The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 2417

"Nasty, you say?"

Jada smiled in wry amusement. "My master is even more so. Now talk!"

Aina spilled the beans right then, since she had no stake in this anyway.

The next morning, Frank arrived with the artifacts at a village called Zurtborg.

He stood before a millstone that had not seen use for a while, straightening his clothes and putting down several suitcases while waiting quietly for Elizabeth's arrival.

He did not assume Aina's appearance simply because Aina did not want trouble with Elizabeth, which was why she used a go-between.

That spared Frank the need to disguise himself as a woman, as he assumed the appearance of Elizabeth's assistant.

However, while he was waiting, a man and a woman came bounding down the road, with the man smacking the woman repeatedly with a shovel as he chased her down.

Even though the woman was crying for help, the villagers in sight simply rubbernecked.

Frank smirked, but he knew he could not fault the villagers for being callous. They were refraining from meddling in another family's matter, not to mention that they might get caught in a misunderstanding and even get chased out of the village.

That did not apply to Frank, however, as he did not live here, and intervening was really no issue.

That was why he did not hesitate to stride up, stopping the man and snapping coolly, "Pick on someone your own size. Do you feel like a man, beating up your own woman?"

The man snorted. "What's it to you?! This is my family's business!"

"Your family's business?" Frank growled coolly. "In this day and age? What, is she your slave or something?"

And with that, he sent the man flying with a kick!

That only left the man furious, and he bellowed, "What's that supposed to mean?! Did you really think that I'd be scared?!"

He and his friends promptly charged at Frank right then, ready to kill, when an elderly man strode up and barked, "What's this, bullying a visitor?! Grow a pair and fight him fairly—what do you think it looks like, ganging up on him?!"

The man and his friends stopped right then, as the elderly man was Will Zurt, a respected elder in the village whom none of them dared to mess with.

Even so, the man strode up and argued, "It's not like we want to gang up on him—he's just that despicable! Just think about it: I'm handling my own family matters! What right does he have to meddle?!"

Will simply snorted. "Why shouldn't he? You were ready to hit your wife—and you're a fortyish man at that! Can't you act your age at once?!"

The man, Hadron, sighed in exasperation. "So I just have to let it slide?!"

"Let it slide? No. It's your punishment!" Will smirked. "Now fuck off, or I'll do the same to you!"
