The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

While Gene had brought many martial artists with him, it would not be enough if Zorn was cornered he might even turn the tables and massacre them instead.

That was why Frank decided to remain behind alone.

He could not allow Gene to get killed, or acquiring those land lots would be a pipe dream.

Putting away his document folder, he quietly sneaked down the hallway.

Unsurprisingly, he found Zorn and Gene in a standoff outside the office.

Zorn could clearly sense the hostility against him but asked, "Mr. Pearce, you asked me to check Drenam Limited's numbers, didn't you? Why did you come here yourself and bring so many people?" On the other hand, Gene's men were trained well.

Even before Zorn noticed it, they had already moved to cut off all exits.

"Heh... Now that things have come to this, I'll just have to be frank with you, Zorn."

Gene was smiling even as his men helped him walk toward Zorn, but there was rage and disappointment in his eyes. "When did you start hooking up with Rory Thames?"

"What?! What are you talking about, Mr. Pearce?" Zorn exclaimed, clearly intent on denial even though his evasive gaze already sold him out.

Zorn!" Gene shook his head in anguish. "We've been brothers for years, weathering every kind of storm to reach where we are today. That's why you know better than me what I'm like-I wouldn't mind letting
