The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1747

"Damn it."

Frank could not move when he saw Horey holding the detonator with a vice-like grip, as he also spied a red flash under Gavin's clothes.

He would not get hurt by the bomb, but if he pushed Horey too far and she pressed the detonator, Gavin would not survive.

"Stop, Frank!" Helen cried out anxiously from the phone Horey dropped. "Do you hear me?! Stop! You're going to kill Uncle Gavin! He has to stay safe, you hear me?!

It only got Frank irritated, and he snapped, "Shut up!"

And with that, silence ensued.

"Mmm… Mmmph!!!"

Gavin's eyes widened as he glanced between Frank and the dropped phone in disbelief.

He started to struggle against his restraints, only to tip over and fall on the floor. Even so, his eyes were fixed on Frank, as if to tell Frank to kill Horey—to eliminate the threat and not worry about him!

Frank certainly noticed, but he gritted his teeth and shook his head. "N-No. I can't do that."

His conscience would not be clear if he had to sacrifice Gavin, whom he and Helen owed so much to, just to kill a cockroach like Horey.

"Hahaha…"

Seeing them arguing, Horey started laughing again. "Oh, Frank! Aren't you a man? Honestly, getting tripped up over some woman? Go on, kill me! I don't want to live anyway—the child inside me won't live without the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, and it's pointless for me to stay alive otherwise! And I certainly don't dislike the idea of taking a few heads as I go down!"
