The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 463

Hans then turned toward Burt. "What should we do with this one, Mr. Lawrence?"

Burt was left gulping just then—Hans could already floor him with just one strike, and he was not going to last a round in a fight.

He could not help being afraid, but his only choice was to wait for Frank's judgment.

However, Frank merely glanced this way before saying quietly, "Forget it. Don't bother with him." What?" Hans did a double take—this was not Frank's style!

Anyone who ever tried to kill him would be killed in return, and Burt was going to torture him before that too!

But he did not care?

"Mr. Lawrence, are we really just going to let him go?" Hans asked in confusion.

Frank wheeled on him. "What, are you questioning me?”

"No, of course not. I'd never question your magnanimity, sir." Hans promptly threw up his hands and hung his head.

Burt was left dumbstruck even as he watched—even a clearly high-ranked military officer actually deferred to Frank to such an extent?

Frank ignored Hans right then and strode out of the sealed room, while Hans shot a glare at Burt as he growled, "You're lucky Mr. Lawrence didn't want to hold you accountable. But mess with him again, and you're resting in pieces.”

With that, he hurried after Frank, while the armed squad of soldiers also quickly left, leaving Burt and his officers sighing in relief as if dodging a bullet.

One of the junior officers quickly asked, "Who is he, Burt?"

Burt shook his head repeatedly—he certainly had no idea!

"I don't know... but those men were packing heat in public, so they must be a huge deal.”

Then, turning toward the man, he said, "Hit me."

"What?!" The junior officer was left bewildered.

What had gotten into Burt, asking something like that?

Nonetheless, Burt frowned as he barked, "I told you to hit me, so hit me!"

"O-Okay!" The junior officer hesitated for a long while before he finally punched Burt squarely in the face.

Burt was bleeding from the nose, but he told the junior officer to keep going instead of telling him to stop, until his face was swollen.

After all, Sage Lake Sect had tasked him with this—if he returned without killing Frank or getting hurt, they might accuse him of being a turncoat.

He just had to make himself look hurt before claiming that Frank was too strong, beating him to a pulp before running.

And with that, he could claim innocence.

Meanwhile, Helen was still utterly anxious after Frank was taken away.

She had asked Jade Zahn to help, but it turned out Frank and Jade already had a fight, and Jade certainly would not use her connections to bail him out.

Helen had no choice but to ask her grandfather for help.

Henry hurried to the hospital personally to see Jade once he learned that Frank was arrested.

He did not stop for preamble as soon as he stepped inside, saying bluntly, "I have a favor to ask, Jade."

Jade might be unreasonable, but she came with a job to do and would not go too far when it was Henry.
