The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



Frank completely ignored Jouri as she alighted, and he drove off.

Nheless, Jouri was smiling as she watched Frank drive into the distance. "You really know how to hide, Frank Lawrence... It took me considerable trouble just to find you!"

It was obvious she knew who Frank was... or indeed, had set up an elaborate plan for him as soon as they met.

The point is simple-she wanted to get in his good graces, what with his vast connections!

And for that, she had to show sincerity, pretending not to know him while sending a hottie like Meg straight to his bed.

Add a big contract with the Ingrams on top of that, Jouri was really convinced that Frank would soon be her friend, and all her efforts would soon be repaid.

Meanwhile, Frank returned to the hilltop villa and found Sally York seated leisurely on the couch.

Nearby, Sadie and Ida were watching the woman who was younger than them.noveldrama

Even if others would have no idea, they were well aware that Sally was the reason they had superpowers. Nheless, Sally completely ignored them and smiled as she greeted Frank. "Welcome back, handsome."

Frank gestured for Sadie and Ida to leave while sitting down beside Sally. "What is it this time?"

Sally smiled and nodded. "Can't put anything past you, huh? Well, it's different this time I'm sure you know about The Plough? Anyway, I just want to inform you that Farek Jost passed your message as you asked.

"Those folks are endlessly proud and unaware of how precious their lives actually are. They had me relay word to you that they're throwing down the gauntlet to you."

Frank growled coolly, "When and where?"

"In an hour. I'll take you there."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."

Seeing that Frank was ready to leave, Sally quickly caught him. "Aren't you curious as to why they're confident about challenging you? You shouldn't accept it the way I see it, or we'd lose big time when the trap falls."

Frank was not sure if he should laugh or cry.

A trap?

No one could ever ensnare him, not even Sally.

At the same time, Sally continued, "Well, seeing that we're more or less friends, I could offer you a tidbit-the venue is none other than the Skywym Guild headquarters.

Y'know, the guild whose chief you smacked around a couple days ago..."

"Oh." Frank shrugged nonchalantly.

"Oh'?!" Sally was not sure if she should laugh or cry. "Are you heading into the lion's den on your own?!"

Frank was going to nod but shook his head as he remembered. "Well, not on my own. I'm taking Sadie and Ida along it's a good opportunity to train them."

That only left Sally further

exasperated. "Look, handsome—I'll

admit that you're not weak, but you have to know that not everyone is as dumb as my underlings were, using cold weapons against you. It's going to be serious if they throw in some C4."

Frank remained nonchalant and snorted grumpily. "Are you coming or not?"

"Y-Yes, of course."

Knowing that she was not talking Frank out of it, Sally gave up and got up. "Just don't get me killed."
