Ch. 1591..1600

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1591-Either Borc heard the commotion outside or sensed danger, for he never appeared even though his father Sohil called out to him for a while.

"Move!"

Frank quickly pushed Sohil out of the way and strode over, brushing through the curtains to find a burning cigarette on a table and a TV that was still on.

He looked around and spotted the window that was wide open, its curtains flapping against the wind.

It went without saying that Borc was here a second ago and fled without cleaning up after him after hearing Sohil's call.

It might even have been a signal between father and son.

Frank was already fuming, even as he looked outside the window to find a blue convertible speeding away.

His sharp eyesight picked up the youth who only wore boxers and had panic written all over his face, and he immediately recognized him as Luna's blind date from the other day.

However, the car had gone too far for Frank to chase down, so he promptly turned back, restraining Sohil and Gable before they could flee. Sohil was still keeping up his ignorant act in hopes it would work. "Sir, I don't know what you want, and I didn't do anything to offend you!" Frank was certainly not bothered to play along. Charging his pure vigor over his fingers, he growled viciously, "What's the connection between Corpsedale, the Lane family, and Hardy Xinder? Tell me!"

"What?!"

Sohil turned pale in fear when Frank mentioned Corpsedale-how could he have known?!

After all, Corpsedale was a secret organization, but if Frank knew about them anyway, that meant that he was aware of other insider information. And Sohil's ignorant act was pointless in the first place.

Frank strode up to Sohil right then, seizing him by the collar and lifting him off the floor. "Tell me if you want to live." "O-Okay! I'll talk!"

Sohil certainly did not even want to die, sensing the death aura spilling from Frank. "It's Baba Yaga!"

"Baba Yaga?"

Frank had heard the name from Trevor Zurich and knew that she was the group's leader in the east coast region.

"Yes! Baby Yaga and Hardy Xinder are close, and she ordered our group to make contact with the Lanes and try tomess them up from the inside." Sohil paused and quickly shifted the blame on Gable, pointing at Gable even as he sat limply on the floor. "But it turns out that there are plenty of Lane family members who want you gone. Hell, he's the one who planned this entire mess, sending my son to hook up with that pig of a woman! And there's his mother too-she's also one of the masterminds…" ne He trailed off, and suddenly started begging Frank, "Please, Mr.

Lawrence, I had no choice! I'm just a pawn who has to follow orders-" Crack!

Frank crushed Sohil's throat even before he could finish.

Sohil stared at him in disbelief, rasping as blood foamed out of his mouth.

He certainly could not believe that Frank was so ruthless that he killed him without a thought.

Nheless, Frank threw Sohil's corpse aside and turned toward Gable, who had already turned pale from seeing Sohil's death.

Even as he remained on his rear, he could only back away as Frank approached. "S-Stay away! Don't come here!"

Eventually, he felt his back against the wall and realized he had no way to go.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1592-Frank stomped on Gable's only leg, narrowing his eyes as he growled coolly, "You really don't know when to give up, huh? Not content with killing your father, you'd try to kill your mother too?! You're a real animal! It'd dirty my hands to kill you!"

Though Gable flinched at Frank's outburst, he did his best to force a smile as he pleaded, "You won't kill me, right? I-I had no choice! I racked up a huge debt and they've been coming after me, so if I don't pay up—"

"That's not my problem." Frank chuckled coolly and pressed his foot down.

Crack.

As Gable's joints cracked audibly from overwhelming pressure, he cried, "Wait! Wait! I can tell you everything! Just spare my life… I'll return to Laneville with you and confess everything! If you kill me, my mother will hate you even more! You have to let me live!"

It was actually a smart move by Gable to save his own skin despite the direness of his situation.

After all, he knew that his mother just might be able to keep him alive if he was allowed to return to Laneville, while he basically stood no chance of survival with Frank.

Sohil's corpse nearby was a clear proof of that.

"Hmph."

Even Frank had to admit that Gable's offer to confess was exactly what he wanted.

Snorting coolly, he said, "In that case, I can spare you for now."

Hearing that, Gable wiped the sweat off his brow and sighed in relief when Frank glowered and shoved his foot down before he realized it.

Crack.

Argh!

Gable was screaming hysterically—Frank had broken his ankle, and he could only crawl for the rest of his life. "Fuck! Fuck!"

Even as Gable cursed on top of his lungs to express his rage and agony, he did not dare to curse Frank directly.

And with that done, Frank made a call, and Peter Lane and members of Lanecorp's health and safety department soon rushed to the scene. They dismantled the entire basement bar and took the now crippled Gable back to Lanecorp Tower.

"Search all of Zamri for any signs of Borc Zomer," Frank told Terry , and he called Trevor Zel the search too. He also told Trevor to look for traces of Baba Yaga and Hardy Xinder, just to get rid of those annoyances once and for all.

As night arrived at Laneville, Fleur found herself tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.

Eventually, she called for a maid to turn on the lights, scowling as she asked, "Where's Gable? Why isn't he back yet?"

"I-I don't know." The maid hung her. head as she replied. "Mr. Lane early in the morning, so he should have been back by now…" We Fleur was at once annoyed. "Did that brat bail on me?!"

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1593-The medicine Gable recently recommended to Fleur was divine, reinvigorating her and clearing any minor discomforts or illnesses she suffered. However, it had a side effect-Fleur must consume one pill per day, or she would end up stressed and lose sleep.

Like now.

In fact, Fleur was completely incapable of recovering from her addiction now she had to take the pill everyday. Otherwise, she would not be able to calm down at all, as she would feel like ants were crawling all over his skin constantly.

"Send someone to look for him!" she snapped furiously.

Her conspiracy with Gable was flawless for all intents and purposes, and with Mark Lane dying soon enough, Gable would succeed him as head of the family.

He had no reason to bail… unless something unexpected had happened.

"Yes, Madam Lang," the maid replied.

Soon after she left, a manservant hurried inside, "It's terrible, Madam Lang! Sources from Lanecorp are saying Gable has been taken to Lanecorp Tower!"

"What?!"

Fleur scrambled to her feet right then, her eyes widened in disbelief. "Could it be Frank Lawrence?! How could he have found out?!"

"What should we do now, Madam Lang?" the servants all standing nearby quickly asked, seeing that Fleur was shocked.

After all, they were all her accomplices, as they were all involved in poisoning Mark, freeing Gable, and murdering Luna.

If the truth got out, none of them were getting away!

"Calm down."

Fleur sneered after some thought. "It doesn't matter what Frank does now-he's not changing anything. Hell, I will go to see him tomorrow… If he dares to argue against me, I have more cause to banish him from the family!" Naturally, her priority was to get her medicine from Gable.

She had to get it no matter what it would take!

The next day, a beady-eyed Fleur arrived at Lanecorp Tower personally.

It was not just her either an older woman who projected authority with her very presence walked alongside her, escorted by an entourage.

Somehow, Fleur was clearly more confident with the woman's company.

In fact, when one of the security guards asked, Fleur was pointing at his face as she bellowed, "Are you blind?! Don't you know who I am or my friend here?"

"What? Who is she?"

Fleur's outburst left the security guards stunned.

They all stared at the elderly woman who carried herself with authority as she stood at the center of the entourage. But since none of them could confirm her identity, they had no choice but to send someone to ask swn Meanwhile, Helen Lane had returned to her office in Lanecorp Tower.

There was no way she could stay on her business trip after such a serious matter occurred, and she returned to Zamri after concluding her business talks early in the morning haphazardly. In fact, Frank had just explained to her how Luna was murdered when her desk phone rang, with a security guard reporting Fleur's arrival.

She turned toward Frank. "Madam Lang is involved in this too?"

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1594-Seeing Helen's look of confusion, Frank nodded calmly. "Though I wouldn't say Fleur Lang's merely involved… The whole thing was planned up by her and Gable Lane."

"What…?!"

Helen was stunned speechless and was left further shocked to learn that Frank kept Gable confined here in Lanecorp Tower.

How could she have known that so much could happen in the Lane family in the brief few days she was gone?

Frank then took a recording device from his pocket and put it on Helen's desk, chuckling coolly as he told the security guards, "Go. Bring Jade Zahn and Gable Lane here. Also, let Fleur Lang and her friends in I will interrogate them directly."

However, as soon as Fleur and her group entered Helen's office, they did not expect Fleur to seize the initiative right away.

"Frank Lawrence!" She pointed at Frank's face as she bellowed, "You are an enemy! You're not a member of our family-you have no right abducting my son! He just went out to buy me medicine, so you better have an explanation or I will make you pay!"

Helen was left a little confused by Fleur's outburst but frowned as she quickly reasoned, "Please calm down, Madam Lang. Let's sit down and properly talk about this."

"Calm down?!"

Fleur wheeled on Helen right then, laughing coolly. "How are you leading our family when you're so stupid?! Don't you know that while you're gone, Frank Lawrence set the stage to frame our entire family, ready to take everything from us?! It doesn't matter what Gable has to say-Frank must have tortured him to confess!"

Helen was actually surprised Fleur was so cunning she threw the blame on Frank as soon as she arrived.

Though she doubted that Frank would actually do something like that, Fleur still held authority in the Lane family, and criticism was inevitable if this was mishandled.

As Helen quickly turned toward Frank, she found him folding his arms before his chest as he watched Fleur in amusement.

He even shrugged and smiled, "You can't beat the truth, old-timer. Why don't we let your son and the recently bereaved Jade testify? See if I tortured anyone to confess."

Just as Fleur was about to speak, Helen's office door opened again.

A mournful Jade shambled inside, followed by Gable, basically dragged inside like a dog.

"Go on, tell us."

Frank watched Gable in amusement, folding his arms before his chest. "Tell us how you became friends with Corpsedale, and why Luna is dead."

"Luna… My baby girl…" Jade was suddenly alert when she heard Luna's name mentioned.

It was only then that she noticed Fleur standing at a corner and started bawling immediately, "Madam Lang! Why did you have to kill my daughter?! That blind date you introduced Luna butchered her and tried to shift the blame on Frank! If you refuse to explain yourself… I-I'|| kill you!" net Seeing Jade's crazed glare, Fleur quickly retreated behind her bodyguards while snapping vindictively, "Calm down, Jade! What's wrong with you?! I introduced a blind date for Luna out of the goodness of my heart, but you're joining Frank in slandering me?! "I'm devastated about Luna's death too! We are family, and she's my granddaughter-am I so cold that I'd just let her die?! And the crime scene wasn't owned by us Southstream Lanes! Family would never hurt family… don't you see who are the real culprits here?!"

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1595-"Who's the real culprits?"

Even as Jade wiped her tears, she was glancing between Frank and Helen behind her desk.

"Exactly!"

Seeing that Jade had turned her attention to Helen and Frank, Fleur promptly pressed her advantage. "What do I stand to gain if Luna's dead? Nothing! Doesn't everything make sense if they're the ones who killed Luna?!"

"Make… sense?"

Jade was quickly being misled, as she was so obsessed with avenging her daughter that she could not think straight.

"Think!"

Fleur kept snapping as she walked up to Jade while pointing at Frank. "Haven't things always been difficult between you, your daughter, and him? Now that he's killed Luna and shifted the blame on us Southstream Lanes, Helen would have the perfect excuses to bring us all down! It's killing two birds with one stone!

"And if Helen ousts us, all the hard work and success our family accomplished over the years would fall into the hands of outsiders! So use your pig brain and think-who really stands to gain from Luna's death?!"

Fleur's grandstanding left Jade wheeling on Frank in shock, as Fleur's words made a lot of sense.

Her daughter was killed, and then shifting the blame on the Southstream Lanes… did Frank not stand to gain the most?!

Clap, clap, clap…

Still just as Jade was left confused, Frank strode up, chuckling as he clapped his hands.

Sneering at Fleur, he said, "I'm actually surprised that you're cunning enough to distort the truth so maliciously, hag."

Then, turning toward Gable, who had been cringing in a corner, he smiled. "So, Gable. Are you going to retract your testimony too?"

Gritting his teeth, he snapped, "You're way out of line, Frank! I was I just meeting a friend to get my mother's medicine, but you stormed the place, killing my friend and forcing me into confessing tha had Luna killed! And you planned this with Helen too, you villains!" "Me?"

Helen was left dumbfounded as she was suddenly dragged into the mess for no reason.

"Haha! What else do you have to say now, Frank?!"

Fleur reared her chin triumphantly.

She had already thought of her excuse last night, though her son's assistance was necessary too.

Seeing that the blan blame was suddenly thrown on him, Frank smiled faintly at Gable.remember that you ет offered to confess everything when you begged me for your life. Why should I keep you around now that I you've turned against tent Hearing that, Fleur promptly yelled, "What are you doing, Frank?!"

"No! Stop!"

On the other hand, Gable was terrified and trembling rapidly saw as he eyes.

one murderous intent in t swno He could hardly believe it was Frank really going to kill him in broad daylight?!

"Just fuck off already."

Frank was suddenly a blur and appeared the next instant right in front of Gable. "You-argh!!!"

Even before anyone else could react, Frank had kicked Gable in the face!

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1596-As his blood-curdling scream rang, Gable Lane was sent flying crashing through the glass wall and down Lanecorp Tower.

"Frank Lawrence!"

Fleur was furious to see Frank would actually kill in broad daylight, but before she could say another word, Frank wheeled on her with a sinister glare, leaving her flinching.

"Insolence!"

That was when the elderly woman who had been standing by Fleur all this while strode up.

While she had been calm and composed before, she was now glaring coldly at Frank as she snapped, "How dare you murder a member of the Lane family right in front of me!"

"And who are you?" Frank asked, though he had an idea given how the woman carried with authority, as if she was above the rest.

Fleur quickly snapped at Frank, "She's Yora Yimmel, my dear sister and the matriarch of the Lane family!"

"Yora Yimmel?"

Frank did a double take-he had never heard that name before, but 'matriarch of the Lane family' was not really hard to place.

Helen flinched in turn, because Yora was Mark Lane's wife and Helen's granduncle.

She was also the direct heiress of the Yimmels of Bralog, and even Mark himself had to show her due deference.

In recent years, she had been staying with her birth family in Bralog due to unmentioned circumstances, but she grew in power and became their de facto matriarch.

One could certainly say that she was untouchable in the Lane family-even Mark could not pull rank against her, since the Yimmels were more than powerful in contrast to the Lane family.

Moreover, Mark owed his successes to the Yimmels' support when he el started his career in business. It would be apt to liken Yora to a princess marrying a humble merchant, and it was why no one in the Lane family would dare incur her Wrath. Her authority as matriarch certainly carried weight, and it was not surprising that Fleur was not really worried about anything. "Madam Yimmer? What brings you here? You could have informed me ahead of time…"

Helen quickly walked up to Yora with ё an apologetic smile, but at the very next instant, Yora swung her palm, slapping her violently across the face! UMS Everyone in the office was left stunned right then.

"Madam Yimmer…?"

Helen was clutching her cheek-Yora had struck her so hard she was left leaning against her desk, dumbstruck.

She had never disrespected the matriarch, even sending gifts back when she was appointed head of the Lane family.

And now, when she finally showed up, she immediately slapped her in the face?!

"Get away from her!"

Frank glowered when he saw that Helen was attacked, glowering as he leapt up to shield Helen behind himself.

"Watch yourself! How dare you treat the matriarch with such insolence!" a man with a split-mustache barked as he strode in.

Mr. Noon had been keeping his presence hidden, but Frank immediately noticed that he was Ascendant rank as soon as he appeared!

That was when the conference room doors opened again, and a scowling Gina hurried inside, rambling as soon as she stepped in, "I heard that Luna's dead. Helen, did you Before she finished, she saw the others inside and dropped to her knees audibly when she saw Yora.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1597-"M-Madam Yimmel?" Gina gasped.

She had come to ask how Luna died in fear that Frank did something rash again, thus causing Helen to drift further apart from the Southstream Lanes.

Helen's place as the head of the Lane family was not solid in the first place, and if more issues popped up right now, Fleur and her ilk would definitely seize the opportunity to ask questions.

That was why Gina was endlessly concerned and rushed to Lanecorp Tower as soon as she found out about Luna's death.

She just did not expect even Yora Yimmel, matriarch of the Lane family, to be here too.

Things would definitely not end well now…

"Just look at your daughter and her husband, Gina Zonda!"

At the same time, Fleur glowered as soon as she saw Gina enter, pointing at Frank as she bellowed, "He kicked my son out of that window, while Madam Yimmel and I watched! What do you have to say about that?!"

Gina was sweating buckets at Fleur's threat.

If anything, making enemies of Fleur was acceptable-she was just Mark Lane's second wife, and her birth family did not carry much authority. But things were completely different if Yora was involved!

She was the matriarch of both the Lane family and the Yimmels of Bralog. And with the numerous martial artists known to dwell around Bralog, the fact that the Yimmels still flourished made their power apparent.

Yora just had to lift her finger to crush Helen-or even the Lane family, for that matter!

With that in mind, Gina rushed over to Helen, pulling her down to kneel with her, apologizing humbly, "Madam Yimmel! I don't know the whole story yet, but please don't get upset!"

Gina then shot a look at Frank, intent on making him follow suit.

She almost had a heart attack as he did not seem to notice it and was instead standing his ground, folding his arms before his chest.

While Gina knew that Frank was formidable, he could not just do whatever he wanted against the Yimmels of Bralog!

Yora might perhaps just forgive Frank if he went down on his knees and begged…

But just as Frank remained motionless and Gina was utterly anxious, her dear daughter looked up, her expression impassive as she spoke, "Madam Yimmel, Frank had his reason for killing Uncle Gable. And may I ask what did I do to provoke you into slapping me?" Gina did a double take when she heard the displeasure in her daughter's voice, while Yora snorted in response.

"What, do you have a problem with that? Shouldn't I be straightening out a child like you?"

Pointing at Frank, Yora snapped coolly, "The truth has yet to be revealed, but your husband is in a hurry to kill the witness and bury evidence! It's clear as day, and I slapped you so that you would actually see!

"Moreover, Gable is a member of us Southstream Lanes! And yet, as a member of the Northstream Lanes Helen, you are tolerating your husband's murder of one So I'm asking you here-what is it you're scheming?!" Helen's brow furrowed-Yora was clearly not backing down, even starting to threaten them.

However, she rose to her feet and el was clearly intent to stick to her guns as she argued, "Madam Yimmel, Eve told you that Frank had his reasons to do it. He's not unreasonable, and you should be properly investigating what Gable had done instead."

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1598-"It doesn't matter what Gable did," Yora retorted coolly. "Your husband doesn't get to kill him under my watch. And I'll have you know that the family has been complaining a lot lately, and some of those complaints even reached me all the way in Bralog.

"And I just happened to be dropping by for a visit today. I actually thought that a brat like you would be actually competent, given how you're able to lead a major enterprise… But it's as frustrating as it is disappointing, because as it turns out, you have no conscience, allowing your husband to kill a member of the Lane family in front of me!"

Then, pointing at Frank, she finished, "I will now have him restrained and punished per family rules. If you refuse me, we will have to make you!"

Yora's rant was not just unreasonable, but she clearly held no respect for Helen as the head of the Lane family.

"Family rules?"

Frank strode up just then, leveling Yora an icy glare. "We can afford you some respect as a matriarch of the Lane family, but don't think you can abuse your seniority and connections to do whatever you like. Understand that Helen is the head of the Lane family, not you!"

"Head of the family?"

Surprisingly, Yora merely laughed coolly at Yora's words. "I don't care. The way I see it, Mark simply got so senile that he would let some brat take over. That's why I've returned to shake things up, clear up this mess, and bring the family back on the right track!"

"So, you're saying you don't care what Gable actually did?"

Frank scowled as he demanded, "All you want is to force Helen to step down as head of the family just because you don't like her?"

"Like I said!"

Yora snapped coolly. "I've come to see how Helen was doing as head of the family, but all I see is her tolerating her husband's vile behavior! That's why she doesn't deserve to lead the family!"

"Fine!"

Frank strode over, picking up the voice recorder from the table and smirked. You want to know why I killed Gable? Then listen to this! It's the conversation he had with his so-called friend while buying his mother's medicine!" He pressed the play button, and soon staticky voices could be heard, but there was no doubt that it was Gable and Sohil Zomer.

"So, I guess the hag's addiction is ། hurting, and she wants more? You're really horrible-Fleur Lang is your mom, and you're still feeding her that?" "Hah! I'd still be confined if not for that! It's supposed to be poison bet

el she's happily taking it since it invigorates her and keeps other symptoms in check!" "You're a real piece of shit!"

Fleur turned pale even as Sohil and Gable burst out in laughter in the recording.

Frank was sneering at her, and then at Yora whose scowl was growing apparent. "Patience. This isn't the best part yet."

At the same time, he was thanking Noel York inwardly.

It was Noel who taught him to always carry a recorder around, to avoid problems he otherwise could not talk his way out of. "Anyway, the hag's already poisoned the old man…"

As Gable's voice played on the recording once again, panic showed on Fleur's face, while Yora turned toward her with a look of surprise.

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1599-Meanwhile, Gable's smug voice was still playing. "She will be banishing Helen Lane and Frank Lawrence in a few days. At that point, I'll be the sole heir of the family, and you can ask for any compensation you like!"

"Go on. A toast-to the new head of the Lane family!" Sohil then cheered.

The clink of glasses could be heard, and soon Gable added, "Well, I'm not going to stay-I need to check in with the hag, though it's only a matter of time before Helen Lane and Frank Lawrence will be gone."

"And I will wait here for the good news," Sohil replied.

And with that, the recording ended.

Putting away the recorder, Frank leveled Fleur Lang a look of amusement, "Confession under torture, you say? 'The hag's already poisoned the old man'… Shouldn't you be explaining what Gable said in recording instead, Madam Lang?"

Frank's question left Fleur's lips pursed.

She stood stiffly, intent on defending herself but unable to manage a single word.

Frank then turned toward Yora. "Now, Madam Yimmel. Is Gable Lane's death still unjustified?"

Yora appeared troubled, though she soon appeared determined as she looked at Frank.

Holding out her hand, she said, "That recorder is important evidence. Give it to me I'll talk to the old-timer myself."

Frank suspected nothing and passed it to her, only for Yora to suddenly smirk as she suddenly flung the recorder on the floor and stamped it into pieces!

"What…?!"

Everyone was dumbstruck even as they looked on—even Frank was caught off guard!

"What are you doing, Madam Yimmel?!"

Gina was shocked but quickly threw herself on the floor to pick up the pieces.

However, there was no saving the device, and Frank's evidence was effectively destroyed.

Frank glowered at Yora in turn. "What's the meaning of this?"

Yora dropped all pretenses right then, her expression impassive even as she spoke calmly, "Helen Lane has no right to be the head of the family. I said so, and no one gets to argue against that. Everyone scowled at her words, and even the usually calm Helen wasz furious Are you really harboring a criminal?! You're just going to sit by and watch Fleur murder

Granduncle?" Yora simply shrugged. "That's my business. I don't need to tell you what to do."

Nearby, Jade Zahn finally understood that Fleur and her ilk were the ones who had her daughter killed.

And now, Yora was going to protect them?!

"I-I'll kill you all!" she bellowed as she lunged at Fleur.

Fleur quickly leapt aside, while Mr. Noon-who had been standing beside Yora all this while-moved and kicked Jade squarely in the stomach. Jade was sent tumbling to the floor, clutching her stomach.

She coughed a mouthful of blood and soon collapsed, unconscious.

Helen felt a chill running down her spine even as she looked on.

After all, it was clear that Yora was dead set on protecting Fleur.

"T-This is an outrage!" Gina cried even as she tried to pick up the pieces of the recorder. "Destroying evidence in broad ! Madam Yimmel, you're—"

The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1600-Yora shot Gina a cool glare right then. "What? Do you have anything to say about that?"

While Gina quickly stopped herself, Helen snapped, "I will tell Granduncle everything, Madam Yimmel! He will see to this!" "Pfft…"

Yora merely snickered at Helen's threat. "What, did you think name-dropping Mark would work on me?"

"Why not?!" Helen retorted with righteous indignation. "I'm the head of the Lane family, appointed by Mark himself!"

"No, no, no…"

Yora shook her head, laughing. "You misunderstand. What I mean to say is that the old-timer can't go against me now. Hell, why do you think that he can still hear you?"

"What?!"

Helen was stunned. "Are you saying…"

"That's right."

Fleur strode up with a sinister sneer. "Just this morning, our dear husband suddenly suffered a heart attack and has since been rushed to an ICU, where he slipped into a coma."

"What?!"

At that point, there was no way Helen could not catch on.

Even as a chill ran down her spine, she shook with rage, "You… All of you… planned this…"

Mark had done his best to support Helen emotionally ever since the death of Helen's grandfather, Henry Lane.

Moreover, Mark genuinely liked Helen, and they would often stay in touch.

It was already suspicious that Mark would suddenly suffer a heart attack when he was always so healthy, even going hunting on horseback on occasion.

And with the voice recording that was now destroyed, Fleur and Yora's conspiracy has now truly come to light.

"That's one of the reasons why I've returned."

Yora said coolly then, "I formally et announce that Helen Lane will no longer be the head of the Lane family, as every family matter will come under my control from now on! As for your position in Lanecorp, you only have three days to delegate any tasks and responsibilities you had and go back to where you came from! Every single Northstream Lane will no longer be a part of the Lane family once more!"

Helen was left gaping, while Gina stood, rigid and ashen-faced.

"Let's go!"

Yora beckoned at her entourage right then, not inclined to waste her breath.

Fleur, however, loitered and started mocking everyone in the conference room. "You thought you could shut me down with just some shitty recorder? Spare me you're all trash, and it was just a matter of time before you were all chased out of the Lane family!

"Tut, tut… Word has it that you were very successful with Lanecorp, Helen Lane. Did very well, didn't you? But it's not yours now, and all of your accomplishments will be mine You're nothing but a slaved, used and disposed of just like that. Hahaha! Does that upset you? Doesn't it hurt you?" Done with Helen just then, Fleur wheeled on Frank and laughed. "You didn't expect me to have Madam Yimmel's backing, did you? Oh, it's such a shame, Frank. You thought you'd be turning the tables against me, but… Tut, tut…"

Smiling gleefully, she even tried to comfort him sarcastically, "Oh, and if you have nowhere else to go, LanevilleGust happened to be short on cleaners-to be specific, toilet cleaners. You'd be paid five hundred bucks each month, how about that? Hahahaha!" With that, she burst out laughing with endless conceit.
