The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1369

"You can think of it that way!"

Edon dispensed with disguises right then, whipping out a gleaming machete from behind himself and thrusting it into the table before him.

Glaring at Frank, he barked, "You'd better tell the truth, or you're not leaving this house!"

"Pfft…" Lubor snickered even as the air in the room tensed.

"What are you laughing at?!" Edon snapped in annoyance.

He threatened Frank exactly because he did not want Lubor to win.

If they could save Jaden by doing whatever Frank did, they would not have to give up the chief of the Martial Alliance to Hundred Bane Sect.

They would not wrong the Martial Alliance and certainly would not give Hundred Bane Sect leverage against themselves.

However, if Edon thought of that, Lubor certainly could.

"Like I said, Edon, the Soulbleeder is a novelty of Hundred Bane Sect. No one can neutralize it aside from the elders of Hundred Bane Sect."

He scoffed, glancing at Frank in disdain. "Obviously, that brat is fine because he was never poisoned in the first place—he was just pretending to be poisoned in that duel."

"What…"

Edon was left scowling at Lubor's quip, but it made sense.

They had spent a fortune hiring every healer from Norsedam and the east coast to save Jaden. Even so, they could not fully cure him and could only keep him in a state of suspended animation with copious amounts of natural wonders, just to stop the poison from spreading.

What could Frank do anyway?
