Frank remained impassive despite Ste''s tearful pleas, snorting. "So? What business of mine is your family''s troubles?"


    He was not about to change his mind... or he could not, to be precise.


    The Favonis were determined to kill him, so he could not just y saint just because Ste was begging him through tears and let Jaden kill him.


    Moreover, Ste really was not a looker andcked charm-even if she did, Frank was not about to fall for it.


    "You should save your breath for your father and brother," Frank said shortly.


    His principles were always simple-he would keep out of anyone''s way, as long as they kept out of his.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    However, that only left Ste further pained.


    She had already told her father and brother a hundred times over that Frank was above them and was not to be messed with, but they were too prideful to listen.


    They even believed that Frank bewitched her.


    Moreover, some twentyish youth massacred over thirty Favoni martial artists? If word of that got out, they would beughed at!


    And being a family whose main business is outsourcing security personnel, who would ever trust them again after they found out the truth? Let alone hire their martial artists or bodyguards?


    They had to maintain their reputation or their family would be in trouble-even if it meant ndering Frank for being a despicable piece of shit.


    Ste could see that much, which was why she was here to beg Frank to spare her brother.


    Just then, ckie returned and reported, "Boss-ahem, I mean, Mr. Lawrence-two other women just arrived!"


    "Hmm?" Frank raised a brow.


    Before he could ask, ckie was eximing excitedly, "Both of them are beautiful. One''s voluptuous, while the other is a feisty maiden."


    "Show them in..." Frank waved exasperatedly.


    The exchange left Ste doing a double take.


    So after all that fuss, Frank turned out to be all about the looks? Was he refusing her because she was not a looker?


    "Tut, tut, tut..."


    Even as Ste reached up to touch her own cheeks in reflex, someone clicked her tongue audibly beforeing to view.


    It was a woman in a red dress that


    ened her stunning figure a


    long legs, which i


    and


    were covered in fiss.


    As she looked around, shaking her head, another girl who had juste of age but was wearing a school uniform appeared beside her.


    She glowered and snapped at Ste as soon as she saw her. "Sis?!"


    "Hmm."


    Frank was frowning.


    Even if the pair were easy on the


    eyes, he knew right then that then et


    were


    onis, given that they e had just called Ste


    Rubbing his temples, he sighed exasperatedly, "What''s going on today? Are the Favonis holding a family conference in my mansion?"


    On the other hand, Ste was clearly surprised by their presence. "Chelly? Aunt Tara? What are you doing here?"


    "Hehe. Our family would be humiliated if we never came." Tara Sachs gloated and pointed at Ste''s sleeve with her hand fan.


    Ste looked down, and her face fell when she found the bug on her sleeve button!


    "We heard everything you said!" Chelly Favoni glowered, pointing at Frank and snapping, "What''s your rtionship with him?! Why are you betraying our family?!"


    "I-I''m not!" Ste grimaced in pain at her own sister''s usation.
