The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage

Jaden almost imploded at the thought-he would be the laughing stock of all martial artists if they heard that his family went begging for his sake! "Where's Stella now?" Jaden leveled a cold look at Chelly.

Seeing that he was really furious, Chelly quickly said, "Dad had her restrained. She will be whipped fifty times per family rules."

"Hah!" Jaden snorted. "That can wait after tomorrow!"

"What? Why?" Chelly was taken aback-she actually believed fifty lashes was enough for Stella's betrayal!

"I will let Stella watch as I crush that cheating loser under my foot, so she'll suffer her lashes willingly!"

With that, Jaden strode off to meet their father.

Chelly actually zoned out just then.

Having met Frank, she could see how composed Frank was compared to her brother-it was almost unusual. "Could Stella be actually right?" she murmured, but she shook her head as soon as the thought crossed her mind. No way! Her brother was second in Skyrank.

Barring the Martial Alliance and those who stayed in seclusion, was there another youth who could beat her brother? "Wait for me, Jaden..." Chelly called out, chasing after Jaden even as she banished the thought.
