Ch. 1091..1100

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1091-"It really is a coincidence." Frank sighed earnestly.

"Let's pick up where we left off, Mr. Lawrence. What would you like as your reward?" Gene asked.

He was certainly not worried that Frank would try to con him-he was worried about some unusual requests.

It was known that specialists could be eccentric, asking for things that money could not buy.

And if it was just money, Gene had plenty, or he would not have Draconia's top songstress as a partner.

"Alright, then I'll be frank." Frank smiled. "Earlier today, my wife and I made a bid for several land lots in South Zamri, but someone beat us to it."

"Hmm?" Gene murmured, and quickly realized that Frank wanted those land lots and chuckled, "Oh, it's no big deal. I'll ask Zorn Woss right now and see if he left the bid yet. If he is, I'll tell him to handle the paperwork you can have all the land lots, Mr. Lawrence."

"What?!" Rory Thames snapped right then, folding her arms before her chest and frowning. "We spent a fortune buying those! And he hasn't even cured you.

What if he runs away before he actually does it? What are we going to do then?!"

"Shut up. Did anyone ask you?" Gene growled icily, shooting Rory a cool glare and clearly not minding putting her in her place.

Rory snorted in frustration and stormed off.

Gene then turned back to Frank and smiled faintly, "It's alright, Mr. Lawrence don't worry about her. A couple tracts of land really is nothing. I'll have Zorn arrange the transfer when he returns."

He did not hesitate to agree to Frank's request, since a couple of plots of land really was nothing with his wealth.

Moreover, Frank had Abel Loggins' seal of approval, which was why Gene had even less reason to say no.

Money really was not worth much in his eyes.

To his surprise, Frank was smiling as he watched Rory storm off, shaking his head. "No, I think MS Thames is being reasonable. It's unruly for a doctor to take payment before he cures his patient. Content He then paused before adding, "Moreover, I never had any intention to take those land lots for free. Lanecorp will be paying for them."

Gene did a double take, and soon laughed loudly, "Impressive! You have thoroughly amazed me with your l integrity Man Nawrence! It's my honor to have met a friend like you today rest assured that you't have those land lots whether you succeed in curing me!"

"Hehe," Frank chuckled. "You really don't have to go that far, ME O M Lawrenge. Blease hold out your hand-let's see what ails you."

"Alright. I'm counting on you now,"

Gene said as he extended his wrist.

His skin was paveled im patches of pürple and red, and Frank felta coolness as he touched it

He frowned.

"What's wrong, Mr. Lawrence? Can you tell what it is?" Gene panicked a little, seeing the hesitation on Frank's face.

He had come to Zamri under Abel's suggestion, to consult the healer Abel recommended.

If even Frank failed to diagnose him, he would really be helpless and could only prepare his own funeral already.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1092-"Well…"

Frank murmured awkwardly, shooting a glance at Rory as she stood in the distance.

"Hmm…?"

Gene quickly caught his meaning and waved Rory off for her to leave.

A hint of annoyance showed on Rory's face for an instant, and she was staring thoughtfully at Frank even as she headed into her bedroom.

With her gone, Gene asked, "Alright, you can speak freely now, Mr. Lawrence.

Does my illness have something to do with Rory?"

Frank nodded slightly. "Actually, I need you to stay calm and listen to what I have to say to you now, Mr. Pearce."

"Tell me." Gene's mood dampened even as he saw the scowl on Frank's face.

"Someone is growing Chestbursters inside you… Actually, there are three of them, each half a meter long. Once they mature, they will tear a hole out of your ribcage."

Gene's face fell even though Frank had warned him to stay calm.

He started panicking even though he almost could not, and he seemed to see the worms squirming around even as glanced at his abdomen.

Still, he was already taking the news better than most, and the fault was not entirely on him-no one could have stayed calm if they knew they had something like them inside them.

"A-Are you sure?!" He grabbed Frank's arm, his eyes widened in panic. "I've consulted so many doctors, even traditional healers… but none of them could tell! But you did so right away… Are you sure about this, Mr. Lawrence?!"

"Calm down, Mr. Pearce." Frank patted his shoulder to calm him down but nodded in confidence. "This is curable, but…"

"But, what?!" Gene cried, sweating buckets.

The fact that Frank was still keeping him on tenterhooks was really killing him!

Frank sighed. "Even if I remove the Chestbursters, there's a chance that more would be implanted into you. Moreover, it must be fed with a specific type of medicine, orût won't mature."

"Are you saying that someone's been trying to kill me?" Gene murmured, catching on.

"Yes," Frank nodded in confirmation, sighing. "So, all I can say is that loan cure you this one time, but not every time.

All you can do is be wary toward the people around you for your sake."

"Rory… Thames…" Gene growled the name through his teeth.

Aside from Zorn Woss, Rory was the only person who could stay around him without arousing his suspicion.

And as Zorn was Gene's childhood friend who had no motive to hurt him, Rory was the bnly possibility.

"But…" Gene was soon hesitant-Rory was a delicate maiden who did not know about medicine.

How did she poison him, and without him or Zorn noticing?

"Could it be Zorn?" he murmured to himself.

Frank chuckled. "Why don't you consider this, Mr. Pearce? Yoy have no heirs, so whoever benefits most from your death would be the most.

motivated."

"Benefits most…"

Gene did not even need to guess thanks to Frank's hint, though his face tumped paler than before when he realized who the culprit was.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1093-Gene had his hunches before, but all his doubts were erased thanks to Frank's hint as he realized who the culprit was.

He had no heirs, so he wrote a will early on, stating that both Zorn and Rory would jointly inherit his estate.

"Rory Thames… Zorn Woss…" Gene's face contorted in rage even as he clenched his fist.

He already had the feeling that Zorn and Rory were more than 'close', and if anything, they should be hostile against each other over his estate if he died.

Weirdly however, they were even more friendly than before, showing no signs of discord.

Gene thought that they were trying to keep things peaceful for his sake before his death, but now the whole thing was simply suspicious.

He certainly did not want to admit it, but he was now dead sure that those two were working together to kill him for his money!

Frank could see various expressions alternating over Gene's face, and he could see that the man had realized who the culprit was.

He certainly did not need to say anything else he had warned Gene so that he would not presume it was Frank's fault if he suffered a relapse. "Alright, Mr.

Pearce," he said. "Let's put that thought aside for the moment I'll get rid of the worms inside you now. Health comes first, no?" Gene nodded in exasperation.

He was ready to call his men to restrain Rory and Zorn, but Frank brought him to his senses.

Reaching out feebly, he grasped Frank's hands gratefully and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lawrence. This is one debt that can't be repaid."

Frank shook his head and took out a jet-black pill from his pocket, speaking quietly, "This is a bugkiller that I refined when I had free time. It's risky, but you can take it so that I can tell which species this Chestburster is."

"Okay." Gene took the pill without hesitation.

Within minutes, he could feel a sharp agony from his stomach, as if he was going to be torn in half!

"M-Mr. Lawrence! My stomach… hurts…" He gasped through the pain.

Frank's fingers were feeling Gene's wrist artery, and he quickly identified the Chestburster from Gene's pulse.

"Ringeater, huh?" Frank's eyes sharply, and whipped out a couple of needles.

"You're quite the bother, but you've run out of luck running into me!"

He infused his pure vigor into the needles and ran them into Gene's belly, forcing the Ringeaters to squirm and struggle.

Their movement caused bulges to appear over Gene's stomach, and it was a scene out of a horror movie!

Zorn happened to return to the presidential suite just then, a smug look on his face apparent.

That was when he saw Frank with

Gene, but before he could ask anything, Rory pulled him over to a corner. "Over here! That brat is called Frank bawrence, and he's treating Gene right now… I'm worried he'll find out."

"Really?" Zorn remained calm in contrast to Rory's anxiety, even m shaking his head and chuckling. "Rest assured I spent a fortune buying those worms from Morhen's invisible The content is on En.novelxo.com!

black market. They are ne

killers no one would find them, let alone remove them. They'll eventually burst through their victin's chest!!

When Gene dies, people would be busy speculating what taboo he'd broken, and we'd fuel those.

speculations. No one would ever suspect us."

"When the time comes…"

Zorn then pulled Rory towards himself, grinning. "No one would ever come between the two of us."

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1094-Zorn then pulled Rory toward himself, grinning. "No one would ever come between the two of us." "But… I'm worried."

Rory frowned, glancing at the direction where Frank and Gene were. "Noel York worships Frank Lawrence. He's not much of a looker, but I've been to his farm resort in Riverton. It's really as amazing, and—" "That's enough!"

Zorn's expression became stern, but he assured her, "Since you hate him that much, I'll just have to come up with a subtle plan to get rid of him. I'm Birthright rank, y'know-dealing with some brat couldn't be easier!"

Rory beamed right then. "Alright, you promised!"

"Hehe, of course." Zorn smiled. "As long as it makes you happy, I'd brave hell and high water-"

"Ahem!" Frank suddenly cleared his throat resoundingly.

"Huh?!" Zorn promptly turned in Frank's direction, at once wary.

However, there was a wall between them, and Frank should be busy treating Gene, so Zorn was convinced that Frank could not hear him whispering with Rory.

In reality, Frank had heard everything-trying to hide it from him was impractical, especially since Frank could eavesdrop on Will Zeller in the washroom from a hundred meters away.

And now, they were all in the same presidential suite-they might as well have told Frank their dirty schemes directly.

He was certainly scowling when he heard that Zorn and Rory were ready to kill him, but he had no time for those pigs.

He was the final phase of Gene's treatment, having forced the three Ringeaters into Gene's lower.

abdomen with his pure vigor.

"Hup!"

Then, raising his fingers as if claws, he struck the squirming bulges that were the ring eaters.

Gene could feel as if something had screamed inside him just then!

"Phew…" Frank then sighed in relief.

Finding the precise location of the Ringeaters and killing them certainly took effort.

Then, he lifted Gene's foot and struck "highe acupoints repeatedly, stimulating the meridians connected to his stomach.

Soon, Gene's face was contorting-but not from pain.

He could feel like he was going to take the dump of his lifetime!

"The worms are killed." Frank smiled at Gene just then, standingtup? You justhavelto clear them out

Gene was certainly relieved. Nodding gratetully at trank, he made a dash toward the toilet, clutching his stomach.

vel toe

тала now feel free to use the toilet yourself."

And he moved at such speed one would almost forget he was just lying on an ahhohair, half-dead!

Rory just happened to see that and froze, "H-He's cured…?!"

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1095-Gene worked hard for over a dozen minutes and suddenly yelled, "Argh!!!"

Rory and Zorn hurried toward the washroom, but Frank raised a hand, stopping them.

He walked up and knocked on the door with a smile. "How did it go, Mr.

Pearce?"

"Mr. Lawrence, it's amazing! Y-You're…"

Gene had obviously seen what just came out of him and was left flabbergasted.

"Haha!" Frank chuckled. "I shall excuse myself now that you're fine, Mr.

Pearce… but may I ask when I could expect payment?"

"Tomorrow-wait, argh!!! No!!!! Mr. Lawrence, help… it's the pain again! It's worse!

Argh!!!"

Frank had presumed that Gene was fine and was ready to leave, only for the man to start screaming again!

"What?!" He exclaimed in shock-did he miss something?

Without another word, he rushed into the washroom and found Gene leaning on the wall.

Gene still appeared weak, but he did not appear to be in pain like his screams suggested.

In fact, he had a finger on his lips-a gesture for Frank to stay silent.

Frank understood Gene's plan right then, but one could expect nothing less from the richest man of the east coast.

The man was certainly sharp and was already planning to keep the two culprits outside in the dark of his recovery.

After all, they might start panicking and resort to desperate measures.

Gene then coughed in pain again, before bellowin in rage, "The pill doesn't work at all! Did you think some laxative would do the trick?! A quack doctor, that's what you are!"

It was certainly a weird feeling, unable to argue when being labeled a quack doctor.

Still, Frank shook his head at Gene's pointed stare and shouted out loud, "I did my best, but I guess you've run out of luck seeing that my pill doesn't work too.

You'll be dead tomorrow."

"What?!" Gene bellowed. "Get out of here!"

"Hmph. Farewell!" Frank threw up his hands, confirming that the transfer was tomorrow with a look before kicking the door open and stormed out.

Naturally, Zorn and Rory were eavesdropping, and both traded a smile of relief to see Frank being chased out so miserably.

Clearly, Gene was not cured at all-he only stood up thanks to Frank's medicine, but it was just a brief moment of respite.

Feeling confident right then, Rory scoffed at Frank. "I always knew you were a quack doctor. Honestly, what did Noel York ever see in you that she'd worship you so much? It's such a pity-turns out she's abad judge of character."

The two-faced Zorn also cheerfully chimed in, brougehe… You don't have to feel bad, Mr. Lawrence. We've

brought Gene to every doctor and healer in Draconia, burthey cant do a thing, Your failure isn't

"Heh. Well, now that I've failed, he'll be dead by tomorraw. Youccan start preparing his funeral now."

Frank nodded at Zorn and left 'impatiently'.

Zorn watched as Frank left, his lips curling into a sneer, "So, he's done for tomorrow? Fate is really on my side…' '"

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1096-Zorn watched as Frank left, his lips curling into a sneer. "So, he's done for tomorrow? Fate is really on my side…" "Rory… Zorn…"

Gene called out feebly from the toilet just then.

Zorn and Rory traded a gleeful smile just then but quickly composed themselves to look worried as usual.

After Frank took a cab back to Lanecorp, he found Cindy throwing a major tantrum in one of the hallways.

Picking up a vase, she threw it at Will and screamed, "You promised you'd help Helen get those land lots! Well, look what you've done now, not getting even

one after I bragged so much! Do you know how that makes me feel?! I can't even bear to face Helen!"

Her outburst was naturally drawing a crowd, even as Will dodge the oncoming vase.

He had come to talk to Frank and explain himself, only to run into the crazy bitch who snapped at him before he could say a word.

He really would have slapped her twice if he did not have to keep pretending to be her boyfriend!

"What's happening here?" Frank arrived just then, feeling a headache when he saw the mess in the hallway, a seething Cindy and a hugely relieved Will.

Cindy snapped right then, "Oh, there you are! Didn't you promise that we'd get the land lots too? So where is it? You men are all the same, all talk and no action!" The stereotypical comment left the men present frowning right then-that was way out of line!

Will hurried to Frank just then. "Mr. Lawrence I-"

"It's fine. It's not your fault." Frank shrugged. "I have the full picture now. If anything, it's our fault for having the bad luck of coming up against Gene Pearce."

Around them, the Lanecorp staff was left gaping when they heard Frank mention Gene.

Will was even gasping audibly. "Gene Pearce… As in the richest man on the east coast?"

"The very same." Frank smiled exasperatedly and assured him, "He's buying land on a blank check. It's only natural that we would lose, and there's no shame in it. S Most of the Lanecorp staff had been despondent for losing the bid, though they now felt resignation instead since Frank told them someone like Gene was involved.

"I see…"

That was when a rowdy laughter resounded from one of the offices down the hallway.

Frank strode up and opened the door to find that it was Kallum, who had been confined there for days.

behind his chest, pointing at Frank and the others. "Where's Helen Lane?

Well, I don't see herX eithef way, i see thatlyou ve all failed! Three tand lots?

You can't even get one! Are you all really

He was laughing even as he sat

working for garbage like Helen Lane? You'd better plan your way out already! Lanecorp is as good as dead! Hahaha…"

Kallum's laughter really stung, but no one present could argue against that.

That was when Helen finally stepped out of her office, striding taward Frank's side.

Leveling a glare at Kallum, she said coolly, "You heard the news yourself.

Gene Pearce, the richest man on the east coast, took part in the bid."

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1097-Helen continued, "And Gene is buying all those land lots on a blank check. Is Lanecorp supposed to spend every last capital to outbid the richest man of the east coast? You might as well demand that we go bankrupt directly!"

Every staff member of Lanecorp was nodding repeatedly. Helen was right-Gene had nothing but money, and it was suicidal to compete against him in that front.

"Hah! I don't care!"

Nonetheless, Kallum rolled his eyes and laughed he could not care less about anything and was even more radical after his son's death. "That still meant you failed to achieve the second task I asked, no?" Helen frowned. "It's true, but-"

"No buts." Kallum sneered. "All I care about is results. You failed, and that's it.

Hell, I don't mind telling you how much money I've siphoned off this company now… It's twelve billion dollars!" The Lanecorp staff around them gasped right then.

They were aware that Kallum had been embezzling company money… But twelve billion was still a dizzying number!

Helen remained clearly defiant, even clenching her knuckles as she said quietly, "There's no guarantees when it comes to corporate projects, and this is one such occasion. Just tell me the third task."

Sheng and turned toward F t of hope chapter there!"Hehe…" Frank chuckled and nodded.

"Gene may have bought those land lots, but persuaded him to transfer the deed to us."

"No," Kallum sneered, shaking his head. "It doesn't work that way, Helen Lane.

I've only told you about the twelve billion just to see you squirm. If you want that money back, be a good girl and go to Gene Pearce, ask nicely and see if he's willing to hand them over to you. Hell, I'd suggest batting your pretty eyelashes at him, and he just might say yes…"

"Fuck off!" Helen snapped, cursing for once as she slammed Kallum's door shut.

Even so, Kallum's laughter could still be heard.

Either way, Helen was really furious.

It was twelve billion dollars they were talking about!

If she could get that money back, it would really shut Fleur Lang up.

After all, the Southstream Lanes had been yapping for a while over the past week.

While Helen's position as the head of the Lane family was beyond reproach, Fleur and her ilk would still ridicule her and be exceedingly vocal about their disappointment if she failed to produce results. In fact, that woman might even fully pin the blame on Helen.

That had already left Helen stressed, and it only exacerbated Cindy had to continue her maniacal tantrums, cursing Will and making a huge scene.

Still, she could understand why-Cindy was only allowed to stay because of Will's promise to deliver the land lots to Lanecorp.

Now that Will had failed, she had zero cause to stay and was therefore hysterical.

That was when Helen remembered

said you had an idea, and..

W⋅•I.PO You

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1098-"Pfft…"

Cindy was the first to break the silence, sneering at Frank as she asked sarcastically, "Are you alright, Frank? Do you need to get your brain checked?

The richest man on the east coast would just hand over tracts of land to a nobody like you, just because you asked… What, are you his son, grandson, or perhaps… lover?"

Frank did not bother responding to her insults. Instead, he calmly turned toward Helen and said, "Don't worry. The issue is settled-we just have to go to Drenam Limited tomorrow with the transfer agreement.' "Really…?" Helen was caught off guard by the abrupt news and unsure how she should react.

After all, she was despairing… only to feel hope now.

It was certainly a rollercoaster of emotions, and she was certainly overwhelmed, pressing a hand over her chest.

"Of course." Frank grinned. "When have I ever lied to you?"

"Frank, y-you're so… so…" Helen could not find the words to describe how she felt. Beaming in delight right then, she threw herself into Frank's arms without a care!

Frank patted her on the back, chuckling. "Just call me darling if you're feeling grateful." "Darling! Darling! Darling!!!" Helen exclaimed on top of her lungs right then, euphoric.

The Lanecorp staff were left trading glances around them.

Though it had just been a few days since Helen started working for them, they had the impression that she was a successful girlboss-an ice queen.

But it turned out she could actually react like this, and to a man at that…

All at once, most of the men could feel their hearts breaking and shot Frank's glare of jealousy.

Naturally, jealousy soon turned into helplessness-the man could claim tracts of land from Gene Pear richest man in the east swet Could they do the same? Certainly not.

the On the other hand, the girls were as worshipful toward Frank as they were troubled.

That was when Cindy swore under her breath, "Hah! You're really one to talk. Let's see what you'll say when fuck up tomorrow!" Content Naturally, Frank heard that, and he had enough of Cindy since she had been causing trouble for a while now.

And seeing that Helen still had a reputation to maintain, he turned to Will instead, whispering into his ear, "Don't you think your girlfriend is out of "

Will did a double take, but he soon understood Frank's meaning.

He strode up to Cindy, grabbing her by the collar and bellowed, corazy"

bitch! 'm done with you!"

Smack!

Smack!

Did her darling just slap her?!

Will slapped her twice and left her floored, while she dropped on her bpttom, dumbfounded.

"We're done now, Cindy Zonda. Do whatever you like I'm not cleaning up after you" wil bellowed and strode after you'" WiN bellowed and strode off.

Cindy was left staring as he left, the words in her mind somehow not coming to her mouth.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1099-The next day, Frank and Helen were already prepared early in the morning and drove to Drenam Limited's office.

Cindy had insisted on following, throwing a tantrum as she claimed she wanted to see what Frank could actually do to take those land lots from Gene.

To no surprise, Drenam Limited was just a small local construction company that Gene had bought out to be an intermediary. "Hello. Looking for someone?" Rob, a thuggish youth with a toothpick between his teeth, strode up to them, stopping them.

He looked between them, not even stopping to take a second look at Cindy, as he soon gaped at Helen, dropping his toothpick. "Shit!" He cursed even as he

spaced out.

"What's going on here?" Bob, a pudgy man strode up to them as well, frowning.

"If you're here to talk shop, I'm sorry, but we were just bought out and… Shit!"

He reacted no different from Rob when he saw Helen and barked, "Quit gawking! Don't just let her stand there-go get a chair and some tea!"

"Oh, yeah, yeah," Rob turned and hurried off.

Somehow, their enthusiasm left Frank upset.

Helen noticed that and subtly leaned against him, puffing her chest and smiling.

On the other hand, Cindy was scowling as Rob only brought one chair. "Hey, only one chair? What about me?"

"You?" Rob looked at her pointedly from head to toe before chuckling. "Just sit anywhere you like. Nothing but broken desks around here."

"What?!" Cindy snapped.

On the other hand, Bob was rubbing.

his hands and chuckling, wa to Helen as he asked eagerly, up "Ahem…. May I have the pleasure of your name?"

"Helen Lane," Helen replied, leaning against Frank without sitting. "Chairwoman of Lanecorp.

"Oh, Ms. Lane?" Bob did a double take, but soon scratched his head awkwardly.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but if you're here to discuss business, we were just- "

"Bought out by Gene Pearce?" Frank chuckled.

"How did you…"

Bob got a little nervous but soon shrugged. "Whatever. Not interested how you found out… At least I know why you're here now."

"Oh, you do?" Frank was surprised-did Gene notify them already?

"Really?" Frank's eyes widened, though he soon realized it was only natural that the bigwigs of Zamri would not just allow Drenam Limited acquire so much land without doing anything.

"Of course." Bob sighed. "You just want to get the land lots that wen acquired from yesterday's bid, don't you? Plenty of others have come already."

Bob shrugged. "Yeah, and we told them it wasn't us who bought those and lots it was our boss Gene Peafde. They all stopped and left after that."

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1100-Just as Bob finished, Rob, who had been staring at Helen for a while, exclaimed in surprise, "Hold on, didn't they already know that Mr. Pearce owns us now?

Then what are they doing here?" Bob frowned at Frank in turn. "Oh, right? What are you doing here? Is it not about those land lots?"

"It is," Frank nodded in confirmation.

Bob clicked his tongue right then and sighed exasperatedly. "Then what are you doing here if you know that? What, are you going to buy them off Mr. Pearce?"

"Exactly. Are you crazy?" Rob chimed in, sneering at Frank while twirling a finger over his temple.

"See, Helen?" Cindy exclaimed gleefully. "They don't even know about us-Frank was lying! And he'd even announce that Mr. Pearce willingly sold them… He must be crazy!"

Rob did a double take and turned toward Frank. "That chick's no looker, but she's right. You'd have a better chance buying a pillow instead, so that you can get those pieces of lands in your dreams." "Frank…" Helen turned toward him worriedly.

"Don't worry." Frank nodded at Helen, chuckling. "It doesn't matter if you believe me. Mr. Pearce agreed to transfer the deed to us yesterday. You can call him to confirm if you want." Frank's serious reaction actually left Rob and Bob puzzled.

He was clearly not here to cause trouble, and he already knew that Gene had acquired their company.

Could what he said be true, and that Gene had really given up those land lots?

Still, they nodded at each other despite their confusion, with Bob whipping out his phone, "I'll call Zorn Woss to check. He's Mr. Pearce valet, just wait a moment…"

Frank remained calm, positive that Gene would have settled the issue, though there was not telling if Bob's call would reach him.

However, Frank did not expect Bob's call to actually get through, and Zorn's phone was suddenly ringing behind them.

"Huh? Aren't you..?" Zorn murmured, frowning at Frank and the othersh while holding his phone without answering it.

"Ah, Mr. Woss." Bob quickly hung up when he saw Zorn, walking up to him and pointed at Frank. "These people are from Lanecerp, an hey re saying Mr, Pearce agreed to transfer all five land deeds to them. "I never heard anything about that," Zorn said as he strode over, planting himself on the chair and staring suspiciously at Frank.

"Hahaha! See, Helen?!" Cindy was immediately laughing, already imagining the look of Frank's Pace justithen! ""told you he's lying! And now he's exposed! Mr. Pearce's valet himself says he doesn't know!"
