The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1482

Shrugging, Rob said, "Frank Lawrence… died in the fight against the South Sea Crow."

The members of the Turnbull family, however, appeared suspicious toward his noncommittal response. Some even saw through him right then and were quietly considering how to make their exit.

"Ahem…"

Rob cleared his throat to draw everyone's attention back to him, and smiled, "Since I've accomplished the feat of slaying the South Sea Crow, while my father suffered quite the shock, we've agreed that I will take over as the head of the Turnbull family. Right, Father?"

All Glen felt was a bitterness in his throat as he looked at the threatening smile Rob shot at him and turned toward the members of the Turnbull branch families.

They were all waiting for his answer, just as Glen came to realize what Rob meant earlier when he mentioned a bloodbath.

If he refused Rob, the soldiers waiting outside would charge in with their guns and massacre everyone in this ballroom, leaving none alive.

After that, he would subjugate every branch family across Draconia with the Lionhearts' help, either using violence or just bribery.

While it would prove a hassle for Rob, it was not impossible—and if he went through with it, the ranks of the Turnbulls would really be shredded.

However, if he acknowledged Rob's statement, he would be stepping down as head of the Turnbull family. And just like the other option, there was no assurance that anyone here would survive.

"How devious!"

Glen certainly hated the Lionhearts to the bone just then—that bunch really would not rest unless his family fell!

But even as he looked at everyone else—along with Rob, who was still waiting for his response, he knew that there was no backing out now.

After a brief silence, he nodded ever so slightly.
