The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1640

Only the Yimmels were scowling.

"Fine!" Cadell, who had had enough just then, whipped out his phone. "Since you're all so united, let's see how you'll stay that way after the Southstream Lanes are massacred! I'm making the call right now!"

As he dialed the number, Frank was still smirking, while Helen's fingers dug into his arm, showing her nervousness.

"Uncle Cadell!" Hagar Yimmel was soon huffing from the other end.

"Hagar!" Cadell was barking at once. "We fell for Frank Lawrence's trap here! You still have the hostages, don't you?! Kill ten of them—show them the price of underestimating the Yimmels!"

"Hans Schnee?! As in the East Coast Base Commander?!"

Cadell and the rest of the Yimmels were left gaping in disbelief.

On the other hand, Hagar was still shouting. "I don't know anything about the base commander, but he brought an entire battalion of fully-armed soldiers… Argh!!!"

There was a scream, and a suffocating silence ensued, followed by a static beeping as the call was cut off.

The Yimmels' heart sank right then.

When they turned toward Frank again, they finally realized why he was so confident.

"So, have you made up your mind?"

Frank smiled at the key members and executives of the Yimmel family. "You should feel lucky that you're alive here and talking to me. I can't say the same of the ones in Laneville."

Yora's voice was trembling. "W-What are you saying?!"
