The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1371

Frank followed the Favonis to a smaller building to the back, and he could see Abel being surrounded by everyone even before he entered.

He stood on the edge of the group, refraining from greeting Abel since the two Favoni sentries before were watching him.

They only allowed Frank to wait instead of meddling.

After all, they were told that Jaden Favoni, the star of the family's younger generation, was now half-dead because of Frank.

Even if Frank had cleared his name and proved he was not some despicable poisoner, the Favonis still extended the blame to him.

And whatever the higher-ups said was naturally taken way more seriously by the minions, which was why these sentries were hostile toward Frank.

There were even Favoni martial artists who came, sizing up Frank to see if he really was that good. If anything, a fight would have started if those two sentries did not stop them.

As such, in contrast to the respect and humility afforded to Abel, Frank was kept on a tight leash, not even allowed to meet Abel directly.

"Frank Lawrence! Come fight me if you have the balls!" a bald Favoni martial artist bellowed at Frank just then.

"That's right! You're the reason Master Jaden is suffering! How do you sleep at night?!"

"Hah! Just look at that coward. He'd never accept our challenge!"

Frank was at first impassive despite the Favoni martial artists' yapping, but there was only that much a man could take.

As their insults got worse and resorted to personal attacks, he wheeled on them and bellowed, "Listen here! It's Stella Favoni's fault for attacking Lanecorp Tower at the Bearsons' goading in the first place! And then you people distorted the truth and slandered me, even challenging me to a duel!

"I accepted the challenge and proved my innocence, while exposing the Bearsons' conspiracy for all to see! And yet all you lowlives remained willingly ignorant and continued circle jerking! Challenge me?! Hah! Who do you think you are?!"
