THE GIRLBOSS BEGS FOR REMARRIAGE - Season 5 Episode 99

And just as Frank had predicted, Quinn did not even tell the Salazars before fleeing alone back to Sage Lake Sect.

Pulling rank as the daughter of an elder, she immediately scourged through the sect’s archives once she returned, her eyes flashing greedily when she found out why Mystic Sky Sect was massacred three years ago.

Five-Peat Archaeus—immortality!

And now, that opportunity was right in front of her, ripe for the taking!

Drakon Salazar? Did he even compare to the temptation of immortality?!

They were just in a relationship and not even married—and Quinn would never let Cloudnine Sect hog such providence!

With that in mind, she slips away from her fellow apprentices asking after her, smiling spitefully as she strode into her father’s parlor.

At The Dynasty, Helen was wearing a bareback black dress as she leaned against the bar.

She was drunk, as she had been for the last three days.

Naturally, she stank of alcohol and was barely coherent, and her vomit covered the floor around her.

Cindy sat beside her, saying gingerly, “Come on, Helen. Let’s go home—you still have to preside over your grandfather’s funeral.”

Gina was looking on in concern too. “Helen, I did everything for your own good. If you go on like this, the Graves family would—”

“Go away!” Helen shook Gina’s hand off, wobbling as she rose to her feet and pointed between Cindy and Gina, stammering, “M-Murderers! You’re all murderers who killed Grandpa! Oh, Grandpa…”

Helen’s outburst left Gina and Cindy trading glances, with Gina quickly doing her best to excuse herself. “It wasn’t us, Helen—it was that bastard Frank Lawrence! Your grandfather would never have killed himself if Frank didn’t attack us! I’d never want him to die so soon myself!”

Cindy quickly joined in. “Aunt Gina’s right. It’s not her fault—it’s all Frank’s fault for bullying everyone just because he knows a little martial arts…”

“Then let me ask you this,” Helen growled, her face flushed even as she pointed between Gina and Cindy again. “Why would Frank come to our house? Why was he so furious with us?! Why?!”

Clang!

Helen suddenly picked up her glass and smashed it on the floor, and Cindy screamed in fear.

Gina avoided Helen’s gaze as she argued, “B-Because he’s a bastard! He came to mess with us just for kicks!”

“Exactly,” Cindy added. “Why would you keep siding with him?! We’re your family!”

“Yes! And home is where the heart is!” Gina quickly added. “Who should you trust if not your own family?”

“Family? Do you really think I’m so stupid?” Helen snorted at Gina and Cindy before sighing lengthily. “Well, I certainly am.”
