The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1995

After that, Frank pressed Geon for further details, but it turned out that he really did not know much.

The only thing certain was that the Lionhearts had pressured him into assisting Carlo Group to distract Frank. However, Geon had no idea what they were doing after that, as they had not contacted him since.

Before Frank left, he remembered something else. "By the way, did you kidnap Stanley Durban's wife and daughter?"

That was what Stanley had told him in that rundown temple in the mountains.

He also claimed that Geon had stripped him off actual power by taking hostages, and Frank would really like to confirm that himself.

"What?"

To Frank's surprise, Geon was left exceedingly perplexed, even scratching his head. "Stanley? It's been half a year since I saw him. As for his wife and daughter… I didn't even know he had a daughter."

Frank did a double take—Geon did not appear to be lying, and Frank sensed confusion instead of guilt.

Still, Frank pressed, "But he's the mayor, and he's been gone for six months. The administration—"

"I've been taking care of it in his stead." Geon nodded. "I mentioned it to the higher-ups, and they have ordered me to take over his duties for the time being. I have no idea where Stanley went either."

"Now that's strange."

Frank frowned slightly—so there was something suspicious about Stanley too.

Nonetheless, just as he was about to leave, Geon panicked, clinging to his sleeve as he cried, "M-Mr. Lawrence… The Lionhearts would definitely come after me now that I've told you everything! I need your protection, even if it's just for a few days—in that time, I will resign as commissioner and leave Draconia!"
