Semua Bab The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage: Bab 821 - Bab 830

"Hahaha…"Hal threw down his water gun and laughed heartily, while Ned touched his own face.The 'water' that Hal had just sprayed him with was warm and had an indescribable stench.Glaring at Hal who was giving him a gleeful mocking look, he cracked his knuckles audibly.Paula snapped at him right then, "What do you think you are doing, Ned?! Are you going to beat up your nephew in your father's presence?! How dare you!""I-I'm not…" Ned sighed as he eased his knuckle.Hal laughed even loudly at that, even leaping up, punching Ned repeatedly in the knees while he did, "Get down on your knees! My daddy is right here!""Hal." Yed suddenly spoke, frowning.Hal paused, asking, "What is it, Daddy?" Ned thought Yed was going to stop Hal, only for Yed to snort. "Why are you touching him? He's filth.""Okay…" Hal nodded obediently and stamped heavily on Ned's foot before fleeing to Yed's side, repeatedly sticking his tongue out at Ned.Ned almost snapped right then but ultimatel

Lothar finished, "Right now, the priority is to get help for Ciril. I've sent for Abel Loggins from the capital—he'll be here soon."At those words, Yed released Ned's collar while growling, "You're lucky this time!"Ned stumbled backward, his brows knitted in frustration."Oh, you have nothing to worry about," Lothar suddenly said, looking between everyone pointedly. "Ciril is Ascendant rank—once he regains consciousness, who and how he was poisoned would be revealed. He'd know better than anyone. If any of you are present, I will not hold back. This is an attempt on my brother's life, and it entails a summary execution!"Paula's fingers twitched at Lothar's threat, her expression unnatural as she sneaked a look at Yed.Yed nodded at her in turn, assuring her to stay calm since they would never be exposed.After all, they knew better than anyone that Ciril had been poisoned with the Taut Snow Tree. The Taut Snow Tree sounded like a tree, but it was anything but—it was the one

Abel was clicking his tongue, impressed. "The recipe for the Yellow Shrive should have been lost in time, only for me to encounter one here, today… The sun has yet to set on traditional Draconia medicine!""Traditional Draconia medicine?" Yed scoffed in obvious contempt.Abel snorted in turn. "Boy, don't think that traditional Draconia medicine loses out to foreign medicine. The only issue is that most of our discipline has been lost in time—otherwise, foreign medicine cannot even hope to catch up to our pride!""No, Mr. Loggins. I'm just curious," Yed groaned. "From the way you said it before, my father's condition was beyond saving, and now you're saying that a simple pill can bring him back to life?""Yes!" Abel exclaimed confidently.With that, they watched as a servant picked up the powdered remains of the Yellow Shrive carefully.However, just as he mixed it with water and was about to feed it to Ciril, Hal whipped out a pebble out of nowhere and threw it squarely at his fa

Frank was taking Kat out on a joyride in his Maserati.They had covered a lap around the outer reaches of Morhen and were returning to the cottage when he received Ned's call."Excuse me, Mr. Lawrence, but I would like to ask for a favor…" Ned asked right away.He certainly understood the true depth of Frank's abilities, now that even a famed healer like Abel Loggins was swooning over some traditional pill Frank took out so nonchalantly. Knowing that Frank was far more than what he seemed, Ned kept his tone as humble as possible."Ah, Mr. Ned Janko." Frank nodded on the other end. "What's the issue? Perhaps something unexpected happened, and my pill didn't work?"Beside Frank, Kat exclaimed in surprise, "Ned Janko? As in the second son of Ciril Janko, who's rumored to be gay?!"Smiling, she leaned away from Frank, as if deliberately keeping her distance."So that's how it is," she muttered under her breath. "That's why you're not interested in me… You're gay!""Shove it." Fra

Everyone was scowling harder especially when they saw Kat—a brat looking around, curious about everything around her.On the other hand, Ned did not hesitate and approached Frank right away."Welcome, Mr. Lawrence," Ned greeted Frank, while adding under his breath, "My answer to your proposal before… Please, you have to save my father.""Yeah." Frank flashed an assuring smile at him and clapped him on the shoulder.Kat smiled awkwardly when she saw that, and Frank shot her a sideways glare, knowing what was on her mind.Lothar chuckled heartily and greeted Frank as well. "So you must be the Mr. Lawrence that Ned has been talking about? May I have the honor of your name?"Frank nodded and replied neutrally, "Frank Lawrence.""Frank Lawrence…?" Lothar was disappointed inwardly since he had never heard of the name, but he hid it well.After Frank entered the mansion with both men, Abel returned.Yed had sent for him—he was keen to see if Ned's friend would actually walk his talk.
