The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

"Absolutely not!"

Huub protested as he caught on. "What if you renege on our deal after we give you our treasure and refuse to free your hostage? We'd just be taken for suckers!"

"My fight is not with you. I only want the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom!"

The voice on the other end snapped impatiently, "At worst, the only person I have a bone to pick with is Frank Lawrence! None of you are my concern, and I won't hurt the hostage if your Bloodcrane Spiritbloom is real as you assured me! He will be freed!" Still, she soon paused and giggled coolly. "And you're in no place to demand anything from me."

Huub's expression turned cold at the kidnapper's demands, but she hung up before he could say another word.

He returned the phone to Helen and slammed his fist on the table.

"Damn it!" he bellowed before turning to Helen. "What do we do now? Are we just going to give up the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom? What if she suddenly changes her mind?"

"We have no choice now."

Helen sighed lengthily, lowering her head as she pondered. "And judging from what she said, all she wants is the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, so she would probably stop once she gets it?"

Gina quickly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Droitner. Helen will always remember your grace and properly compensate you since the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom is so valuable."
