The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 498

Henry had killed himself, giving up his life in exchange for Frank's mercy.

"As long as the Lanes don't mess with me anymore, I won't bother going after them," Frank mused to himself. "We're all square now."

It was Henry's last wish, because he understood at the very end that his family did not deserve Frank.

Despite Gina's persistent claims that Frank did not deserve Helen, it was the other way round. After breakfast, Frank started his daily training routine.

His phone rang with perfect timing when he was done, and it turned out to be Burt Yorkman. "What is it?" Frank answered.

"Bro—I mean, Mr. Lawrence! We're in trouble!" Burt cried urgently right then.

Frank frowned. "What? What's the problem?"

"I-It's Quinn," Burt stammered. "S-She ran away!"

"Ran away?" Frank remained unaffected, even nodding. "Then let her.”

"What? But..."

Burt's jaw hung open as he tried to speak and sighed after a long while. "Sir, her insanity was faked!"

"I know." Frank nodded again.

"What?!" Burt was left gaping in disbelief. "Then why didn't you just eliminate her back then?" "Because I'm using her as bait."

Frank's explanation only left Burt further confused. "She's bait? What are you fishing for, Mr. Lawrence? If she tells Cloudnine Sect about you—"

"Don't worry, she won't," Frank said confidently.

"Really? Why?"

Burt was especially concerned since his life was at stake, but Frank simply told him, "Don't worry about it. Just watch out and call me if anyone comes to you."

"Yes, Mr. Lawrence."

Frank sneered even as he hung up.

He knew that Quinn would not tell Cloudnine Sect about him because of her ambition.

After meeting her for a few times now, Frank had discerned how ambitious Quinn was, and that she stopped at nothing to achieve her goals.

She was certainly cunning too—despite being a Sage Lake Sect elder's daughter, she would resort to feigning insanity just to save herself from Frank's vengeance, and that certainly made her a scary individual.

However, that also meant her greed would keep her from ratting him out to Cloudnine Sect and the rest of the South Sea Four.

Mystic Sky Sect might be history, but everyone had gone after them in the first place because they desired the Five-Peat Archaeus. Quinn would certainly be able to find out why, with her high rank in Sage Lake Sect and all.

After all, it was an esoteric discipline that combined mastery over the five elements, and it was said that with sufficient talent, it could propel a person to immortality!

Those beneath were no more than mortals, while those who reached beyond were divine!

And it was because Frank's mentor attempted ascension that they were attacked by every other sect, foiling said attempt. If he had succeeded, he would have been able to destroy every sect in Draconia, let alone the South Sea Four.

Now, as the only living apprentice of Mystic Sky Sect, Frank showed embodiment of the Five-Peat Archaeus.

He therefore knew for sure that Quinn would not tell Cloudnine Sect and would instead attempt to claim the Five-Peat Archaeus for her own.

In fact, her escape was merely the first move Frank made on the chess board.
