The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 448

Frank frowned—was Sylvia not being too impolite here?

Beside him, Vicky was furious. "What the hell is wrong with her? Isn't she disrespecting us too muchhere?"

Frank sighed lengthily, but there was nothing he could do either.

They continued waiting outside the door, and it was fortunate that Paul soon returned.

He alighted, wearing a suit, recognizing Vicky right away and smiling as he greeted her, "Long timeno see, Ms. Turnbull. I'm so glad that you'd spare time to visit my humble home."

"You're exaggerating.” Vicky smiled.

Paul then noticed Frank and asked in curiosity, “And this gentleman would be...?"

"Frank Lawrence," Vicky quickly said. "He's a consultant and shareholder to my company, GrandePharma.”

"Oh, okay..." Stanley stammered as he returned upstairs.

Frank, however, was frowning, his eyes never leaving Stanley.

Soon, Sylvia came downstairs, having changed into something formal instead of her sleeping gown.Paul introduced her proudly right then, "Ms. Turnbull, Mr. Lawrence. This is my wife, Sylvia. She usedto be the prettiest girl in Riverton University."

Frank smiled as he sighed in awe. "She is certainly a marvelous beauty. Even the star celebrities Iknow would seem dull in comparison..."

Vicky had to force herself to keep smiling, almost caught off guard by Frank's capacity for suchdisgusting flattery.

Paul was laughing heartily in turn.

They all moved to the living room, making some small talk until Vicky saw the time was right andcut to the chase, "There's a reason we're visiting, Mr. Fielden.”

Paul already had a hunch—he owned a company, after all.

"Please feel free to ask, Ms. Turnbull."

Vicky sighed in relief and said solemnly, “I heard you possess a hundred-year old drakeroot, and Ijust happen to need it to save a friend who sustained a grievous injury. May I ask if you're willing topart with it? I'm willing to pay however much you may ask for.”

Paul frowned, not expecting that Vicky would ask for the drakeroot—he would have agreed toanything else, just not his family's heirloom.

However, even as he hesitated, Sylvia suddenly snapped, "No. Absolutely not.”

Both Frank and Vicky turned toward Sylvia in surprise.
