The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1586

Jade's hysterics left Frank impatient, and he raised his other hand to slap her across the face, snapping, "Listen closely! I didn't kill your daughter—someone's trying to frame me! Now tell me what happened before Luna died, and I might catch the killer sooner!"

"I…"

The slap actually knocked some sense into Jade, and she wheezed, "Luna… was with that boy named Borc Zomer. After that, she called me for help, and… And…"

Frank released Jade right then and wheeled on Peter, who flinched right then, with a sharp glare.

"We tried to stay with her, but Luna refused to let us come along, and she…"

He trailed off, sighing in frustration. "She snapped at me and the rest of my boys, calling us slaves and bitches, even Helen…"

"I can vouch for Mr. Lane's testimony."

Another security guard scowled as he strode up, growling through clenched teeth, "That woman really doesn't know what's good for her! We reasoned with her, telling her not to go anywhere alone with that man, but she called us names and told us we had no right to meddle, including you…"

The security trailed off, though Frank could tell what he meant from his hesitation and anger.

"Well, that's the long and short of it." Peter sighed exasperatedly. "We had no choice but to wait in the hallway, and by the time we heard her screaming and crying for help, it was too late."

Pointing at the open window with flapping curtains, Peter added, "The brat bailed by the time we kicked down the door. There's only voice recordings of Luna's scream, but we never even heard him torturing her or anything…"

Frank glanced at the window.
