Nash''s sudden bluntness was certainly a new side to him for Frank and Kat.
"Dad, what...?" Kat murmured.
"I know. I shouldn''t have kept it from you," Nash said, lovingly patting Kat''s head and sighing. "Your
mom was once a martial elite. She was almost dead after being blindsided by svile people, but I
chanced upon her and saved her.
"After that, she chose to bury her past, and we had you... but somehow, her old enemies found her.
She entrusted you tobefore leaving, and they killed her. That''s why I''ve tried my best to keep my head
down-it''s all for your sake." Sighing, he waved at Mel for her to leave. "You can go now. It''s not like I
won''t give you lo''sst heirloom-I just can''t. I won''t let you have it even if you tried to steal it... No, even
if you killed me." Mel''s eyes widened and she wheezed, pacing around his bed and ring at her as
she snapped, "Just look at yourself, Nash! You''re a loser without money, ving yourself for others!
You can''t even stand up for yourself after getting beaten up. Why bother with anything?! Just givelo''s
heirloom! Once you do, we don''t owe each other anything! If you refuse, I''ll have to take it from you!" At
her outburst, several men in ck strode into the ward.
Kat sensed danger right then and snapped at Mel, "What do you think you''re doing?!" "What I''m
doing?!" Mel growled icily. "Just look at your dad. How did my sister find herself sloser like him?! It''s so
embarrassing... Hell, I''m embarrassed for her! And look how far you''ve fallen, letting in sstrange people
to stay at your hfor money! The way I see it, there''s no point letting you keep my sister''s heirloom. Give
it to us, and my son can use it to bribe his bosses-lo''s money got him his CEO position, and what you
have now might be worth more. The Soranos might be so pleased that they''d even give him a couple
morepanies to manage!" "Quit wasting your twith them, Mom!" Matis strode up, his expression
cold. "If they refuse us, we have no reason to y nice!" Turning to his bodyguards, he barked, "Go tie
up that girl. Let''s see if that geezer will give up now!" "Yes! Go on, do it!" Mel readily nodded.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Mel simply bellowed, "Don''t bother mentioning her. She''s dead!" Seeing that there was no turning back,
Nash strained himself to turn to Frank with a pleading look. "m sorry Mr. Lawrence... But I have to ask
for your help again." S "Yeah." Frank nodded.
Even as a bystander, he understood everything now. Nash''s thewife was a martial artist who left a
fortune for her family, and Frank also realized that she had d the seal on Kat''s meridian nexus. cast
After all, lo Gunnar did not want Kat to beca martial artist in her footsteps, despite Kat''s born talent.
And then there was Mel, lo''s sister.
