The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 551

Kim cried, "How could you be so heartless?"

"This is for your own good,” Liv said and beckoned for the guards to lock Kim inside her own room. "He saved you, you ingrate! You're now spitting in his face!" Kim yelled even as she was dragged away.

Liv stood there, leveling a troubled stare at the front door when her sense of danger tingled. Someone was behind her.

Before she could turn, however, the man struck her fair nape with the side of his palm.

She blacked out right then.

Meanwhile, Shane Tomen had yet to leave Kim's guest room.

Though he could see that Kim was not interested in him after the dramatic events earlier, he could also see that she was not interested in Maron either.

Rising to his feet, he said quietly, "My family may not be as influential as Sage Lake Sect, but are you sure that Kim won't end up doing something drastic, especially when you're driving her to desperation?"

"Don't bother. It's none of your business,” Eron said with a snort, not interested in Shane at all.

As Eron waved at his butler Gorde to escort Shane outside, Shane snarled, "Mr. White, my family rose to prominence in Southstream because we have backing. Sage Lake Sect may be powerful, but they're not as invincible as you would think! You'll regret your actions on this day!"

Before he could leave, Gorde suddenly screamed outside.

"What the hell?!"

Eron was blowing at Aria’s thigh to soothe her scalded feet and looked up warily after hearing the commotion.

A black-clad man then walked in calmly and lifted his mask to reveal his middle-aged face, overflowing with murderous intent.

Eron's heart skipped a beat when he saw him. "A-Aren't you Jorg Zayas...?"

Eron had naturally done his homework on Sage Lake Sect, since he was intending to ride on their coattails.

And among their ranks was Jorg Zayas, the leader of a covert guild within Sage Lake Sect— specifically one in charge of wetwork and other clandestine tasks

Jorg was himself a formidable Birthright rank elite, a blood knight whom no one in Southstream would dare cross.

Whenever he showed up, a massacre would ensue.

And for some reason, Eron felt fear as soon as he saw the bloody black machete Jorg was holding. He quickly pushed Aria away and respectfully beckoned for Jorg to take a seat on the couch.

"To what do we owe the pleasure, Mr. Zayas?" he asked tentatively.

"What? Don't you know?" Jorg smiled even as he remained standing, his bloodthirsty gaze flashing viciously as he raised his black machete and licked the blood off the edge.

Eron was stupefied, and it took him a long while to regain his senses.

"Oh, but... this has to be a misunderstanding!" he cried. "T-Things are amicable between my family and Sage Lake Sect, and I'm supposed to visit in a couple days to discuss my daughter's engagement with Maron Ocean. We're basically in-laws... did someone set you against me?"

Sheer terror welled up within Eron as all sorts of possibilities crossed his mind, but he just could not understand why Sage Lake Sect was suddenly after him!

"Oh, but I couldn't care less.” Jorg chuckled coolly. "I only ever carry out orders, not offer explanations.”
