The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Meanwhile, at the Pearce Group headquarters in Morhen, Gene Pearce was seated at the main chair with a cigarette between his lips, listening as his executives argued in the meeting. While he kept a straight face, frustration was flaring within him-the only thing these pieces of trash ever did was shift blame, putting their self-gain above all else.

He was actually wondering if he should just tell them to fuck off while he hired new blood.

Still, even as the thought crossed his mind, his phone rang, and the conference room turned quiet instantly.

"It's Mr. Lawrence, sir," his assistant said as she handed his phone over respectfully.

Gene cheered up right away, as he had to admit that Frank's Jade Marrow Pill was incredibly effective.

And with the hot springs at Frank's Riverton farm resort, he felt younger and brimming with energy-even his new girlfriend could not keep up with him.

He was even wondering if he should get another couple more to produce some heirs, something which he would never dare imagine just two months ago. "Hey brother. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Gene remained seated as he answered Frank's call cheerfully.

"Do you know where Rory Thames went?" Frank asked right then.

The question left Gene frowning uncomfortably in turn, "Why would you ask about that woman?"

He might have groomed Rory to success, but all he felt toward her now was endless disgust, and he would have her dealt with if he was not that sentimental.

"It seems that she has jumped ship to the Lionhearts and is sending them after me," Frank replied.

Gene was at once incensed, slamming his hand on the table as he sprang to his feet.

"That bitch! How dare she?!" he bellowed.

"Well, she did, and that's a fact."

Frank then paused and sighed. "She's working with Sil Lionheart of Volsung Sect's Caudal Hall, sending saboteurs who attack Lanecorp's transport trucks delivering

equipment worth billions."Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

"Fuck!"

Anyone could see how highly Gene thought of Frank, and he felt regret allowing his ex-wife to inflict such devastating losses to Frank.

"I warned her I can spare her life, but she's not to mess with you and I... But she ignored that anyway!"

Huffing, Gene returned to his

armchair and continued, "Tell me,

Frank, How much did you lose? l'il

have my staff compensate you right away."

"Calm down." Frank chuckled, knowing that Gene felt guilty since he offered to pay him back. "I'm just calling to see where you stand. You know i'm no pushover-I'll definitely fight back. As for Rory Thames..."

"Don't worry. She broke the rules-I don't care even if she gets killed." Gene chuckled coolly.

To think that woman would cause trouble behind his back despite his warning.

Gene could turn a blind eye to her sucking up to the Lionhearts, only for her to break their promise and come after Frank.

That was entirely on her being suicidal.

"Alright. That's what I wanted to hear," Frank said, hanging up with satisfaction.

Gene remained silent for a while but eventually slammed his hand on the table again.

"Fuck, I won't take this lying down! Call Frank again-I'm getting involved too!"
