The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Chapter 1747



"Damn it."

Frank could not move when he saw Horey holding the detonator with a vice-like grip, as he also spied a red flash under Gavin's clothes.

He would not get hurt by the bomb, but if he pushed Horey too far and she pressed the detonator, Gavin would not survive.

"Stop, Frank!" Helen cried out anxiously from the phone Horey dropped. "Do you hear me?! Stop! You're going to kill Uncle Gavin! He has to stay safe, you hear me?!

It only got Frank irritated, and he snapped, "Shut up!"

And with that, silence ensued.

"Mmm... Mmmph!!!"

Gavin's eyes widened as he glanced between Frank and the dropped phone in disbelief.

He started to struggle against his restraints, only to tip over and fall on the floor. Even so, his eyes were fixed on Frank, as if to tell Frank to kill Horey -to eliminate the threat and not worry about him!

Frank certainly noticed, but he gritted his teeth and shook his head. "N-No. I can't do that."

His conscience would not be clear if he had to sacrifice Gavin, whom he and Helen owed so much to, just to kill a cockroach like Horey.

"Hahaha..."This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing them arguing, Horey started laughing again. "Oh, Frank! Aren't you a man? Honestly, getting tripped up over some woman? Go on, kill me! I don't want to live anyway-the child inside me won't live without the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, and it's pointless for me to stay alive otherwise! And I certainly don't dislike the idea of taking a few heads as I go down!"

Frank's fingers twitched around her neck even as she continued her maniacal ramblings, but he eventually closed his eyes. "I'll let you go. Leave the detonator."

"Hahaha..."

Horey looked skyward and roared with laughter as he gave in. "Master Noirot, Kairo Wal... Do you hear this? Are you witnessing this?! The man you think is so invincible, so unstoppable, has just given in to me because of a woman!"

Eventually when she was done laughing, she looked at Frank, a sinister flicker almost visible in her eyes. "I'm never giving up on the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom... unless I'm dead!"

And with those words, she threw the detonator toward the open window.

Frank reacted in a split second, dashing over and catching it before it could fall.

However, that moment of delay was all Horey needed to jump out of the building, disappearing by the time Frank turned around. Frank clenched his knuckles, but he wasted no time in rushing over to free Gavin and taking off all the explosives placed on him.

But while he did, all the diodes that were red suddenly turned green.

"Shit!" Frank cursed-Horey must have had another detonator, which she had triggered when she reached safety!

"Frank!"

Gavin cried as he turned and saw in despair that Frank was sweating all over his brow, knowing then that time was up and he would die as the loud beeping became more rapid.

"Shut up!"

Frank's hands moved even faster nheless, and he managed to remove all the explosives from Gavin as the beeping almost turned simultaneous.
