Chapter 362
The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage
Cram had managed to hoard a considerable sum thanks to his womanizing and was hoping his son could take up the mantle.
Naturally, with the Rejuvenation Pill selling like hot cakes and the discovery that Helenâs ex- husband was the one who invented it, Cram tasked his son with getting the recipe from Helen.
That went south too.
âLook, DadâHelen has no influence over Frank anyway,â Zeb said awkwardly. âAnd sheâs very careful, saying sheâd only consider investments after her grandfatherâs birthdayâ¦â
Cram thought about it. âThen work on Henry instead, and get the recipe soon.â
âI knowâ¦â Zeb sighedâit seemed that he had to attend Henryâs birthday party.
Meanwhile, Frank drove to Rivertonâs antique bazaarâafter his training for the dayâhe would never forget Henryâs birthday, and he certainly regarded the occasion with importance.
Henry always had a passion for antiques, which was why Frank had decided to choose one instead of having Trevor do it.
However, he only found counterfeits everywhere after walking around the place.
He was choosing a giftâsurely he could not give something fake.
âOh, if it isnât Frank Lawrence?â
Frank turned to the scornful voice to find Zeb standing there, holding a porcelain vase which looked like it cost a lot.
âWhat brings the great shareholder of Grande Pharma here?â Zeb sneered.
âIs there a problem with me being here?â Frank retorted flatly. âYouâre here, arenât you?â
âSure, whatever you say.â Zeb chuckled. âHere to pick something for Helenâs grandfather, arenât you?
To think a bigwig like you would pick some cheap crap from the street⦠Itâs really just going through the motions for you, huh?â
He was certainly eager to mock Frank however he could, since Frank had sabotaged his plans to get those defective Rejuvenation Pills off Hugo Goodman.
Frank glanced at the porcelain vase Zeb held in turn and chuckled coolly. âOh, itâs a porcelain vase dating back to the last century?â
âHaha! Iâm surprised you could actually tell that much.â Zeb snorted smugly. âItâs an officialâs possession during that era and worth a million.â
âA million dollar item? Youâre really thickâskinned, huh?â Frank said flatly. âIâd also advise you to pick something elseâHenry likes antiques, but he prefers paintings or manuscripts.â
Zeb was stunned.
He only found out from Cindy and Peter that Henry liked antiques, b what his grandfather actually liked.
not even Peter knew Nonetheless, Zeb snorted. âDid you think Iâd buy your crap? What I give shows my sincerity, and the old man would definitely like it. Who knows, he might be so pleased with it that heâd arrange for Helen to marry me! Hahahaâ¦â
Frankâs eyes narrowed, and Zeb was certainly pleased to see him upset. âDonât get jealous now, boy.
Now keep scrounging.â
Frank growled, âDonât trip over yourself.â
âYouâre just jealous!â Zeb gloated as he walked.
Frank flicked his fingers, launching a shot of his vigor at Zebâs knees. âOuch!â Zeb yelped in pain as he fell forward!
