The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 2177

Axel was promptly sweating buckets as his lips turned pale. "Please, Mr. Dutton! That's not what I mean."

One-Armed Dutton snorted coolly but flung Axel on the floor as he turned away. "You're really getting presumptuous lately, aren't you?"

Even as Axel climbed up, he was flattering One-Armed Dutton. "Don't worry, Mr. Dutton! I'll definitely change—you're all my bosses now!"

One-Armed Dutton smiled but said nothing else, just as a youth ran towards them, yelling, "Mr. Hamm! Lugh Frankton has arrived!"

At those words, everyone looked down the hill to see a Passat stopping there, with three women and one man alighting.

Goldilocks licked her lips and sighed in disappointment. "That's Lugh Frankton? Woah, he's such a looker… shame that you're going to rub that face in the dirt."

The hag snorted in annoyance. "Could you stop being such a skank? Quit falling for every man you meet, for starters."

The middle-aged man with a hawkish nose quickly reasoned, "It isn't Goldie's fault. Even I have to agree that the brat looks good."

On the other hand, the brat was laughing. "So what if he looks good? He definitely doesn't look like a martial elite to me. Farek, all your yapping is going to be exposed!"

Before Farek could argue, One-Armed Dutton snapped coolly, "What would you know?! That boy has an extraordinary physique. Even if he isn't like us, he's still one in a million—none of you would win against him if you fought him alone."

The brat appeared confused. "Are you kidding, boss? A brat like him can't be on our level!"

One-Armed Dutton simply smiled but said nothing, while Sally soon led Frank, Sadie, and Ida up to the hilltop platform.

"Everyone, I've brought him here," Sally then announced. "Now no one gets to argue whatever the outcome is. You threw down the gauntlet, so you'll just have to see it through."

The middle-aged man laughed icily. "What's that supposed to mean? Do you really think we can't beat him? Sorry to disappoint you, but he isn't even fit to lick our shoes!"

Then, he turned toward Sadie and Ida. "As for the both of you… you should know that you'll pay for your treachery!"

While both women were uncomfortable from the middle-aged man's stare, Sadie smirked. "Quit trying to scare us! As long as our master is around, there's no telling who's going down!"
