With a solemn tone, Kat announced, "Master Lawrence, I am thoroughly indebted to you. And since I have no way of repaying you, you can have my body in return." "Hmm...?"Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Thedies around the dining table-Helen, Winter, and Mona Fairfax-were quickly leveling her hostile res.


    "W-What are you staring at me for?"


    Kat scratched her head, getting ufortable from the stares. "Aren''t teacher-student rtionships allowed here?"


    "Teacher-student rtionships... What are you even talking about?!"


    Frank choked and red viciously at Kat before turning toward her father Nash. "You should straighten your daughter out, sir."


    "What?" Nash simply chuckled. "She''s grown up now, and she can make her own decisions. I''ve made up my mind now-as her father, I should be supportive of her choices." "Dad!" Kat eximed, her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at Nash.


    "Hehe..." Nash gave her a happy look in turn, clearly not repulsed by the idea of her hooking up with Frank.


    While he was wary before, he could not wait to have Frank be his son-inw.


    On the other hand, Helen and Winter were ring at Frank.


    While Mona did not appear to be reacting to the news much, she was really eating a lot today.


    Either way, it was a long and tormenting dinner for Frank.


    Fortunately, the awkwardness did notst long, for Noel York came over the next day and took Kat away to further train her newbie.


    As things calmed down around Cologne Court, Frank had more time on his hands... which did notst long until Noel called him.


    "We have a problem," she said tiredly, getting worn out as her showbizpany was expanding.


    "What? What is it?" Frank was outside sipping tea, a pastime he took up after that tea Silverbell made him.


    It nurtured temperament, clearing his mind of frivolous matters, while he slowly understood why the best martial artists secluded themselves.


    Noel exined exasperatedly, "Well,


    Lanecorp and the Turnbulls have


    been working together to import a lot of equipment... But the trucks transporting the equipment were intercepted and either stolen or sabotaged by unknown assants. We couldn''t salvage a thing."


    Frank frowned in turn. "How much do the losses amount to?"


    "Around two billion dors," Noel growled, clearly furious.


    "Two billion?"


    Frank tapped his fingers on the table.


    It was not as if he could not afford two billion, but it was clear that someone was messing with thepany''s operations. Naturally, no one would like it at all in their ce.


    "Their goal is clear-they were after


    the imported goods, and their leader was also threatening Lanecorp,


    warning us to give up on the idea of starting a showbizpany, o they''de after us when we


    purchase equipment again."


    Noel was clearly holding back her rage-she really could not take it lying down, being attacked and


    having to lose so much allsve


    equipment.


    That was why she called Frank.
