Chapter 1637
Yora was no different, as she could barely hold back her rage.
She was ready to be reasonable with Frank, just as she intended to use the excuse of alliance to make Frank, the sole heir to the Lord of the Southern Woods, the Yimmels' new patron.
Not only did Frank immediately refuse, but he was also demanding that the Yimmels become vassals to the Lane family?!
Did he even consider the weight class of either family?!
If anything, Frank's demand made it clear that the Yimmels could not reason with Frank now-he wanted to push them over the brink, and the so- called alliance was certainly a pipe dream.
Moreover, from the perspective of the key members and executives of the Yimmel family, Frank merely meant to insult them.
You can kill a pawn, but never humiliate them—some were even thinking that it was high time they killed their hostages in Laneville!
Helen almost fainted at Frank's ridiculous demands too.
They were just inches away from saving the Southstream Lanes unscathed while building an alliance with the Yimmels, which was undoubtedly great for Lanecorp.
However, Frank simply threw away the gold bullion that dropped from the sky, even demanding that the Yimmels become subservient to the Lane family.
What the hell was going on? Did Frank somehow lose his mind?
Still, as Helen looked worriedly at Frank, her concerns slowly faded when she saw his confident smile.
She closed her eyes, telling herself repeatedly that Frank must have a reason in doing this.
She must believe Frank... but how?!
The Yimmels' offer was absolutely amazing-they would rescue their hostages while forming a beneficial partnership, but Frank refused it without hesitation.
Still, just as Helen was about to speak up, her brother placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her. "Shush. Just trust him on this."
The sight of her spoiled brat of a brother becoming composed actually left Helen impressed.
Peter was right-why would Frank do something that would damage their position?
He definitely had a reason for doing this.
With that, Helen worked hard to quell
vel?
his unease, unaware that even the Lanecorp health and safety department officers were doubtful of their boss' decision.
It was the perfect deal-securing the release of the hostages, and making more money.
So why on earth would their boss refuse, even spitting in their faces and demanding an important family to be their vassals...
Was that not a little conceited?Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Hehe. I get it... You're all confused, and even angry, right?"
Frank remained smiling as he looked around at the Yimmels, though his words were meant for everyone in the room. "You think?!"
A Yimmel family executive strode up
right then, pointing at Frank as he snapped, "We're done being nice, Frank Lawrence! You're too stubborn and greedy, asking for more!"
"Our family will make you pay!"
"Yes! We have our connections too!"
"Madam Yimmel, we must not let this insolent brat go unpunished!"
Yora could hear her family's vocal disapproval, but she restrained herself as she growled, "You're really conceited, Frank, demanding that we fall to your fault. Are you perhaps actually keen to have the
Southstream Lanes killed?"
