Frank, however, did not even flinch.


    Now that he suspected Aria of duplicity, he was not about to give her another chance.


    "I''m busy," he said, throwing a jacket over her as he pushed her outside and locked the door after. "I''ll


    have to take a rain check."


    "Hey!"


    Aria was left stamping her bare feet outside in annoyance.


    Winter just happened to see that just as she left her room, and she appeared pensive. -


    Early next morning and after a good night''s sleep, Frank took Aria and went straight to White Hall in


    Soutsthtream.


    Aria was obviously resistant to the idea and kept cajoling him. "Frank, why don''t you go there yourself?


    I''m busy too..."


    "Just needed to confirm something. Don''t worry, I won''t do anything to you," Frank replied tly.


    His cold reaction only panicked Aria further, and her expression grew darker along the journey to


    Southstream.


    It was just a two-hour drive, and as they arrived at White Hall, Aria snapped at Frank, "What do you


    think you''re doing?"


    "Nothing. I just want the truth."


    "The truth?" Aria sobbed. "You took my first time, and I''m a girl—why would I lie to you about


    something like this? Is it because you think so lowly of me?"


    However, her hysterics were futile.


    Frank merely shot her a look and said quietly, "How''d you know I''m here to investigate what happened


    that night? I never breathed a word, and you''d never think that unless you''re hiding something."


    Aria stopped snapping at him and instead used her charm. "Let''s just go back, alright? I''ll listen to


    anything you say. I love you so so much."


    Frank, however, made it clear that this was not up for discussion as he turned off the car ignition and


    alighted, heading straight into White Hall.


    "Oh, Mr. Lawrence! Doe in!" Gorde, the butler, greeted him with a professional smile, having been


    informed earlier.


    As he led the way, he smiled. "Ms. White really missed you ever since you treated her injuries!


    Frank kept his chest puffed and his chin reared, pretending not to hear a word.


    On the other hand, Aria, who hung her head even as she followed Frank, was anxiously looking around


    distractedly.


    "We''re here at Ms. White''s guest room," Gorde said as he opened the door.


    "Wait, I''m meeting her?" Frank frowned. "I''m supposed to see Eron about the Five Elemental


    Wonders..."


    It was why he came here in the first ce.


    The truth of what happened at White Court Hotel was of secondary importance, and Aria''s behavior


    along the journey here had already made it clear to him that she had been lying.


    Gorde nodded but exined, "Actually, it was Ms. White who found out about the Five Elemental


    Wonders. She''s really gone the extra mile for you, sir—please don''t spurn her goodwill now."


    "Understood," Frank said, quiet as he appeared bemused.

    Kim was the one who found out about the Goldeater Cane? Did that mean that she was the one


    conspiring against Sage Lake Sect?


    And did Frank not save her life?


    He loathed ingrates the most!
