The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

“What is that?” Frank asked in curiosity.

Vicky leveled a mysterious gaze on him. “It’s a pharmaceutical company. You can better harvest the rare medicinal ingredients from across the world if you join us–in fact, I’m doing this for you!”

“Haha…” Frank chuckled -he had just met her days ago, and he really doubted Vicky would go that far for him. “Let’s just be honest, alright? What is it that you want?”

While he was interested in such a company, Frank knew that nothing was free in this world. This was a give and take, and there must be a catch.

Vicky smiled. “I want you to be my boyfriend.”

“What?” Frank appeared stupefied–he did not want to make enemies for no reason, especially since she was already engaged.

Vicky giggled when she saw that it was a no. “I’m just kidding. Anyway, my side of the family has been eager to expand our medicinal business into Middleton. I’ve always been in charge of that, but I also know my uncle’s side of the family would definitely send someone over to meddle. I don’t want that I’d rather have full control over the company’s development, so I want you as my chief consultant.”

He was silent for a while, so Vicky added, “You don’t have to give me an answer right away. Take your time to think about it… Although I’d still like you to join us. There’s money and medicinal ingredients you can take without charge. It’s good for you too.”

Frank nodded. “I do need to think about this.”

Vicky went home after sending Frank back to Verdant Hotel.

Over the next few days, Frank stayed in his penthouse suite to refine the wonderroot’s medicinal properties into a pill for consumption.

He was extensively injured following the battle at the North Sea three years ago. Though he had recovered from most of his ailments, his strength had dropped drastically.

But now, he had obtained one of the Five Elemental Wonders in the wonderroot, which was the fire- element medicinal ingredient.

As his internal energies flowed freely within his body, it absorbed the medicinal energy almost violently and revitalized his nerves and veins.

His aura released in an instant, shattering a vase in the distance.

Such was the strength of those who reached the pinnacle of martial arts.

Meanwhile, Helen was very busy at Lane Holdings, with stacks of documents on her desk, waiting to be reviewed and tamped.

Suddenly, she received a phone call–Henry was suddenly sick. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Her face fell, and she ignored everything and hurried home after giving her secretary instructions on what to do.

Most of the family were back as well, and the instant Helen arrived, she saw her mother and asked, ” How’s grandfather?”

Gina shook her head. “It doesn’t look good.”

“How did this happen?” Helen demanded. “He was just fine before!”

“How should I know?” Gina shrugged. “Just go in and see him one last time.”
