The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 922

"Good," Titus growled, his eyes narrowing. “In a week, our peoplestationed across the country can start their hostile takeover as everyTurnbull and family executive returns to their base."

Turning toward Sif, he said, "You'll be in charge of dealing with Frank.The success of our plans hinges on what happened next week... we'lljust have to resort to violence if there's any deviation again.”

After all, everything was Titus' idea, be it assimilating the Turnbulls orthe Jankos. Even if he was less talented than his younger brother Ehudin martial arts, his mind was far more formidable.

In fact, there was no chance that anyone could tell that his seethingreaction back at Turnbull House was faked. Not even Frank could hopeto read just what sinister intentions he harbored.

"Titus..."

Sif frowned at him just then, asking tentatively, "Are you sure you don'twant to punish Frank once I capture him? I mean, the things he andVicky were doing—that's an insult to you. Are you really not upset?"Titus calmly shook his head, folding his arms before his chest as Aesoplooked on approvingly.

“No, I'm not upset,” he said coolly. "For me, the outcome matters beforeall else, and as such, I don't see Vicky Turnbull as a woman. She'smore of a tool—a key. Once I have her, I'll have the disposition to claimeverything the Turnbulls ever owned when we wipe them out. Incontrast, do you think I care if she likes me, or if she hooked up withsomeone else? I won't mind even if she's pregnant with his child."While Sif found Titus’ reaction strange, Aesop was giving him a hugethumbs up. "There is no question that you will succeed as the heirapparent, Titus. Even Mr. Lionheart himself will be proud if he knowswhat you've put together.”

Even Sif had to be impressed that a single arranged marriage was soclosely connected in such a convoluted web of conspiracy.

"Frank Lawrence..." Titus narrowed his eyes. "I'm afraid you'll have todie..."

Frank could see that Glen was now sincere after seeing the Lionheartsleave.

He might only have a week to gather evidence, but Frank knew all toowell that if the Lionhearts wanted to proceed with their plan toassimilate the Turnbulls, they still needed the South Sea Crow.

After all, they needed her to eliminate the leaders of the Turnbullfamily... or Glen, at least.

That was why he just had to wait for the Lionhearts to make contactwith the South Sea Crow, who was really Ciaran Zobel, Frank's fellowapprentice from Mystic Sky Sect.

She had agreed to contact Frank right away if the Lionhearts reachedout to her again, and they could catch the Lionhearts with their pantsdown.

Once the Lionhearts' conspiracy was thoroughly exposed, the Turnbullswould not be able to weasel their way out, and Vicky would be free.Whatever happened between the Turnbulls and the Lionhearts was ofno concern to Frank at that point—he had no stake in a conflictbetween two illustrious families of Morhen.

But should the Turnbulls refuse to see reason and keep Vicky bound byher engagement even after Frank produced evidence, Frank wouldhave nothing to say at that point. He would simply join the South SeaCrow and massacre them as he promised before, and even Vicky couldnot stop him.

With that in mind, he said goodbye to Vicky for the time being and leftTurnbull House with his head held high.

As soon as he stepped outside the front gates, he found Ned Jankowaiting out.

He was actually surprised that Ned followed through with his promise tocrash the wedding if it was necessary.
