The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

"I'm your subordinate?"

Noel turned and frowned at Sil. "What's going on here, Mr. Lionheart? I don't remember such a clause in our agreement."

Sil stayed silent, as he was caught in a dilemma.

Rory giggled in turn, shaking her head. "You're so naive, Noel. Did you think the Lionhearts were really taking you in for your skills or your reputation? They wouldn't bother if not for me... Oh, and we weren't lying, it's just that I'm the head of Lionheart Entertainment." "So, you're going to do everything to tell you from now on, including whatever projects I assign you."

"Wait."

Noel held up a hand, frowning. "You're overstepping, Rory, and I don't remember ever insulting you. Why are you so bent on hurting me, even spending five billion dollars to poach me from Lanecorp?" "Tut, tut..."

Rory stood, folding her arms before her chest as she clicked her tongue. "Important people are really forgetful, huh? Do you think you'd be Draconia's top actress if you didn't seduce the judges?"

With that, Rory started bellowing viciously, "All those awards you won should be mine! I was about to be the top actress and the top singer, only for you to show up at the very last moment with some trash indie film to take what was mine! You stole the spotlight from me and stole most of my sponsors, and so many of my partnership deals fell out! And you don't think you've insulted me?!"

While Noel appeared shocked by

Rory's accusations, she shook her head exasperatedly. "I had no thoughts of stealing the limelight and those awards only appeal to vanity Listen to me-don't overreach for something so frivolous, or you'll pay dearly for it."

"I'll pay dearly?!"Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Rory simply laughed and leaned

close to Noel's face as she sneered. "Easy for you to say. Soon after you stole everything from me, Gene Pearce dumped me, while you joined forces with my enemy... Birds of the same feather, huh?!"

"You know what I'm thinking? I could kill you where you stand-you and that manwhore from Lanecorp. It's your fault that this happened to me! But I've thought of a plan that's much better than killing you. u two."

She smiled sinisterly, clearly having a terrible plan in mind.

Nearby, Sil was going to speak up, but he merely frowned and shook his head when he saw Rory's crazed visage.

He was only helping her closely because it was what Titus Lionheart had tasked him with.

Titus's orders were for him to investigate and run interference against Frank, with the ones around him being the priority targets.

After all, Titus hinted that the spiritron vein, which Simon Lionheart needed dearly right now, was hidden around Frank.

And they had a hunch that it was hidden in Lanecorp's studio park, which they were recently developing.
