The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



Sally continued, "It's a trap set for you-it's only right that it would deny you even the hope of escaping. To put it in simpler terms: this so-called trial is a farce. Even if you overcome it, you'd still have no choice but to suck it up if they simply decide to pull the rug from underneath you."

Frank certainly knew that Pax would not let him off easy.

But so what? With his cultivation, he feared no one, let alone Pax.

As Sally left, Frank finally noticed what else was in the room.

Two ladies wearing tights were both lying in puddles of their own blood, their weapons still in hand.

They must have been people working for Pax whom Sally had run into and dispatched.

"She's ruthless." Alda sighed, as she had to be impressed despite being a fellow woman.

She knew Sally's roots, and it was surprising that someone so young and born to an ordinary family would rise to such breathtaking, if ominous, heights.

Still, knowing how ominous Sally could be, Alda was prepared for such violence.

Tugging on Frank's sleeve, she whispered, "She's right, we have to be careful. I'm not doubting you, but it always pays to be careful, don't you agree?"

She made herself very clear so that Frank would not misunderstand, and he patted her on her shoulder. "Don't worry, I will."

They left and continued ahead when the lights turned off.

Unable to see even her own fingers in the darkness, Alda could not help calling out worriedly, "Are you there, Mr. Frankton?" She knew for a fact that he was right beside her and asked just to have ease of mind.

However, he did not respond, and she thought she could sense him leaving just then!

"What's wrong, Mr. Frankton?!" she exclaimed, afraid but fearing more for Frank's safety.

Smack!

"Ahh!" Alda yelped and trembled when she felt someone clapping his hand on her.

"It's fine. I'm here just messing with you." Frank was smiling at her, turning on his phone's flashlight just then.

Alda snorted and was ready to snap

at him, but she eventually decided that he did nothing wrong, aside from being a little

Instead of snapping at him, she wrapped herself firmly around him. "Oh, I was so scared. I thought for a moment..."

"What? That someone would push you down?"

Frank chuckled. "Weren't you just saying that you had faith in me? And now you're saying something else entirely?"

Alda pouted. "I have faith, but I'm a

woman, and women tend to get more emotional. And one should always prepare for the worst... what if the worst happens to you?" noveldrama

Frank quickly assured her. "No more teasing, I promise. Come on, let's keep going now."

Alda nodded tamely and released him, but as they walked ahead, Frank suddenly stopped again.

"You still don't trust me?" Alda pouted again.

Frank rolled his eyes and pretended to walk away, though he spanked her when he passed her.

Alda flushed and grumbled softly, "D-Don't do that ever again!"

Frank smiled but said nothing, whereas the goons in the control room were left gritting their teeth as they watched.

What the hell?! Did that brat save the

world or something in a past life? Even the haughty Alda loved him so much that she would let him do
