Semua Bab The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Frank took a cab to Turnbull Villa right away, where Vicky and Walter were present, along with a beautiful woman and a burly man who looked like a bodyguard.Walter was the first to greet Frank. "Welcome, Mr. Lawrence.""Mr. Turnbull." Frank nodded.On the other hand, Vicky stayed seated beside the woman, appearing tame and disciplined.Just then, the woman asked, "You're Frank Lawrence?"There was a hint of disdain in her eyes.Frank frowned slightly but replied. "And you are…?"Before Vicky could speak, the woman introduced herself. "Susan Redford. I'm Vicky's mother.""So you are Mrs. Turnbull. Pleasure to meet you," Frank nodded, surprised that Vicky's mother carried such a presence.So one could tell that she was an heiress herself, though strategic marriages were probably normal for dynasties like the Turnbulls.Susan was studying Frank in turn. "My daughter told me you're extraordinary in medicine and martial arts?""My knowledge is superficial. I hardly hold my own,"

"What is that?" Frank asked in curiosity. Vicky leveled a mysterious gaze on him. "It's a pharmaceutical company. You can better harvest the rare medicinal ingredients from across the world if you join us—in fact, I'm doing this for you!""Haha…" Frank chuckled—he had just met her days ago, and he really doubted Vicky would go that far for him. "Let's just be honest, alright? What is it that you want?"While he was interested in such a company, Frank knew that nothing was free in this world. This was a give and take, and there must be a catch.Vicky smiled. "I want you to be my boyfriend.""What?" Frank appeared stupefied—he did not want to make enemies for no reason, especially since she was already engaged.Vicky giggled when she saw that it was a no. "I'm just kidding. Anyway, my side of the family has been eager to expand our medicinal business into Middleton. I've always been in charge of that, but I also know my uncle's side of the family would definitely send someone over

Gina absolutely disagreed. "What do you mean by others? Mr. Wesley has helped us so much!"Peter agreed. "From where I'm standing, he would be better as my brother-in-law than Frank.""Just shut it," Helen shot him a glare and refused to say anything further. -Frank arrived in an hour, but no one greeted him since he amounted much less than a son-in-law.Only Helen did, although she too had opinions against him because of what happened before. "Hey."Frank asked right away," How's Gramps?""It doesn't look good."Frank nodded. "I'll see him."With that, he walked past the crowd and made a beeline for Henry's room."How are you, Gramps?" he asked when he saw Henry.The man had been waiting and promptly looked up at Frank's familiar voice. "You're really here, Frank."Frank held his hand while taking his pulse. "Yes, I am."Henry was in turn calmer when he saw Frank. "My family has wronged you, Frank…"Frank shook his head and assured him, "You'll be fine as long as I'm a

Sean's heart skipped a beat.In reality, he had only heard about the Ichor Pill while having a drink with Tidus yesterday—there were none left aside from the one Gerald consumed.When he heard Henry was sick, he simply bought some vitamin pills that would not help at all. He disguised them as the Ichor Pills, since the vitamin pills were harmless.It was his contribution if Henry recovered, while if Henry did not, his time was simply up.Sean certainly did not expect Frank to say that it was fake directly!However, before he could speak, Gina was already snapping, "Shut up! Are you doubting Mr. Wesley? Do you even know a thing about medicine?!"Beside her, Peter was glaring at him in contempt. "That's right. What gives you the right to doubt Mr. Wesley?"Haha!Sean was absolutely thrilled—with the Lanes around, he did not even have to come up with an excuse!Frank glared at them in turn. "I won't waste my breath with you. Right now, I want to save Gramps."However, Peter and

As things tensed up between Sean and Frank, Frank's cab arrived.Sean did not make a move and smiled instead. "Be careful when you walk the streets at night, kiddo."Frank snorted in disdain. "I could say the same about you.""Fuck you," Sean cursed as he drove off.-Meanwhile, Henry completely ignored Gina and the rest after Frank left.Gina approached Helen just then, "Dear, wasn't Big Bright's Lyndon McCoy sick too?"Helen nodded. "Yeah. What about it?"Big Bright was a distributor of construction materials, and Lane Holdings was always buying from them with reasonable prices. Moreover, Lyndon was known to be a loyal, honest man.Gina quickly said, "Since Mr. Wesley brought two Ichor Pills, there's one left… Don't you think the McCoys would be indebted to you if you helped Lyndon? Bargaining would be so much easier after that!"Helen became pensive—her mother actually made sense.With the West City project commencing soon, Lane Holdings would need a huge supply of constr
