The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1759

Frank's mood was endlessly somber—not only was Huub's threat weighing down on him, but there was also the physical pain he was enduring.

It was even more disappointing that Helen had not visited over the last two days, although he had an idea why.

Even if Helen did agree to let Huub search Cologne Court, Frank did not believe it was her own call, as he knew her well enough to see that she was wet behind her ears.

While she was easily deceived, Helen also had a genuine bond with Winter and the others, and she would not have allowed Huub to attack Winter.

That meant Helen was a victim too, and Huub must have used the fake Bloodcrane Spiritbloom to coerce her, forcing her to let him search Cologne Court for Frank's real Bloodcrane Spiritbloom.

Then, unable to find the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, a frustrated Huub must have taken everyone in Cologne Court hostage as leverage against Frank while burning down Cologne Court.

While Frank was preoccupied with his thoughts, his phone rang beside him.

It was taxing to reach out and pick it up, and he was not surprised to hear Huub laughing from the other end.

Not only was he personally contacting Frank, but he was also immediately mocking. "Tut, tut. I heard you're bedridden in a hospital, Frank Lawrence… How pathetic."

Frank remained unaffected, as he said quietly, "I'd start worrying about my situation if I were you. Trust me, you'll regret what you did."

"Hahaha…"

Huub was undaunted, even laughing. "You're actually threatening me now, Frank? I still have the hostages I took from Cologne Court. Talk to me like that, and I'll make you regret it right now!"

Frank did not want to back down from Huub's threat, but he had to admit that he was at a disadvantage now and had to stay silent.
