The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



Jade's hysterics left Frank impatient, and he raised his other hand to slap her across the face, snapping, "Listen closely! I didn't kill your daughter- someone's trying to frame me! Now tell me what happened before Luna died, and I might catch the killer sooner!"

"I..."

The slap actually knocked some sense into Jade, and she wheezed, "Luna... was with that boy named Borc Zomer. After that, she called me for help, and... And..."

Frank released Jade right then and wheeled on Peter, who flinched right then, with a sharp glare.

"We tried to stay with her, but Luna refused to let us come along, and she..."

He trailed off, sighing in frustration. "She snapped at me and the rest of my boys, calling us slaves and bitches, even Helen..."Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

"I can vouch for Mr. Lane's testimony."

Another security guard scowled as he strode up, growling through clenched teeth, "That woman really doesn't know what's good for her! We reasoned with her, telling her not to go anywhere alone with that man, but she called us names and told us we had no right to meddle, including you..."

The security trailed off, though Frank could tell what he meant from his hesitation and anger.

"Well, that's the long and short of it." Peter sighed exasperatedly. "We had no choice but to wait in the hallway, and by the time we heard her screaming and crying for help, it was too late."

Pointing at the open window with flapping curtains, Peter added, "The brat bailed by the time we kicked down the door. There's only voice recordings of Luna's scream, but we never even heard him torturing her or anything..."

Frank glanced at the window.

This was the second floor, and it was obvious the murder was premeditated, though Luna's death clearly was also her own fault.

Clapping Peter on the shoulder, he said, "I understand. This isn't your fault-go home and get some rest after you cleaned this place up. And remember, be safe."

"Yeah." Peter nodded, feeling emotional over Frank's concern.

Frank watched as the security guards worked for a moment before walking up to Jade and crouching in front of her.

"Tell me who this Borc Zomer is?" he asked solemnly.

"Borc Zomer? Oh..."

Jade was spacing out as she was on the floor but came to her senses when she heard the name. "That boy... he's one of Mommy's contacts."

"Mommy? As in Fleur Lang?"

Frank did a double take the only person whom Jade would call 'Mommy' was Mark Lane's second wife.

"Yes, yes!"

Jade was sobbing as she nodded, all the light in her eyes fading. "Mommy introduced her to me, saying that Borc is Sohil Zomer's son... who is a friend and supposedly sells medicine."

"Sohil Zomer?"

Frank immediately sensed that there was more to this-he always knew that Fleur hated Helen and tried to slander her or get her killed on multiple occasions.
