The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



Hector had spent time and resources grooming those men. If he surrendered them, then not only would he lose his position, but all the enemies he messed with would tear him into pieces.

Nheless, Jada gestured at the door. "It's time to go, Mr. Clet."

Hector sighed, muttering under his breath, "What a shame."

As he quietly left, Jada, who was close enough to hear him, hurried to Frank's side. "Mr. Frankton, we have to do something about that geezer!"

"I heard him too." Frank nodded. "But he has connections, and we can't do anything to him without solid evidence... thought we can do something about his subordinates!

"Also, I remember Peerless Jackt mentioning the Cerulean Summit Legion having their own intelligencework? So investigate everything about that geezer-his identity, background, and known associates."

"Understood." Jada nodded and turned to leave.

Half an hour later, Frank was ready to leave work and head to Golden Lily with Sylvie and Alda when he ran headlong into Jouri Yelin at the door! She promptly teased Alda. "Long time no see, Ms. Ingram. You look so lively now-did something good happen?"

"I wouldn't dare compare to you, what with that awkward gait of yours," Alda retorted. "I guess you had another long night that left your legs sore!" These days, Alda dared to tease Frank, so it went without saying she would dare do the same to her bestie.

And for the ladies, their conversation could get as bad as a man's browser history!

Still, Jouri merely rolled her eyes at Alda before walking up to Frank. "Anyway, I came for you, handsome! Orders from above-losing Hector is acceptable following his constant violations of fraternity rules. Do whatever you like with him!"

Frank nodded but said nothing-could anyone really take Jouri's words at face value when she offered no specifics?noveldrama

As with anything, keeping calm and carrying on was always the best idea.

"It seems like you don't trust me, huh?" Jouri shrugged. "He'd rather not come to meet you, but I guess given the state of things, he'd just have to take a risk. Just get ready to receive him."

Frank smirked in disdain but remained silent as he left with Alda and Sylvie.

Jouri was left standing there, watching as they left with a faint smile.

Truly, the man chosen by the Shagan spiritron vein was simply different.

But that was fine-they were not enemies just yet, and Jouri actually still had use for him. She therefore

Meanwhile, countless luxury cars were lining the streets outside Golden Lily, with the parking lot full and the interior congested as well.

It was the first time Meg Quill had faced such a situation, and she was left busy like a bee.

Still, she was conversing with some guests at the lobby when she heard a familiar voice. "That's a lot of people."

Ignoring her guests right then, she

ran up to Frank. "You actually came back, Mr. Frankton? And here thought that you'd forgotten all about me!"

The guests heard her and promptly flocked toward Frank, introducing themselves and groveling at him.

"So you're the famous Lugh Frankton! We heard so much about you!"

That more less explained the crowd-they came after hearing Frank's accomplishments as patrons to his other businesses.
