The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



After that, Frank pressed Geon for further details, but it turned out that he really did not know much.

The only thing certain was that the Lionhearts had pressured him into assisting Carlo Group to distract Frank. However, Geon had no idea what they were doing after that, as they had not contacted him since.

Before Frank left, he remembered something else. "By the way, did you kidnap Stanley Durban's wife and daughter?"

That was what Stanley had told him in that rundown temple in the mountains.

He also claimed that Geon had stripped him off actual power by taking hostages, and Frank would really like to confirm that himself.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"What?"

To Frank's surprise, Geon was left exceedingly perplexed, even scratching his head. "Stanley? It's been half a year since I saw him. As for his wife and daughter... I didn't even know he had a daughter."

Frank did a double take-Geon did not appear to be lying, and Frank sensed confusion instead of guilt.

Still, Frank pressed, "But he's the mayor, and he's been gone for six months. The administration—"

"I've been taking care of it in his stead." Geon nodded. "I mentioned it to the higher-ups, and they have ordered me to take over his duties for the time being. I have no idea where Stanley went either."

"Now that's strange."

Frank frowned slightly-so there was something suspicious about Stanley too.

Nheless, just as he was about to leave, Geon panicked, clinging to his sleeve as he cried, "M-Mr. Lawrence... The Lionhearts would definitely come after me now that I've told you everything! I need your protection, even if it's just for a few days-in that time, I will resign as commissioner and leave Draconia!"

Frank frowned at Geon's pleas.

Despite everything that had happened, Geon was still the Zamri commissioner.

scenario.

Fortunately for everyone, Geon showed tact. Moreover, he was terrified after finding out that Frank had ties to Governor Quill and told Frank everything he knew

On top of that, Frank found out that Stanley was keeping secrets of his own too.

It was also inevitable for Frank to be suspected if Geon died in the near future, so he really should be kept alive.

Even if he did, Frank had to make sure that there was no way for his death to be linked to himself.

As such, he nodded after some thought. "I'll have someone keep watch, but you should watch out for yourself too."

Geon was delighted to hear that and kowtowed repeatedly to Frank in apology.

"Fine, you can go now." Frank waved him off before stepping out and asking Hans Schnee to put a protection detail on Geon. Frank had come prepared for the worst, as it would be an act of provocation to Draconia's authorities should he kill Geon.

That was why Frank had called Hans beforehand, only asking for a favor since things were strained between Frank and Governor Quill at the moment.

Frank just did not expect Hans to go the extra mile, bringing an entire legion with him.

He even put a hand over his heart and assured that Frank could kill Geon if he wanted to-he would take care of the rest.
