The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 453

Helen was not surprised by Paul's refusal.

The drakeroot was his family heirloom—he would never sell it so easily.

However, Jade was immediately scowling. "You wretch! You should be honored that we want your drakeroot! You should be on your best behavior now that we need you. When I return and inform Mark Lane, he might help you soar to riches. But if anything happens to my daughter because you refused us, you and your family will be going down!"

Her words were a barenaked threat.

Paul was clenching his fist in fury but had to restrain himself at the thought of the Northstream Lanes.

They were a powerful family and basically owned Northstream, and Paul would not be able to stand against them alone.

Fortunately, the drakeroot was no longer in his hands.

At the same time, Helen quickly explained, "My aunt doesn't mean anything bad, Mr. Fielden. He's just worried about her daughter, whose condition can only be treated with the drakeroot. Please let us have it for my sister's sake."

Helen was certainly showing considerable respect, and Paul knew that he should not be stubborn at that point.

"I understand, Ms. Lane," he said quietly. "Unfortunately, I don't have the drakeroot."

"What?" The three women were dumbfounded.

They went through all that farce, but the drakeroot was never in the Fieldens' possession?!

Jade wheeled on Gina, right then, glaring as she snapped, "You said the Fieldens had it! Were you messing with me?!"

"O-Of course not! Why would I lie to you?" Gina stammered and turned to Paul. "Mr. Fielden, isn't the drakeroot a family heirloom? Why don't you have it?"

Paul smiled. "Because I sold it."
