The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1911

"Bleurgh…"

Frank almost coughed out his drink.

Seeing Phoenix's clearly passionate stare, he gritted his teeth as he decided to make things clear. "I heard you have a fiance, Ms. Ardron."

"Oh, him…"

Phoenix scowled at the mention of her fiance and whispered under her breath after a brief silence, "Josh and I don't have feelings for each other. It's a strictly tit-for-tat relationship."

"Wait, what?"

Frank was left speechless. Their relationship was theirs, so how was that his business… unless Phoenix wanted him to be the third wheel in their tit-for-tat relationship?

Still, seeing that Frank would ask something like that, Phoenix's smile faded slightly. She suddenly asked, "Mr. Lawrence, you like me, don't you?"

Frank was left speechless.

The question was so direct that Frank did not even have time to come up with a response when Phoenix sighed softly. "If you didn't like me, why would you give me the Martial Alliance's recommendation? What, did you really do it for the money?"

"Exactly. It's for the money."

Frank nodded repeatedly, building up on the excuse. "You've really misunderstood me here, Ms. Ardron."

However, Phoenix shook her head and smiled despite Frank's response. "You don't look poor, but I guess my fiance called you and threatened you?"

"Huh? How'd you—"

Frank caught himself before he could finish, knowing that he had messed up.

"I knew it!"

Phoenix growled through her teeth, her face ashen, "I've had enough of him keeping an eye on me 24/7! I'm a prodigy of Cloudnine Sect, and I won't keep suffering like this!"
