Ch. 1061..1070
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1061-The tic entrance of the goons left everyone stunned.
However, it was clear that Kallum had arranged for them to wait near the conference room, then charge inside once he gave the signal and kill everyone.
The board members who had just turned against him becpale at the sight, even as they felt pangs of danger.
Kallum was laughing loudly in turn, as if everyone there was beneath him.
"Don't worry, Helen." He gloated. "You won't die alone-these spineless vermin are coming with you! Keep dreaming big when you're dead, boys! Hahaha!!!"
Unexpectedly, Helen did not panic even as she watched the goons charge in.
In fact, she was sneering. "Don't you think you're being naive here, Mr. Gaetz?
Did you really think I wasn't ready for a fight? Of course I expected this!" On one hand, she was offering the panicky board members assurance so they did not have to change sides again.
On the other, she was attempting to intimidate Kallum, but he was not falling for it at all.
In fact, he sneered. "I don't doubt that you have ssort of trump card, Ms. Lane, but are you really pinning your hopes on your pretty boy secretary over there?"
He was staring pointedly at Frank, whom he presumed to be Helen's secretary.
Frank had to look left and right before pointing at himself in surprise. "By pretty boy secretary, do you mean me?" Kallum completely ignored him and kept laughing viciously. "I'm sure you never expectedto arrange for an ambush beforehand, did you? Bluffing doesn't work here! And since you refuse to cooperate, there's nothing more to discuss-go! Kill everyone in this room this instant before they can pull something out of their ass!" From a certain point of view, Kallum was impressive as he knew it was important to attack quickly and deny his opponents a chance to fight back.
Unfortunately for him, however, he did St Someone as g by Helen all this wooleas Frank to be are "Die!" One of the goons leapt forward before the others, leaping over the table toward Helen, machete in hand.
Helen backed away and nodded exasperatedly at Frank-they must pacify the situation at hand, and anything else could wait.
Frank cleared his throat just then.
"Ahem… Allowto explain: I'm no head of the health and Saromet secretary-I'm the newly appointed department, you hear? then, he meved like a ghost, suddenly in front of Helen as he kicked the goon leaping toward her. Clang! The goon crashed out of the window, and a cool gale immediately rushed inside.
As the conference room was twenty floors above, the screams of the goon was especially harrowing.M "What? the health and safety department?!" Seeing Frank's brisk kick, a look of surprise showed on Kallum's earlier triumphant face.
. Weren't you going to attack Ms. Lane?" He gloated. "Though you'd have to get pastfirst."
And he had never even heard of the health and safety department! On, the other hand, Frank yeapf up fo the table, flexing his neck and wrists before beckoning at the other e flinching goons with a Others, finger.
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1062-At the sight of Frank's insolence, the other goons were all provoked.
"Let's go together!" they shouted all at once and charged toward Frank as one.
Clang! Frank aimed with perfect timing, kicking another charging goon through yet another window.
The other goons were naturally not spared either, and Frank remained standing on the table as he stopped all of them from passing him.
Over ten of the goons were sent flying in under half a minute, and since they were sent flying out of the window from the twentieth floor, surviving was basically out of the question.
Their screams were harrowing enough. Seeing Frank's nonchalance on top of that left the board members who had just sworn fealty to Helen dead silent.
However, they were all rejoicing inwardly that they were not being stubborn enough to stick with Kallum against their new board chairman.
Otherwise, Helen would have them thrown out the window instead-at that point, compensation would be a little too late. They would certainly lose everything when they were dead! "H-Help…" The last goon was clearly petrified, and he threw away his machete to turn and run.
"Running?" Clang! Frank leapt off the table and grabbed him by the head, smashing him into the remaining window.
The goon was briefly stunned as the window shattered.
And by the the cto his senses, he found half of himself hanging outside the window, and he started screaming endlessly.
Holding the goon by the back of his collar, Frank asked, "Tell me, who are you boys? Who's the one backing Kallum?" His fingers seemed to loosen for a moment just then and the goon could feel himself falling, causing him to scream again.
As the goon stared downward at the ant-like pedestrians along the street, his face turned pale and his legs trembled. He almost did not hesitate to wet himself.
"No! Don't he screamed. "We're et just… hired muscle from Victorget… And our boss is Cadum Springer. He has connections in Morhen! You can't kill me! You can't-Argh!" Frank released the goon out of impatience before he could finish.
Even if he tried to make himself sound important, he was a death dealer at best and a common thug at worst. Since they were so ready to draw blood, it could well mean that they were already involved with murder.
If anything, ridding them was justice.
And once he was done, Frank dusted his perfectly clean hands and returned to stand behind Helen.
The vibes in the entire conference were different now, with every board member staring at Frank in fear.
No matter how slow they were, they could see that Frank was amartial elite and a formidable one at that.
It was not surprising now that Helen basically calone-her backup was enough.
Helen slowly walked toward Kallum just then, her red lips curling into a sneer as she folded her armsbefore her chest. How about that, M Gaetz?
Aré you going to give up your seat or not?" Kallum cto his senses at her question and promptly stood up, respectfully making way for her.
Nonetheless, Helen did not sit.
She merely cast a look of disgust at the chair Kallum sat on before turning toward the other board turning toward the gthen board m members and pursing her lips. "So, what do you think we should do with Mr Gaetz now?" "Any ideas? Feel free to speak your mind."
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1063-"I suggest we be rid of him right away, to serve as a warning to the others!" "No, we have to make him return every last dhe stole from the company over the years!" "Yes! We will do that, and then get rid of him!" Kallum was certainly furious to hear that the board members who were so loyal to him before were now ready to lynch him.
However, he was afraid to say a thing, even as he subtly glanced at Frank while wondering if he could take Helen hostage before Frank realized it.
On the other hand, Helen was hiding a giggle as she listened to the board members' shouts of indignation even as they scapegoated Kallum.
Turning to Kallum, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "So, Mr. Gaetz. Do you yield or not?" Kallum turned away-how could she still ask something so pointless at this stage?! But he was already set on this path, and he shall see through it! "No, I refuse!" he snapped coolly. "You may be able to fool these idiots, but not me! You're just coercing them to cooperate, or Lanecorp would fall to chaos with a sudden purge of executives! You'll abandon them in time, or am I wrong?" The board members were once again snapping and condemning Kallum's rant, but they were also casting looks of concern at Helen.
After all, Kallum had a point which concerned them-Helen had leverage against them, so it was only natural that they were wary.
And yet, Helen did not worry at all, even holding up a hand to stop their outburst as she sneered. "I'm not a person who disposes of personnel like tools. I promise—if I'm not betrayed, of course—that I'll be increasing every board member's bonus by twenty percent at the end of the year and giving a fifty percent base salary increment." The board members' eyes lit up at Helen's promised boons.
Her assurance that they would make even more money together already boosted morale.
As for the specific numbers she provided now, it meant that she was not just providing lip service.
If Helen failed to fulfill her promise, it was on her.
It was an almost insignificant excuse, but it was enough to assure the board members since they were worried Helen would abandon them once she was done with them. And since Helen offered a promise, they did not lose anything if she fulfilled it, and they could just walk away if she failed.
Aside from the head accountant Owen Briggs, the other board members just had to make sure they paid for what they had taken and Helen's leverage would be void in months. Embezzlement? What embezzlement? And seeing that the other board members were now looking at Helen respectfully instead of fearfully, Kallum quickly realized that he had fallen for Helen's trap.
Helen was using him to bring to light.
the board's doubts toward hen m offering them fürther assurance and reining them in for her cause.
However, that also gave Kallum an idea-since she was using him anyway, he could use this against her! "Helen Lane," he said bundly, " ip service ah&your health and safety department.is pointless. Making money isn't done by words alone if you want everyone in the company to follow you, you should show that you can actually achieve something!"
"Really? Achieve what?" Helen asked.
Seeing that she took the bait, Kallum was awash with glee, but he kept a straight face.
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1064-Kallum said coolly, "There are three tasks that Lanecorp needs to see urgently.
Fulfill them, then I will pay every dI've taken and turn myself in to the police."
Then, giving Helen a sideways glare of disdain, he said, "How about that? Are you brave enough?" "Why should I play along?" Helen shot him an incredulous glare in turn. "I'll deliver you to the authorities right away. Think you still have the right to negotiate?" "Hahaha!" Kallum laughed, surprisingly unfettered. "You're too naive, Ms. Lane! Like I said, I have a way out-all the money I took has been donated to a charity organization, which I own myself. However, the headquarters is abroad. Sure, I'd be killed if you tookto the cops, but you're not getting anything back!" Helen was left staring at Kallum's smug face, scowling.
She did not expect such a move from the sly old fox, and she really had to be careful with what he plans now.
Kallum shrugged in turn. "Don't worry-it's just three tasks, and it's for the company's sake and nothing is impossible at all. I'll even put it in writing if you want. Do it, and you won't hear a thing from me… You will have every dof your family's money back!" It was all too obvious something was fishy with those three tasks, but Helen could not accept Lanecorp losing all that money without doing anything.
And having just becthe head of the Lane family, she ought to show sresults.
Eventually, she sighed and accepted the deal.
Kallum grinned smugly as he mentioned the first two.
The first was to go to Victorget and collect the debt that they owed Lanecorp for two years.
The second was for Lanecorp to secure at least three plots of land at the auction in South Zamri next week which would be used for property development. S "What about the third?" Helen asked, watching Kallum closely.
He shook his head in disdain. "I'll tell you if you complete the first two." "Fine."
Helen agreed to it without hesitation.
The other board members could already see that the two tasks were impossible.
However, when Owen was ready to stand and speak up, they glared at him threateningly, making him back off. Content belongs englishSW After all, they were keen to see how far Helen could go.
Collecting a debt from Victorget was already a troublestask i not deadly.
It was only after Helen left the et windowless conference room that Helen Saw Cindy Zandarunning toward her panting. "Has the meeting started?" Helen glowered at her and snorted. "It's over." "What?
Already?!" Cindy was at a loss.
Helen's eyes were glued on her.
"Weren't you informed that the m meeting was brought forward by an hour?"
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1065-"Oh!" Cindy exclaimed, smacking herself in the head as she realized with a start. "Sorry, Helen. I was busy on a date with my boyfriend, so I forgot…"
"Urgh…" Helen was speechless.
Gina Zonda had bugged her constantly for a while-that was why Helen gave Cindy a job at all.
However, Cindy had somehow managed to hook up with a hunk from the urban development department of Zamri. When he asked her about her job, Cindy said she was working for the Lane family to avoid embarrassment.
The hunk mistook that for Lanecorp of Zamri, and not Lane Holdings of Riverton.
That was why Cindy asked her Aunt Gina to beg Helen for a job at Lanecorp.
Helen was now the head of the Lane family-arranging for a job could not be easier.
Helen, however, was left with a migraine over the issue.
It was true that it was easy to arrange a job for Cindy, but the problem was that Cindy knew nothing except fooling around.
But in the end, Helen caving to Gina's pestering allowed Cindy to work for her as a secretary, acting as a runner or making her tea.
Helen just did not expect Cindy to assert her authority the first day at work. Not only had she been playing around with her new boyfriend past midnight, but she had forgotten all about her work and was late by an hour! UMS lAs a matter of fact, Helen's evidence against the board members, which she had presented earlier, was delivered by her other secretary from Riverton. While she had electronic copies that were even more detailed, they were in her laptop, which she had left in Cindy's care here in Zamri last night while she returned to Riverton to bring Frank over. She really did not take into account that Cindy would fail even at that if she had her laptop, the documents and contents would have made that board meeting so much easier.
As Helen rubbed her temples, she looked at Cindy in her business suit, repressing her rage as she asked, "Where's my laptop? Why didn't you bring it with you?" "Oh… whoops, I forgot!" Cindy flinched like a catm which hadds tall stepped on. "Will was playing svideo games with it last.
night. I must have left it at his place!"
"What?!" Helen could choke.
"Company secrets were saved in that laptop! No one can be allowed to see.
it-l told you that before I left! And you let your boyfriend use it?!" "What are you being so upset about, Helen?".
Cindy made a face, and whipped out her phone. "I just forgot… I'll call Will to bring it over, okay?" Speechless, Helen whipped out her phone and dialed Gina's number.
"Hello? Helen?" Gina chirped Cher ly the out the reing gor?
right?" Helen took a deep breath-Gina really knew how to rub it in on the get-go.
"I'm sending Cindy back right now,"
she snapped coldly. "My company doesn't need someone like her. And no-nothing you say will change my mind!"
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1066-And with those words, Helen did not stop to listen to what Gina had to say and hung up.
"What?!" Cindy snapped right then, incredulous. "Am I missing something here?! How could you be so petty, Helen?! I was only late and neglected your laptop, and you're throwing a fit?! I'm your cousin, and Will has already personally delivered your laptop! What more do you want?! He's a busy man, and he's already being more than respectful by bringing it back to you!" Cindy's outburst almost ruptured the veins in Helen's temples.
Snorting in disappointment, she strode to her office while shaking her head, not inclined to breathe another word to Cindy.
"Honestly, what's your problem?!" Cindy remained where she was, stamping her feet.
Nearby, Frank stood watching idly with a look that said it was none of his business.
He was just in charge of security and nothing else, though he could feel Helen's blood pressure skyrocketing, and she was at her limit.
As a girlboss, Frank had seen how Helen often asked her employees to be serious, responsible, and efficient.
Still, she did not take into account how terrible Cindy could be, and she was probably cursing inwardly.
While it was terrible, Frank found it somehow hilarious since it had been awhile since Helen had been so exasperated.
It was certainly rare for an ice queen to be left speechless.
Still, as Frank followed Helen into her office, he was surprised to find Owen standing there.
The cowering, bespectacled head of accounting was doing his best to dissuade Helen. "I know you want to prove yourself, Ms. Lane, but this isn't the way to do it!" Owen then noticed Frank and Cindy walking in and quickly turned quiet.
Helen felt a migraine when she saw Cindy, but she gestured at Owen.
"Continue." Seeing that Helen trusted both of them, Owen spoke quickly and anxiously, "Please, Ms. Lane.
Victorget is not your ordinary security company. They have the backing of a major Morhen faction, and their employees are every sort of scoundrel. Zamri's scourge, that's what they are! If you really did as Kallum said and tried to collect a debt from them, then you might…"
"What?" Helen asked, raising a brow.
Still, she inadvertently noticed Frank watching in glee nearby and rolled her eyes at him.
"You might…" Owen gritted his teeth, but offered himself to finish, "Get killed!" Cindy gasped and quickly sprang to her feet, "Youse collecting a,debt, Nelen? I mean, this nice man already said we won't get that money! Let's just give up and let them have that money, or we'd lose more than what we bargained for!"
Helen was ready to snap at Cindy for.
speaking out of turn but ultimately restrained herself.
Turning back to Owen, she said, "Mr.
Briggs, l understand that you cout, or concern for me andyour show of Idyalty.is to avoid getting caught in the board's conspiracies. Rest assured that you are safe from me."
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1067-Helen paused before continuing, "However, now that I'm the head of Lanecorp, I must take back what we're owed. Understand?" "I do, but…" Owen was still worried-Helen was from Riverton and had not been around Zambir long enough to know how terrible Victorget could be.
After all, their work was a completely gray area-they had a ton of professional bodyguards and grunts, along with a number of martial artists.
In fact, the debt Kallum was talking about was just the biennial fee that he had recently paid them in advance.
And now, Helen was supposed to take back the money from them? It was no different from going straight into the wolf's den.
"It's fine. Don't worry about-I have my head of security with me," Helen said just then, her meaning all too obvious.
"Are you serious, Helen?!" Cindy exclaimed. "You're really counting on Frank to deal with an entire company of grunts? I know he's good, but-" She suddenly stopped, as Helen was already shooting her a warning glare.
Another word, and Helen was really going to have her put her down. Even if she could tolerate her negligence, she would not abide with Cindy disrespecting Frank! "T-Then… I shall leave you to it…" Owen sighed and left, seeing that Helen was not changing her mind.
It was obvious he had no confidence in Helen at all, and he was still sighing even as he left her office. "I just hope that she can leave Victorget in one piece…." Frank just happened to hear that, elbet just as Helen finally turned toward him and asked, "You've been listening to the whole thing. What do you think we should do with this?" "I think—" Even before Frank could get a word in, Cindy walked up to Helen's side and said, "Con, Helen-I'm your secretary, and he's just a glorified е security guard! Why won't you listen to me? I really think we don't need that money… You heard the man. Victorget is not to be messed with, and we just cto Zamri-" Helen held up a hand to stop her and said coolly, "Buy yourself a ticket back to Riverton. Ask your boyfriend to give you a ride."
Cindy was certainly afraid and had no choice but to leave, but not without throwing shade before she left.
"Hmph. You could just say you don't wantto stay, but you had to nitpick my faults and chaseout." Swn When itwas just Helen and Frank left in the office, Helen picked up her glass cup, ready to smash it on the floor. Still, she soon sighed and controlled herself, instead asking hesitantly, "Do you think we can get that money back?" "Sure, why not?" Frank smiled.
"Don't worry-no one can hurt you as long as I'm around." Frank's response assured Helen right then, and she sighed in relief. "Fine. There's no point in waiting, then. Let's go!
Cindy gaped. "Helen…" "Out!" Helen snapped, pointing at the door.
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1068-Helen and Frank left right away and were soon standing outside Victorget.
On the top floor office inside, Cid Gaetz, Kallum's son, was conversing with a bald man with a ferocious visage.
Cid was young, but he was clearly used to doing business with the man as he slid a check over the desk. "That's twenty million, Victor."
"Hmmm. What is it this time? Or should | ask, who is it this time?" Victor asked nonchalantly, lighting himself a cigarette since Cid was an old customer.
"Hehe. | really can't get anything past you." Cid grinned. "So my father's having issues with his company, and he's being kept in custody in his own office. It's this new board chairwoman who wants full control, so my dad has beef with her… anyway, my dad's asking that you don't mention anything when she asks you to return a debt. Just humiliate her as much as possible, and then…"
Cid made a gesture over his own neck.
"Whoa!" Victor frowned and promptly threw the check back at Cid. "I've actually heard, but the chairwoman is the new head of the Lane family, isn't she? And your dad wants us to kill her? Is he crazy?!"
"Hehe…" Cid chuckled calmly despite Victor trying to excuse himself. "It's up to you now, Victor. | know about the Morhen bigwigs who have your back—crushing smeasly family in Riverton is absolutely no issue."
Pausing, Cid then kept smiling as he continued, "Also, twenty million is just the deposit. Once it's done, you'll be paid a billion."
"What?! A billion?!" Victor's cigarette almost fell out of his mouth. "Shit, how much money have you bloodsuckers been siphoning off Lanecorp over the years? Y'all be dead rich…"
Still, Cid could see that Victor was hesitant. He quickly pressed, "And my father has added that once this is done, Victorget will be the sole contractor for Lanecorp's security concerns. Do you know what that means…?"
"Fine!" Victor gritted his teeth, giving in to Cid's temptation. "Since y'all put it that way, I'm taking the deal—we just have to capture that woman, huh?"
"Exactly." Cid nodded with a sleazy smile. "And she's a beauty, Victor, so my father would like her pride crushed… if you know what | mean?"
Victor laughed, rubbing his bald scalp. "Hahaha! No problero-That's what dol best!"
There was a knock on his office door just then, and he barked, "Cin!"
A goon entered and reported, "Victor, there's this man and woman outside asking to seelyou. The chick says that she's the board
chairwoman of Lanecorp or something."
Victor paused for a moment and laughed. "Speak of the devil!"
Cid was smiling too. "Well, I'll look forward to seeing you in action, M Victor.")Nhe content is on En.novelxo.com! Read the latest chapter there!
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1069-Victor calmly poured himself a cup of tea. "Don't worry, Cid. I'll definitely get it done since I've taken payment." He then turned toward the goon and gestured.
"Show them in!" "Yes, boss." The goon left.
Soon, Frank and Helen entered.
"So, you're… Eh?!" Victor was about to leap into action when he paused.
He somehow found Frank's face familiar, but he could not quite remember where he had seen the man before…
Seeing that Victor was staring at Frank for a while, Cid frowned and called out to him. "Victor? Hello? What's up? Why are you spacing out?" "What? Oh, nothing," Victor murmured.
He somehow thought Frank resembled the man whom EmiSorano had mentioned that their family was not to mess with under any circumstances.
Still, he put aside the questions in his head and turned toward Helen. "To what do I owe the pleasure, chairwoman? You just took charge of Lanecorp, didn't you?" He shook his head and blew at his tea to cool it nonchalantly.
"Hmph." Helen snorted in turn-she naturally recognized Cid, having seen his photos while investigating his father Kallum.
The fact that he showed up here could not mean anything good.
Regardless, Helen strode up and said bluntly, "I'm here to collect what Victorget owes Lanecorp." "Hahaha…." Victor laughed and put down his tea, studying Helen from head to toe in amusement. Ms. Lane, it has been agreed that Victoget will be the sole contractor to Lanecorp's security operations. As such, Mr. Gaetz your CFO has therefore deposited 200 million dollars, but you're now severing the contract without precedent and asking back for that money? What are we to you? Do we look so easily bullied?!" "Hehe…" Cid sneered at Helen in turn.
He watched as Victor's tone got harsher but the minute, even standing up as he threatened Helen at the end. His hard work certainly did not go to waste! On the other hand, Victor could see that Helen was just staring coolly at him in silence and returned to his chair.
Snuffing out his cigarette on an ashtray, he smiled, "So how about this instead? Our contract stands, but you need to pay the remainder of our subcontract of 300 million while we stay as your security subcontractor.
How about that, Ms. Lane?" "No."
Frank strode up, knowing that Helen was never good at handling thugs.
Such people were never reasonable, and the owner was tying despidably to con. Helen for more money.
That's why Frank took the stage. "I think Victorget should be returning that 200 million dollars deposit, as well as 100 million in addition tor holding oh to Yhat 200 million dollars.
without permission." S "What?!" Cid gaped in disbelief, but he soon laughed so hard he could cry. "Hold on, where did you cfrom, kid? Isn't Ms. Lane really scraping the bottom for her recruits?"
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1070-Shaking his head, Cid laughed. "You're not from Zamri, are you? Don't you know who you shouldn't mess with in this city? Hell… Do you even know who has Victor's back?" "No, I don't," Frank answered bluntly.
Cid was stumped by Frank's bluntness but composed himself and sneered. "It's the Soranos of Morhen! Heck I don't mind telling you-his full nis Victor Sorano!"
"The Soranos?!" Helen's face fell.
After all, the Soranos were the most powerful family in Morhen barring the Lionhearts.
If Victorget was really supported by the Soranos, Lanecorp's money was as good as lost.
"Hehe…" Victor was smiling too, seeing the look of panic on Helen's face.
Cid pressed his advantage, flexing on Helen and Frank with Victor's influence.
"Now, pay fifty million up front for damages, because you've disturbed Victor here… and he just might be merciful. If you don't, hehe…" Helen was a little worried by the unexpected turn of events. "What should we do, Frank? Why don't we just pay up and leave?" Frank saw her worried expression and remembered just then.
Although Frank had stormed Sorano Estate and forced EmiSorano to personally apologize to Nash Yego, Helen did not know about that.
In reality, Frank did not fear the Soranos at all.
As Cid and Victor were getting full of themselves, Frank shook his head at her and strode up.
His eyes glued on Victor, he spoke, "If you say you're a Sorano, then you should have heard of me." "You?" Victor did a double take, clearly caught off guard as a foreboding feeling welled up within him.
"Heh." Frank snorted. "Why don't you call Morhen and ask if they remember the nFrank Lawrence?
Once you do, you should really.
wonder about the attitude you're putting on with me." S et Victor had yet to react, but cid had sprang tolhis feet, pointing at Frank and snapping, "Frank Lawrence? What stupid nis that?! Are you supposed to be.
famous?! Well, I never heard of you!
Don't think you could get away just because you're flexing on us, and if you're just trying to tell us, I can tell you with no uncertainty that Victor is a member of the Sorano family! Go.
on, Victor! Sew that prick's mouth shut. Well, the damages have just increased to 100 million dollars for your attitude! You're not leaving if you don't pay! Right, Victor? Victor?
hello?" Mo Grinning, Cid turned toward Victor to find him frozen again.
Feeling a tinge of danger, he quickly grabbed Victor's shoulders andshook "Are youälfight,?!" Why do you keép spacing out
