The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1003

Seeing the look on her son's face, Mel promptly leapt to his defense.

"Why are you snapping at us, Kat? We're not the ones who hurt your dad," she reasoned, not forgetting to deflect. "Shouldn't you be asking who did this to your father?"

"Exactly," Matis quickly chimed in. "We're doing this out of the goodness of our hearts for your father's sake. We're concerned."

"We don't need your help or concern!" Kat retorted bluntly.

"Don't worry," Frank assured her quietly, having no choice just then. "I went to Sorano Estate myself yesterday. Willy will come to apologize personally today—he'd be dead if he doesn't."

"What?!"

Matis gaped but soon clapped Frank on the shoulder as he laughed.

"Oh, come on… you really should know when to give up!" He sneered while leering at Kat sympathetically. "See, Kat? Your guest can really make shit up… going to Sorano Estate and threatening Willy Sorano to apologize? He'd die if he didn't? Pfft…"

Matis started clapping sarcastically, clearly doubting Frank.

Even Kat actually thought Frank did not make sense—the Soranos were one of the Four Families of Morhen, and they had many powerful retainers under their command. While she knew that Frank was powerful, was he capable of storming Sorano Estate all on his own, even coercing Willy into apologizing?

It certainly sounded like a fantasy, and Frank had to say it solemnly as if he was not lying.

Sighing lengthily and forcing a smile, Kat said, "Master Lawrence, I know you're amazing… Don't worry. I won't hold my father's injury against you, and there's only so much that anyone can do. At least he's alive and recovering."
