The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1394

"I made a mistake?! Impossible!" The elderly man with a steel mask covering half his face exclaimed in shock.

At the same time, a hint of impatience showed on Frank's face. "Sir, didn't I already give up on the spiritron vein a month ago? Was that the reason why you kidnapped my people to lure me here again?"

"Your people?"

The elder snorted and snapped quietly, "They are members of Haply Hall. Whenever did they become your people?"

"That's bullshit, Great Gramps!"

Mona yelled despite being tied up, "I told you before—I'm leaving Haply Hall! I'm no longer a part of your cabal!"

"Hmph!" The elder snorted. "Did you think that Haply Hall is a place you can come and go as you please?"

"Yes! Bleh!" Mona retorted, even sticking her tongue out at him.

The air around the elder stirred restlessly, and Frank could actually see him blinking.

"Oh, Grand Elder, you shouldn't stoop to the brat's level."

Aion smiled awkwardly before turning toward Frank. "Uh… Long time no see, kid."

"What is this comedic routine for, really?" Frank sighed, rubbing his temples.

Aion promptly rambled, "Hehe… So you see, kid, we heard that a spiritron vein fell into your hands, and we at Haply Hall were the first to know. That's why, to protect you—"

Frank frowned. "Stop being condescending. I'm not a child."

"Huh…"

Aion glanced awkwardly at the elder, clearing his throat before saying shortly, "Yeah, Haply Hall wants the spiritron vein too. That's about it."

"That geezer is a real seer, Master Lawrence!"
