The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

Huub was trembling uncontrollably when he remembered the terrifying geezer's face, which left Paul really concerned. "Are you alright, Huey?" "I'm fine, Grandpa."

Eventually, Huub slowly calmed down.

Glancing at Nux just then, he realized right away that the terrifying geezer from earlier was as scary as he looked, even able to decide Leino's fate with just one word.

Not only was Droitner Inc. helpless against such people, but there was no way that Nux, the mayor of Bralog, would lie outright with so many people watching.

As such, Huub was completely convinced that it was all over for Leino.

And with Leino arrested, Droitner Inc. would soon be implicated as well, and as Huub and Paul were the brains of the organization, he knew that the worst punishment awaited them. They were involved in everything, from stealing historical and cultural artifacts, to who knew what else. Even nine lives would not be enough.

At that thought, Huub was at once regretful-why did he mess with Frank when business was going so well for him?

Hell, because of Frank, every unsavory business that Droitner Inc. was involved in had been completely exposed, and everyone who was involved was going to prison or worse. However, amid his despair, Huub suddenly had an idea.

He could run!

There would still be time before Leino would be thoroughly interrogated. As such, Huub could seize the moment and call up every favor accrued over the years to flee the country.

It would be the easy life from there, where Draconia's laws no longer apply, while Huub could lead a decent life abroad with the riches that Droitner Inc. had accumulated over the years.

With that plan in mind, Huub promptly turned toward his

grandfather and said, "Yes, Grandpa! Frank Lawrence destroyed the exhibition hall and hurt me! He and Nux Hamner are conspiring to tarnish our company's reputation!"

While Paul was at once bristling, he was also skeptical. "But didn't you say that your godfather was here? Was he taken away?"

He had his doubts, because if Leino had really been arrested, it would mean that some unthinkable power had gotten involved.

In other words, if Paul fought Nux now, that just meant that he would be violating more laws and was basically a dead man.

Godfather."

Everyone was left staring blankly when they heard what Huub said.

The brat had just been hugging Leino's leg and begging for help earlier, and he was now saying that he did not see Leino?!

Helen was frowning too, unsure since Huub's lie was really unnecessary. "What is he playing at?"

With Leino arrested, Droitner Inc. would be investigated and exposed-it was all just a matter of time.

Only Frank was watching Huub in disdain, as he saw what Huub was planning.

The brat would sacrifice his own grandfather to buy time and escape.

It was a vile plan, using his own elder like a tool-Huub was really less than human.
