The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23 

Inside Riverton General, Helen was leaning against the hallway, her head lowered in thought. 

Sean approached her, asking affectionately, “What’s on your mind, Helen?” 

“Nothing,” she replied. 

“Please don’t tell me it’s Frank,” Sean said tentatively. 

Helen smiled begrudgingly and shook her head. “Why would I be thinking about him?” 

“Yes, of course,” Sean promptly scoffed. “He’s trash–you should forget about him. I mean, you may be his ex–wife, but he actually refused to help even when he saw that you were in danger. You can’t depend on men like him.” 

Helen nodded in agreement, and seeing that, Sean promptly whipped out the diamond ring he had prepared in his pocket. 

Looking upon Helen lovingly then, he said, “I bought this for you–it’s the latest design from Pegasus Diamonds. I wanted to give it to you as a gift after you got that contract from the Turnbulls, but I didn’t have the chance.” 

Helen was stunned. “What is this, Mr. Wesley?” 

“Do you really not get it?” Sean’s blazing eyes were fixed on her. 

Helen averted her eyes. “I get it, but I don’t think we’re good for-” 

“Helen, I know this is sudden,” Sean said, promptly cutting her short. “But I’m hoping you won’t reject me. Just give us time I’m sure things will change.” 

He reached for her arm right then, but the instant he touched her skin, she avoided him as if jolted. ” 

I’m sorry, 

but I can’t accept this–it’s too expensive.” 

“Hehe, it’s alright,” Sean said, forcing a smile even though his eyes flashed severely. 

Bang! 

There was a sudden crash behind them, and they both turned to find someone kicking down the fire escape door. 

Soon, a gang of burly thugs streamed into the hallway! 

The head nurse was immediately spooked by their arrival and asked with a quivering voice, “W- What’s your business here…?” 

Blondie promptly barked at the nurse, “Shut up!” 

At the same time, Sean was terrified–not only did Blondie really have a boss, but he had underlings 

too! 

And here he thought Blondie was just bluffing! 

Gina heard the commotion and stepped outside just then, and Blondie recognized her immediately. ” That’s Helen’s mom, boss!” 

you want?!” 

Gina turned pale in shock immediately, surprised that Blondie brought so many thugs! 

Nonetheless, Helen promptly rushed to Gina, shielding her as she demanded, “What do 

Robin strode out from among the thugs just then. Studying her from head to toe like she was merchandise, he nodded in satisfaction. “Good. You’re really beautiful–more so than you look on TV. 

Helen’s face stiffened. 

TV? 

She had certainly picked some of her better photos to promote herself yesterday… And ended up drawing the interest of these thugs! 

Robin chuckled then. “I’m going drinking tonight, Ms. Lane. Keep me company, and you can have a nightclub in return. How about that?” 

Gina spat at Robin’s face right then! 

From her perspective, her daughter would eventually become the lady of the Wesley household, an endlessly noble position! 

“My daughter is a proper maiden! Going drinking with you?! Who do you take her for?!” 

“F*ck you!” Robin bellowed and grabbed Gina by the hair, dragging her away. 

“Stop it! Let go of her!” Helen cried out in panic. 

On the other hand, Gina felt like her scalp would be torn off but refused to back down. 

“Argh!!!” she cried. “Help me, Mr. Wesley! Kill these thugs right now!” 

Standing behind everyone, Sean’s heart skipped a beat.
