The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

Chatper 456

While Frank wondered if he should let Helen in, Vicky came up. "Oh, if it isn't the ex-wife. Whydon't you let her in?"

She pressed the button to open the gates, while Frank rolled his eyes at her mischief.

Outside, Helen frowned, not expecting to see Vicky in Frank's house.

She could not help hurrying into Frank's mansion and scowled as soon as she saw Vicky."What are you doing here?"

Vicky grinned. "Frank's my employee. Do you have a problem with me taking care of my own?In fact, the better question is: what are you doing here?"

Helen puffed her chest as she retorted, "Is there a problem with me visiting my ex-husband?"

"Hah! At least you know he's your ex-husband." Vicky snorted. "And shouldn't you be morecareful while you're here?"

"What's there to be careful here?" Helen shrugged. "We may be divorced, but Frank and I are both still

single—unless you claim to be Frank's girlfriend."

Vicky frowned but retorted nonetheless. "Well, I'm not at the moment... But that might not be the case

soon."

Frida had actually returned to her room to get some rest but could not help getting curious since she

heard Vicky arguing with Helen.

If anything, she was surprised Frank had an ex-wife, and that Vicky was really wary of her.

She never saw Vicky being that hostile against another woman either—she was always so beautiful

that she turned heads wherever she went and did not have to compare herself with others.

On the other hand, Frank felt an argument as he listened to her arguing.

"Alright, alright, that's enough," he said, cutting them short before turning to Helen. "You said you need

a favor? What is it?"

Helen quickly said, "You know that my family is a branch family to the Lanes of Southstream, right?"

Frank nodded, more or less knowing a little about the Lane family in his three years with them.

However, the Lanes of Southstream did not give a damn about Helen's side of the family, with none of

them ever visiting even when he married Helen.

"My aunt, Jade Zahn, has brought her daughter here to get treated," Helen continued. "It's a serious

condition and the drakeroot is urgently needed. We visited Paul Fielden, but he told us you bought it."

Frank nodded. "So, you want the drakeroot?"novelbin

Gina called him to demand it earlier, and he naturally had a hunch that it was also why Helenwas here.

Helen bit her lip and nodded awkwardly. "Yeah... I know my mom is heavily opinionated againstyou, but I'm hoping you'd help us—or my grandfather. It had always been his wish to return tohis family, but he never had the chance. We're hoping to fulfill that wish with this opportunity."

Frank tapped his fingers repeatedly on his cup, not saying a word.

Helen might really believe that this was to help Henry, whereas Gina simply wanted a trickle ofthe other Lanes' wealth and influence.

Moreover, the drakeroot was already gone.

That was when Vicky said what was on his mind. "I'm sorry, but you're too late. We've alreadyused the drakeroot."

"What? How? Paul Fielden told us that you were in his house very recently!" Helen exclaimed,clearly skeptical.
