The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

"Now, I have questions, and you will all answer," Frank said as he walked slowly toward Chet as he sat limply on the floor, his face drained of all color.

"P-Please ask... I'll tell you everything..." Chet was so petrified in fear that he had no idea what he was saying.

"Yesterday, the expensive equipment Lanecorp was transporting had been stolen or sabotaged mid-transit-" "That was us!"

Chet admitted to it immediately, tears flowing down his cheeks as he kowtowed to Frank endlessly. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Lawrence... We did it, but we were just following orders! It was Sil Lionheart who put us up to it-we don't dare to go against him!" Chet's pleading cries left Urian snorting coolly.

Just earlier, the man was looking all smug, bragging about how beautiful a job he did and how brightly their fires burnt.

He certainly did not look like he was forced to do it!

Still, Urian did not say a word, in case he would blow up like Grom did.

It was such a horrific way to go, and he had not even heard of it!

Urian scowled as he suddenly remembered what Frank said earlier, that he was affable and did not like to resolve problems with violence...

Meanwhile, Chet saw that Frank remained impassive and promptly shifted the blame on the Lionheart martial elites behind him. "They were the ones who did it-them, the Lionheart martial elites! I was just watching... I'm just an errand boy forced into this!" The Lionheart martial elites were left staring, dumbstruck.

What the hell?! Chet had just said earlier that they were all in the same boat, and he was now scapegoating them?!

That was not all either-in the first place, he called them here today to help with a personal issue, did he not?!

Thinking about it, the fact that Lanecorp now had them was all Chet's fault, was it now?!

And here he was, despicable shifting blame...

If there was a ranking of how despicable a person could be, Chet would certainly top it.

In fact, it was not just the Lionheart martial elites who were left dumbstruck, as Frank was speechless too.

Chet was beyond salvation, and Frank was actually impressed how far gone he was.

Naturally, he had no intention of sparing any of them.

Smiling, he dropped to a crouch in front of Chet and said, "Since you admitted to destroying the equipment, shouldn't you be doing something about it?" Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"What?!"

Chet looked up right then and came to his senses when he saw Frank smiling. "O-Okay! I'll pay! I'll pay!"

Seeing that Frank was being agreeable, Chet actually felt glee inside.

After all, that meant he most likely would survive this.

And as long as he survived, he would return to Sil, and whatever he said would be the truth!

Little details, such as how the Lionheart martial elites were all killed because he tried to abduct Noel York, or how he led the Lionheart martial elites straight to Lanecorp?

There was certainly no way he would let Sil find out.

If Sil did, he would definitely skin Chet.

That was why Chet was determined to shift the blame to the deceased Grom.

He just had to say that Grom double-crossed them to defect to Lanecorp and set him up... and he barety managed to escape alive.
