The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Getting the idea just then, Troy asked tentatively, "Then, if my men die because of Frank..." "I will get involved."

Kilian seemed to see through Troy, but he did not care and stared at Troy as he continued quietly, "A full-fledged Birthright rank may be able to strut across the east coast, but they would be insignificant in the South Sea."

"Great!" Troy was delighted with an elder of Volsung Sect like Kilian, even all of Zamri did not stand a chance against them.

Seeing Troy's delight, Kilian snorted and remained impassive. "I've come under orders to supervise the excavation of the spiritron vein. For that, I will eliminate those in your way, but don't think I'm taking orders from you."

Troy was cursing in his head, but he kept smiling and nodded repeatedly.

After Frank returned to Zamri, he called Gene, who laughed heartily when Frank told him he wanted a mansion near the city.

"I've just noticed one in South Zamri," he said. "I heard it belonged to the Bearsons, and I think it suits your needs. It just happens that the owner is selling it tomorrow-just head over there with my gold card. You have a blank check for your purchase."

Frank felt a little conscientious despite Gene's generosity but nodded. "In that case, I'll take you up on your offer. Also, I've made arrangements for the farm resort-you can enjoy our premium service as soon as you arrive."

Gene was delighted, since Frank had promised him a Jade Marrow Pill and quickly made the arrangements. "Let's not get so formal, and it's just a mansion... Haha!" They hung up after a little small talk after that.

Early the next day, Frank woke up when he noticed a sneaky presence and smiled after he extended his senses.

The door opened as a figure tiptoed inside, quietly getting on the bed and straddling the bulge under the blanket.

reaction.

"Hey! You scared me!" She patted her chest to calm down with an accusing glare, but she was clearly pleased to see him.

"Come on. That's your fault for trying to scare me in the first place." Frank smiled, folding his arms before his chest.

"I just wanted to surprise you!" Vicky pouted, sitting on the bed and pretending to look angry.

They said nothing as they stood off against each other, though Vicky was soon laughing and leapt off the bed and into Frank's arms. Her long white legs wrapped around his waist, clinging firmly to him like gum.
