The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1885

Alba was naturally considering his stance regarding Frank, just as he knew that slandering Frank would work in his family's favor.

Moreover, they must never let the governor find out about all the dirty deeds committed within Quill Manor. Be it taking the soldiers' families hostages, forcing Eric Holt into suicide, or even how Alba himself refused to acknowledge Frank…

If the governor ever confirmed that, there would be a drastic change of fortunes for the Quill family, not to mention that the governor's wrath was not something any of them could survive.

As such, everyone in Quill Manor now had the same thought—they were the progenies of the governor, so what right did those filthy peasants have to enjoy the same privilege they had?

None.

Such was the prejudice that came with the privilege that intoxicated the Quill family. They thought themselves lofty, and that they had to prove their status through oppression.

In fact, every member of the Quill family felt such a sense of superiority that the mere presence of an outsider ruined it for them. They would even band together just to oust—or kill—that insolent outsider and deceive the governor just so that he would side with them.

That was the only way they could keep fooling the governor and continue enjoying their life of privilege.

Though it was an opinion every member of the family shared, Alba and Megan remained the variables that could affect their glorious purpose.

It certainly left Alba in a dilemma—should they choose their privilege or stand up for Frank? They certainly felt an immense debt toward Frank for saving Megan too…

Seeing that everyone else in the room was silent, Megan frowned and asked, "Dad? What are you talking about?"

Eventually, Alba sighed softly and asked his daughter a leading question. "What do you think about Frank Lawrence?"
