The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1602

"No!"

Gina's face fell at Helen's word. "Going back to Laneville now? You'd be going straight into the lion's den—you're never making it out! Do you think that Fleur Lang would just let you go?"

Helen sighed. "But if I don't, they will kill Granduncle—"

"Enough."

Frank strode up just as mother and daughter argued, glancing between them. "I caused this in the first place—Hardy Xinder reached out to Corpsedale to get back at me, and Corpsedale reached out to Southstream Lanes. That said, I already have an idea how to resolve this issue. Both of you just have to play along…"

"Frank…"

Helen's eyes flickered at him.

He pulled her into his arms, chuckling as he understood what she was thinking. "I'm your darling, so there's no need to stand on ceremony. And I've put in blood and sweat for Lanecorp too—we're never giving it up willingly to Fleur Lang, don't you think?"

Helen finally laughed after scowling for a while, while Gina sighed emotionally as she watched them, feeling troubled as she once again remembered her prejudices against Frank.

Still, she could not help adding, "Madam Yimmel is not one to be trifled with, Frank. You must be careful."

Frank was actually surprised by Gina's concern but soon smiled confidently. "Don't worry, I won't let harm come to either of you as long as I'm around."

Then, turning to the unconscious Jade Zahn, he said quietly, "She's in your care now. I need to leave for a while, so just make sure that she doesn't do anything drastic."

"Yeah." Helen nodded firmly.

Still, when the bodyguard eventually returned to Fleur, he reported, "He didn't have it with him, Madam Lang."

"Damn it!" Fleur cursed, not heartbroken at all that her own son was dead, only that he was so incompetent that he could not even bring her the medicine.

"Frank Lawrence most likely took it," the bodyguard suggested hesitantly.

"Mooks! Pricks!"

Fleur sobbed into her palms, before looking up, her eyes flashing viciously. "You will pay for this, Frank Lawrence!"

That was when a Lincoln limousine stopped by the curb.

Jon Lane—Gavin Lane's second son—alighted. "Madam Lang? What are you doing out here? Dad's saying that Grandfather fell sick, and he's asking you to head back right away."
