The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage Chapter 1689
Horey simply could not understand—what connections Frank could possibly have that her mentor would show such a weak reaction?Talk about a bolt from the blue!"Hmph. It seems Sienna Noirot knows her place…"Frank strode a step forward just then, coolly demanding, "And what about you? Are you still going to insist on taking the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom?""I…"Horey had lost her trump card.In fact, everyone clearly heard what her mentor had told her—to kneel down before Frank and apologize.While Horey did not feel as humiliated as Kairo, she was still utterly confused.And since it was orders from above, she ultimately gave in for the sake of survival, kowtowing audibly and respectfully before Frank. "P-Please forgive me, Mr. Lawrence…""Get out of here."Seeing that Horey had acknowledged her mistake, Frank waved her off, not bothered to press the issue.Horey was certainly relieved, turning and fleeing the gates of Kornac's Keep without even collecting her late senior's belo

Frank finished, "Just mention my name, and you can enjoy special service and medicinal baths that won't lose out to the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom.""Really?!" Yosil's eyes lit up. "I've heard about the farm resort myself, but I've never been and therefore presumed it to be some publicity stunt. I didn't expect it to be your work… In that case, I shall visit it myself."While they were speaking, Ira Summers approached them with a glass in hand. "Apologies, Frank… I meant, Elder Lawrence. I've spoken insolently, and as an apprentice of Kornac's Keep, I hope you'd see past my indiscretion…"His tentative mannerisms left Frank chuckling and shaking his head.He did not really take offense anyway and clinked glasses with Ira, a gesture to let bygones be bygones.Still, it had been a long day for Frank as he soon rushed to Riverton from Norsedam, but at the very least, Mark Lane was saved.Reaching Lanevillle, Frank immediately refined a pill with the Stellar Windroot and worked through

That was until an ignorant man came calling."I heard you're Ms. Lane's sugar baby," he said as soon as he entered. "How much is she paying you every month? I can give you five million dollars right now, but you have to leave her."The man looked around his thirties, and his suit gave him the look of one of those successful city boys.In contrast, Frank was wearing his loose pajamas as he sat in his garden, sipping tea and gaping at the man, speechless.He had only allowed the man inside when the latter rang the doorbell, saying that he was from a major construction company in another city and partners with Lanecorp.Frank was naturally stupefied that the man would immediately assert his authority as soon as he strode through the front door.And seeing that Frank was stunned, he laughed coolly. "How about that? I guess dregs of society such as yourself would never have seen so much money!"Looking smug just then, he waved for his secretary to bring his briefcase, opening it in

"What?"Helen was obviously surprised and murmured, "But there must be a mistake. Huub Droitner seemed so polite and agreeable, which was why I was fine with him asking to see you.""Can't judge a book by its cover."Frank chuckled. "You'd better watch out. I can see that he bears ill will.""We're just business partners, and I was thinking about using his family's government connections. Since they mean to do harm, I'll just have to call it off."Helen was determined, too—if Frank sensed an issue, she would not waste her breath.However, after hanging up and Frank dismissed it as a brief interlude, the Southstream Lanes found themselves in trouble a few days later.Gavin Lane, Helen's uncle, was supposed to return after a couple of days from a business trip, but it had been a week since he was last seen.His family could not reach him and there was no sign of him in Zamri, and there was nothing suspicious about the people whom he met for business talks either.They all testif

Despite Helen and Roth's pleading looks, Frank shook his head in refusal. "The origins of the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom is complicated. And I have use for it, so I won't give it up.""What?"Helen did a double take, especially when she saw Frank's determined expression.It was the first time he refused her, and ever since she knew him, he never cared for worldly attachments.He would definitely not hesitate to say yes in the past. But today he did, and so decisively that it caused Helen's imagination to run wild."Frank! It's just an herb, isn't it?! Are you saying that the fertile soil of Draconia can't yield another?! Could you not be so stingy?! We just want that herb because it's an emergency!"Gina Zonda, who had been listening to their conversation for a while, stood akimbo and snapped at Frank when she saw the troubled look on her daughter's face. "Gavin is the reason Helen became head of the family! What would the Southstream Lanes think of Helen if we don't save him?""

Despite Helen going that far for Frank, he refused to help even though her uncle's life was on the line, and it hurt.It did make sense, however, with the many beauties hovering around Frank—even Helen was herself just one of them, and it would not hurt him to lose her.Seeing her devastated reaction, Frank rubbed his brow in slight irritation. "Calm down. I said I'm not going to give the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to help.""Help? How?"Helen laughed miserably. "They have Uncle Gavin and would kill him at any moment, but you're refusing to give a single herb!""Can you stop being unreasonable?"Frank retorted, "I'm telling you—the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom means a lot to me, and it's not a question of money. I wouldn't even bat an eye if I had to give you anything else, but this is really impassive.""Did you just say that I'm being unreasonable?!"However, Helen was clearly insulted, and her temper flared as she turned her head aside. "Right, I'm

Frank was not bothered by Gina's outburst at all, since he knew very well how rare the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom really was.As a treasure that would only appear once over a thousand years, she was saying that someone would be willingly parting with it?Only Gina herself would be believing such bullshit.However, Helen could not pretend that she did not hear what Frank said.Even if Frank knew it was slightly inappropriate to say it, women never liked to hear them being called unreasonable.Since Frank could not change what he said, he braced himself and said, "Just give me time, Helen. I'll have someone search and rescue Gavin.""Hah! It'd be too late!"Gina snorted in disdain and kept pulling Helen away, huffing. "Let's go. All men are pigs and are always ready to dump you when they have someone new. See here? He doesn't care about you even before you remarry! What do you think would happen once you remarry? Who knows how many others he has out there!"Frank was left bristling.

Roth nodded politely at Frank before leaving too, leaving him alone in the spacious drawing room of Cologne Court.Frank reclined against the couch in silence but eventually jumped to his feet."Helen, wait!" Frank ran out of the mansion, ready to say something when he saw the black Cadillac parked outside, and a thirtyish man in a suit was speaking with Helen and Gina.Naturally, it was none other than Huub Droitner, heir to Droitner Inc."What…"Before Frank caught himself, Gina turned and sneered at Frank. "Hmph. Speak of the devil! Even if you refuse to give us the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, Mr. Droitner here just happened to have one and is willing to part with it. It's really frustrating when someone one-ups you, isn't it?""What?" Frank was left frowning.Huub turned on Frank right then and sneered. "Hmph. It's just an herb, but you're treating it like treasure? How embarrassing.""Do you even know what the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom is?"Frank's expression was cold, and tho
