, and general insignificance, her intelligencework was immaculate

Once she spilled the beans to Frank, it would really be game over for Hector!

Moreover, he had heard that Pax Jaric had given Frank more than just his riches, which was why Hector did not dare to deny anything.

Instead, he nodded, "You're right, Mr.

Frankton. I have made a mistake but nobody's perfect. I hope you can find some kindness in your heart to give me a chance!"

Frank smirked. "I've already provided you with the solution. Take your time to think about it."

Hector was left wiping the sweat over his brow. "Can't we talk about this?"
