The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Peter was clearly trying to shirk responsibility.

However, Kit sprang to his feet, striding up to Peter and seizing him by the collar as he spat, "It was all your idea! Swindling your mommy with that land to get her money-well, shit! All you've done now is to throw them money!"

Flinging Peter on the couch, he bellowed, "You have three days. Get that land back at the price you sold it, or your head will roll!"

"Security!"

As Kit slammed his hand on his desk again, the doors of his office opened.

Two muscular bodyguards who stood over two meters strode in, as Kit pointed at Peter and snapped, "Throw him out of here!"

"Yes, Mr. Jameson," the bodyguards replied, then picked Peter up as if he were a cat and flung him out on the street.

"That's out of line!"

Peter snapped even as he pushed himself to his feet, dusting his clothes and yelled at Zomber Group's office building, "How could I have known that Zamri would build a highway that just happens to pass through that area?! It's all just a coincidence, but you're blaming it on me?! You dressed it up pretty, but all you want is to use me to buy that land back!"

"Peter Lane." One of the bodyguards strode up to him, folding his arms before his chest as he snapped coldly, "Mr. Jameson says you have three days. If you can't get every inch of that land back, you'll be dead by then!"

"Hah!" The other bodyguard chuckled. "A loser like you is telling Mr. Jameson what to do?! He hasn't even punished you for his brother's death! Now, get out!"This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The bodyguard's outburst left Peter cringing just like a whipped dog, mumbling under his breath but not actually daring to fight back.

After all, his life was in Kit's hands, just as every last dime he conned from Gina fell into Kit's hands.

In a nutshell, he was nothing more than Kit's lapdog.

"Shit, so this is what they call an expendable asset?" Peter huffed as he trudged along the street, getting grumpier the more he thought about it.

Ultimately, he turned his crosshairs

on Frank there would not have

been so much mess if not for Frank, and he would have made his grand debut as Lanecorp's new boss.

At the very least, he would not be bullied even by Kit's underlings, living just like a dog.

"Urgh..." Peter ultimately sighed as he resigned himself to his fate.

He did not want to die so soon, just as he never thought about running away.

Forget the fact that Zomber Group was one of Zamri's Three Bears-even he refused to run away, because he could see that he would earn big bucks if he could get that plot of land back.

Even if kit would be taking most of the profits, getting just a sliver was still plenty.

Making up his mind right then, he

hailed a cab, then bought a couple of bouquets pretentiously before heading to the hospital where Gina was admitted.

"Mom." He smiled as he opened the door and entered Gina's ward.
