The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage

"Hah! You're still refusing to admit it?! It's obvious you're trying to drive a wedge between us, since Grandfather is asking about our soldiers!"

At Rex's words, the rest of the Quill family realized with a start the reason why he had the audacity to stand out and accuse Frank for lying-he had a strong hand to play!

After all, Eric Holt's resistance was short-lived, completely stifled by Rex's hand just earlier, and those soldiers would never dare come forward now to accuse the Quill family of abusing them.

And with Rex holding their families hostages, things would simply carry on as usual, with those soldiers faking smiles and telling Governor Quill that they were treated well.
