The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Frank chuckled. "According to what you're saying, we're just using each other?"

Jouri grinned in turn. "You can think of it that way, since that is the case rationally speaking... so if you want to think of it sentimentally, we're friends."

Frank smiled but said nothing, while Jouri went to work-splitting the task of restoring Monte's original face to one group and delegating looking for the person named Robbie to another group.

According to Monte, Robbie was working for a research institution in Merka. While Monte also gave everyone details about Robbie's age, appearance, and other details, Jouri found no such person.

Furious, Jouri returned and demanded, "Are you taking us for a ride?!"

Monte sighed in exasperation. "I'd never dare, Ms. Yelin. Even if I found it in me to deceive you, I'd still wouldn't dare to deceive Mr. Frankton! You know that discretion is always the policy with people like them. He must've been using a pseudonym."

Jouri rolled her eyes, feeling worse than Monte just then. "Then we're restoring your face while squeezing you for more details on Robbie."

"Sure."

Monte worked tirelessly over the next three days with Jouri's people and finally had his face restored while also helping with a detailed restoration of what Robbie looked like.

Frank then took a copy to show Dawn. "Is this the Monte Petale you remember?"noveldrama

Dawn nodded repeatedly. "Yes, it's definitely him! But that face reminds me of something else..."

Surprised that there was more, Frank quickly pressed, "What is it?"

Dawn shook her head. "I can't be specific, but there's something fake about him... Like something isn't right."

Frank was left bemused.

Still, concerned that Dawn would take it too hard, he said, "Just get some rest. I'll ask someone else to look."

Dawn nodded. "Sure thing. I'll tell you right away when I remember more."

Frank nodded and left.

A couple days later, Jouri had a hit on Robbie.

Amusingly, not only was he in Shagan, but he was also working in Igor Leitner's research lab!

Delighted, Frank exclaimed, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find what you need, huh? That could also mean my regeneration ability has a lot to do with him!"

Jouri smiled. "Still, it's a tangled web of conspiracies, so watch out!" Frank smiled and nodded, before asking Jada to send for Sue Fisher. "What's up, handsome? Missed me?" Sue flirted with Frank as usual.

Frank was unaffected, as he was used to it. "Do you have time to visit Shanton with me?"

"For sure!" Sue exclaimed in delight. "Why Shanton, though?"

Frank had nothing to hide and told her the whole story.

"Clairvoyance?!" Sue gasped. "Amazing. I really didn't expect such a gift... Still, it seems that Pat Quaid's present is great.

Frank shook his head. "I've already sent Higo Soldi to keep an eye on Robbie. Just don't move recklessly and come along-we won't startle him this way."

Sue nodded.
