The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1603

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."

He was very respectful, since he had no idea why his grandfather was sick in the first place.

As he finished and turned to see the imposing woman beside Fleur, he stiffened right then. "Madam Yimmel? W-What are you doing here? My dad just sent someone to Bralog—"
