Semua Bab The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage: Bab 1091 - Bab 1100

"It really is a coincidence." Frank sighed earnestly."Let's pick up where we left off, Mr. Lawrence. What would you like as your reward?" Gene asked.He was certainly not worried that Frank would try to con him—he was worried about some unusual requests.It was known that specialists could be eccentric, asking for things that money could not buy.And if it was just money, Gene had plenty, or he would not have Draconia's top songstress as a partner."Alright, then I'll be frank." Frank smiled. "Earlier today, my wife and I made a bid for several land lots in South Zamri, but someone beat us to it.""Hmm?" Gene murmured, and quickly realized that Frank wanted those land lots and chuckled, "Oh, it's no big deal. I'll ask Zorn Woss right now and see if he left the bid yet. If he is, I'll tell him to handle the paperwork—you can have all the land lots, Mr. Lawrence.""What?!" Rory Thames snapped right then, folding her arms before her chest and frowning. "We spent a fortune buying t

Gene had his hunches before, but all his doubts were erased thanks to Frank's hint as he realized who the culprit was.He had no heirs, so he wrote a will early on, stating that both Zorn and Rory would jointly inherit his estate."Rory Thames… Zorn Woss…" Gene's face contorted in rage even as he clenched his fist.He already had the feeling that Zorn and Rory were more than 'close', and if anything, they should be hostile against each other over his estate if he died.Weirdly however, they were even more friendly than before, showing no signs of discord.Gene thought that they were trying to keep things peaceful for his sake before his death, but now the whole thing was simply suspicious.He certainly did not want to admit it, but he was now dead sure that those two were working together to kill him for his money!Frank could see various expressions alternating over Gene's face, and he could see that the man had realized who the culprit was.He certainly did not need to say an

Gene worked hard for over a dozen minutes and suddenly yelled, "Argh!!!"Rory and Zorn hurried toward the washroom, but Frank raised a hand, stopping them.He walked up and knocked on the door with a smile. "How did it go, Mr. Pearce?""Mr. Lawrence, it's amazing! Y-You're…" Gene had obviously seen what just came out of him and was left flabbergasted."Haha!" Frank chuckled. "I shall excuse myself now that you're fine, Mr. Pearce… but may I ask when I could expect payment?""Tomorrow—wait, argh!!! No!!!! Mr. Lawrence, help… it's the pain again! It's worse! Argh!!!"Frank had presumed that Gene was fine and was ready to leave, only for the man to start screaming again!"What?!" He exclaimed in shock—did he miss something?Without another word, he rushed into the washroom and found Gene leaning on the wall.Gene still appeared weak, but he did not appear to be in pain like his screams suggested.In fact, he had a finger on his lips—a gesture for Frank to stay silent.Frank u

Helen continued, "And Gene is buying all those land lots on a blank check. Is Lanecorp supposed to spend every last capital to outbid the richest man of the east coast? You might as well demand that we go bankrupt directly!"Every staff member of Lanecorp was nodding repeatedly. Helen was right—Gene had nothing but money, and it was suicidal to compete against him in that front."Hah! I don't care!" Nonetheless, Kallum rolled his eyes and laughed—he could not care less about anything and was even more radical after his son's death. "That still meant you failed to achieve the second task I asked, no?"Helen frowned. "It's true, but—""No buts." Kallum sneered. "All I care about is results. You failed, and that's it. Hell, I don't mind telling you how much money I've siphoned off this company now… It's twelve billion dollars!"The Lanecorp staff around them gasped right then.They were aware that Kallum had been embezzling company money… But twelve billion was still a dizzying nu

The next day, Frank and Helen were already prepared early in the morning and drove to Drenam Limited's office.Cindy had insisted on following, throwing a tantrum as she claimed she wanted to see what Frank could actually do to take those land lots from Gene.To no surprise, Drenam Limited was just a small local construction company that Gene had bought out to be an intermediary."Hello. Looking for someone?" Rob, a thuggish youth with a toothpick between his teeth, strode up to them, stopping them.He looked between them, not even stopping to take a second look at Cindy, as he soon gaped at Helen, dropping his toothpick."Shit!" He cursed even as he spaced out."What's going on here?" Bob, a pudgy man strode up to them as well, frowning. "If you're here to talk shop, I'm sorry, but we were just bought out and… Shit!"He reacted no different from Rob when he saw Helen and barked, "Quit gawking! Don't just let her stand there—go get a chair and some tea!""Oh, yeah, yeah," Rob t
