Ch. 1051..1060

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1051-Helen was even more busy after being appointed as the head of the Lane family, disappearing for an entire week while reestablishing contact with Trevor Zurich.

Nonetheless, she suddenly showed up at Frank's hilltop mansion in Skywater Bay one day, dragging him away from the dining table and shoving him into her car to ride shotgun.

"You're coming withto Zamri," she said as she handily started the car and drove off, as Winter Lawrence and everyone else looked on in confusion.

"Zamri? Why?" Frank asked, not quite coming to his senses.

"I'm loaning you from Vicky," Helen said, throwing him an agreement and a ballpoint pen and instructing him curtly, "You'll be the Lane Holdings' head of security and my personal bodyguard. Just sign there and seal the deal."

"Seal the deal?" Frank chuckled as he stared at the stuff on his lap in wry amusement. "What are you up to, my dear Ms. Lane? Am | signing my own death warrant here, and can | say no?"

"Nope," Helen snapped, exceedingly pushy and jamming her foot on the gas pedal without even looking at him. "If you refuse to sign it, it's a public execution in the afternoon!"

"Oh, but can you bear to kill me…" Frank muttered under his breath, finally drawing a blush from Helen despite her overbearing attitude.

She snorted. "Stop messing around. | need your help, and it's important.” "Really?" Frank asked as he flipped through the agreement nonchalantly and suddenly realized that he would draw a five million dollar salary.

Raising a brow, he feigned indignation. "Now, now, Ms. Lane. You're rich, and you're only paying your husband five million? Aren't you underpayinghere? I'd be really discouraged with such low pay!"

As Frank closed the agreement without signing it, Helen sighed exasperatedly.

"You're just a department head—that salary is way above standard market value. | can't bend the rules… and my money is yours anyway…"

Helen trailed off, her voice exceedingly soft.

"What was that?" Frank laughed as hard as he could on purpose. "The car engine is too loud. | couldn't hear you!"

"I didn't say anything!" Helen snapped, at once embarrassed, angry and punching Frank. "If you don't want to sign it, fine! I'll get someone else to be my personal bodyguard, and we will have to cohabit!"

"What?!"

Frank suddenly turned solemn. "That won't do. It's absolutely unacceptable for my wife to cohabit with another man!"

With that, he signed the agreement.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1052-Frank chuckled. "There, Ms. Lane. I signed your slave contract." "Stop messing around. I'm driving!" Helen snapped, but she could not help smiling faintly as she glanced at the agreement. After over two hours of driving, Helen and Frank arrived at Zamri and headed straight for a thirty-floor building.

Alighting and throwing her keys to a security guard on hand to receive her, Helen finally explained why she brought him there. "This is a billion dollar investment company owned by the Lane Family and basically their lifeblood. As the head of the family, I naturally have to take control, but many board members are ganging up against me, refusing to cooperate because I'm a weak girl." "A weak girl?" Frank snorted, looking at Helen from head to toe.

She was dressed in a business suit that revealed a part of her collarbone and accentuated her lips.

Coupled with her black silk thigh highs, she was an imposing, professional businesswoman who could clearly hold her own. Weak girl was certainly far from the truth.

Helen could see Frank's doubt right then and sighed exasperatedly. "Look, that's how my situation is at the moment even if the truth is far from that. I may be the chairperson, but if the board keeps resetting my leadership, I'd lose control over the company and even my shares. Obviously, I wasn't twiddling my thumbs last week-my plans are already in place, but I'm still concerned that they'd resort to violence." "Oh, I see." Frank nodded-so she really was hiring him as a bodyguard.

Helen pouted, seeing his disinterest. "What, so you're refusing? Or would you rather protect Vicky than me?" "Of course I'll protect you. I'd take down anyone who dares lay a finger on my wife!" Frank was at once alert at the mention of Vicky, even holding up three fingers to swear.

Helen giggled at Frank's overly serious reaction.

The security guard nearby was left dumbfounded as he saw that smile after parking Helen's car.

He had heard this morning that the new chairperson from the Lane family was a beauty, but Helen still surprised him despite being prepared.

"Is she a goddess incarnate…?" He gulped but quickly returned to fool of himself if he kept stet post, worried that he would a "Alright, con," Helen said just then, suddenly an ice queen again.

Frank followed, looking completely out of sorts in his casualwear and obviously lacking as a bodyguard.

Meanwhile, in the conference room upstairs, over a dozen men were sitting around a meeting table.

One of them was bald and seated at the end. He clearly appeared to be ne the ringleader, listening as another board member with a mustache- growled unhappily, "What are we going to do about this, Kallum? Are we just going to lie down and let sgal walk all over us? "Exactly! Honestly, what was Mark Lane thinking, retiring and appointing a woman as the head of the Lane family?!"

"Well, the agreement we had with Fleur Lang is now completely moot." "I heard that the Lane family had ssort of incident and allowed a fringe member to take control after. Say Something, Kallum… Are we really going to follow her from now on?

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1053-Kallum Gaetz looked around at the board members sitting around the table and flashed a calm smile.

He even beckoned to his pretty secretary to light his cigar, breathing a large puff before looking up and chuckling. "What's there to worry about? A woman and a fringe member of the Lane family… Does she think she can be our boss just because she was airdropped on us? Who does she think she is?" His smile then turned dark. "As long as we work together, what can a woman do to us? We just have to band up against her, protesting and refusing to comply with any policy she makes… I really doubt she'll last against us for a month. In the end, she'll just recognize reality and return where she cfrom!" Kallum's suggestion left every other board member giving him a thumbs up. He really was the boss here!

Still, a bespectacled middle-aged man who appeared soft-spoken rose to his

feet. "But what if she proves to be a complete novice and insists on standing against us? We can't afford to drag this out!" Kallum actually frowned. "Mr.

Briggs, don't tellthat Accounting hasn't sorted out the ledgers?" Owen Briggs shook his head. "We just can't. There's Mr. Zork's gambling debt, and then the 200 million dollar project which wasn't paid for because of the sinkhole incident.

If the new chairwoman looks into it, there's no way we can hide it." "Then don't let her investigate at all!" Kallum waved off Owen impatiently. "Effective immediately, all accounting staff will work from home, and keep every piece of ledger with you!" "Oh, that's a good idea!" The other board members, who were starting to scowl because Owen's complaint, were idelighted. Content be immediately englishto "That's not all either… I still have other plans in place."

1Kallum added smugly, "If that woman insists on fighting to the bitter end, I show her why one shouldn't mess with a man in his own turf T'll get speople to vanisk her, and none would be the wiser. If push comes to shove, there will be a new head of the Lane family and chairperson, but one who's compliant to us."

Every other scheming board member gasped, impressed by Kallum's elaborate plans.

"So? Anyone have any other concerns? That woman will be here soon," Kallum asked, looking around the table.

As no one spoke, he chuckled coolly.

"To be fair, she does hold a majority of the company's shares, but if we stand together, we get to decide policy. As long as no one here falters, we'll be fineand if you do, you know what's coming for you." || The other board members were shaking their heads confidently at Kallum's subtle threat.

"Con, Kallum—we're all men here. Would we really allow schick to walk all over us?" "Exactly. I wouldn't even let her warm my bed." "Hahaha…" As the conference room resounded with sleazy laughter, Frank and Helen arrived

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1054-As the elevator doors opened with a jingle, Helen and Frank strode out.

Helen could hear the rowdy laughter from the conference room, but she remained impassive as she calmly and determinedly strode through the hallway and entered.

The conference room was immediately silent.

As Frank followed Helen in sight, he could see that the board members were stunned by Helen's beauty, and he heard the subtle gasps.

They had heard that the new chairwoman was a beauty, but not one of such proportions! An ice beauty with a perfect face? She was the ideal subject of

conquest for any man! Their eyes were hence fixed on Helen, unable to look away.

For her part, Helen did not appear upset with the stifling scent of tobacco in the room, and instead strode up to Kallum's seat while carrying a stack of document folders.

"Mr. Gaetz, was it? Did no one tell you that's the chairperson's seat?" She asked impassively at Kallum and quietly added, "And I'm enforcing a new rule-no smoking in the conference room, especially during board meetings." With that, she snatched the cigar out of Kallum's mouth and snuffed it out.

Kallum was left dumbstruck-he did not expect that despite being a woman, she went for the blood right away, embarrassing him on the spot.

Helen's move left the other board members stunned too, but all of them stayed silent in case they upset Kallum, who was on the verge of exploding.

After all, Kallum's influence in the company was deeply entrenched, and he was backed by many kingpins.

In fact, there were no more than a handful of individuals in Zamri who would challenge him.

And yet, this newly appointed chairwoman would…

Shaking their heads, they could only lament that despite her good looks, she was too dumb to live. "Heh…" Kallum eventually broke the suffocating silence, tapping his fingers on the table while lookat Helen in amusement. "So, you're the new chairwoman?" Helen could see that he was not moving from his seat but did not flinch and replied sharply, "Yes, I am." "Then are you aware that this meeting has already been going on for an hour? In other words, you're late."

Kallum kept tapping his fingers on the table as he subtly looked up at Helen, intent on misdirection.

He just did not expect her to smile coolly instead of panicking.

She had made it a point to cthirty minutes earlier, and the meeting was never rescheduled.

Kallum was obviously trying to make her look bad.

Moreover, the board members had already taken their seats even before she came, clearly showing her no respect as they did not even prepare a seat for her. Even Kallum's secretary had a seat, while Helen had to stand-they were all clearly trying to show her who was boss.

Hence, even as Helen smiled, her tone was stern and threatening. "Actually, Kallum, you're the one who must have been informed that I'm now the head of the Lane family and the chairwoman of Lanecorp have the right to confiscate your shares if you refuse to budge." "Really? You'll take my shares?" Kallum chuckled, as if Helen was joking.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1055-Kallum glanced at the other board members and insolently took off his shoes to put his feet on the table, as if he was in his own house.

Snorting in amusement, he then asked, "So? How are you going to confiscate my shares, Ms. Lane? Did you think sverbal threat would intimidate me? Go on, do it-let's see if you can actually carry out your threat." The other board members also quickly joined in, voicing their disapproval.

"You're a fringe member of the Lane family, Helen Lane! Mr. Gaetz has always been in charge here-show srespect!" "Exactly. A woman like you trying to lord over us? You really give yourself too much credit!" "Strutting as soon as you cin and demanding Kallum to give up his seat?! Just stand there and shut up!" "You

can make us coffee since you have nothing to do anyway… And make it extra milky." As the board members laughed rowdily, Helen's gaze cooled.

She had been prepared for over a dozen scenarios before she cand was prepared for the worst.

However, the situation was simply worse than that-they were already determined to oppose her.

Not bothered that Kallum refused to give up his seat, Helen took a deep breath and smiled icily.

Since they refused to respect her, she had no reason to respect them either.

After all, she had not been idling for the past week. She had spent most of her tinvestigating other channels, ranging from suppliers, retailers, even bottomlevel employees.

She quickly uncovered many irregularities, and with her years of experience as a business woman, she quickly realized that Lane Holdings only appeared shiny on the outside and was actually hollow on the inside. And the worst of the company were these board members, who were involved in every form of corruption: embezzlement, nepotism, and one of them even paid their gambling debts with company funds.

It was outrageous, to say the least.

And right now, Helen was holding documents compiling the crimes of every board member, gathered over the past week.

Since they did not afford her due respect, she had no reason to say more.

Taking out the document certifying her appointment, she looked at the et board members around the table and said, "First and foremost, you must all understand that I am the majority shareholder here, and the representative of Lane family's interest. That makesyour chairwoman-you can refuse to comply but I have the privilege to forfeit your stake over Lanecorp." Kallum simply chuckled and groaned sarcastically, "The majority shareholder? The representative of Lane family's interest? Oh, my… who do you think you're talking to, Ms.

Lane? Did you think a sheet of paper would make us comply?" "If any of you have a complaint, put it up with the Lane family," Helen retorted coolly.

"Well, we don't have any complaints." Kallum flashed a sleazy grin. "After all, you're as beautiful as an angel, and not many would compare… But we're simply refusing to cooperate." "Exactly!" A board member quickly agreed. "We won't cooperate!" "I don't care what happens in the Lane family, but we have contributed our blood and sweat to Lanecorp… and they're now suddenly letting swoman walk all over us, telling us what to do?!

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1056-The other board members quickly agreed with Kallum.

"Exactly! There's no way we'd cooperate!" "We can understand airdropping a new leader on us… but a woman and a member of the Lane family? And someone who hasn't even been to Zamri?" "Not only did you refuse to behave on your first day of the job, but you're already flexing your authority… I mean, a new rule in the conference room? Are you kidding me?" "You have no competence, no influence, and no connections. What, are you going to bring in new clients for us with your pretty face?" "Pfft… Hahaha…" The board members kept insulting Helen, with one sleazebag even mocking her for her youth and beauty.

"Are you done?" Helen remained impassive as she watched them, still standing proudly by the meeting table when they stopped laughing.

Then, she spoke bluntly, "It's the Lane family who decided that I'll take over this investment company. None of you get to be upset with this decision… Also, contributing to this company? You bloodsuckers must be kidding." "I've done my homework-the company keeps getting new invoices every year, but finances stay in the red for years. Why? I get why you're so afraid oftaking ет charge it's because I'd prevent you from your shady dealings. You're all wolves in sheep's clothing, tobe honest. Criminal negligence, unlawful salary deduction, embezzling, abuse of company funds, even selling company secrets… I can list down every single dirty deed each of you has ever done!" As the board members looked on in shock, Helen paused and laughed icily. "I'd never have taken over a crappy company like this, but I'm the head of the Lane family and I'm obliged to remove any cancerogrowth on our interest. So lettell Youin no uncertain terms-ve cto chase you wretches out of Lanecorp and bring the company back on track. Anyone who's upset with that can resign, and I won't stop you!" The silence was deafening once Helen finished.

Through it all, Frank had been watching interestedly.

It went without saying how stylishly Helen conducted herself, retaliating against the entire board despite. being outnumbered. One expected nothing less from his girl-she really was feisty. Content belongs to sŵStill, the thought made Frank realize why Helen had him cwith her.

If these men got pushed too far and decided to stand against Helen, she would really be in danger.

After that, she would have to be on her toes to prepare against any personal reprisals from them, and those were all points of concern from Frank.

"Well, being stylish is costly." Frank sighed, though he felt a little proud inwardly.

"Are you really going to oppose us, Helen Lane?" Kallum growled as she rose to his feet, meeting Helen's glare.

"You're the ones who refused to respectin the first place." Helen sneered. "Pot calling the kettle black much?"

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1057 -Kallum narrowed his eyes and grinned savagely. "Hmph. Don't think you can intimidate us! Resign? So be it-let's see how you can run the company by yourself!" "Yeah! We're coming with you, Kallum!" "Let's see how she'd do without us!" "You'd be begging on your knees!" All the board members rose to their feet, led by the senior members.

Only the scrawny Owen Briggs remained in his seat.

He wanted to stand too, but he was afraid since he noticed Helen's sharp glare.

After all, his accounting department was in a precarious position, as they were in charge of all the financial data and ledgers for the company.

And since Owen had been cleaning up the other board members' mess endlessly, he was as good as dead if Helen really started asking questions.

However, that was not the case for the other board members.

After all, they were dead sure that Helen would cave and beg them to stop-if the rest of the board went on strike, the company operations would stall, even go bankrupt.

That was why they had nothing to fear, even deliberately walking slowly.

"Wait!" Just as the board members were about to leave the room, Helen stopped them just as they expected.

"Oh… Honestly, why bother with posturing at all?" "Exactly. We're all here to make money-why so serious?" "As long as you apologize, we can pretend nothing happened. You'll be the chairwoman, we'll take what we are entitled to, and we'll stay out of each other's way." "That's right-we might even give you a cut, how about that?" Seeing that they were absolutely despicable, Helen was finally furious.

She remained impassive as the board members returned to their seats, and she suddenly slammed her palm on the table with a loud bang.

They were all left stunned, unsure of what she was up to.

Helen looked coolly at their shocked faces, including Kallum's. "Did you all think that you could get off scot-free after what you've done? That wouldn't press the issue?" Picking up one of the document folders, she said, "Mr. King, I wasz informed that you're keeping multiple mistresses and footing the bill for their lifestyles with company money. Or is that not true?" In the folder was photos of Mr. King's three mistresses and the bills they racked up amounting to forty million dollars.

Though he had been insulting Helen endlessly earlier, Mr. King was stiffened right then, his legs trembling and his face turning pale as he read the evidence against him.

Helen had just come-how could she have known about such secrets? Did someone rat him out?! He promptly glared viciously at Owen-he was the only one who knew! "Mr. Zork." At the stime, Helen pushed another folder to a pudgy middle-aged board member, asking coolly, "Your business trip to Southdam last month was actually a trip to the casino, wasn't it? Losing twenty million dollars of the company's money… You were staying in Room 905 and called two pretty masseuses to your room at 2 AM, paying them five grand each."

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1058-Helen opened the folder in front of Mr. Zork, leaving him gaping. "There.

Security photos of you in the act." How could Helen have found out?! This was top secret, and Owen was the only one who could have known since Mr. Zork reported his expenses to him! As such, Mr. Zork was leveling a death glare at Owen too, his eyes almost shooting flames.

"Naturally, the biggest problem our company has is you, Mr. Kallum Gaetz. As acting CFO, you've really set a new bar in corruption." Helen strode behind Kallum and slammed a document on the table in front of him, saying quietly, "Every yearly ledger showed profits… that is, before it gets passed to you for review. Afterward, everything will be in the red, and the Lane family would have to pay up for it… If anything, I must admit that you have balls." Then, clapping Kallum on the shoulder, Helen finished, "Either way, I've reviewed the ledgers

over the last few years. If you have any questions, you may ask them now."

Kallum's eyes were narrowed, while beads of sweat trickled down his face.

Caught in disbelief, he picked up the document, and he was soon turning pale and sweating even more once he read it. And it was just the start.

As Helen looked around, none of the other board members dared to meet her eyes, since they were more or less involved. However, Helen was merciless and continued to elaborate on each of their crimes and everything they had done while holding their current positions.

Included in the list were bribery, embezzling company capital, nepotism, establishing cliques, ousting senior figures in the company, and having sexual liaisons in the office.

et Helen strode around the meeting table, stopping by each board member and listing out precisely what crimes they had done. If they argued, she would slam solid evidence right in front of their faces, silencing them. Eventually, she stopped beside Owen, the head of accounting.

et "As for you, Mr. Briggs…" Helen smiled faintly. "You're actually different since you didn't actually actively break company laws… but you're still culpable, if not the worst of everyone here. And I'm sure you know why." "Y-Yes…" Owen was on the verge of tears, his heart almost giving out because the other board members were all glaring at him spitefully.

After all Owen was the only one who had dirt on everyone in the company, but he also felt indignant-how could he have ratted them out? He had never met Helen before! That was just how amazing she is, revealing stuff even Owen himself did not know about, presenting concrete evidence to back up everything she said.

Nonetheless, Helen walked up to him and said quietly, "Mr. Briggs,d am stillin need of your services. So I wonder which you'd prefer-keeping your job or rotting in jail? Or maybe… suffering their revenge?" "I-I'll keep my job," Owen gulped.

He was just an accountant and not a schemer, not to mention that he really had no choice when he was facing pressure from all sides! The conference room was once again silent, and the board members were no longer as pompous as before.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1059-After all, Helen could have all of the entire board jailed if she willed it.

They were all scowling-they certainly had no idea how Helen got her hands on the evidence against them, with every last bit of detail included. All they could do was to blOwen now.

In the first place, they were supposed to assert their authority over Helen as she took on her new position.

Instead, she turned the tables and revealed all the dirt she had on them. She was clearly more than just a pretty face-she was a fighter who could throw a punch.

"Either way, I'm done." Helen shrugged just then. "You can all leave now, and I won't stop anyone here or plead for you to stay like you hope for. Instead, these documents will be publicized, and I will call for a shareholders' meeting where we will decide your respective replacements. You will all pay for your stupidity."

Her blunt words finally made them understand, and Mr. King-who had been insulting Helen in every way possible earlier-dropped to his knees with a thud.

"M-Ms. Lane! Please, anything but that!" he begged. "I promise… I'd never do it again! I will forfeit all my stocks and leave Lane Holdings. Just don't present those documents! I still have a family to feed!" Helen stayed impassive despite the man's tearful pleas, saying nothing.

Thud! Then, Mr. Zock was on his knees too. "I-I apologize for my rudeness before too. Please, I'll say yes to anything. Just don't publicize those documents! I'll never do it again!" "What…" The sight of both men dropping to their knees before a woman left Kallum seething beyond words. Pointing a shaking finger at them, he bellowed, "Where's your honor? What did you just promise me?! We could just kill her and be done with it But you had to embarrass everyone so thoroughly!" Despite Kallum's outburst, Mr. Zork looked up at him gingerly. "You ne should quit being stubborn, Kattum.

At least we have a shot at parole, but you're already on death row! "That's right,"

Mr. King added hesitantly. "You should really start worrying about yourself instead of getting mad at us.' "What…" Kallum was stumped.

"Ms. Lane, w-we were forced into this! Kallum threatened us!" As both men yielded to Helen, the other board members abandoned their pride and started pleading to Helen too, with seven turning on Kallum to accuse him.

Kallum could choke to death right then.

"Traitors… spineless wimps!" he howled.

But to everyone else, it was just the sad yapping of the defeated. There was no authority to it whatsoever.

The board members were no fools-Heten already proved that she was capable enough to dig out their dirty laundry. Even if kalun vowed dirty laundry. Even it kaluna vowed that he Would kill Helen, would she really be unprepared against him?

She simply did not fear Kallum. After all, she was now the head of the Lane family, and if Kallum really wanted to get tough with her, he would fall short.

And judging from Helen's performance, she was an iron ady despite ler pretty face.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1060-As the board members all realized that Helen may be better than Kallum, they knew that their best option right now was to apologize and surrender their authority in hopes that Helen would keep them around.

That was the only way to keep what they had instead of losing everything. It was frustrating, but none of them had the guts to oppose Helen now.

All the contempt and dismissive attitude before was now replaced by fear and reverence.

"Hmph. Since you're all being so earned, I guess I can forgive you." Helen glanced at Frank before looking around at the board members. "I promise not to pursue responsibility for your previous transgressions, but you are still obliged to

reimburse the company for the damages you cause. I have taken over this company with the goal to lead it to new heights, and I promise that no one would lose out if you are with me. Everyone would be showered in riches, even… So, can you do that?" The board members were certainly grateful for her extraordinary magnanimity and kept bowing their heads in thanks.

After all, they had two choices: with the first, they were allowed to make amends and keep their jobs, while the company headed to a brighter future.

With the second, they would lose everything-even their freedom.

No one except fools would choose poorly here, and almost every board member had chosen to pledge their loyalty to Helen. Only Kallum was glowering, his gaze evasive and his thoughts inscrutable.

"My wife is really scary." Frank smiled in his corner.

Even he had to admit that Helen was a cold, lethal ice queen when she was being professional.

Her carrot and stick method certainly reined in the fickle board members, and it was all done in under half an hour since they arrived.

Helen then turned to Kallum. "It seems that you're still reluctant to join me, Mr.

As the ringleader, he was the most volatile board member, but Helen had no intention of forgiving him from the start either After all, he had abused his authority for years, embezzling so much capital from Lane Holdings that they could execute him ten times over. Kallum finally looked up at that.

Whipping out his phone and el brandishing the lit screen at Helen, he narrowed his eyes and laughed at her. "Haha! I must admit that you're as well connected as you are competent, Ms. Land but ifs far from ehough. you still don't understand the depth of my might!" Slowly rising to his feet, he continued, "'ve already done my homework You're just a woman with a freeloading gigolo constantly tagging along after you, and you think you can takedown in my own turf? How naive!" The door.

was kicked open with a bang right then, and a bunch of goons wearing black suits charged inside the conference room menacingly.

"Now, letteach you your last lesson in life." Kallum laughed haughtily? "In this wond, might makes right!"

Gaetz. Perhaps you have more to say?" Kallum was the only problem they had now.
