The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



Frank was worried that Stanley would catch on and interfere with his deal, after all.

Nheless, by the time they left the main road and arrived at the ridge where they had agreed to meet with the patrolman, the sun was setting and a bright blood-red.

That was when Kat frowned and looked around."Why is it so quiet here, Master Lawrence? I can almost feel like something's wrong."

"Quiet?"

Frank narrowed his eyes and looked around. He then realized that it really was as quiet as Kat had described, devoid of any sounds one would expect to hear up in the mountainsThis content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Kat tugged on his sleeve and looked around endlessly. "Mona told me that there's always birds and critters in the mountains, which she used to catch and cook... But I'm hearing nothing at all."

"Haha! Our princess is getting worried!"

One of the Mystic Sky Guild elites laughed. "It's going to be dark soon. The birds and the critters would be staying in their nests for dinner!"

"Hah! Don't you know that some animals only hunt at night? Like..." Kat trailed off before yelling out loud, "Cougars!"

The Mystic Sky Guild elite was startled, but he chuckled. "Oh, you just don't want to walk up the mountain, do you? I can carry you if you like." Even if Kat had no actual rank in Mystic Sky Guild, everyone doted on her, which was why the Mystic Sky Guild elite was half-joking and half-serious. "Hah! Who would want that?!" Kat snorted and led the way ahead.

Soon, they arrived at the designated meeting place, where they found a cellphone placed there ahead of time.

"Is that...?"

Kat picked it up and passed it to Frank, who frowned.

This was not what he expected the patrolman was clearly wary, though he soon realized that if he was not, then he would not have survived Stanley.

He tapped on it and found that it had a video saved on it.

"That's the evidence?" he murmured hesitantly—the patrolman was giving it to him, just like that? Content

"Just watch it already!" Kat snapped impatiently just then.

The Mystic Sky Guild elite beside her chuckled. "I guess even the cougar's gone now."

Frank shrugged and played the video, but it turned out not to be evidence.

Instead, it was a young man in a white suit and a white beret, his cheeks appearing sunken.

He must have prepared it ahead of time, as he was staring at the screen as he said quietly, "Frank Lawrence Did you think you'd survive after you laid a finger on my woman? I warned you, but you obviously weren't listening!" S

"Josh Dellon!"

Frank was initially puzzled since he

he heard the voice. Cont

It was Josh Dellon-Phoenix Ardron's fiance and the young commissioner of Hoxton!

"Shit!"

Frank sensed danger as soon as he realized Josh was involved.

No, it was a trap from the start, one designed to lure Frank in!

Fwip!

"Get down!"

Even before Frank could shout the warning, a bullet zipped past him.
