The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 761

Mark finished, "Helen may have brought this upon us, but she's the one who did not cow to the Soranos and fought back. She's a testament to our family's dignity, and we need a leader like her."

Fleur was immediately flustered at Mark's words—she would have no place if Helen was really chosen to be the next head of the Lane family!

"You're being senile, old man!" she interrupted right then. "If you know she caused this, then you'd understand that you, Mark, or Luna wouldn't have been beaten up. It's all her fault!"

"That's right!" Luna was flustered too. "You have to think carefully about this, Grandpa!"

"Silence!" Mark bellowed and waited until everyone turned silent.

"I understand you're dissatisfied, and I have no intention to break the old rules," he said, looking around at everyone as he decided to compromise. "But I still prefer Helen's attitude, so how about this? The wager with Helen before still stands, and she must make a profit from the farm in the remaining half month. If she succeeds, you'd have to believe in her ability, don't you think?"

"And what if she fails?" Luna snorted in dissatisfaction.

"If she fails?" Mark was left musing to himself obviously.

He had been managing the farm long enough to know how difficult it was to turn a profit for it. And since he was the one who suggested the wager, he needed Helen to take some sort of risk to persuade everyone that it was a fair wager.

While he was left uncertain, Frank came forward and said, "If there's no profit from the farm in half a month, Helen's candidacy as the next head of the Lane family will be revoked forever."

The Lanes did a double take at his words, but they were soon smiling.
