The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1693

Despite Helen and Roth's pleading looks, Frank shook his head in refusal. "The origins of the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom is complicated. And I have use for it, so I won't give it up."

"What?"

Helen did a double take, especially when she saw Frank's determined expression.

It was the first time he refused her, and ever since she knew him, he never cared for worldly attachments.

He would definitely not hesitate to say yes in the past.

But today he did, and so decisively that it caused Helen's imagination to run wild.

"Frank! It's just an herb, isn't it?! Are you saying that the fertile soil of Draconia can't yield another?! Could you not be so stingy?! We just want that herb because it's an emergency!"

Gina Zonda, who had been listening to their conversation for a while, stood akimbo and snapped at Frank when she saw the troubled look on her daughter's face. "Gavin is the reason Helen became head of the family! What would the Southstream Lanes think of Helen if we don't save him?"

"Yes, Mr. Lawrence…"

Roth reasoned, holding back his anxiety, "We won't really give it to the kidnappers—we just need it as bait to ensure my father's safety."

"No." Frank refused once more, determined. "Anything else is up for discussion, but not the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom—even for use as bait. Nothing must happen to it under any circumstances."

Not only was the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom the embodiment of his mentor's hopes, but it was also proof that Yosil had kept his promise of twenty years.

Frank would not give it up, even if he was not going to use it to improve up to Transcendent rank.
