The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 2247

"However, it's not like you have to reject all their offers," Alda continued, adding pointedly, "There are certainly goodies you can consider accepting."

Frank was not sure if he should laugh or cry. "Spare me. Having you is plenty enough for me."

Alda laughed. "No, I'm talking about Ms. Wal here."

Sylvie rolled her eyes.

While the trio were busy chatting, Jada received a call. She said after she hung up, "Mr. Frankton? There's someone named Hector Clet who's asking to see you. We know for a fact that he's the leader of a certain group.

"He has a curious connection with Sally York. He wasn't involved in her experiments, but he was the one who sent that pole-wielder!"

Frank smirked. "Show him in!"

"Yes, sir!"

Jada relayed Frank's words, and a receptionist led Hector upstairs.

He was humble throughout, bowing respectfully at Frank as soon as he entered the room. "Long time no see, Mr. Frankton. I was surprised to hear that you've acquired the entire Jaric family estate… You really are special, but one expects nothing less of the man chosen by the Shagan spiritron vein!"

Just as he finished, Jada was in front of him, seizing him by the neck.

"Stop!" Frank promptly snapped.

Jada released Hector but smirked. "You'd be dead if my master didn't stop me."

Hector could see that they were doing the good-cop, bad-cop routine but did not expose them, given Frank's power.

"Yes, yes… Thank you for your mercy," he said, ingratiating himself instead. "I'll never forget this—"

"Let's cut to the chase." Frank cut him short. "Tell me, why did you come to see me?"

Hector smiled right then, dodging the question to mention the good old days. "Do you remember that box I gave you? Have you used it?"
