The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1043

After all, Fleur and her ilk could not imagine how Frank could earn a billion dollars through the farm resort.

And if Frank departed from Riverton, they would once again take back control of the family and Mark would not be able to say a thing about that.

Talk about playing to their tune…

"In that case, that's all for today," Mark said. "Frank, Helen… I hope you won't disappoint me."

Once Mark turned and headed inside the manor with the rest of his family, Helen was suddenly her old self.

"Frank…" she murmured. "Can we really do this? T-There's no way, right? I mean, it's a billion dollars we're talking about!"

Her ice queen self melted away as she revealed her true self, and she was tugging on Frank's sleeve miserable. She was certainly a lot less of that determined independent woman from before and more a miserable young girl.

Frank almost laughed out loud right then.

"You're laughing?! You're terrible!" Helen flushed, biting her lip grumpily.

"Sorry, can't help it." Frank paused and chuckled, "If you weren't that confident, Ms. Lane, why did you agree to the wager so confidently?"

"B-Because of you!" Helen threw a meek punch on his chest even as she cried. "You were being so confident! Of course I had to back you up… And I think it's plenty enough to become Granduncle's successor. Why did you have to get him to retire earlier?"

"Hahaha…" Frank laughed as he pulled her into the arms. "Well, I did it on purpose—you'll be a housewife after you lose, and not the CEO of Lane Holdings. We'll be vagrants, traveling and begging alms, never having full meals…"

"Ugh, you're the worst!" Helen snapped, flustered as she punched him.
