The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 1093

Gene had his hunches before, but all his doubts were erased thanks to Frank's hint as he realized who the culprit was.

He had no heirs, so he wrote a will early on, stating that both Zorn and Rory would jointly inherit his estate.

"Rory Thames... Zorn Woss..." Gene's face contorted in rage even as he clenched his fist.

He already had the feeling that Zorn and Rory were more than 'close', and if anything, they should be hostile against each other over his estate if he died.

Weirdly however, they were even more friendly than before, showing no signs of discord.

Gene thought that they were trying to keep things peaceful for his sake before his death, but now the whole thing was simply suspicious.

He certainly did not want to admit it, but he was now dead sure that those two were working together to kill him for his money!

Frank could see various expressions alternating over Gene's face, and he could see that the man had realized who the culprit was.

He certainly did not need to say anything else he had warned Gene so that he would not presume it was Frank's fault if he suffered a relapse. "Alright, Mr. Pearce," he said. "Let's put that thought aside for the moment I'll get rid of the worms inside you now. Health comes first, no?" Gene nodded in exasperation.

He was ready to call his men to restrain Rory and Zorn, but Frank brought him to his senses.

Reaching out feebly, he grasped Frank's hands gratefully and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lawrence. This is one debt that can't be repaid."

Frank shook his head and took out a jet-black pill from his pocket, speaking quietly, "This is a bugkiller that I refined when I had free time. It's risky, but you can take it so that I can tell which species this Chestburster is."

"Okay." Gene took the pill without hesitation.

Within minutes, he could feel a sharp agony from his stomach, as if he was going to be torn in half!

"M-Mr. Lawrence! My stomach... hurts..." He gasped through the pain.

Frank's fingers were feeling Gene's wrist artery, and he quickly identified the Chestburster from Gene's pulse.

"Ringeater, huh?" Frank's eyes sharply, and whipped out a couple of needles. "You're quite the bother, but you've run out of luck running into me!"

He infused his pure vigor into the needles and ran them into Gene's belly, forcing the Ringeaters to squirm and struggle.

Their movement caused bulges to appear over Gene's stomach, and it was a scene out of a horror movie!

Zorn happened to return to the presidential suite just then, a smug look on his face apparent.

That was when he saw Frank with Gene, but before he could ask anything, Rory pulled him over to a corner. "Over here! That brat is called Frank Lawrence, and he's treating Gene right now... I'm worried he'll replace out."

"Really?" Zorn remained calm in contrast to Rory's anxiety, even shaking his head and chuckling. "Rest assured I spent a fortune buying those worms from Morhen's black market. They are invisible killers-no one would replace them, let alone remove them. They'll eventually burst through their victim's chest. When Gene dies, people would be busy speculating what taboo he'd broken, and we'd fuel those speculations. No one would ever suspect us."

"When the time comes..."

Zorn then pulled Rory towards himself, grinning. "No one would ever come between the two of us."
