The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 1388

Name-dropping Chet proved very effective, as terror quickly showed on the faces of the Favoni martial artists.

They knew very well what the head of the family was like, and if Chet would say something like that, Frank was far more powerful than what they imagined. Considering how they were circling around Frank and challenging him so childishly, many of them were sweating all over their brow.

"Go. We're taking Lubor back to Favoni House," Edon said.

"Yes, sir."

The Favoni martial artists finally gave in as they realized what Frank really meant to their clan.

Meanwhile, Frank could not care less about what the Favoni martial artists thought, as Silverbell was his only concern. "Are you alright?" Silverbell only appeared troubled that Frank came back for her. "Aren't you upset with me for stealing Helen and Vicky's spiritron vein?" "What are you saying?"

Frank chuckled, speaking softly as he gathered her in his arms. "Did you think I wouldn't know what you're thinking? You were creating a diversion to keep me safe from the champions of Draconia coming after the spiritron vein. At the moment, I don't have the strength to hold on to it, and overreaching would only paint a target on our heads."

Even as she felt his warm touch and picked up his comforting scent, Silverbell could not stop her tears.

She did not even shed a teardrop when Lubor was ready to force himself on her, but she was crying now...

"I was so scared, Frank..."

"It's alright," Frank said, patting her on the back to comfort her. "I'm here now. I won't let something like this happen to you again." "Yeah..."

Silverbell nodded despite her pain and pulled away, painstakingly pointing at her own chest. "I have something for you." "Eh?"

Frank glanced at the inconspicuous necklace over Silverbell's chest with a white nail-sized bone attached.

It looked like a bone from some animal, and it was hidden so well that Frank would never have noticed it if Silverbell never pointed it out. "What's that...?" he murmured.

Silverbell looked up just then, appearing at once troubled and delighted. "It's the spiritron vein, Frank-I kept it, and almost died trying." "The spiritron vein?"

Frank felt as if a scorpion just stung him-having the spiritron vein was no different from carrying a time bomb!

As if sensing his misgivings, a sly smile showed on Silverbell's pale face. "I switched the spiritron vein with a fake... This is the real one, and I lost all my men because of that." Smiling at Frank, she then murmured, "Take it."

"What?"

Frank was left staring at her awkwardly at her request, since he would have to reach under her clothes... "Pfft..."

Silverbell giggled when she saw his embarrassment. "Back at Sage Lake Sect, didn't you already-" Silverbell stopped herself abruptly, and she could feel her cheeks burning from exposing herself. "Sage Lake Sect?!"

Frank almost jumped.

They met for the first time in many years back then, and to cure her poisoning, Frank had to...

And she knew?!

Noticing his shock and embarrassment, Silverbell leaned on Frank as she murmured softly, "I-I'm already yours, Frank... That's why it's fine."
