The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1898

The old man then chuckled. "Phoenix Ardron is among the top three juniors of the Cloudnine Sect. But forget her personal merit—her fiance is even more outstanding! I mean, he's the commissioner of Hoxton despite his young age!"

"See?"

The old man pointed at the men-in-black who cleared a path for Phoenix, grinning. "Those men are all the Hoxton commissioner's boys, and they're all packing heat. Who would have the balls to beat her when a commissioner has her back?"

Clapping Frank on the shoulder and sighing miserably, he said, "So just forget it. We don't have a shot here."

"So she's Mrs. Commissioner, and the commissioner even sent backup?"

Frank was actually shocked—the woman had ties to the government too? Did that mean she had her finger in every pie?

And if someone actually dared to defeat her in the martial tournament, they would be in for a lot of trouble too…

"Make way!"

Just as Frank was frowning and wondering what he should do about Phoenix, her bodyguards just happened to reach him.

The one in the lead pompously reached out, shoving Frank out of the way and causing him to crease his brow further.

The bodyguard was pushing so hard that an average Joe would be knocked to the floor.

And with such a huge crowd around, it went without saying what was going to happen after.

In fact, just as Frank had expected, a youth who had his back to the bodyguards was caught off guard and knocked to the floor.

He was immediately trampled upon by the crowd, but the bodyguards continued onward pompously without a care.

Frank's expression turned cool as he looked on.

"Eh?"

The bodyguard shoving Frank suddenly gasped in surprise.
