The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

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. "What are you talking about?! It's slander if you have no proof!"

"Really?"

Gina laughed. "Then what's got you so upset? Did I get it right? See, Helen? All men are pigs-it's just like I said!"

"That's enough!" Roth snapped, shaking his head. "I only came to discuss how we should save my father with Madam Lane. If it's possible, I'm certainly pleased. If we can't..."

Roth trailed off, his voice quivering even as he continued. "Well, it can't be helped. Kunderstand that Mr. Lawrence has a reason and that the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom must be very important to him. We shouldn't force him into anything, and don't want his marriage to become strained because of my father-"

"Marriage?! Hah!"NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Gina laughed again. "They have yet to remarry! But I'll ask one last time—are you giving up that shitty herb or not?!"

Frank took a deep breath, scowling as he said a single word: "No."

I

"Fine!" Gina snapped coolly and started to put Helen along again. "You won't be seeing Helen ever again from now on! Since you refused to help her uncle, we will do something about this ourselves! Let's go, Helen!"

There was a reluctant look in Helen's eye, and she pleaded with Frank, "Could you please help Uncle Gavin?

ne

I'm really begging ove

"I..."

Frank's heart skipped at the sight of the stoic girlboss showing him such a face and almost gave in to her request right then.

But he remembered Mystic Sky Sect, his mentor's instructions, and regrets.....

Gritting his teeth, Frank shook his head. "I'll handle this, Helen, but I can't give up the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom."

Helen sighed, at once dejected that her plea did not change Frank's mind.

She turned, hiding from Frank's eyes with her hair while smiling bitterly. "But you'd agree to it if it were Vicky asking, wouldn't you?" And with those words, Helen left with Gina.
