Ch. 171..180
The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage Chapter 171-“What?!” James exclaimed, his expression stiffening as he turned toward Frank.
That brat… How on earth did he become Robert’s son-in–law?!
“So you’re going to protect him at all costs?” he growled.
“Yes,” Robert said sternly. “He’s not to be touched. Whatever you want in return, just name it but understand that your family will be no friend of ours from now on, nor are any welcomed here in Skywater Bay.” of you
James glowered. “You’re really cutting ties with my family over Frank Lawrence?
Do you really think that’s worth it?” “Absolutely.” Robert nodded. “From where I’m standing, he’s worth ten of you.” “Hmph!” James snorted. “Then you’ve truly underestimated me. I don’t mind telling you that I just expanded my business to Middleton–the powers that be of Riverton might not be able to stop us!” Frank and Robert both frowned, surprised that the Wesleys worked quick enough to extend their business to Middleton.
After all, Middleton was a far larger state and could even be considered the heart of the country. In many ways, the place was more important than Riverton.
In fact, any Rivertonian who wanted to expand their business to Middleton needed the help of Middletonians.
James smiled smugly when he saw Frank and Robert’s reactions.
However, that was when someone bellowed, “Middleton? So what? This is Riverton! If you’re such a big deal, why don’t you bring your Middletonian friends over? Even they would have to abide by the rules here!” Everyone turned in surprise to find another group entering the mansion, with a man in his forties leading them.
It was Kenny Sparks, master of Skyblade Dojo–the strongest faction of Riverton!
James froze in turn–why did Kenny come too?!
“What are you saying, Mr. Sparks?” he asked.
Kenny, who lived here in Skywater Bay as well, came to take a look after spotting the commotion.
He was actually surprised to find that Frank was involved.
Given that he was still eager to get the recipe for the Ichor Pill from Frank, he certainly would not allow James to kill Frank!
“I’m saying that Mr. Lawrence is my friend,” he said, shrugging. “If you want him, you and your men would have to get past me first.” He then leveled a pointed stare of contempt at the bodyguards James brought, who were trading glances at his words.
Chapter 1 Everyone in Riverton had heard of Kenny’s abilities, especially how masterfully he wielded his blade like it was an extra arın.
These bodyguards were certainly no match for him!
James was left clenching his knuckles and gritting his teeth–he did not think that even the master of Skyblade Dojo would b on Frank’s sidel The Quills, the Turnbulls, and now Skyblade Dojo… each of those three factions were already untouchable for James.
Now that they were all backing Frank, James was even less significant in comparison. To kill that man was virtually impossible now!
“Fine–I will remember this,” he growled and barked at his men, “Let’s go!” The bodyguards promptly picked up Sean’s corpse before making themselves scarce.
They certainly felt lucky–thank goodness their boss knew when to back down, or they would all be killed if they fought the Quills and Skyblade Dojo right now!
Act Fast: Free Bonus Time is Running Out!
The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage Chapter 172-Kenny stopped James before he could leave, growling, “What, are you going to seek revenge later?” James‘ face turned ashen–he certainly intended to do so!
However, he said, “I would never dare when you’ve told me not to, Mr. Sparks.” Kenny chuckled. “Good.” Everyone watched as James and his men left, with Robert breathing a sigh of relief before turning to Kenny. “I’m surprised. You’re acquainted with Mr.
Lawrence as well, Mr. Sparks?”
“Of course!” Kenny laughed heartily. “Ms. Turnbull herself introduced us, and I had the honor of witnessing him saving Gerald Simmons from the brink with just a pill.” “What?!” Robert exclaimed, turning toward Frank in shock–the man was certainly full of surprises!
Still, Kenny warned Frank just then, “Mr. Lawrence, it’s clear that James Wesley isn’t going to let this slide. You really should be more careful.” Frank shrugged, but his words were charged with killing intent. “I’ll destroy him and his family altogether if he tests me.” Both Robert and Kenny felt a chill down their spine right then and traded glances.
It seemed that the one they saved today was James, not Frank!
Kenny approached Frank with a smile just then. “Mr. Lawrence, I’ve actually come with a favor to ask!” Frank studied him–even if they were not closely acquainted, he knew that Kenny was close to Vicky.
He did not say no for Vicky’s sake, not to mention that Kenny just stood up for him as well. ” You may ask freely. I will help if I can.” Kenny was delighted that Frank was so agreeable. “Actually, my father used to be a martial artist who often saw action, and he sustained plenty of undetectable injuries. As he aged, he became bedridden… so I was wondering if you still have Ichor Pills? I’ll pay you a fortune for it.
Kenny was actually obsessed with the Ichor Pill ever since he witnessed its power, and buying one was certainly worth any cost!
Frank smiled in turn. “I’m sorry, Mr. Sparks, but everyone’s condition is different and the Ichor Pill might not work. I would prefer to diagnose your father’s condition before deciding.” “Well, when would you be free to visit my dojo?” Kenny quickly asked. “Don’t worry. I’ll pay you for the consultation as well.” Frank thought about it. “Tomorrow.” “Great!” Kenny exclaimed in delight. “I’ll personally come to pick you up tomorrow.” Even without the Ichor Pill, his father still stood a chance given Frank’s incredible knowledge Chapter 172 on medicine.
And with that agreed, Kenny and Robert quickly bade their leave.
Meanwhile, Gina and Peter had just rushed to Riverton Hospital.
Chris was already there, and walked up to Gina when she saw them. “Hello, Mrs. Lane.” Gina stared at the unfamiliar face and asked curiously, “And you are…?” “Have you forgotten, Mrs. Lane? I’m Chris Steiner, Helen’s classmate back in college.” Gina remembered the name right then. “Oh, Mr. Steiner!” The Steiners were an important family as well. Even if they paled in comparison to the Wesleys, Chris was both loyal and exceptional. Rumor had it that he furthered his studies abroad—that was years ago, so he must have successfully returned now!
The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage Chapter 177-Chris was just introducing the landscaping to Gina and Peter. “So the woods and gardens here are all tended by top gardeners in the region, and the work done is worth millions. Not only is it scenic, but the artistic sense is invaluable too.” Gina’s eyes were welling up with admiration as she gazed upon the scenery, sighing in awe. This really is the prime estate of Riverton. Even the landscaping is more expensive than our manor.” Lane Manor was situated in the suburbs, but its value paled in comparison to the mansions of Skywater Bay.
“That’s for sure.” Peter nodded, not forgetting to fawn over Chris. “I mean, just consider the people living here–right, Mr. Steiner?” Chris smiled. “Oh, we’re all just ordinary people, grinding for some coins like the rest.” They were still chatting as Frank hurried downhill.
Gina spotted him with the corner of her eye, and was taken aback. “Frank Lawrence?” Frank was surprised to hear his name being called and turned to see that it was Gina, who snapped at him angrily right then, “What are you doing here, lowlife?!” “I live here. What’s the problem?” Frank frowned.
“Haha!” Peter laughed unreservedly right then. “You’re really too much! Don’t you feel embarrassed?! No, do you even know where you are?! This is motherfucking Skywater Bay – even money can’t buy you a mansion here!” Frank glanced between them, bemused. “I’m actually more curious what either of you are doing here.” Robert Quill had told him that Skywater Bay mansions were only given, never sold.
And these two certainly would not be given any!
Frank then turned to the stranger with them.
He stared at Chris who stood in his suit, finding him familiar but unable to place him… “Hah! What are we doing here, you ask?! What’s it to you?!” Gina retorted, but she was looking away, refusing to admit that they had to lick Chris‘ boots to make it in here.
On the other hand, Chris‘ eyes narrowed, immediately recognizing Frank.
He was walking along the road, blocking his way and dragging his feet–and Chris certainly remembered snapping at him!
Frank, however, did not take it to heart and naturally would not remember Chris.
“Who are you?” he growled.
Peter quickly whispered to him, “That’s Frank Lawrence, Helen’s ex–husband.” Chris‘ eyes flashed coldly at that.
His goddess married a piece of shit like him?!
The very thought left him infuriated!
“Mrs. Lane and Peter are here because this is their second home,” he growled.
“On the other hand, how did you sneak in here? Who let you in?” Gina was beside herself with emotion to see Chris backing her up. How respectful of him!
Holding her hands on her hips, she glared at Frank and snapped, “Did you hear that? I live here!” Frank looked Chris straight in the eye right then. “I’ve said–I live here. I can come and go whenever I like.” “You live here?” Chris laughed. “Do tell–which mansion do you live in?”
The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage Chapter 179-Jimmy quickly nodded. “Of course. See you, Mr. Lawrence.” He watched as Frank headed off into the distance before wheeling on Gina and Peter. “Who are you? I’ve never seen you around before.” “Oh, we…” Gina stammered frantically.
Chris promptly went up and said, “They’re my relatives. I invited them.” “Yes, yes, yes,” Peter quickly nodded. “We’re Mr. Steiner’s relatives.” Jimmy said nothing to that but instead leveled Chris a cool glare. “You’d better keep an eye on them.”
“O–Of course,” Chris said awkwardly.
He would never dare throw a fit against Skywater Bay’s security, because he did not own any mansions.
In fact, he did not even live there.
Jimmy, who was privy to what’s going on in every house, was naturally in the position to warn him.
However, Gina was still too shocked after finding out that Frank owned a mansion to notice that detail.
“H–How did he get a Skywater Bay mansion?” she stammered.
“Yeah…” Peter was equally confused. “Aren’t these mansions reserved as gifts and never sold? Frank Lawrence shouldn’t be able to afford it…” “Oh!” Gina suddenly exclaimed in realization. “It must be Vicky Turnbull–he must be staying at her house.” Peter had to agree—it made sense that the Turnbulls would have a mansion here, and Vicky must have let Frank stay here!
“Fuck…” he grumbled under his breath. “That gigolo has no right living here… Gina turned toward Chris just then, asking, “Chris, which mansion is more valuable, the Turnbulls‘ or yours?” “The Turnbulls‘, of course,” Chris replied, rubbing his nose awkwardly. “Their main family is from the capital, so they have connections there. The Quills would naturally regard their importance.” So that was why Frank was coming downhill every time he saw him–he was staying at the Turnbulls‘ Skywater Bay mansion.
Chris‘ jealousy flared right then.
He heard that Vicky was as beautiful as she was a successful businesswoman.
But was she blind? Frank was not even half as good–looking as he was!
If he had the Turnbulls‘ influence, he would have reached for the skies by now… Chapter 170 Still, Gina noticed the dark look on Chris‘ face and quickly assured him, “Actually, Chris, the way I see it, that Turnbull gal would never measure up to you. She’s successful only thanks to her family’s influence, while you started out with nothing. That alone makes you infinitely better than her.” Gina’s words actually eased Chris‘ mood considerably. “Thank you, Mrs. Lane.” After leaving Skywater Bay and arriving at the hospital, Frank was told Helen had already been discharged–she only had a mild concussion anyway.
Frank remembered running into Gina and Peter back in Skywater Bay just then and wondered if they brought Helen along with them.
Still, as long as Helen was fine… “What are you doing here, Mr. Lawrence?” a familiar voice suddenly asked from behind.
Frank turned to find Kenny standing there. “Oh, Mr. Sparks. I was just coming to visit my ex- wife…” “Oh? How is she?” Kenny asked in concern. “I have friends working here. Shall I ask them to give her a checkup?” Frank shook his head. “Thank you for your concern. Actually, she’s fine–she’s already been discharged.” “Oh, that’s good news.” Kenny nodded before asking, “By the way… Will you be free later, Mr. Lawrence?”
The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage Chapter 180-Frank said, “Well, I’m actually free.” Kenny grinned right then. “In that case, would you like to visit my dojo? I’d really like you to check on my father’s condition…” Frank then remembered he promised to do that much, and he was never one to renege on promises. “Of course! I was just thinking about visiting myself.” After buying what he needed, Kenny took Frank to his dojo by car toward the eastern edge of the city.The dojo was the size of four soccer fields and had a legion of apprentices, making them one of the four biggest dojos of Riverton.Once they arrived, Kenny led the way, cutting past the training area where many apprentices were practicing blade techniques and into the inner hall.They arrived at Jenson Sparks‘ room, and Frank saw the man laying in bed as soon as he entered.The man actually appeared spirited, but his essence appeared to be waning–his age only made his mortality that much obvious as well.Nonetheless, Kenny strode up to him, announcing delightedly, “Dad, I’ve brought you a miracle worker. You’ll definitely make a full recovery with his help!” Jenson chuckled. “Don’t you think I know my own condition? Quit wasting time on me—I’m seventy. I have no regrets even if I die now.” The other man in the ward asked skeptically, “Healer? What healer?” The man was Rolf Sparks, Kenny’s cousin.Since his father died early, Rolf had been raised at the Skyblade Dojo as Jenson’s adopted son and was a brother to Kenny.He was now the vice–master of the dojo, and he had consulted every healer in Riverton, including Dan Zimmer.And if Dan could not do anything for Jenson, who could?Nonetheless, Kenny pulled Frank along as he introduced, “This is Frank Lawrence. I dare say his medicinal knowledge is far above Dan’s.” “What?!” Rolf pursed his lips, thinking that Kenny was being funny. “Are you kidding me?A healer? How old do you think he is?!” Beside them, Jenson studied Frank skeptically, unsure if he was really as good as he was said to be or was just a conman, Kenny frowned but threw up his hands. “Appearances can be deceiving, Rolf.Also, I’m sure you’ve heard that Mr. Simmons was saved from the brink a while ago? Mr. Lawrence was the Chapter 180 one who saved him at the time.” “For real?!” Rolf turned toward Frank in disbelief.“For real,” Kenny said and turned towards his father. “Dad, I know no one has been able to treat your condition, but why don’t we let Mr. Lawrence try?” Jenson had been staring at Frank for a while.The boy had remained perfectly composed ever since he stepped through the front door, his gaze never darting around nervously. That confidence alone was not something average Joes would ever measure up to.Chuckling, he said, “I can see that you carry yourself with splendor, Mr.Lawrence. Well, since I’m dying anyway, what’s the harm in trying?“Don’t play around with your life, Dad!” Kenny cried right then.Beside him, Frank was a little surprised. Though it had been a while since he had practiced medicine, aside from his confidants, the elderly man before him was the first person who trusted a stranger like him.“Fate is predetermined, my son. Words are just… words.” Jenson chuckled.Kenny turned toward Frank right then, his gaze awash with emotion. “Please, Mr. Lawrence— do your best to help my father. If you do, Skyblade Dojo shall owe you an eternal debt!”
