The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1123

"No way! We can't let them take Walter!"

"Exactly! We will go down swinging if push comes to shove!"

"That's right! We do not fear death!"

Glen was left glowering as the rest of the Turnbulls argued in defiance.

"Go down swinging?! Easy for you to say!" he bellowed. "Have none of you considered how serious a blow it would be to our family if we went to war against the mayor of Morhen?! It wouldn't just be the Martial Alliance—if the mayor sends the garrison, we're really screwed!"

Looking at everyone around him pointedly, he continued, "At that point, we'd be unable to clear our name while we leap into the pit our enemies dug for us! And that's exactly what they want—for us to fight the Martial Alliance!"

While most of the Turnbulls were stunned, some still argued defiantly.

"What, are we supposed to just give up?"

"Exactly. Even at best, we'd lose Walter… And our reputation is going down the drain…"

Glen simply turned to Frank and said quietly, "Mr. Lawrence has already said it—we will let them take Walter while we investigate the incident. When we do, we will be able to save Walter, even turn the tables against our enemies. Mr. Lawrence has already seen that reality, but the rest of you are disappointingly ignorant."

Even Susan quietly admitted to her shortcoming as Glen glared sternly at everyone.

And once they turned quiet, Silverbell strode up and asked, "So? Have you come to a decision?"

"Lady Silverbell." Glen nodded politely. "We will surrender Walter, but will you listen to my one request?"
