The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 2385

Even as Ocean was left feeling helpless, Derek suddenly sat up on his bed and snapped, "If you say so!"

He was enfeebled due to his illness, but the color has returned to his cheeks, clearly a sign that he was healing!

"T-That's impossible!" Walt cried, staring at Frank in disbelief.

After all, he was the one who could have saved Derek, but how could he have done it so quickly?

Walt was simply unaware that with the power of the spiritron vein, Frank could treat a variety of illnesses in no time at all, and without medicine at that.

In fact, he was already doing it as soon as he entered Derek's room.

Derek had even regained consciousness, but he was also eager to see how Frank would handle this conflict and pretended to stay asleep.

And now that Walt had confessed to his crime directly, Derek had no reason to play dead—he had to put that geezer in his place!

Shaking his head, he sighed, "My dear granduncle… I didn't think that you'd go so far as to try to kill me! Was there even a meaning to this?"

"I-It's for the sake of our family's future!" Walt snapped stubbornly.

Derek smirked, nodding. "You're right. You are thinking about the family's future, but while your thoughts are justified, what about your actions? You'd inevitably lead our family to doom—like Ocean has put it, our best shot at turning things around is with wealth, not schemes!

"With money, we could open doors that were close to us before, and doors that allow us to change our path if necessary. The path you're leading us always leads to doom, not to mention that it is completely pointless."

Walt shrugged and started to threaten Derek instead, still convinced that he had a hand to play!

"I have nothing else to say," he growled. "But you'd better think about this—if you kill me, you'd be suspected of consorting with the enemy."
