The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1880

There was clear disappointment in Governor Quill's eyes as he watched his fiftyish son stammer, unable to finish a coherent sentence.

Unbeknownst to him, Saul was merely afraid to face him because of his own misdeeds.

"Grandfather."

Nonetheless, even as silence ensued, a voice that was clearly hiding panic spoke from behind Gero.

It was none other than Rex himself.

Cara was almost petrified at the sight of her son standing out at this delicate moment. "Are you crazy, Rex?! What are you doing?!"

It was clear that the governor was very furious at the moment and basically interrogating Saul as if his crime was proven.

Would her son not be presenting himself in the governor's crosshairs if he spoke up now?!

And unsurprisingly, Cara saw Governor Quill glaring coldly at her son, his eyes judgmental and devoid of the warmth he afforded Frank. "Rex, was it? Gero's son? Do you understand what you're doing?"

The pressure from Governor Quill's glare left Rex nervous, and he actually thought of backing down.

However, for the sake of becoming the governor, he eventually gritted his teeth and straightened himself, forcing himself to meet his grandfather's glare while bellowing, "Yes, I do!"

"Hmm."

Governor Quill narrowed his eyes interestedly at Rex's words, while Frank turned toward him as well.

He had heard Cara and recognized that the bespectacled, seemingly mild-mannered man was Rex, the one whom Tim Cox had said was trying to kill the governor!

In other words, Rex's accusation of Frank was no different from charging into a tornado—and slapping his grandfather in the face, from a certain point of view.

If his accusation was found to be false, he would be subject to punishment, and even Frank's revenge!

"Frank deceived me?!"

Nonetheless, the governor's brow furrowed, his tone turning hostile. "Rex, do you understand the consequences of slander?"

"Of course I do," Rex replied, working hard to straighten himself and feign confidence.

On the other hand, Frank was finding this amusing. "I deceived Grandfather? Why don't you explain how I did that, Mr. Quill?"

After all, he had no grudge against Rex, just as he had never deceived the governor.
