The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1145

Vicky breathed a sigh of relief when Frank appeared, but Jet and the other Turnbull blackguards were immediately snapping at him.

"What have you been doing, Frank Lawrence?!"

"Why weren't you protecting Ms. Turnbull?! What were you doing down there by yourself?!"

Frank was so shocked by their accusations that his vigor churned, aggravating his blood and causing him to cough out a mouthful of blood.

"Are you alright, Frank?!" A petrified Vicky hurried to his side before wheeling on Jet and the other Turnbull blackguards with a furious glare.

"How many times do I have to tell you?!" she bellowed. "Frank was fighting one of the Lionhearts' best, and none of you helped him! And you're now snapping at him after he won?!"

"Forgive me, Ms. Turnbull, but we're supposed to prioritize your safety," Jet replied, frowning and clearly upset that Frank was alive.

In fact, Frank vaguely sensed his look of disappointment when he stepped out of the elevator.

"Heh. Well, that's not important." Frank gestured at Vicky that he could stand on his own and strode up to Jet. "So? Did you find the evidence?"

"Nope," Jet replied, as if it made perfect sense.

Frank's rage flared again—he had the sense that Clarity's information was on the money.

Vicky, however, was furious after she heard everything and seized Jet by the collar. "Why?! Why do you need to protect me so badly?!"

Jet remained impassive. "Because it's impossible to save your father now. But if we save you, there's still a chance to make peace with the Lionhearts."

Vicky was left stumbling backward, smiling blankly and in disbelief. "So you're saying that the Turnbulls should heel to the Lionhearts, and I must marry Titus Lionheart just to earn their forgiveness?"

"You're exaggerating, Ms. Turnbull." Jet shook his head. "We're not dogs heeling to the Lionhearts. It's a partnership—we Turnbulls have never been good at a fight, and cooperating with the Lionhearts is our only way to survive. More than half the elders are convinced of that."

Vicky snapped right then and started laughing out loud.
