The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



Chapter 13

Helen gasped as Vicky strode toward them under the crowd's escort, realizing that she was Ms. Turnbull given how the crowd behaved around her.

She certainly harbored contempt for Vicky earlier and was left feeling uncomfortable about that.

Not only was Vicky far more beautiful than she was, but even the former's family and connections crushed anything she had!

At that moment, she understood what Vicky meant about humiliating herself.

There was no way she would get that project as long as Vicky was around!

At the same time, Sean was stammering, "Y-You're Ms. Tumbull?'

"What, does that disappoint you?" Vicky looked at him gleefully in turn. "Also, you were insulting Mr. Lawrence, weren't you?"

"Hmph! So what?" Sean snorted.

From where he stood, Frank had nothing going for him at all. Even if he managed to seduce Vicky, he was nothing more than her plaything!

In fact, if Vicky fought him over her gigolo, she would be bringing shame to the Turnbulls!

As such, he was dead sure that Vicky could not do anything to him and therefore did not expect Vicky to slap him too!

Even though she lacked strength, striking Sean on his already swollen face certainly doubled the pain!

"Argh!" Sean cried out in pain, and glared at Vicky in disbelief! "Y-You actually hit me over the gigolo?! I'm Sean Wesley, y'know?!"

"So?" Vicky asked coolly, staring him down like a haughty empress. "Anyone who insults me will suffer me-even your daddy!"

Everyone flinched at her declaration that echoed throughout the banquet hall, and silence ensued.

No one dared to look Vicky in the eye, and even the usually prideful Helen had to keep her head down in the face of Vicky's dominating presence.

Sean was left gritting his teeth, his eyes red with rage.

His face was not the only thing suffering Vicky's slap-she had basically insulted his whole family in full view of the public!

However, he was afraid of acting out in front of Vicky-his family really were insignificant compared to the Turnbulls.

Still, Vicky turned toward Frank as she calmed down. "Come with me, Mr. Lawrence. We have something to discuss."

Frank nodded and left with her.

However, everyone only breathed a sigh of relief when Vicky was out of sight.

Everyone who had been joining Sean in humiliating Frank all dispersed as well, not daring to speak to him at all.

At the same time, Gina was trembling so much that she had to grab Helen's arm to keep standing.

"H-How did Frank Lawrence hook up with Ms. Tumbull?" she cried. "What if that bastard badmouths us?!"Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Helen frowned, her heart skipping a beat.

However, she shook her head. "He's not like that."

"What do you mean, he's not?!" Gina snapped. "If he isn't, why did Mr. Zurich call off our partnership? That b*st*rd must've badmouthed us! Why else do we have to go through great lengths to suck up to the Turnbulls?!"

Stamping her feet even as she fretted, she continued, "Well, now that he hooked up with Ms. Tumbull, who knows how he's going to get back at us!"

Naturally, Helen wavered at her mother's words.
