The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Frank walked up to Pat, smiling. "Sorry you had to travel all this way."

Pat returned his smile, shrugging. "Come on. You are a very important friend-of course I had to see you when you're in town."

Frank nodded and walked up to Arcus. "Well done, kid. Not even Jada would be able to handle this as well as you did."

Arcus actually felt embarrassed instead and asked, "When are we visiting the Costners, sir?"

"Yeah, this can't wait." Frank nodded, turning back to Pat. "How did it go?"

"Can't say it went well!"noveldrama

Pat shook his head. "Walt Costner had been fueling rumors that you're the one who poisoned Derek, and the family is now reluctant to let you meet him."

"They are as stupid as they are sickening!" Arcus snorted in annoyance. "Can't they at least think about it? What would Mr. Frankton have to gain from hurting the head of a small family like theirs?"

"Calm down." Pat chuckled. "I'm sure Mr. Frankton has a plan in mind already."

Frank chuckled. "You know me well!"

Arcus' eyes lit up, all too eager to listen.

To be honest, he had no solutions to offer so that Frank could treat Derek's illness.

"Simple." Frank shrugged. "We'll just have to charge inside!"

"What?!" Arcus exclaimed in shock. "That's no good, Mr. Frankton! The conflict would definitely escalate!"

Frank smiled, shaking his head. "Don't worry-that would only happen briefly, at best. Once Derek wakes up, they would suddenly feel more at ease and wouldn't want to mess with us. Get it?"

Arucs nodded in understanding.

That was true-as long as Derek woke up, all bygones would be bygones.

Even if barging into the Costners' residence might be uncalled for, Frank was doing it to save Derek-challenging him over

really did not make sense, and me

someone like Derek would simply let it slide.

That being said, Frank still had to save Derek for that to happen.

Should he fail, it would be used as leverage for the Costners.

Naturally, Frank would not worry about getting into a fight against the Costners, though it was a bother nonetheless.

While Arcus knew that Frank was an extraordinary healer and had reason to be confident, he was still impressed by the man's audacity.

If Arcus was in his place, he certainly would not charge straight into enemy territory-he'd never survive the consequences.

"I'm going by myself. Both of you just wait here!" Frank said then.

Pat smiled and nodded as the commissioner of Shagan, people would talk if he showed up alongside Frank when he charged into the Costners' turf.

Arcus nodded too, although he was eager to go with Frank, since he wanted to see Frank in action.

Even if Frank failed, Arcus would be willing to die with him too.

However, there was no helping it—he would not be of help even if he followed and might even be a burden.

Soon, Frank was outside Costners' residence.

It was not all that huge a place—as a local giant, the family's members were spread throughout Shanton, while only those in Derek's inner

circle lived here.

Naturally, it was noisy and congested with cars and people now, as everyone was concerned about Derek.

Reasonably speaking, Frank could

have sneaked in without anyone knowing. He simply refused to, since

he

Kanted to cause a fuss to punish Derek a little.
