The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 758

"However, you insolently slayed Zam Sorano, the head steward of the Sorano family, and incurred their wrath. Your fate is hence sealed."

Frank paused at Gus' words. "Zam Sorano? The geezer who barged into Noel York's house that night with Willy here?"

Gus stood, his hands clasped behind his back as he nodded. "Indeed."

"No, there's been a mistake." Frank shook his head. "I'll admit to slaying Hubert Sorano, because he disregarded my warnings and insulted me. But I didn't slay Zam Sorano."

"Hmm…?"

Gus appeared hesitant, raising a brow. "Well, Hubert is just some mistress' child. If it's just him, I have no reason to get involved…"

He could tell that Frank's rank was quite high and had no reason to lie given the circumstances.

"Shut up, Frank Lawrence!" Willy promptly yelled, afraid that the truth would be unraveled. "How naive are you, thinking that your lies could deceive Gus?"

"Believe what you want to," Frank replied, calmly shaking his head. "I only sent Zam Sorano flying but did not kill him—if his injuries had been tended to in time, he'd have survived."

"Quit your sophistry!" Willy bellowed. "And your five seconds are up—Ghent Loeb, kill Gavin Lane right now!"

"Stop!" Jade leapt forward, pleading, "Please, Mr. Sorano. It's all Frank's fault! Don't take it out on us—we're innocent!"

"So what if you are?!" Willy bellowed. "He's your in-law, and he resorted to deception while refusing to accept the punishment for his crimes! Do it, Ghent!"

"Stop!" a cold voice bellowed behind Willy just then.
