The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage romance Capítulo 1604

Yora, however, sneered. "You don't worry about that. While you're head of the family, you're no more than a figurehead—every family matter will instead fall under my control."

"What?!"

Jon almost tripped—so he was only supposed to be a puppet?

What did Yora want? To take over the family?

"That's a big deal, Madam Yimmel. It's not too late—we can go back and discuss this with Grandfather…""

Resistant to the idea, Jon decided to name-drop Mark, but Yora did not even flinch.

Shaking her head in disdain, she scoffed. "You said it, didn't you? The old man's dying and can't decide on anything. As the most senior member of the family, I'm the only one who can make the call."

"No, no, no…"

Jon protested. "Grandfather is just sick. It's not so serious that he must leave a will already… and Dad's already sent for the best doctors. He'll regain consciousness soon enough."

Seeing that Jon was still not playing along, Yora turned toward Fleur, who flinched but said coolly, "Your grandfather's not going to wake up anytime soon, Jon."

Her confidence left Jon at once suspicious. "What? Why?"

Fleur sighed but explained, "Because your grandfather's been poisoned with the Lifecutter. It's a poison unique to Hundred Bane Sect—it would look like the patient has suffered a heart attack, but in reality it paralyzes a person's limbs and senses completely. Your grandfather is completely bedridden from now on."
