The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



Yosil was willing to take in Frank as a promising talent, and he would deal with Kairo and the others according to the usual process.

But now, with Kairo bringing up the bet between him and Frank, things became delicate.

If Frank were to admit defeat today, kneel, and even lick Kairo's shoe, he might never lift his head again.

The psychological impact on Frank could be devastating. It could potentially hinder his future focus on medicine and become a haunting obstacle to his growth.

And these were just the factors affecting Frank. If Yosil forcefully recruited him, the older man would also have to face the brutal reality that an apprentice of Kornac's Keep had knelt to an apprentice of Cloudnine Sect and even licked his shoes.

Just the reputation of this spreading would be unbearable for Yosil, let alone the other elders of Kornac's Keep. The running of Kornac's Keep was not a dictatorship, and Yosil was not the sole elder in charge. So, anything that damaged Kornac's Keep's reputation would be vehemently opposed by the elders.

After careful consideration, Yosil looked at Kairo and advised, "Kairo, Frank is already heavily poisoned and in a fragile state. Your bet was just a joke, wasn't it?

"Didn't you just say that asking a man who is on the brink of death to kneel and lick your shoe would bring bad luck?"

"Oh, Chief, you don't understand." Kairo narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Joke aside, bets are meant to be honored. Though I didn't explicitly say Frank had to kneel and lick my shoe, I was sincere and made such an oath. Shouldn't he honor it too?"

"That's..." Faced with Kairo's persistence, Yosil was at a loss for words.From NôvelDrama.Org.

"Sincere?" Just then, Frank smirked coldly. "Your name is Kairo, right?"

Frank glanced at Kairo and calmly said, "If this pill can cure the poison in my body and I score higher than you, will you really honor the agreement?"

"Of course!" Kairo smirked confidently. "I've always been a man of my word. But isn't it a bit late to bring this up now?"

Kairo was irritated that Frank did not even remember his name, and he intensified the pressure on Frank. This guy clearly did not respect him, and Kairo felt compelled to teach him a lesson today!

"Alright!"

Just as Kairo grinned sinisterly, intending to make Frank kneel and lick his shoe, Frank nodded and swiftly took the black pill from Yosil's hand.

He tilted his head back and swallowed it in one gulp.

Seeing Frank actually swallow the pill, Kairo furrowed his brow slightly.

Why had this kid not admitted defeat yet? Even Yosil had concluded that this pill would not help to cure the poison in Frank's body.

Surely the castellan was not mistaken, right?

Kairo glanced subtly at Yosil.

Yosil was also frowning. He looked like he wanted to say something but only managed a helpless sigh.

If this pill did not work for Frank, he would lose a grounds and have no choice but to admit defeat to Kairo And Kair had made it clear that to ensure Frank honored the bet, he would not hesitate to leverage the background of Cloudnine Sect.

This move was a clear indication that Kairo was dead serious about teaching Frank an unforgettable lesson.
