The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 532

Soon however, Aria flinched as she remembered something else and quickly asked, "What about after I leave White Hall? C-Can you still protect me after that, Mr. White?"

"Oh, well..." Eron shook his head as if troubled. "I'm sorry, Ms. Lond... But if you leave, Mr. Lawrence isn't going to play to our tune.”

Aria was shocked, her heart sinking rock-bottom again despite just finding some sense of comfort. "Mr. White, please, you have to help me," she pleaded. "Please talk to Frank. I-It was just a mistake, I didn't mean anything bad. I just love him so much, I..."

Seeing how gullible Aria was, Eron could not feel more disdain for Aria at this point.

Still, he kept his thoughts from showing because he needed her for his plans.

Pretending to be deep in thought, he then walked up and helped her to her feet and whispered into her ear, "Actually, there's no way to get Mr. Lawrence to forgive you... But I have a proposal. I'll only tell you if you're willing to do it, but if you refuse, you just have to suffer Mr. Lawrence's wrath... which I'm sure would be a fate worse than death.”

"Tell me, Mr. White! What is it?"

Aria's nerves could not be stretched thinner, and since Eron was clearly keeping her on tenterhooks, she quickly added, "Just save me, Mr. White. I'll do anything you ask!"

"Hoho..." Eron’s eyes narrowed as he smiled, knowing that the time was right. "In that case, I'll say it: Mr. Lawrence would be taking part in a martial tourney tomorrow, and that's your chance at saving your own skin."

Aria was completely puzzled. "Frank's going to a tourney... is this my chance?"

"I have a poison here.” Eron held up a small packet, smiling faintly. "It's odorless and tasteless, but it will numb Mr. Lawrence's nerves while he takes part in the tourney. It's nothing malignant, or Mr. Lawrence would notice it easily given his knowledge in medicine. Just poison him with this, and he'll lose the tourney and be too hurt to come after you.”

"Poison?" Aria gathered herself as she took the packet from Eron.

She mused to herself for a while, but her eyes soon flashed viciously. "Don't you have a more potent poison? Something lethal.”

Her request left Eron taken aback, though he almost laughed out loud.

She was far more vile than he thought! Was she not just declaring how much she loved Frank earlier? And now, she wanted him dead?

Still, he held back a smile as he said, "That's unnecessary. I'm sure you'll understand what it means to not overreach. Like I said, Frank is well-versed in medicine and would notice a poison that's too obvious. On the other hand, this is budsnuff—a family recipe that almost wouldn't qualify as poison. It only numbs the nerves and is used as a painkiller. Just make Mr. Lawrence drink it tonight, and you'll understand tomorrow."

Aria's fingers clenched around the small packet, her eyes flashing viciously.

It was Frank who insisted on finding the truth, and he could not blame her for this! She had no choice! Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"By the way..."

Before he left, Eron leveled a twinkling gaze at Aria. "You can come to my bedroom if you're not too busy—there's plenty more to discuss, see?"

Eron's meaning was obvious, and Aria did not hesitate as she grinned coquettishly. "Of course."
