The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1636

Yora, however, shook her head at the confused looks thrown her way. "But after all is said and done, I am still Mark Lane's wife… and I desire an alliance between the Yimmels and the Lanes as equals. What do you say to that?"

"What?!"

It was not just the Yimmels—even Helen was left dumbstruck by Yora's offer.

What was Yora saying? An alliance, and at this stage? Was that even possible?!

"Have you gone mad?!"

Cadell sprang to his feet, snapping right then, "We still have our hostages, and our family is much more powerful than the Lanes! We can return to Bralog in one piece even if we fail to take over the Lane family or Lanecorp! Why should we ally ourselves with some mooks like them?!"

"Exactly, Madam Yimmel! There's just no reason for it!"

"Are you perhaps in shock? Could you be delirious?"

"Shut up! I'm still sane!" Yora snapped, glaring at Cadell and the rest. "I am still the matriarch, so you'll obey even if you don't like it or face punishment per family rules!"

Her threat left the Yimmels deflated, but they were certainly upset, even whispering among themselves.

Yora made sure that they were silent before turning back to Frank, asking apprehensively, "How about it, Frank? Will you take my offer?"

As the Lanecorp health and safety department officers and Helen looked on eagerly, Frank smiled and said, "No."

"Frank!"

Helen leapt up, pulling Frank as she cried anxiously, "Please, they still have Granduncle and Uncle Gavin, and they're clearly compromising a lot when they offered the alliance. We shouldn't…"

She trailed off, unable to say the word 'overreach'.
