The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 697

On the other hand, Vicky was smiling. "You must be Fleur Lang, ma'am. Your reputation precedes you… Oh, where are my manners? Would you like some tea? I can pour you some."

She really enjoyed stepping on toes, gleeful even as she mentioned the tea incident of the previous night and leaving Fleur glowering.

Jade, who had enough, snapped at Vicky right then, "Ms. Turnbull, you should stay in line even if your family is important in Morhen. We aren't afraid of you."

Vicky gasped in dramatic surprise. "Whoa, you must be Jade Zahn! Hello to you too—I heard that my darling husband Frank Lawrence saved your daughter, yes?"

She certainly was no punching bag like Helen, and her mention of that life debt left Jade and Luna pursing their lips grumpily.

"I mean, a life debt lasts forever, doesn't it? But why does it feel like neither of you are grateful?"

Vicky sighed in exaggerated disappointment just then. "Such a shame I'm not as noble as my husband—I mean, if I saved someone and they still have the cheek to slander me for molestation, I'd really punish them behind their back. Who knows, they might be poisoned without knowing it!"

Vicky's pointed supposition actually spooked Luna, and she hurried off, lifting her sleeves to check.

Jade strode up right then, shielding Luna behind her. "This is the Lane family business, Ms. Turnbull! Stay out of this!"

"Oh, I certainly do, but my hands are tied!" Vicky shrugged. "Helen borrowed my money. I'm now bearing a risk as her creditor, so I have a right to check if her investment is a prudent one, don't you think?"

Vicky's smile never faded even as she brought down the women of the Lane family a peg.

They certainly knew Vicky was infamous for her sharp tongue, and they would not get anything out of verbal fencing against her.

Instead, Fleur turned her sights on Frank, snorting under her breath, "Two-timing bastard. Despicable."
