"Heh. I told you, didn''t I?"
Luna was smiling smugly, folding her arms before her chest. "There''s no reason toe here at all.
Cato''spany is perfectly up to standards."
She then dispensed with all pretense, turning to Cato and throwing her arms around his neck. "Come
on, let''s go hang out. It''s rare for me toe to Morhen, and I''d rather not waste time on work. It''s
boring."
"Okay. In that case..."
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
Helen took out the agreement she kept in her briefcase, ready to stamp and sign it.
That was when Frank caught her wrist.
"Eh?" Helen looked up at Frank, puzzled.
"What are you up to now?!"
Luna was bristling since Frank was meddling again, standing akimbo as she snapped, "You just want to
mess with us, don''t you? Get out of here, if all you want to do is waste our time!"
"Mr. Lawrence," Cato growled coolly as he strode over. "This is mypany, and these are my
employees. We have all the proper legal certification and approvals, but here you are, questioning us.
What is this if not deliberate harassment?"
Frank shook his head despite their hostile res and simply stopped a down-to-earth looking
employee.
Pointing at Cato, he asked the man, "Who is he to you?"
"H-He''s our boss.? What''s wrong?" The man appeared perplexed.
"Oh!"
Frank nodded in realization but soon smiled. "And when did he be your boss?"
"What?!" Cato panicked right away at Frank''s question and kept shooting looks at the man.
The man stammered. "Yesterday. I mean, two days ago? No, I mean a month ago."
It was obvious he was a poor liar andpletely let the cat out of the bag.
Frank nodded and allowed him to leave, while giving Cato a meaningful smile. "You were saying that
your family was involved in engineering for generations? Don''t you think you should exin yourself?"
Cato''s cheeks stiffened.
However, before he could say a word, Luna had already leapt up, shrieking at Frank furiously, "Are you
done, Frank?! It doesn''t matter if Cato''s family is in the business! This is hispany, and we can all
see that! He''s not a bum like you—the way I see it, you''re just jealous he owns apany! Don''t think
you can ruin things for others just because you don''t own one!"
Seeing that she was still defending the conman after all that, Frank did not hesitate to shoot her a look
of disdain, muttering under his breath, "Idiot."
"What?! Did you just call me an idiot?!" Luna kept screaming like a fishwife. "I''ll tell Grandpa, believe it!
When I do, Helen''s candidacy as the next head of the Lane family will be forfeited! You Northstream
Lanes have been freeloading off us, so you''d better watch it, or I''ll tell Grandpa to chase everyst one
of you out of my house!"
Naturally, her ranting left mattersplicated, suddenly involving the family when just a few words
could have cleared up the entire mess.
It was simply unbelievable.
"That''s enough!" Helen bellowed just then, ring at Luna even as she left her stunned.
