Chapter 349
The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage
Kim looked over Frankâs shoulder just then. âDid you lose all your chips, Mr. Lawrence? I still have someâwhy donât you take mine?â
Frank promptly threw up his hands. âIâm fine. I was just playing for fun.â
âWhat are you doing here, Kim?â someone suddenly asked.
A man in a suit had arrived, and Frank realized it was Jan upon a closer look.
Jan in turn feigned surprise when he saw him. âFrank Lawrence? Didnât expect to see you here.
âJan is the host of this party,â Kim explained.
Frank frowned in turnâhe did not know this was the Yaffe familyâs turf.
Jan turned toward Kim at that. âCome on, Kim. Letâs meet some of my other friends.â
âNo,â Kim said quietly. âI donât know who they are anyway.â
âCome on, youâre the main character today,â Jan pressed. âAnd having more friends opens more doors.
As my future bride, thereâs no harm in meeting my friends.â
Kim glanced at Frank and sighed exasperatedly. âFine.â
Jan turned and smiled at Frank too. âPlease enjoy yourself too, Mr. Lawrence. Just ask me if thereâs anything you needâIâll definitely do my best to help.â
Frank could see the ill intent in his smile.
He had the feeling that Jan was going to mess with him already, just as he really doubted the Yaffe family would stop after he killed Seth and crippled Kunoâs cultivation.
However, he was in no rushâhe just had to foil whatever was thrown his way.
He had just headed to the buffet area to get something to eat, when a pretty waitress in a dirndl approached him. âExcuse me, Mr. Lawrence?â
âYes?â Frank replied coolly.
She smiled. âWould you come to the second floor? Mr. Yaffe would like to see you.â
Frank chuckled coolly. âLead the way.â
He followed the waitress upstairs to a private room, and she smiled. âPlease wait for a moment. Mr.
Yaffe will be here soon.â
Frank nodded and entered to find everything inside a mess, with countless expensive antiques in pieces.
Frowning, he took a chair and sat down, while subtly pulling out his cellphone to turn on the voice recorder.
He was actually interested to see what Jan was going to do!
Jan hurried inside the room in under ten minutes. âIâm so sorry for keeping you waiting, Mr. Lawrence.â
âLetâs skip the formalities,â Frank said nonchalantly. âOut with it already.â
Jan nodded and smiled. âHow direct of you, Mr. Lawrenceâin that case, Iâll just cut to the chase: the Earthen Dragonheart you took from the White family is very valuable to us. Would you mind parting with it?â
âNo.â Frank refused right away. âAnd if thatâs all you have to ask, thereâs nothing more to say between us.â
Jan sprang to his feet right then and stopped him. âHold it. We havenât repaid you for what you did to us before.â
âWhat?â Frank returned coolly. âIt seems that you Yaffes arenât happy⦠Are you going to attack me now?â
Jan was gritting his teeth as he glared at Frank. âIâll admit that youâre impressive, but donât think thatâs enough to save you against my family and Flying Sword Sect.â
