The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Rob cringed when he heard about his removal from the line of succession.

However, he hung his head as he accepted reality, since he knew he had grounds to argue.

And after a brief silence, Glen continued.

"Still, I still need a successor."

This time, he glanced at Frank, his tone changing sharply, "As a son-in-law of this family, Frank has already saved us from several crises, not to mention he saved all our lives today. If not for him, Rob would've killed us all." Pausing, Glen looked at all the members of the Turnbull branch families and asked loudly, "As such, I propose to have Frank Lawrence become my successor. What do you think?!" "Huh?!"

"What?!"

Everyone in the ballroom was left dumbstruck.

Letting an outsider become the next head of the Turnbull family?! Was Glen kidding?!

They owed the man a lot, but this was still ridiculous!

"Hoho, I'm just kidding."NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Glen waved them off, chuckling amid the stunned silence. "I'm actually nominating my niece Vicky to be my successor. How about that?" "Oh, I see..."

The members of the Turnbull branch families sighed in relief from their earlier shock, though someone noticed something unusual just then.

"Hold on the family head has always been a man., but it's a woman now?" one of them asked.

The other members of the Turnbull branch families turned in confusion toward Glen right then as well, but Glen simply glanced at Frank with a quiet smile. They all got it right then-in the end, Glen wanted Frank to be his successor anyway!

However, considering that they had a proper heiress in Vicky as a buffer, the members of the Turnbull branch families all nodded in agreement after some thought. After all, they sorely lacked firepower if they were to fight against martial elites of the Lionhearts.

And right now, Frank had proven himself to be stronger than Jan.

That meant if they could bring Frank over to their side, the Lionhearts would not go down the route of a direct conflict.

And it would really have been the end of the Turnbulls if not for Frank being here today.

Not only would they be reduced to vassals of the Lionhearts, but they probably would not remain as one of the Four Families of Morhen.

That was why the members of the

Turnbull family present did not hesitate for long and almost

unanimously voted in agreement for Vicky to be the next head of the

Turnbull family.

And despite being a woman, she had earned the respect of the members of the Turnbull branch families when she bravely stood up to Rob.

It was enough for them.

And seeing that no one was protesting, Glen announced cheerfully, "Very well. Then I'm hereby announcing that my niece Vicky will be the next head of the

Turnbull family!"

A thunderous applause ensued all around them, a completely different reaction to when Rob declared himself the head of the Turnbull family. Even as the man in question got up and moved to hide in a corner, he glared at Vicky in spite and jealousy as she basked in her moment. "And now, as for Rob..."

After that announcement, Glen

turned coldly toward Rob, and snapped coldly, "He will be punished per family law! His kneecaps will be removed and his tongue cut off! And he will not be allowed to take a single step out of Turnbull Estate!"

"What?!"

Rob panicked at his sentence and rushed to kowtow repeatedly at Glen, begging, "Please, Dad! I'm your son!"
