The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu -
Chapter 849
Once word got out that the Lionhearts were conspiring to assassinate the head of one of the FourFamilies of Morhen, their reputation would be dealt a serious blow. It went without saying that itwould be much worse than Sif's troubles at Norsedam!
As such, Sif was now afraid to breathe a peep.
If she somehow exposed herself now, forget Ciril—even her own family elders would skin her for thesheer vileness of her plot!
Soon, Morhen would be left in chaos as it was every man for himself, while even the Lionheartswould replace themselves desperate.
"N-No, sir," Sif quickly said humbly. "I came here to deliver an invitation—my brother Titus will bemarrying Vicky Turnbull in a few days, and your family is cordially invited to attend the ceremony.”"Hmph. Yet another arranged marriage?" Ciril chuckled coolly and waved her off. "I understand. Youmay go now."
"I'm fine," he said, before looking up at Ned with a contented smile, clapping him on the shoulder."You've done well, Ned. I was right about you—I'm satisfied with what you've done, to say the least.""Father..." Ned shook his head guiltily and sighed. "Yed is right... I'm useless. If it wasn't for Mr.Lawrence's help, I'd be—"
"Don’t take away credit from yourself now!" Ciril laughed heartily. "You understand how important itis to rely on others, to have faith and gamble—that's wisdom in its own right! Just look at me andyour Uncle Lothar. We both started out with nothing... But now, even the Lionhearts are tiptoeingaround us!"
"Yeah..." Ned smiled and nodded, his face lighting up with confidence again.
"Haha! Good... Now help me up!"
As Ned and Lothar helped Ciril up to his feet, holding one arm each, Ciril turned toward Frank withyet another hearty laugh. "Thank you so much, Mr. Lawrence. I heard you're both a formidablefighter and a skilled healer..."
Beside Ciril, Lothar could tell what his brother was going to say and quickly whispered into his ear,"Hold on, brother. The boy is Donn Lawrence in the flesh—I'm sure of it."
"Huh?"
Ciril's pupils dilated, and he paused, clearing his throat.
Suddenly, he was looking at Frank as if Frank was an equal. "Mr. Lawrence, you've saved my life andthe legacy I've built. I hence announce that my family shall now pull out from the race to becomeone of the Four Families of Morhen."
