The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Soon, Ace woke up.

He struggled to his feet when he saw Frank, knowing that he lost. "Greetings, Mr. Frankton. Please forgive me for sneaking around, but I was mostly trying to test your abilities. And now, it seems that you're the only one who can protect me."

Frank could already tell that Ace had gone through all that trouble for a reason. He asked, "Who's after you?"

Ace shook his head. "That can wait. Aren't you interested in undoing the curse of the spiritron vein, and then leaving Shagan?"

Frank smiled—that was exactly what he was waiting for. "And what's your solution?"

"It exists, but I can't tell you more than that right now."

Ace smiled in turn. "But I promise that it's no lie, and I just need a few favors."

"Tell me!"

"First of all, I want to meet my twin!"

Frank then took Ace to Sue, who smiled when he saw that the man was really identical to Monte. "I didn't expect there's people like you, disguising yourself to look like your brother with surgery and still making him pay even after he got plastic surgery too."

Ace ignored her, and they were back at Frankton Tower before long.

Monte had been waiting for a while, and when Frank entered with Ace, he was incensed to see that face identical to his own!

Leaping up, he seized Ace by the throat as he bellowed, "It's not my fault you were abandoned! Make our parents do so if you want, but quit making me pay for your mistakes!"

Even as Monte ranted, Ace had both hands up, smiling at his brother without arguing.

Before long, Frank said, "Monte, do me a favor and release him. I'm sure he had no choice."

Monte had no choice but to obey Frank's order and release Ace.

Frank then turned to Ace. "Go on, tell him why you kept hounding Monte all this while! I'm sure that's why you asked to see him?"

"You really get it, Mr. Frankton!"noveldrama

Ace nodded. "You're right, Monte-l shouldn't have taken out my frustrations on you, and it was our parents fault. In fact, when I reached that age, I thought that if I were that

poor I'd abandon myself too

"However, was only hovering around you because I was being targeted and compelled to do

certain things against my will. That's

why took your face to fake alibis."

Monte frowned. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Ace laughed, shrugging. "I mean every word literally. Well, Mr. Frankton—I've gotten what I wanted now. Let's talk in private."

Frank nodded. "Monte, leave us!"

Monte had no choice but to leave since it was an order.

After he left, Frank asked, "Go on. What other favors would you ask from me?"

Ace shook his head. "That can wait. Let me finish my story for now.

"You see, I work for a mysterious outfit. It's a small business on the outside, but we're really burglars who steal the power of the spiritron vein.

"A spiritron vein like yours isn't limited to Shagan-there are others on this planet, which that group will obtain and undo any curses that plagues it. I was working for them when messed up, and as a way to escape, I took my brother's face so that I'd have an alibi even if they get me."

Frank nodded.
