The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1954

"Did you really think you're such a big deal?!"

Even now, Stanwick's pompous insult before he died still rang in Silverbell's ears.

Moreover, Silverbell understood that although her position carried authority, she was at best a chess piece, in a game where multiple factions fought for political dominance.

Since there were not many matters she could involve herself with, she longer felt tied down.

She left with the elders without so much as looking back, although she subtly gave Frank's hand a squeeze when she walked past him.

As for the elder who had just warned Silverbell, he was stroking his beard and smiling as he announced, "I hereby announce in the chief's stead that Riverton's qualifying berths are forfeited, in light of the branch manager disguising an Ascendant-ranked elite to insert him in a Birthright-rank qualifier.

"The two forfeited berths would instead be made available to Zamri participants only."

Silverbell paused for a moment when she heard the announcement but soon continued onward like nothing happened.

The elder's announcement had a simple intent—everything would be blamed on a dead person, and the entire issue was hence concluded.

Then, the elder pointed at Heartfar, who was now not the man he once was.

"Take him away!" he bellowed. "The Martial Alliance shall punish him severely for his actions!"

"Yes, sir!"

Several Martial Alliance members strode up and carried Heartfar away like he was a limp dog.

However, Frank could still see the venomous spite in Heartfar's eyes before they left and lip read the words Heartfar was mouthing at him.

"This isn't over yet! Just you wait!"
