The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 811

Frank glanced sideways at Ned, though he had more or less an idea of what Ned was up to.

"I'm proposing a partnership, Mr. Lawrence. Help me topple my brother and claim leadership over the family, and you can have anything you care to mention, be it money, fame, or women."

To no surprise, Ned was trying to recruit Frank, which left Frank in an awkward situation.

If he was being honest, Ned certainly did not appear to be some two-bit thug. A friendship would benefit Frank, but the problem was that Frank did not come to Morhen to start one fight after another.

He had come to find out what happened to Vicky Turnbull… though Frank's eyes lit up at the thought.

"Mr. Janko, I'd like to ask… Do you think your family stands a chance against the Turnbulls or the Lionhearts?"

"The Turnbulls or the Lionhearts?" Ned did a double take and lowered his head in thought before frowning. "Well, we won't fear the Turnbulls since they are all just business people, and they tend to be wary about their company… But the Lionhearts might prove to be a problem. With Volsung Sect backing them, they'd always have the last laugh if they were to go to war against us Jankos. However, we'd most definitely tear our pound of flesh from them at the very least."

Looking Frank in the eye, he asked hesitantly, "Are you saying that you're on bad terms with the Turnbulls and the Lionhearts?"

"I did have a little quarrel with the Lionhearts," Frank admitted quietly.

"A little quarrel…?"

Ned chuckled, shaking his head. "Then my reputation will prove useful here. The Lionhearts would tiptoe around my family enough to refrain from coming after you."

He then paused before asking in curiosity, "So what's this quarrel between you and the Lionhearts, Mr. Lawrence?"

Frank kept a straight face as he said, "I forced Titus Lionheart to give up on his fiancee."

"What?!" Ned was left gaping, flabbergasted.

The rumors that Titus had been binge drinking and depressed after returning from Riverton now certainly made sense!
