The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Chapter 1603

Jon Lane-Gavin Lane's second son-alighted. "Madam Lang? What are you doing out here? Dad's saying that Grandfather fell sick, and he's asking you to head back right away."

He was very respectful, since he had no idea why his grandfather was sick in the first place.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

As he finished and turned to see the imposing woman beside Fleur, he stiffened right then. "Madam Yimmel? W-What are you doing here? My dad just sent someone to Bralog="

Yora snorted coolly. "Hmph! It would be the end of the world if I had to wait that long!"

Jon quickly hung his head, sweating all over his brow in silence.

After all, Yora held a special place in the family—not only was she Mark Lane's first wife, but she was also the foundation which Mark built his success in business upon.

One might say that the Lane family would not enjoy their current status without the Yimmels' help-even Mark usually had to defer to her.

And since Yora was as unreasonable as she was assertive, the Lane were all terrified of her.

Even as Yora stared at Jon, he felt goosebumps, his throat suddenly parched as he did not know what to say.

And after much staring, Yora asked quietly, "Jon, right?"

"Y-Yes, Madam Yimmel. It's Jon," Jon quickly replied, wiping the sweat off his brow at the same time.

Yora nodded. "Good. You will be the next head of the Lane family."

"What?!"

Jon looked up at Yora's sudden bombshell, his whole body stiffening.

Eventually, he mustered an awkward smile even as he stammered, "Y-You're kidding, right, Madam Yimmel? Grandfather has already appointed Helen Lane as the next head of the family, and I have no right to even compete―"

"Hmph. How unseemly."

Yora snorted coolly and haughtily. "I've met Helen myself-she has no business leading the family. Just so you know, I've formally announced that she must step down as both the head of the family and the chairwoman of Lanecorp."

"What?!"

Jon was left gaping.

So that was why Yora and Fleur would show up here they were forcing Helen to step down!

Even so, Jon was left hesitant.

After all, ever since Helen became head, things became stable within the family, while Lanecorp have been developing like clockwork.

Thanks to that, even Jon himself got a share of the sizable spoils.

And to be honest, Jon earnestly respected his cousin.

If he were to take her place, forget about doing better-Lanecorp would be lucky if he did not run them into the ground. That was why Jon turned pale when Yora told him that he would be appointed the new head of the Lane family.

Be it in competence or experience, Jon could not fill Helen's shoes!

However, Yora seemed to read his mind and asked coolly, "You don't think you can do it, do you?"

"You're right, Madam Yimmel. I have no right, and I'm not as competent as Helen to lead the family. It's just..."

Jon was terrified, and becoming

head of the family was a burden to him and would not do him any good.

As such, he definitely did not want to get involved.
