Frank had no idea how Ciaran made it out, or how she improved so drastically in such a short time, but


    it must have something to do with the technique she manipted those insects with.


    Aside from that, Ciaran dropped a bombshell on Frank that it was none other than the Lionhearts of


    Morhen who hired her to attack the Turnbulls.


    Coupled with the fact that the Lionhearts'' own heir would soon marry Vicky, one had to start


    considering the facts.


    Once the Turnbulls were wiped out ''by coincidence'' right after that arranged marriage, every Turnbull


    estate would undoubtedly fall into the Lionhearts'' hands.


    It was all the Lionhearts'' ns, but the Turnbulls ignorantly insist on marrying Vicky off, ying right


    into the Lionhearts'' hands.


    Once Frank was done keeping Zac alive, he took a look around the banquet hall.


    It was a scene ofplete pandemonium.

    There was no stopping the screams and curses—even Glen had his face left a little charred since


    some of Marit''s acidic blood struck him.


    "Damn her!!!" he growled, unable to maintain his calm andposure despite being the head of the


    family, even mming his hand violently on the table. "The dinner will be postponed. That''s all for


    today! You may all leave now!"


    With that, he did not stop to show others any concern as he left with the servants'' help.


    "Damn the South Sea Crow!"


    "My face... My handsome face!"


    "Ow. I wouldn''t havee if I knew this would happen!"


    Comints could be heard everywhere as the rest of the Turnbulls left in a hurry.


    At the same time, Frank found Vicky from the crowd and told her quietly about the information he


    received from the South Sea Crow.


    "What?!" Vicky eximed in disbelief. "The Lionhearts are actually that vile?!"


    "Wolves in sheepskin, as they say." Frank sighed, shaking his head. "They knew your family were just


    magnates who can''t protect yourselves, and they exploited that."


    Vicky frowned but soon made an awkward look. "Frank. I''d like to tell Uncle Glen about this, but you


    know that we don''t have proof."


    Naturally, she was furious as soon as Frank told her, and her delight came soon after, since she now


    had a legitimate reason to annul her engagement with Titus.


    Still, despondence soon ensued because Frank was her source.


    Frank would never lie to her, but without proof, her uncle would not believe her.


    Moreover, he was responsible for the entire Turnbull family, and to turn against the Lionhearts meant


    war.


    That was not to be done lightly.


    "Don''t worry—I''ll find evidence, and it won''t take long," Frank assured Vicky.


    "Yeah." Vicky nodded but soon leveled a suspicious re at him. "By the way, why do I also get this


    feeling you''ve been staring at Marit funny? Be honest! You were up to something bad with her, weren''t


    you?"


    Her sudden question caught Frank off guard.


    Was she really doing the jealous girl act? At a time like this?!


    "Hah! Call it women''s intuition!" Vicky snapped tempestuously.
