The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 2113

As everyone laughed even harder, Tigris nudged Lara with his elbow, saying pointedly, "You gotta keep an eye out, or Mr. Frankton would be stolen soon."

Lara did not appear to worry, however, and ignored him as she turned to Frank. "May I ask for a favor after we're done here?"

"What is it?" Frank asked in curiosity.

Lara brandished her phone. "It's not me—it's Mr. Chand. He owes his current success to a certain person, and that person has suddenly taken ill. He's hoping that you'll help with their treatment!"

Frank was not sure how to react. "Why didn't he call me directly?"

Lara shrugged. "You'd have to ask Mr. Chand about that!"

Frank nodded in silence, since this meant he had a chance to peek into Jason Chand's secret.

The next day, the construction team arrived and worked for the day. Once the load structures were complete, Sylvie led the expedition down to the tomb again, moving more artifacts.

They were more or less done by evening, and Sylvie was wiping sweat as she walked up to Frank. "Your work will be done once we load the artifacts on the vehicles. Who knows when we'll see each other again?"

Frank smiled. "You're kidding. We'll have all the time in the world to meet."

Sylvie smiled in silence but had clearly made up her mind.

That was when a crowd of over two hundred showed up nearby and soon encircled the expedition team.

They were all locals, carrying farming tools while glaring at them coolly.

Lara moved up to Frank, asking in confusion, "What's going on here? Why are they doing this?"

Frank did not appear surprised and gestured with his chin.

Lara turned and saw a fat man in a suit striding out of the crowd, who barked at the expedition team, "Listen up! You found those artifacts in our village, so you should leave them here with us! You don't get to take them away!"
