Even as Eron smiled warmly, he was drawing up ns in his mind.


    He had given Frank his chance to walk away, but Frank had to take away his Earthen Dragonheart


    anyway. If Frank had not, it would not have been so difficult for Eron to arrange a marriage between


    Kim and Maron!


    If anything, Frank taking away the Earthen Dragonheart and Eron letting Sage Lake Sect have their


    way with him made them even!


    Kim was at once uneasy to see that look on his father''s face.


    After the banquet, Kim went to his study. "What are you up to, Dad?''


    Eron scowled since she was being very blunt.


    "Nothing," he said quietly. "It''ste. Go to bed already."


    "Does it involve the fiance you mentioned before?" Kim pressed worriedly. "If you''re nning to harm


    Frank, I''d suggest you stop right now."


    "What would you know?!" Eron snapped sternly. "Everything I do is for your sake and for our family!


    What, did you think Frank was the one who destroyed the Yaffes? I''ve looked into him—he might know


    medicine and martial arts, but he has nothing else going for him. He''s now no more than Vicky


    Turnbull''s gigolo, and to be frank, insignificant."


    "So you are up to something. Dad, I''m begging you, just listen to me once—don''t mess with him,


    alright?" Kim pleaded.


    Eron only grew sterner. "You''re too young, and I understand you''re attached to the brat, but you''ll be


    marrying a man better than Frank Lawrence or Seth Yaffe soon. That''s all I''ll say."


    "Dad!" Kim despaired to see her father''s stubbornness.


    Be it with the Yaffes or whoever he had in mind now, he never considered her opinion, forcing her to


    marry someone without her agreement.


    She obviously did not like it, but Eron remained stubborn.


    Still, she came up with a bold idea, balling her knuckles as she strode out of Eron''s study.


    "I''m running away!" she growled.


    Instead of being treated as her father''s puppet and leverage, she should take fate into her own hands


    — even if it killed her!


    That''s why she did not hesitate to knock on Frank''s door and enter.


    As soon as she saw him, she held her gaze and said, "Let''s run away, Mr. Lawrence.


    "What?" Her sudden request and wounded look left Frank utterly confused, especially since he did


    nothing to warrant it either. "Is everything alright, Ms. White?" "My dad''s nning to harm you, Mr.


    Lawrence," Kim pressed. "Just run and take me with you. I can''t stand this ce for another second."


    Frank raised a brow.


    Amazing—Eron''s entire n was exposed by his own daughter.


    Liv just came this afternoon to warn Frank, and now Kim was asking him urgently to take her away...


    Nheless, Frank shook his head. "You shouldn''t joke about things like these, Ms. White."


    "I''m not joking!" Kim''s eyes were red, and she stubbornly refused to budge. "Take me, or I''ll shout for


    help and tell them you''re molesting me!"


    "Really.?"


    Frank was actually surprised that a polite and soft-spoken heiress like Kim could get so drastic,


    threatening him like this!Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.
