The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 811

Frank glanced sideways at Ned, though he had more or less an idea of what Ned was up to.

"I'm proposing a partnership, Mr. Lawrence. Help me topple my brother and claim leadership overthe family, and you can have anything you care to mention, be it money, fame, or women."

To no surprise, Ned was trying to recruit Frank, which left Frank in an awkward situation.

If he was being honest, Ned certainly did not appear to be some two-bit thug. A friendship wouldbenefit Frank, but the problem was that Frank did not come to Morhen to start one fight afteranother.

He had come to replace out what happened to Vicky Turnbull... though Frank's eyes lit up at thethought.

"Mr. Janko, I'd like to ask... Do you think your family stands a chance against the Turnbulls or theLionhearts?"

"The Turnbulls or the Lionhearts?" Ned did a double take and lowered his head in thought beforefrowning. "Well, we won't fear the Turnbulls since they are all just business people, and they tend tobe wary about their company... But the Lionhearts might prove to be a problem. With Volsung Sectbacking them, they'd always have the last laugh if they were to go to war against us Jankos.However, we'd most definitely tear our pound of flesh from them at the very least.”

Looking Frank in the eye, he asked hesitantly, "Are you saying that you're on bad terms with theTurnbulls and the Lionhearts?"

"I did have a little quarrel with the Lionhearts,” Frank admitted quietly.

"A little quarrel...?"

Ned chuckled, shaking his head. "Then my reputation will prove useful here. The Lionhearts wouldtiptoe around my family enough to refrain from coming after you.”

He then paused before asking in curiosity, "So what's this quarrel between you and the Lionhearts,Mr. Lawrence?"

Frank kept a straight face as he said, "I forced Titus Lionheart to give up on his fiancee.”

"What?!" Ned was left gaping, flabbergasted.

The rumors that Titus had been binge drinking and depressed after returning from Riverton nowcertainly made sense!

So Frank was from Riverton... And he compelled Titus to give up on his fiancee?

As the pieces fell into place, a dangerous idea struck Ned.

Clearing his throat, he asked a little awkwardly, "M-Mr. Lawrence... Could you be interested in saidfiancee?"

"More or less." Frank shrugged.

His bluntness left Ned dropping on his rear.

A little quarrel? Was Frank really describing forcing Titus to give up on his fiancee a little quarrel?!The son of a gun was basically cucking the heir apparent of the Lionhearts!

Hell, forget Titus—no man would be able to stand that!

Ned pursed his lips just then

If Frank was really going through with it, even the Jankos would not be able to bail him out, and itwould be even more difficult if Ned himself was appointed as the next head of the family.

Still, Ned thought things through and sighed.

Before he could speak, however, his phone started to ring.

Frank nodded at him, and Ned headed over to a quiet corner to answer it.

When he returned, he appeared anxious. "My brother just called—my father has been poisoned. Ihave to go... I guess we'll have to discuss our partnership some other time."

"Wait." Frank frowned, seeing that Ned was ready to leave. "Your father was poisoned? What are hissymptoms?"
