All Chapters of The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage: Chapter 1691 - Chapter 1700

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

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?""

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.

The man with the poker-face was flanked by a dozen officers armed with guns, which they trained on Frank as soon as they strode through the front door."Frank Lawrence?" the man asked."Who are you?"Frank glared at them coolly, noticing soon that they were law enforcement officers with ties to the government.He realized it with a start when he remembered Huub's threat.It seemed that despite the modest scale of Droitner Inc., it was still the first time Frank had a government official in Zamri moving against him."I'm Podrick Daffey, a captain working directly under Zamri's commissioner."Podrick flashed his badge at Frank and announced coolly, "You're accused of being directly involved in the deaths of Larry Jameson and Kit Jameson. Considering the seriousness of the accusations, you must come with us for questioning."Frank did a double take. "An anonymous tip? Who, exactly?" "Don't worry about it." Podrick snorted. "We will never reveal them to ensure their safety, while

The jailer who just left did not turn back in spite of Scarface's screams, as it was way too common around here.He paused for a moment before chuckling and left without looking back.Meanwhile, Scarface was clutching his almost broken thumb and cowering in a corner, wheezing."Yo!" Someone chuckled. "It seems the newbie can throw down, almost snapping Scarface Tucker's thumb in an instant. Interesting!"Hearing the gleeful laughter around him, Frank looked around and asked, "Can anyone tell me where I am?""Eh…?""Pfft…""No way. The kid doesn't know where this place is?""Makes sense. Just look at his blank stare—doesn't look too smart, does he? Someone must have tricked him."Clang…"Ahem…"As Frank's fellow inmates chuckled and commented, silence quickly ensued with the clanging of metals.A geezer could then be heard coughing, as every eye turned toward him in the darkness.Even the cells nearby were silent, a far cry from the liveliness when Frank had just entered th
