Ch. 1001..1010

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1001-f"You just have to tell us if you need money… Now, see? Your father was attacked and can't even say who it was or demand an apology. You have to suffer because of your pride, messing with the unseemly sort."

Although Mel's words were sympathetic, her expression did not show it—if anything, there was a hint of contempt.

Frank could see that Nash and Kat's relatives were treating them strangely.

Pausing for a moment, he turned back to Matis and said quietly, "Listen to me. The man who attacked Nash is not someone you can mess with."

"Really?"

Matis snorted in turn, releasing Frank and walking to his mother, snorting in contempt, "Did you hear that, Mom? He said | can't mess with the man who attacked Uncle Nash."

Kat walked up to Frank just then, watching him anxiously as she asked, "Who did it, Master Lawrence? You could at least tell me, right?"

Frank shook his head. "Ignorance is bliss, and it's none of your business. | can handle it myself."

"Shut up!" Mel strode up, sneering at Frank. "How dare you say that Matis can't mess with them! Lettell you this—my son is the CEO of Jundo Showtown! What, you haven't heard of it? It's a subsidiary of the Soranos' estate and is worth billions. Even the rich and powerful have to show my son due respect, let alone sstreet thug!"

Mel was basically projecting an air of superiority as she spoke, while Matis had his chest puffed smugly too.

Mel then continued while leveling Frank a look of contempt. "Don't worry, Kat.

Matis will find justice for your dad—he'll apprehend the culprit and cripple him. We don't need sbrat who cout of nowhere! If we let him deal with it, your dad would have suffered for nothing."

"Mom, | don't think that's enough," Matis said, shaking his head and glaring coldly at Frank. "We don't even know him—he might be on the sside with the people who beat up Uncle Nash. I'll call my people over to restrain him for a thorough interrogation."

"That's my son for you. He really thinks of everything!" Mel grinned happily.

On the other hand, Frank pointed at the door, having had enough of their haughty attitude. "Like | said, I'll deal with this myself without your involvement. Leave now if you have no other business here."

"Why do we have to leave? What, you own this place or something?" Mel rolled her eyes. "Do | need your consent to visit my brother-in-law? Who do you think you are?!"

"Does your conscience hurt? Is that why you want us gone?" Matis strode towards Frank menacingly.

Mel snorted coolly. "Maybe he just wants to hook up with Kat!"

"Are you done?!" Frank frowned and growled. "I'm doing this for your own good.

If you're really so eager for revenge and want to know who attacked Nash, fine! It's Willy Sorano, so go after him if you can! If you can't, then get lost!"

"What?! Willy Sorano?!" Matis and Mel were both stunned

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1002-"What?! Willy Sorano?!" Matis and Mel were both stunned.

However, after an awkward silence, Mel cleared her throat and yelled, "At least use slogic if you want to lie! Why would Willy Sorano want to hurt Nash? He's a kind man-he'd never offend Mr. Sorano!" "Exactly!" Matis agreed. "I've seen Mr.

Sorano myself. It was a distant peek, but he's kind and humble. He'd never hurt anyone! You're just lying!" "Oh, that's my son for you! He's so amazing, actually meeting Willy Sorano in the flesh!" Mel' eyes lit up as she exclaimed in praise before turning toward Frank. "Nothing to say now, huh? Lying about a person my son met… How embarrassing! I'd be hiding if I were you! Why don't you look at yourself in your mirror? Who do you think you are, messing with one of the Four Families of Morhen?" Matis smirked, shaking his head. "There's always those who would fantasize and think too highly of themselves." However, while

Mel and Matis were busy mocking Frank, Kat finally turned toward him. "Is it true that Willy Sorano attacked my dad?" "Yeah," Frank replied, nodding solemnly at Kat while ignoring the two clowns. "I had Nash deliver smedicine in my stead, but he ran into Willy who beat him up." Frank was hesitant, but he refrained from telling Kat that Nash was actually tortured so that she would feel better.

Nash knew what he was thinking and closed his eyes and sighed.

"Oh, con! Don't you know how to stop?! Matis strode up, glowering at Frank, "You, deliver medicine to the Soranos? Who in Sorano Estate would need your medicine? Are you sfamous healer?!" "He really won't give up." Mel shook her head in disgust. "That's enough!" Kat had enough, springing to her feet and pointing at the door as she snapped at Matis and Mel, "Both of you have been mocking Master Lawrence while flexing your sense of superiority. If you're as amazing as you say, why don't you go after Willy Sorano?! The door is right there-aren't you the CFO Jundo of Showtown, Matis? Go to Sorano Estate and talk to Willy himself! If it really was his fault, then beat him into a cripple for Dad's sake!" "What…" Matis flushed, as Kat's words were sharp as ever.

Moreover, he was in no place to even talk to Willy! Talk All would be well if Willy was not at fault… but in case he was, would he really attack Willy for Nash's sake? executa lost cause-he was an in the innumerable albusinesses that the Soranos owned, a glorified lapdog. SW If they really upset Willy, he would be crushed in an instant!

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1003-Seeing the look on her son's face, Mel promptly leapt to his defense.

"Why are you snapping at us, Kat? We're not the ones who hurt your dad," she reasoned, not forgetting to deflect. "Shouldn't you be asking who did this to your father?"

"Exactly," Matis quickly chimed in. "We're doing this out of the goodness of our hearts for your father's sake. We're concerned."

"We don't need your help or concern!" Kat retorted bluntly.

"Don't worry," Frank assured her quietly, having no choice just then. "I went to Sorano Estate myself yesterday. Willy will cto

apologize personally today—he'd be dead if he doesn't."

"What?!"

Matis gaped but soon clapped Frank on the shoulder as he laughed.

"Oh, con… you really should know when to give up!" He sneered while leering at Kat sympathetically. "See, Kat? Your guest can really make shit up… going to Sorano Estate and threatening Willy Sorano to apologize? He'd die if he didn't? Pfft…"

He was laughing too hard to continue, while Mel was smirking as well. "Exactly.

Who do you think Willy Sorano is? Who are you in comparison? Oh, wait—your last nis Lawrence. Could you be from the Lawrence family, one of the Four Families of Morhen?

Their scion?"

"I'm not," Frank replied, impassive.

"Oh, but you could say that you are!" Matis laughed. "You went so far as to say Willy would apologize personally. It's really nothing if you kept dressing it up… Oh, and do you have ssort of important connection?

Why don't you tell us how you made it inside?

Con, we'd all like to hear what you're going to say!"

Seeing that everyone including Kat and Nash were watching him, Frank sighed and said quietly, "lI walked inside myself."

"Hahaha!!!" Matis roared with laughter and turned toward Kat and Nash. "You hear that? He walked inside! The homestead of one of the Four Families of Morhen, by snobody! Shit, you're just amazing…"

Matis started clapping sarcastically, clearly doubting Frank.

Even Kat actually thought Frank did not make sense—the Soranos were one of the Four Families of Morhen, and they had many powerful retainers under their command. While she knew that Frank was powerful, was he capable of storming Sorano Estate all on his own, even coercing Willy into apologizing?

It certainly sounded like a fantasy, and Frank had to say it solemnly as if he was not lying.

Sighing lengthily and forcing a smile, Kat said, "Master Lawrence, | know you're amazing… Don't worry. | won't hold my father's injury against you, and there's only so much that anyone can do. At least he's alive and recovering."

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1004-Sighing lengthily and forcing a smile, Kat said, "Master Lawrence, | know you're amazing… Don't worry. | won't hold my father's injury against you, and there's only so much that anyone can do. At least he's alive and recovering."

"I'm not lying," Frank said dryly with a frown, but he had no idea how to make her believe him.

"Oh, | believe you, bro." Matis chuckled, coming over to throw an arm around Frank's shoulder. "Don't worry—I'll call Mr. Sorano himself and ask him to cover soon, and then I'll get you a nice, cozy cell in a mental asylum. Maybe sshock therapy will

bring you back to reality."

"I can't do anything if you don't believe me." Frank sighed and shrugged.

He expects the Soranos to arrive and apologize soon, or at least send someone over.

That was why Frank did not want anyone else here—if the Sorano decided to go full scorched earth and sent their forces to attack them, Kat and the others would be a burden.

But he had now seen through Nash's relatives. They were not here to show their concern for Nash—they just wanted to flex their sense of superiority, even though it was worth nothing in Frank's perspective.

On the other hand, Mel could see that Nash had been quiet throughout, and she walked up to his bed with a smile. "Nash, why don't you entrust my sister's heirloom to me? As you can see for yourself, you're in no state to watch over anything. Don't worry, though. Matis is now an important man, and he'll get you justice! | promise you —we won't lay a finger on it. It's just for safekeeping, and we'll return it to Kat when she's older and stronger."

Frank was surprised for a moment but soon sneered subtly.

So, in the end, these relatives did not just want to show off—they were also after sheirloom Nash was keeping.

Kicking a man when he was down… talk about being despicable.

"What heirloom?" Kat turned to her father in surprise—she had never heard anything about that.

"Absolutely not." Nash shook his head, determined and clearly not even bothered to discuss it. "The heirloom is lo's keepsake, and | won't give it off to anyone. | know why you're here in the first place, but you can give up because I'll never give it to you."

Mel's face fell when she saw how determined Nash was, but she forced a smile as she made one last attempt. "Please, Nash. We bear no ill will, and my sister has been gone for so long. We have a right to get a cut of what she had, don't you think?"

All her fawning ended up thrown back in her face—even as Nash hacked violently, he bellowed, "Why don't you search your conscience, Mel Gunnar?! Is there anything else lo left that | haven't given you already?! Do you think you'd enjoy your current lifestyle without her fortune?! Would Matis have becwho he is today?! | asked for nothing in return, aside from fulfilling lo's last wish, but you're still obsessing over it after all these years! Do you even have a heart?!"

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1005-Nash's sudden bluntness was certainly a new side to him for Frank and Kat.

"Dad, what…?" Kat murmured.

"I know. I shouldn't have kept it from you," Nash said, lovingly patting Kat's head and sighing. "Your mom was once a martial elite. She was almost dead after being blindsided by svile people, but I chanced upon her and saved her.

"After that, she chose to bury her past, and we had you… but somehow, her old enemies found her. She entrusted you tobefore leaving, and they killed her.

That's why I've tried my best to keep my head down-it's all for your sake."

Sighing, he waved at Mel for her to leave. "You can go now. It's not like I won't give you lo's last heirloom-I just can't. I won't let you have it even if you tried to

steal it… No, even if you killed me." Mel's eyes widened and she wheezed, pacing around his bed and glaring at her as she snapped, "Just look at yourself, Nash! You're a loser without money, slaving yourself for others! You can't even stand up for yourself after getting beaten up. Why bother with anything?! Just givelo's heirloom! Once you do, we don't owe each other anything! If you refuse, I'll have to take it from you!" At her outburst, several men in black strode into the ward.

Kat sensed danger right then and snapped at Mel, "What do you think you're doing?!" "What I'm doing?!" Mel growled icily. "Just look at your dad. How did my sister find herself sloser like him?! It's so embarrassing… Hell, I'm embarrassed for her! And look how far you've fallen, letting in sstrange people to stay at your hfor money! The way I see it, there's no point letting you keep my sister's heirloom. Give it to us, and my son can use it to bribe his bosses-lo's money got him his CEO position, and what you have now might be worth more.

The Soranos might be so pleased that they'd even give him a couple more companies to manage!" "Quit wasting your twith them, Mom!" Matis strode up, his expression cold. "If they refuse us, we have no reason to play nice!" Turning to his bodyguards, he barked, "Go tie up that girl. Let's see if that geezer will give up now!" "Yes! Go on, do it!" Mel readily nodded.

Mel simply bellowed, "Don't bother mentioning her. She's dead!" Seeing that there was no turning back, Nash strained himself to turn to Frank with a pleading look. "m sorry Mr. Lawrence… But I have to ask for your help again." S "Yeah." Frank nodded.

Even as a bystander, he understood everything now. Nash's thewife was a martial artist who left a fortune for her family, and Frank also realized that she had d the seal on Kat's meridian nexus. cast After all, lo Gunnar did not want Kat to beca martial artist in her footsteps, despite Kat's born talent.

And then there was Mel, lo's sister.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1006-It was natural for martial elites like lo to accumulate considerable wealth. As such, her sister Mel had been lusting after it, demanding Nash to give her everything.

Nash would comply, giving up his wife's fortune willingly.

Even though Mel and her son Matis were living like kings, Nash was not bothered—all he cared about was Kat. However, his compromising eventually got Mel so greedy that she demanded every last bit.

"Get out, or I'm counting down from three," Frank growled, holding up three fingers as he moved to stand beside Kat.

"What, you think you can stop us?!" Matis bellowed. "Go on! Break his legs!" His bodyguards lunged at Frank even before he counted down, just as Kat sprang her feet as well.

"Master Lawrence! I can deal with these two. You take care of those three!" she cried, determined even as she wiped away her tears. "I've been giving my dad too much trouble, so I'm going to protect him with my own hands today!" And with a battlecry, she leapt toward the two towering bodyguards she had no chance of winning.

"See?" Frank smiled at Nash as he watched the other three bodyguards charge at him. "The kid will grow up-eventually." Nash appeared stunned for a moment but soon beamed.

"Eat this… Skyrush Jab!" Kat bellowed just then, her punch launching one of the bodyguards like a missile into a rack of medical equipment.

Both Matis and Mel looked on in shock, with Matis exclaiming, "What?! She's a martial artist?!" At the stime, the three et bodyguards who were charging at Frank earlier saw what happened to their colleague and promptly turned to run at Kat instead. S Frank, however, was suddenly standing between them and Kat like a ghost.

"Hey. It'syou're fighting." He grinned and sent one of them screaming and rolling out of the ward with a punch.

"What?!" Mel was grimacing as Frank and Kat stood together, assuming the smartial stance.

Frank was even calmly lecturing Kat. "You're using too much vigor for one punch. Half of it will do." "I-I was angry, y'know? I couldn't help it," Kat ruck her tongue out at hmischievously. "Well, at leasure to teachnow." S Frank sighed exasperatedly and demonstrated by fighting the two oncoming bodyguards, while Kat dealt with the last one.

Dull cracks resounded as knuckles met flesh, and soon, all three burly bodyguards were floored and unconscious.

"Phew… Phew…" Kat had to keep her head down to pant grow ore looking up at Matis and growling icily, "Get out of here, or I'm just getting started!" S Matis was left seething even as he stared at the bodyguards laying strewn around the floor, knowing that he had failed.

He was convinced that they could get through to Nash today and brought those bodyguards just for insurance.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1007-However, neither Mel nor Matis expected Kat to have beca martial artist, and one with formidable strength despite her tiny frame.

And the so-called Master Lawrence-sboastful, unseemly guest-was a martial artist too.

In fact, the five bodyguards were Matis' best men, but they did not even last a round! "J-Just you wait!" Matis snarled and turned to leave the ward.

Mel was reeling too, but she kept it to herself as she hurried after her son.

Catching up to him in the hallway, she asked in clear frustration, "Matis… What are we going to do? Are we just going to let this slide?!" "Of course not, Momjust calm down for a moment." Matis sneered darkly. "This was never a problem.

I'll call more people right now… they might be martial artists, but no matter how good they are, can they really handle a hundred men?! Mel grinned smugly in turn. "That's my son for you. Go on-make the call." "Yeah!" Matis nodded, whipped out his phone, and dialed a number.

Before the call was answered, however, he heard the commotion down the hallway.

Both he and mother turned to see a huge group of people, all fully dressed in white as they strode down the hallway.

"What? Aren't they…" Matis was taken aback, because he recognized his own boss among their ranks.

And upon a closer look, he realized he recognized all of them and clapped his mother on the shoulder excitedly. "Mom! They are all from the Sorano family-key members and retainers at that!" "What?! They're from the Sorano family?!" It was the first tMel had ever seen such a profound sight. They were a large group of men, with people-clearing the path up front, and bigwigs wearing shades or hats from the back. They varied in age, but all of them wore the signature white suits of the Sorano family, clearly important figures within.

And at the center of EmiSorano himself, the eldest son of Zico Sorano, the head of the Sorano family.

Though their presence might even be more stellar than sstar celebrities strolling down a street, Mel noticed something unusual at the very back.

et Several men were carrying a stretcher, on which lay a youth who vel.

was biting into a mouthguard in clea anguish. He kept grunting and groaning, clearly fighting it. S As the group approached, Matis had an idea and hurried to his boss with a fawning smile. "Lobo, Lobo? Hey, it's me, Matis!" "Matis?" Lobo turned in surprise toward Matis, frowning as he asked, "What are you doing here in Loggins Apothecary?" "Oh, nothing much… It's your birthday, isn't it? See, I already bought you a gift but I was robbed in broad daylight right here. And it's a martial artist…" Matis lied unabashedly, tically shaking his head and sighing.

"The five bodyguards I brought were all beaten up… I would've been hurt too, but I got away quickly." S Lobo frowned. "Really? Did you tell him who you are?"

Matis could barely hide his inward glee even as Frank's face cto mind.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1008-Since Frank kept boasting that he had walked into Sorano Estate unimpeded and forced Willy into apologizing, Matis did not mind letting him the chance to prove himself! Leveling a slightly fearful glance at Emiin the center of the group, Matis then told Lobo, "I did, but he didn't seem to care. He's really looking down on us." "What?!" Lobo was incensed right then but quickly restrained himself since he cfor another reason.

Clapping Matis on the shoulder, Lobo said, "Look, the big shots have something important to deal with here, but don't worry-I'll call in my boys once they're done." Matis was delighted with his assurance and thanked him profusely.

"Just hang in there," Lobo told him. "Once we're finished, I'll bring my men!"

"Alright! Thank you so much, Lobo!" Watching as the Sorano procession left,

Mel hurried to her son and asked tentatively, "So? What did Lobo say?"

"Hehe…" Matis smiled gleefully. "Don't worry-I told him everything, and he promised to help, but only after the Soranos are done with their business."

"Business…" Somehow, Mel frowned-she had a bad feeling since she remembered the man on the stretcher. "Did you ask Lobo why the Soranos chere in full force?" "Nope." Matis scratched his head in embarrassment. "But con, Mom-Lobo himself is at best a fringe character in the family, let alone me.

It's not in my place to ask…" Then, he added in a hushed tone, "Still, it has to be something important. Didn't you see that man at the eenter? That's EmiSorano himself! He's going to be the next head of the Sorano family! Mel was silent for a while but eventually asked with considerable difficulty, "D-Do you think what Frank Lawrence said might be true? That the Soranos have chere as he told them to?" Matisy "What?" was taken aback but soon laughed out loud. "Mom, are you getting senile? You're killinghere! Don't you know how important these people are, especially EmiSorano? And you think that they'd apologize to Nash?" Mel cleared her throat awkwardly in response-Matis was right, there was basically no chance of anything Frank said to be true.

However, she just had this bad feeling.

Frowning, she said, "Why don't we follow them and look? I just feel a little worried." "Sure." Matis caved in to her instance, "Lobo will be helping us out later anyway. Who knows, Lobo might do it earlier if he's passing by Nash's room. I can't wait to see the look on Frank's face when the real Soranos show up…" He laughed wildly at his own imagination. "It'd be hilarious

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1009-Just as Frank had expected, the key members of the Sorano family all entered Nash's ward in a tidy formation.

Thanks to Frank pulling sstrings, Jim Loggins had arranged the best ward for Nash. Even after over a dozen key members of the Sorano family and Willy's stretcher were brought in, it was not at all congested.

"Master Lawrence…?" Kat was left dumbstruck, watching as the huge group of people suddenly filed into her father's ward. "Stay calm," Frank assured her, perfectly used to such occasions.

Rising to his feet, he strode up to Emiand asked quietly, "So, have you made up your mind? Will it be war, or will Willy be kowtowing in apology?" "What?!" Kat

exclaimed and quickly clasped a hand over her own mouth.

These people really were the Soranos?! And the middle-aged man had such a different air to him…

Kat suddenly remembered that she saw him on the papers and TV, and that the man was a big deal, though she could not remember his name.

In fact, she did not recognize anyone else, aside from the man who lay on the stretcher, writhing.

It was Willy! "What?!" she exclaimed again, and suddenly remembered what Frank had said-that he would make the Soranos cover to apologize.

"Wait… He wasn't lying? It's all real?!" Kat felt the world spin around her and almost collapsed.

She was blunt and fearless, but even she could understand the might of the Four Families of Morhen and the authority the men before her embodied.

She already thought that was ridiculous for Frank to be consulted by the Jankos, and yet, here he was, making the Soranos cto apologize personally.

Who the hell was he?! Kat turned toward her father who lay on his sickbed and saw the equally blank on his face.

After all, Nash could see the sman who tortured him was lying on a stretcher, his face contorted in anguish.

Just then, one of the Sorano executives had enough of Frank's attitude. "Watch yourself, kid. We're the Soranos, and-" Emisuddenly raised his hand, stopping him.

"Haha." He chuckled genially. "We have indeed made a mistake, Mr. Lawrence."

Kat and Nash's eyes widened so much their eyeballs could drop off.

The Soranos were really yielding to Frank?! "What?!" Matis and Mel, who had been eavesdropping outside, turned pale as they traded glances.

Matis could hardly believe his eyes when they saw the Soranos file into Nash's ward, and now, he heard in no uncertain terms what Emihimself had said.

Content belongs to ŚwHe froze, thunderstruck, while his mother was grimacing so much she could cry. "Oh, no, no, no…" She immediately realized that everything Frank said was real.

That man had the might to make the Soranos apologize… and that meant he was far scarier than the Soranos, more than what they could imagine! Against such power, they were less than maggots! "Matis! What are we going to do?!

What can we do?!" Mel exclaimed in panic, femembering how much they had mocked and belittled Frank in order to pressure Nash.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1010-While Mel was petrified, Matis did not fare any better.He was leaning against the hallway walls, his eyes blank and his expression miserable."Mom... I think we're dead..." he murmured. "He can bend the Soranos to his will, and even EmiSorano is here to apologize... What do we even amount to..."Matis certainly felt like a clown-the blind type, as he remembered how much he tried to flex his sense of superiority over Frank! Just then, Emispoke from within Nash's ward, "Mr. Lawrence, my father toldto bring Willy here and apologize personally. I hope you can forgive my wretched son's atrocity, and we have prepared a suitable compensation-here, this check is worth 500 million dollars.Please accept it." Seeing that Emiwas sincere, Frank nodded at Kat. "Go on.Take it." "Okay." Kat was caught fearless but remained fearless thanks to sheer inexperience and took Emilio's check."Haha..." Emismiled as she took it. "Well, since you've accepted our compensation, I believe we have an understanding now?" "Oh, my sweet summer child." Frank sneered, folding his arms before his chest and turning pointedly toward Nash. "Get Willy Sorano over here to kowtow and apologize already." "Not a problem." Emiactually smiled and turned behind to speak quietly but sternly, "Bring him over." "Oof..." Willy groaned even as he was being carried over.His eyes were unfocused and his expression haggard. He was a completely different man after just one day.Thud.Emilio's eyes flickered for a moment with rage as he watched his son kneel despite his pain.However, he would never disobey his father, and he promptly withheld all his emotions as he stared at Willy impassively. "Go on. Kowtowin apology. Content belongs to Św"Ooof..." Biting on his mouth guard, Willy fought through the pain to kowtowet three times at Nash before leveling pleading look at Frank. S a He was willing to die right then-all he wanted was for Frank to spare him this misery."My son has apologized. Is there anything else you'd like to ask, Mr. Lawrence?"Emiasked. "Hmph. Well, there is sincerity," Frank said, not caring to add anything further. However, he found their attitude suspicious-compliance was just not the Soranos' style.
