The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



Tatum snorted, but he quietly backed away and turned to leave.

And seeing that the show was over, the crowd around them dispersed.

Jada walked up to Frank, hanging her head. "I'm sorry, Mr. Frankton. I've caused you embarrassment."

Peerless Jackt had entrusted her with the task of protecting Frank, only for her to bungle it in less than a day.

Still, Frank shook his head. "It's fine. You've done very well, but the issue here is that the other guy was simply better. Not anyone could've handled him, and since you're concentrating your efforts in managing our company, it's only natural that you can't keep up."

Jada nodded. "Don't worry, sir. I'll definitely work hard on my training this won't happen again."

Frank smiled and nodded.

Meanwhile, at Hector's mansion, Jouri Yelin was sipping tea and smirking. "You have no idea who you messed with, do you? Your boy would've reached him by now, and you're screwed if he comes looking for you."

"Who are we talking about?" Hector asked in confusion.

"Who else? The one who sabotaged your little gimmick!"noveldrama

"What?!" Hector exclaimed.

He earned a little side income by sending out his subordinates to 'pacify' unruly elements, but he never asked his clients for details. He naturally did not expect that to come back to bite him and ended up messing with the one man he should not.

As such, he quickly asked Jouri, "In that case, I must ask you to speak with that gentleman on my behalf..."

"Speak with him? I can't get a word in, you know!" Jouri scoffed.

That was when Tatum entered, still holding his broken pole as he smirked at Hector. "The brat is demanding that you see him, or he'll make you pay!" "Got it. Now leave!" Hector snapped right then.

Tatum was left utterly bemused. "Did I hear that right, geezer? You're not getting upset even after he threatened you?"

Hector sighed. "The power balance in Shagan is complicated. There are people whom we must never challenge."

"What?" Tatum thought that only applied to Sally York's gang, while Frank and his ilk were just some brats who happened into money.

And Hector was saying that they could not be challenged either?!

"Look, geezer." Tatum snorted. "You can take that insult lying down, but I can't. Get the gang back together-we must kill Lugh Frankton."

"You heard me! Now get out of here!" Hector bellowed.

As Tatum had no choice but to leave, Hector turned to smile at Jouri again. "Ms. Yelin, would you mind making time to meet Mr. Frankton with me?"

།

"I'll pass." Jouri waved him off. "I'd rather not, or he'd think that we're on good terms. If that happens, I'd be

screwed when you meet your end."

Hector frowned. "What are you saying? Aren't we in the same boat here?"

Jouri smirked. "Don't give yourself too much credit. Someone like you really isn't on my level."

And with that, Jouri got up and left, while Hector was left seething as he watched.

'I'll bend you to my will one day!'

Frank and Jada returned to the

et

office at four in the evening, when Alda hurried to them. "How didit go? Are they giving in, or are they trying to mess with you instead?

Frank chuckled. "Forget it. Some tried to play pimp, and then there's Fiona Queen-get this, she's Pax Jaric's former flame, but she keeps trying to hook up with me anyway. It's honestly taxing."

Alda normal. "Makes sense. They're all trying to drag you down with them so that you'd be compliant!"
