The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage romance Capítulo 1481

However, Rob heard Vicky too.

"Come back for you? Frank Lawrence?"

He sneered, heartlessly crushing Vicky and the others' fantasies. "Jan isn't just the best soldier in Draconia—he's the best across Draconia! He alone suppressed the northern savages, and that makes him no different from the Lord of the Southern Woods to an extent. He could handle those maggot martial artists by himself, and that manwhore you're pinning your hopes on is no match for him."

Rob felt smug even as Vicky and Glen turned pale, though he was also feeling curious about what was taking Jan so long.

Still, he had his orders and he knew this could not drag on—he had to seal the deal before the Turnbull branch families caught on.

Hence, he ordered his men to escort Glen and Vicky to the biggest ballroom in Turnbull Estate.

Naturally, his men already had the place under control—hundreds of soldiers were congesting the ballroom and around it. Every Turnbull executive and the branch families who were here were all not allowed to escape.

"Dad, if you don't want the family to suffer any casualties, you will do as you're told—step down as head of the Turnbull family, while I take your place."

Rob spoke coolly as he led his father to his seat, before turning toward the silent Vicky and sneering. "Whether the Turnbull Estate would see a bloodbath today depends entirely on your choice."

Glen was already feeling despair, his thought a mess as he seemed to age decades, while his son 'helped' him back to the main seat of the grand ballroom.

Everyone in the ballroom was restless and whispering among themselves because of the soldiers locking down the place.

The members of the Turnbull family present were no fools. They could already see that something was wrong from Glen and Vicky's expressions, as well as the soldiers confining them to this ballroom—there was something most definitely suspicious about this 'return' of the South Sea Crow.

Some even started asking questions.

"Where's Frank Lawrence, Rob?"

"Yeah, didn't he go with you earlier?"

Rob was actually surprised that the Turnbulls thought so highly of Frank and frowned slightly in displeasure.
