Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage: Kabanata 711 - Kabanata 720

Frank inhaled deeply and told Trevor, "Keep bidding.""Sure. 400 million!" Trevor raised his paddle without hesitation."500 million." Sif smiled smugly, folding her arms before her chest as if watching Frank and Trevor make a fool of themselves."600 million!" Trevor remained impassive as he kept bidding."One billion!" Sif yawned as she countered.That was when Frank sprang to his feet, glaring at Sif as he asked coolly, "So you're bent on outbidding me for that rock, Ms. Lionheart?""No, of course not." Sif sneered as she returned Frank's jibe before, word for word. "It's an auction—I bid, and an item is bought. Is there a rule that no one must bid against you?" Frank scowled harder, snorting as he turned toward Jenny and bellowed, "Two billion!"Then, he wheeled on Sif and growled quietly. "I will have that rock today. Try to outbid me if you can.""Heh. Did you think I'd let you off easy after you raised the bid for the Hyperion Root earlier?" Sif smiled despite herse

Frank sneered. "Ms. Lionheart, don't you think you're being overconfident? Also, word of advice—take a closer look at what you're holding. Does it really have a hundred years' worth of medicinal value?""What?" Sif did a double take but did not check her Hyperion Root as she retorted, "This is a Hyperion Root—there's no faking it. The roots are intertwined, a crystalline yellow and carries a fresh scent. How could it not be a hundred years old?""That's not quite right." Frank shook his head and smiled. "Ms. Lionheart, the Hyperion Root grows one tertiary root every ten years, so why don't you start counting if it's the right number?"Frank's words finally built doubt in Sif at that—if memory serves, it should be ten."One, two, three…" She started counting, her face soon falling once she stopped at nine.She counted again and again, but the Hyperion Root only had nine tertiary roots. And she was dead certain there was no tenth root."Are you sure the roots decide the age?! I'll

Sif's eyes lit up at Tavis' words.Yes! She might have lost, but that did not mean that Frank and Trevor had won!Rearing her chin, she pointed haughtily at the emerald hale pearl Frank was holding. "Even if I've mistaken the age of my treasure, it's a treasure—that pearl of yours would never measure up to it! What are you so happy about, buying a pearl not even worth a million with two?!""Exactly. What are you so gleeful about?" Tavis scoffed as well.Trevor simply laughed in disdain. "And I'm happy doing it. I'd be willing to pay 2 billion as long as it's what Mr. Lawrence wants, even if it's just a rock."Naturally, Trevor was referring to the actual rock Sif bought for 2.5 billion, leaving her fuming."So what?!" Sif snarled through her teeth. "Oh, and I forgot to tell you—that hale pearl you have? Bail Leaf bought it from my family… If I recall correctly, we sold it for two hundred thousand like it was just a glass orb, and you spent 200 million on it! How about that! Surpr

"Did you think you won't look dumb doing this? No, it'd just make you look even dumber! Hahaha…Huh?"Sif suddenly stopped laughing when she saw it—the tiny sprout that lay in Frank's palm after the hale pearl shattered.There was no doubting it… The sprout was growing inside the pearl!And though it was small, it was crystalline like a perfect gem. Its very shape was the work of a master craftsman, and the emerald luster was so bright that it hurt to stare at it for too long!Moreover, one could see the bright green sap flowing through the crystalline sprout and the abundant vigor it carried.Even an idiot would be able to see that it was special."I-Isn't that a Hale Marrow? Isn't it just a legend?!" Tavis shrieked on top of his lungs after a brief moment of shock, not caring about saving Sif's face just then.The auction hall was left in an uproar right then."Hale Marrow? What is that?""Shit, it's the Hale Marrow! There's only a fractional chance it'd grow in mountains fil

Frank, however, had no intention to negotiate and refused bluntly. "I'm sorry, Ms. Lionheart—I have great use for my Hale Marrow, and I'm not selling no matter what you offer me.""What?!" Sif did a double take, her temper flaring right then.It was the first time someone would refuse her, the heiress of the Lionheart!"I'm being nice here!" she snapped. "Know your place and give it to me right now! No one ever refuses me, and everyone will always hand over whatever I want to me on a silver platter!"Frank simply raised a brow and sneered. "Really? How on earth did you manage to describe daylight robbery with such righteous words? Or perhaps you own this place too? Surely you should know how to abide by rules too, Ms. Lionheart?" "Shut up! What I say is the rule!" Sif bellowed haughtily, glaring at Frank. "The Lionhearts will make this worth your while—you bought it for 200 million, didn't you? I'm now buying it for 2 billion dollars. It's no loss for you, so hand it over!"Seei
