The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 2398

"Quit being so pessimistic, or I'd really be discouraged."

Frank snorted but stood up. "Come on already. I have nothing else to do anyway!"

Nonetheless, they were in Shanton two hours later, passing the police line and arriving at the dig site soon enough.

The dig team had been waiting for a while, their scowls quickly fading as they appeared hopeful to see Frank.

Someone exclaimed, "Mr. Frankton's here! This is as good as done, just watch!"

Another person promptly snapped, "Are you serious?! Do you think he can keep the hypogeum intact while the load-bearing structures are being set up?"

Everyone turned to stare at the youth named Ernest Lane, the son of the construction team's supervisor.

He had come to see if there was any work, only to be scared shitless when he heard that the hypogeum needed new load-bearing structures.

Everyone had a good laugh from that, which left him exceedingly frustrated.

Naturally, when Sylvie suggested bringing in someone who could help, he came to see who it could be… only for it to turn out to be some ordinary civilian, and hardly anyone impressive as Sylvie had put it.

And Sylvie certainly heard him. "You should watch your words, Mr. Lane, and we just might let you stay here. Insult my kid again, and I'll complain to the higher-ups about your sloppy work!"

Ernest frowned, but amusingly, his construction team were inexperienced and were not local on top of that. As they were not that knowledgeable, they had no idea that Shanton had more tombs than houses.
