The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



Frank snorted. "You're right, but I'd still give you a chance for your mother's sake.

"Before I came to Shagan, I had a friend who was led astray and ultimately died. It was a betrayal, but I still wouldn't wish death upon him."

Sally simply smirked. "Your kindness is just going to get you killed!"

Frank shook his head, flashing the ring on his finger. "I don't think so. The spiritron vein has my back, and anything you try would be foiled easily!" Sally shrugged. "In that case, we shall wait and see who comes out on top... in thirty minutes."

Frank certainly could see that she had other hands to play, but it was fine.

Even without the power of the spiritron vein, he would continue this game with Sally just to satisfy his curiosity!

Meanwhile, at the lobby of Golden Lily, Ida Cahn was on the floor, clutching the wound on her shoulder in disbelief, as it was Rain Godot who had just defeated her!

"I'm surprised I brought so much trouble on my mentor's doorstep," she said with a sigh. "But I wonder what your sister would think if she finds out?" Rain shrugged and waved his hand.noveldrama

Countless tendrils shot out from the painting of the art wight, coiling around Ida while Rain gloated. "I don't have to explain anything. I am a man of destiny, and there are ties that must be cut... or I'll pay for it!"

Ida frowned. "And how did you control the art wight?"

"That's easy." Rain chuckled coolly. "Sally gave me power over it! Regrettably, none of you could've known because I'm one of a kind.

"If you're still curious, I don't mind

telling you that we were aware all along that the thief king, my sister, and Sky Mystic Two were acquainted. We also know Sky Mystic Two's personality and- Frankton's skill in medicine, so we crafted a plot that fooled every last one of you.

"But don't worry, I'm not going to kill you... Heck, no one in this building is going to die, because you're all going to be used as leverage against Lugh Frankton!"

Ida laughed despite herself. "In short, you're all out of options against my mentor and must coerce him into compliance. However, you don't know how cold he can be he won't allow himself to be tied down to save us!"

Rain laughed. "That's certainly possible, but we have to gamble because we're out of time—and we're betting that Lugh Frankton is a good man." Ida did not argue but was determined not to be a burden.

Not only did Frank spare her life, but he had also taught her everything she knew-that made him her mentor, and she would not allow him to be toyed at Sally's mercy because of her!

"Don't bother!"

Rain grabbed her by the chin,

noticing that she was going to bite her tongue to kill herself. "The power that Sallygranted us can empower anyone indiscriminately, so I can give it to you straight—you're not going to die even if you bite off your tongue. Give it a rest."

Ida froze in despair.

At the same time, the tendrils reached upstairs, quickly plucking Whitney, Sadie Godot, and the others and bringing them downstairs.

"What did you do, Rain?!" Sadie was stunned.

She thought that the art wight was betraying them... but it was Rain instead!

"I'm not who you think sis." Rain shrugged. "But I have no time to explain. We're going to meet your mentor now-don't worry, everyone will be fine as long as he cooperates."

"Is this Sally York's doing?" Whitney demanded icily.

"You must be her mother."
