The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

"Freeload off you for three years?"

Frank was certainly amused by the idea, but he was not bothered to stoop to verbal fencing against Cindy.

Instead, he turned to Helen with a serious look, intent on asking for her opinion.

Helen was silent for a while, but she soon said quietly, "I don't know what happened to you that you'd think that, Frank... But I'm telling you in no uncertainty not to think like that ever again! I'll never leave you, and no one can stop me!"

Then, shaking off Cindy's hand, she snapped coldly, "This is an order, Cindy. Go back to Riverton and tell my mom not to worry about me. As for you, I know you're upset about being dumped, but neither me nor Frank are your punching bag, and Lanecorp doesn't need garbage like you who doesn't know anything but struts around all high and mighty."

"What?!" Cindy stumbled backward in shock. "What did you say, Helen...?"

"I called you garbage!" Helen snapped. "You don't get to criticize Frank, not when you lost the ruby his father gave me! And do you want me to list all the other things that you've done?!" Seeing that Helen was dead serious-even furious-Cindy was left shaking in frustration.

Glancing between Helen and Frank, she snapped, "Aunt Gina and I only want the best for you, but you'd rather stay with that jinx?! Aren't you afraid of getting killed?!"
