Ch. 1031..1040
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1031-Naturally, the drowsy man who alighted was none other than Frank himself.
Helen was no fool-everything about this was suspicious, as not only did Luna call her in the middle of the night, but she was also telling Helen to hurry back to Laneville.
If Mark was really looking for her, he would have asked Gavin to make contact.
While Helen was afraid to ask, she thought about it and decided to bring Frank along.
He just happened to be sleepy and was lying down for a nap on the backseat, which in turn kept him out of sight.
However, while Clark, Gable, and their goons were taken aback as Frank alighted, Clark soon recovered.
Leering at Frank gleefully, he chuckled. "Oh, Helen… So that's your lowlife exhusband, huh?" "Highwaymen… blocking the road?" Frank was jolted to his senses by Clark's mocking and pointed at himself blankly. "Lowlife ex-husband?
You mean me?" "Hahaha… Look around you. Is there anyone else here?" Clark, Gable, and their goons were all laughing at Frank's delayed reaction.
Nonetheless, Frank calmly met Clark's leer and replied solemnly, "First of all, there are plenty of lowlifes around here, and I'm not the worst of them." "Also…"
Frank then grinned and pulled Helen toward himself by her waist. "I'm not her ex-husband." "Oh, you…" Helen blushed even as she felt the warmth of his hand on her waist, suddenly shy like a maiden despite being the ice queen CEO of Lane Holdings.
The goons were certainly left dumbstruck.
"Shit, Clark! That's amazing… We have to get a taste!" "Exactly. You can't blus for this!" Clark did not respond to the goons' sleazy catcalls, because he was busy being sleazy too.
Even if Helen was his niece, she was just beautiful beyond words! Hell, there were not many women across Draconia who could match her beauty, let alone Riverton! "Really? You intend to dishonor my woman?" Frank strode up, shielding Helen behind let 2. poverimself as he smiled at the around him. "Did you ask for permission first?" belongs to english"Fuck off. Who needs your permission?" "Exactly. Who do you think you are?" "Let's see if you can still talk tough when we cut off your arm!" The jeers around Frank left him exasperated.
He paused for a moment before ward Clark and Gable, wet clearly the leas 2014 asked, "So, who are you two?" "They're my uncles, Frank," Helen quickly said. "They're the ones who burnt down the farm." "Really?" Frank rubbed his chin, chuckling.
This was perfect-if they were in Laneville, he would not have an excuse to deal with these two. However, they had to present themselves gift-wrapped like this…
talk about unfortunate timing.
Moreover, he was not particularly busy now that he was done refining the herbal bath extract, and he was now studying Clark and Gable with a look amusement.
"So, you're the who burnt down the farm?" "Yes, we did." Gable laughed darkly.
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1032-Secrecy was unnecessary at this point, and Gable was even laughing darkly.
"Yes, we burnt down your shitty farm resort. I don't mind telling you that since you're both dying here!" "I see." Frank turned to glance at Helen's car before smiling at her. "The car camcorder is on, right? Is what they said recorded?"
"Yeah." Helen nodded, hiding a smile behind her palm.
She was surprised Frank was cunning enough to think of that.
Moreover, she was not afraid at all anyway-if the goons and thugs of Morhen could not even reach him, Clark and Gable's friends certainly would not.
On the other hand, Gable did a double take in surprise after hearing that his words were recorded.
However, he soon regained his confidence and snapped coolly, "So what if you recorded us? We'd just have to kill you and set fire to your car. We won't leave any evidence, so no one would know a thing!" "I see… You've really thought this through!" Frank smacked himself on the forehead tically but soon narrowed his eyes and sneered. "But doesn't that apply to you too?" "Hahaha!!!" Clark and Gable laughed at Frank's question, pointing at him as they mocked him. "You're not very bright, are you?! Look around! We have you surrounded, or are you saying you can handle twenty of us by yourself? There's fearlessness, and there's ignorance! Maybe quit watching those stupid movies, kid!" Frank was not particularly upset by their ridicule, even nonchalantly turning to find Luna on her knees nearby.
He raised a brow in surprise. "Helen, don't tell me…" "Yeah, used like a tool."
Helen glanced at Luna too, and shook her head in disdain.
"Oh, makes sense." Frank chuckled, even as Luna gave him a pleading look.
Then, he strode forward and looked al with a smile. "So, are y at once, or would you fer coming doing it one on one?" w "Hmph. He really isn't that bright." Clark snorted at Frank's nonchalant reaction and beckoned at his goons. "Kill bim!
Don't hold back… Then, you can have Helen!" Content belongs to Św"Alright!"
That was exactly what the goons were waiting for. They were all sneering savagely as they charged at Frank, machetes raised.
"All at once it is, then." Frank simply ne nodded thoughtfully, just as his expression turned solemn. "I would have det y'all live on any other occasion…
But you're all dying now!" Then, turning to Helen behind him, he said, "Get into the car and close your eyes." "Oh, okay." Helen hurried into the car tamely and wound up the car window.
Naturally, she did not close her eyes and was instead staring at her man worriedly.
Even if she knew those goons would not be able to lay a finger on Frank, she still could not help but worry.
Her heart would break if he got hurt, and Vicky would not let her hear the end of it.
Still, she soon realized that she was worrying too much.
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1033-Frank stood his ground, waiting.
As the first goon swung his machete, he suddenly moved as fast as lightning when the tip of the blade was inches from his nose. Helen could not see what he did, but the goon was suddenly screaming and on his knees, his machete already in Frank's hand.
Even before the goon could catch his breath, he screamed even as he watched Frank raise his foot. "N-No!!!" Nonetheless, Frank sent him flying with a kick, leaving his chest sunken and no longer able to scream.
He was clearly dead! Clang! At the stime, Frank had nonchalantly raised the machete behind himself, parrying the machete of another goon trying to
blindside him.
He pivoted and punched the goon in the head so hard that he smashed it in.
While he did, he did not forget to kick another goon in the shin, breaking his leg!
Crack! "Argh!" The goon dropped his weapon and tried to flee despite the limp, but he suddenly heard the sound of metal piercing flash.
He paused, looked down to find the tip of a machete sticking out of his chest, and dropped to the ground in endless regret. "H-He's a martial artist…" "What?!"
The sight of the goons being mercilessly sliced through like vegetables left Clark and Gable stunned.
They did not expect Frank to be that good-their goon friends had ruled the streets for years and were each as bloodthirsty as they were ruthless. So how were they being slaughtered so easily?! As their legs began to shake, Gable was the first to cto his son, ge have to get out of here….. He's a martial artist!
We'd never win!" Even as he said that, he had pushed the petrified Clark away while he ran alone toward his car.
"You're running?" Frank, however, could see the fleeing Gable and promptly picked up a machete, which he threw at the man.
"Argh!" dropped to the floor and turned find get his t the machete had sent leg clean off from the kneet Content W belongs to englishS Even as he bled and howled in pain, Frank ignored him and turned to Clark.
Still, he suddenly felt lucky that he did not try to run like his brother, or his legs would be gone too.
Amid the panic, he saw that Luna was beside him…
Meanwhile, Frank continued to slaughter the goons for a minute.
After that, he threw away the machete he was holding.
The thirtyish goons were all dead-even the ones who saw that things had gone really bad and tried to run.
On the other hand, Frank straightened his shirt, which somehow did not have a single splatter of blood despite the corpses around him.
Then, he walked up to Clark with a smile. "There. Leave no evidence… Am I doing it right?
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1034-Clark was trembling in fear even as he looked at Frank's smile. The man could kill without flinching, and he looked no different from the reaper.
While Clark had himself been involved in murder and other felony, it had never been one-sided like it was with Frank.
It certainly left him traumatized…
"S-Stay where you are!" he bellowed, whipping out a dagger out of nowhere as he grabbed Luna and pressed the dagger against her throat. "Or I'll kill her!"
Even as Clark's blade broke skin and drew blood, Frank was shrugging at his meek threat. "Did you really think I'd care if she lives?" Luna turned pale as she trembled endlessly, her speech unintelligible even as she begged Frank for
help. "P-Please… Save me…" "Hey now." Frank snorted, shaking his head and continuing toward Clark. "You really shouldn't askfor anything, Luna-you know better than anyone what you've done toand Helen. Also, you're the one who set this trap and willingly fell into it. Can't blanyone for that, don't you think?!" "DDidn't you hear me?!" Clark kept yelling in panic even as he backed away. "If you take another step, I will-" "What? Kill her?" Frank smiled nonchalantly and kept walking toward Clark, even goading him. "Go on, do it! You'd spareso much effort if you do it. After I killed you, I'd just have to tell your family that you killed her. I'd even tell them I did my best, but… Hehe." "Fuck you, Frank Lawrence!"
Luna finally managed a complete sentence-not to beg for help, but to curse him.
Even as Frank's gaze darkened at Luna's outburst, Clark could see that he was not affecting Frank at all.
"Fuck! You're all crazy!" he exclaimed and threw Luna at Frank as he turned to run.
"Now you're running? Don't you think it's too late?" Frank chuckled.
He sidestepped Luna, allowing her to drop painfully on the ground.
Even Luna teared up, Frank was already in front of Clark.
"What…" Clark gaped when he saw Frank apparate before him.
He swung his dagger at Frank, but Frank simply broke his arm with a punch.
"Argh!" Even as Clark screamed, Frank kicked him in the left kneecap, breaking it with a loud crunch.
Dropping to a crouch in front of the ne man, he feaned closed at Clark's face in amusement. "What, weren't you all so gung ho about messing with my girl? Go on, do it!" S Clark was screaming as if it S pain and quickly shook . "N-No…
Please! We won't go…" do it again… Just let m "Now that's a good boy." Frank smiled and nodded and left to fetch Gable.
Though he had his leg sliced off, Gable had I'managed to crawl bay no vabi car even opening the door!
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1035-"No… No!!!" Even as Gable started to climb into his car, he had thought he could escape, but only for Frank to drag him back.
He struggled violently even as his hope to escape beca pipe dream, but it was naturally pointless.
Frank even broke one of his arms-the sthing he did with Clark, rendering him immobile.
"Now, letthink… what should I do with you two?" Frank rubbed his chin, watching as both Gable and Clark lay limply on the ground before turning to glance at Helen in her car. Naturally, he was plenty considerate toward her since he would
not allow mooks like these two to live otherwise. However, they were Helen's uncles and Mark's sons-executing both on the spot was really too much.
"Please, Mr. Lawrence! Just let us go… It's all Gable's idea!" Clark exclaimed through tears and shudders, brotherhood be damned as he sold out his brother right then and there. "He planned the arson on the farm too… he said that everything in the family will be ours if we get the farm and then kill our father!
We will kill anyone who gets in our way too… That's what he said, word for word!" Frank's expression changed ever so slightly in disgust-these brothers were really pricks, even planning to kill their own father! He also finally understood why Mark was furious and cared so little about them back when Mark handed over the farm to Frank and Helen.
There was certainly a reason.
"Bullshit!" Gable exploded right then.
"It was you who cbegging because you wasted every dthe old man gave you!
Why would even think of this if you didn't keep buggingevery day?!" Frank raised a brow.
Both of them were really pricks of equal measure.
Suddenly, Gable turned toward Frank and played his trump card "Mr. Lawrence, you'd best think before you kill me… My brother is Zambri's deputy commissioner! He will make you pay!" "Yeah! That's exactly right!" Clark nodded repeatedly. "Our boys are all subordinates of the deputy commissioner. No one will cover for you if you kill us. He will have your head!" Frank was certainly disgusted that the two pricks would threaten him even after all that had happened. However, he still decided to spare their lives after thinking about it.
After all, they now had proof that Clark and Gable burnt down the farm resort and attempted to murder Helen.
And since Luna was involved in this conspiracy too, one would expect Helen to take leadership of the family without anyone questioning her. It would all be smooth sailing from here.
On the other hand, if Frank took the easier option and killed Clark and Gable, the entire incident would get stuck in limbo.
For one, Luna would accuse Frank of killing Mark's sons-even if Clark and Gable were scum, it still might cause friction between Mark and Frank.
Moreover, Fleur Lang would inevitably make a big fuss about it. In that sense, Frank would choose to spare them just to avoid the hassle.
"In that case, you're coming back to Laneville with us," he said. "Where you will confess all your crimes. Do that, and I will let you live-how about that?" Both Clark and Gable were all too eager to seize the chance for survival and nodded repeatedly despite their pain.
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1036-"Fine. In that case…" Frank turned to Helen as they planned how they would get Clark and Gable back to Laneville.
That was when Luna suddenly shrieked, "Die!!!" "Gurk-!" Frank turned, and was left gaping in shock.
Luna had picked up a machete from god-knows-where and had swung it at Clark's neck while Frank's back was turned. Even Clark could not react in time.
Blood welled up in his mouth as he stared in disbelief at the wheezing Luna, even as she hacked off three quarters of his neck. His eyes widened and twitched endlessly, but he was clearly going to die.
"What are you doing?!" Frank bellowed-he had just decided to take the brothers back to Laneville, only for Luna to murder Clark! Luna was still wheezing, but soon dropped on her rump as she laughed maniacally.
"Hahaha! Serves you right! Serves you right for fucking lying to me!" Luna kept cursing at Clark even as he lay dead, his eyes wide opened.
While Frank remained silent, Gable panicked at his brother's death and crawled toward Frank despite his pain. "Please, Mr. Lawrence! Save me!" "Luna Lane"
Frank bellowed, et frowning even as he moved to stand in front of Gable since he could d let Lona kill Gable too. "Do you know what you're doing?!" S "Of course! Luna sprang to her feet and bellowed back at Frank. "They deserved it!
They lied to me! And Yo you dare get in my way when didn't savejust now!"
Frank glowered right then. "I alone get to decide their fate. And you'd be dead if not for me, understand?!" Luna simply laughed. "If not for you?! That cheek of yours! You told Uncle Clark to kill me!" "What an idiot…" Frank was speechless.
Luna would know better… that was, if she had a brain.
Still, he was not bothered to stoop to her level. He struck her in the nape with the side of his palm, knocking her out.
He put Gable in his own car while shoving Luna into the trunk and drove toward Laneville.
As Helen followed in her own car, Frank called Trevor Zurich over the phone.
"Send someone over for a cleanup. I just dealt with strash." "Trash, Mr.
Lawrence?" Trevor did a double take and frowned. "You don't mean…
"Yeah." Frank remained impassive. "They burnt down the farm. You can take care of their bodies." "Hahaha!" Trevor laughed in delight on the other end. "I knew you wouldn't disappoint me, sir! .ne really returned the favor.
worry, my men will be right there!"
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1037-Trevor had put in tand effort into building the farm resort, contributing greatly for the launch.
He even poured in resources from his company Trevor International, bringing in over a dozen subcontractor teams to work simultaneously.
Fortunately, Clark and Gable did not manage to burn down the villas they built, or Trevor would be coming after them himself. Either way, he was breathing a sigh of catharsis when Frank told him that those responsible were dealt with.
Frank said nothing after hanging up and continued driving toward Laneville.
As soon as he arrived, he found Mark, Gavin, and other key members of the Lane family waiting at the gates.
Even Gavin's sons, Jon and Roth, were there with Fleur and Jade Zahn.
Frank could understand why they were there-Helen had called them before they arrived.
Among them, Jade was fidgeting restlessly. What would she do if her dear daughter got hurt? As Frank stopped the car in front of the Lanes, he said nothing as he dragged Gable out of the car, and then Luna out of the car trunk.
"Frank Lawrence!" Jade went crazy at the sight, leaping up to push him out of the way and glaring at him. "How could you do this to my daughter?!" She then felt the bump on Luna's head and the streak of blood left on her neck by Gable's dagger, and she howled, You did this, didn't you? kill your You hear me?! Killif you want, and kill Gavin too! Hell, why stop there?! You can kill everyone here!"
"Buzz off!" Frank snapped, pushing her to the floor just as it dawned on him where Luna had inherited her stupidity from. Walking up to Mark, he said, "Mr.
Lane, this whole thing-" "It's alright, Mr. Lawrence." Mark sighed heavily. "Helen told us everything on the phone." It was only then that Frank realized he was leaning into his cane, his usual liveliness gone as he seemed to have aged two decades.
He shook his head miserably even as he looked down at Gable, who was on his knees begging. "I thought those two would show sentiment even if they behaved like animals. But now, it seems…" "Calm down, Dad," Gavin reasoned.
"Yeah, what if you ruin your health?" Roth added.
"It's alright. I know myself better than the rest of you." Mark sighed and beckoned at Helen.
As she arrived, she sighed again. "I'm so sorry, Helen. It's my fault. How can I face Henry if those two…" He was ready to kneel, but Helen Stopped him, even forcingst smile. "Please, Granduncle. I'm fine, see? I'm standing right here "Hah!
You all really bought her lies, huh?!" Jade suddenly snapped as she leapt off the ground, glaring at Frank and Helen.
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1038-Even as everyone turned to Jade, she kept ranting, "Does Helen have proof that Luna called her and lured her to a trap?! Are you all going to believe her just because she said it?! For all we know, Frank Lawrence can really hold himself in a fight!" But even as she ranted, Gable was scowling on his knees.
He certainly had no idea-when he asked Jade about Frank, all Jade had to say about him was 'lowlife ex-husband'.
It was why when he was actually up against Frank, he treated Frank with insignificance.
Unbeknownst to him, 'lowlife ex-husband' was just Jade's opinion of Frank, and he was not a lowlife.
His spite flared even as Jade continued ranting, looking around at everyone.
"What are Frank and Helen to us?! Nobodies-that's what they are! Even if we accept Helen back into our family, she isn't really family, so how trustworthy can their words be?! Considering that she's drooling over becoming the next head of the Lane family, we should really be thinking more about this!" That was when Gavin quietly strode up to her, scowling as he slapped Jade twice across the face.
"Do you know what you're saying?!" he bellowed, pointing at her in the face.
"Are you seriously accusing Helen and Mr. Lawrence of framing Gable and Luna, and then coercing them into going with their story?!" "Are you crazy?! You hitbecause of snobodies?!" Jade exploded and leapt up to tussle against Gavin.
That was when Fleur strode forward. "I think Jade speaks reason here." At the stime, she shot a glare of contempt at Frank and Helen.
She never could stand those two and was not about to let up a chance to bring them down a peg! Still, she was inwardly bemoaning Clark and Gable's incompetence-how could they fail to get rid of those two? However, Helen cforward just then as well. "So does that mean no one believes me?" Jade was at once uncomfortable when she saw Helen's confidence She promptly ran to the et unconscious Lunaet her as hard as she could until she woke up. "Mom…"
Luna was sobbing as soon as she saw her mother.
"It's alright, Mommy's here." Jade held her firmly in her arms.
As she did, Luna's eyes widened as Jade whispered something into her ear.
Then, pulling Luna to stand in front of everyone, Jade shouted loudly "Go on, Luna! Tell everyone the truth. Did you call Helen and try to kill her with Uncle Clark and Uncle Gable?" "It's…" As everyone turned to Luna, Luna was glancing at Helen and an impassive Frank, her eyes flashing viciously as she snapped, "It's a lie! The whole thing was staged by Helen and Frank. They lured us to that place, and then threatened us with violence!" Once she was finished, she buried her head in Jade's arms, afraid to look Frank in the eye.
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1039-What?!" "T-That's not what Helen said…" "Well, which one is the truth?!" "I didn't think that Helen was so devious…" Frank, however, was unaffected by the Lanes' restlessness.
He stared at Luna calmly even as she cringed inside Jade's arms, his tone flat.
"Having a conscience is what makes a person human, Luna. I don't know if you understand the situation, but I've saved your life today… There won't be a next tsince you'd prefer to repay my favor with such spite." Luna certainly did not dare look him in the eye and basically erased what Frank did from her memory as she braced herself and snapped, "Save your breath! I never needed your help!" At the stime, Jade pointed at Frank and bellowed, "Take a good look, everyone! The insolence of this bastard to show up in our house and threaten my daughter in everyone! Where's the justice here?!" Fleur also promptly
pressed the advantage. "I'm sure everyone can see who's telling the truth here now? I know you can fight, Frank, and our family can't do anything about that, but we have our pride. Kill us if you can!" Jon Lane leapt into the fray as well, goading, "Yeah! Kill us all if you're that amazing!" His father Gavin shot him a glare right then, silencing him.
"Haha… Hahaha…" Frank simply laughed in contempt despite their slander.
Jade frowned and snapped, "Why are you laughing? What's so funny?" "You're all such idiots… I guess being ingrates and stupid is in your blood." Frank snorted, shaking his head.
"What are you talking about?!" Jade kept snapping but already felt the butterflies in her stomach.
On the other hand, Frank did not want to waste his breath with her and beckoned, "Helen?" "Yeah." Helen went over to him, passing her phone.
et Luna's eyes widened in realization stiffening as she watched Helen's phone a Frock Helen's phone and play one of the videos. Content belongs. to englishSW At the stime, Frank was sneering, "Do you understand why Gable never played along with your stupid lies at all? He's the smart one among you. Go on, take a ele look that's footage from Helen's car dashcam. Everything that happened is shown there As Gavin and Mark took Helen's phone, Luna and Jade both sensed danger and made a grab for it.
Gavin shoved them away, incensed. "Buzz off!" He knew that Frank would not stoop to lying, which meant Jade was deliberately slandering Frank and Helen.
And even as Mark watched the video, he started scowling everyone could see Gable's savage smile from the video as he gloated. "Yes, we burnt down your shitty farm resort. I don't mind telling you that since you're both dying here!" At that point, Mark was so overwhelmed that he almost passed out.
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1040-Mark had kept that farm afloat for most of his life and was strongly attached to the scenic spot.
Otherwise, he would have used the land to develop a more profitable industrial zone.
As such, to see his own son admit that he had burnt down that farm left Mark's tears welling up in his eyes.
Seeing that the old man was overwhelmed, Gavin was ready to take away the phone, but Mark insisted on watching the entire video.
Everyone had no choice but to keep watching with Mark at that.
Still, it just so happened that the dashcam was not facing the right way when Frank slaughtered Clark and Gable's goons. However, it did capture the scene where Clark threatened to kill Luna with a dagger.
"S-Stay where you are, or I'll kill her!" Clark's savage glare was clear as day in the video.
Luna had turned deathly pale as Clark held her and kept begging Frank, "PPlease… Save me…" Everyone turned toward Luna right then, leaving her devastated.
Seeing herself begging repeatedly and fearfully in the video, and remembering the slander she and her mother had just told, she certainly realized that she was the most despicable person in the world.
Burying her face in her palms, she said nothing as she ran into the house.
As she did, everyone was staring daggers at her or shaking their heads in disdain.
Meanwhile, the video continued to play-Frank managed to save Luna by feigning disinterest, after which he crippled Clark and Gable but spared their lives.
While everyone thought that was it, Luna appeared on screen again and hacked Clark's neck with a machete, killing him. Everyone gasped at the scene and turned toward Jade.
"Uh…" Jade could no longer argue when such decisive evidence was presented.
And remembering what Frank had said earlier, she certainly felt like a clown! All her slander was now proven to be a malicious distortion of facts! It was not just her either… Her own daughter Luna had murdered her Uncle Clark in cold blood.
One could even argue Clark deserved it, but Luna still did not get to do it.
Add the fact that Luna ultimately turned around and accused Frank and Helen?
Their crimes were beyond doubt! That was when Fleur suddenly yelled at the bodyguards, "Go! Restrain Luna and Jade!" After all, she had tried to help them slander Frank and Helen earlier, elbet she had to denounce them as e19 quickly as she could. On the other hand, Mark breathed a long sigh after watching the entire video.
Somehow he had cooled off and stood up with Gavin's help as he calmly instructed the bodyguards, "Once you have those two, punish them per family rules. That's ninety lashes and fifty slaps for Luna." "N-No!" Jade cried hysterically, begging. P-Please forgive Luna! She's just a child… I-I put her up to this! Just let her go! Even an adult man wouldn't last ninety lashes… Luna will die!"
