Frank stared at the greasy-haired man in a pink suit with an earnest smile. "I''ve merely drugged you, Sil, to see if you have the vigor of a man." "What..."


    "Alright, I know it hurts-don''t worry, I''ll do right by you." Frank chuckled and snapped his fingers.


    Two men-in-ck appeared behind Frank right then and carried Sil down to the sub-basement.


    They were Gene''s men, while Gene himself had already headed down to the sub-basement with a handful of other men.


    He sat on the huge pink couch in the room filled with filming equipment, where two naked meny in pools of their own blood. Rory strode in, smiling gleefully at the thought of revenge.


    When she saw Gene, however, her smile stiffened as panic quickly seized her.


    "Got a new backer so soon already, Rory?" Gene asked as he took a puff on his cigar, ncing her way nonchntly. "..."


    Rory was dumbstruck-what was Gene doing there?!


    Could it be...Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    She was shocked, but was Geneing back for her because he still had feelings for her?


    Her panic faded right then, and she shed a chagrined smile. "Gene, I—"


    "Hmph."


    Gene snorted coldly, crushing her fantasies right then as he flicked his cigar. "Don''t you think that I don''t know what you''re doing with


    Lionhearts. Did you really think


    you''re so smart, that you could keep everything from me?"


    Rory''s pale right then and panickedly tried to exin. "Gene, I wasn''t—" "You weren''t what?!"


    Gene bellowed furiously as he mmed his palm on the table, leaving Rory flinching. "What did I say?! I was nice enough to not punish you out of sentiment, but what did you do?! You''re just so vile! And what would you do after you had your revenge against Frank and Ms. York? Are you going toe after me as well once you''re strong enough?! Don''t forget who helped you to your sess in the first ce!"


    "I... I..."


    Rory hung her head but could not say a word since she was really afraid of Gene.


    She had no idea how he found out either, until she looked on, gaping as two men carried Sil into the room. And before them were the two people she loathed most-Frank and Noel.


    "You..."


    No matter how foolish she was, Rory finally realized that Chet had betrayed Sil when he brought Noel here.


    In fact, this was all part of Noel and Frank''s n, and Noel was never helpless.


    It was her, Rory Thames, who was helpless!


    As Frank walked past Rory, he even pped a hand on her shoulder and chuckled. "Hehe... Thank you so much for your generous donation of five billion dors, Ms. Thames. It''d makeup for the losses you caused for Lanecorp.... To be fair, there''s an extra three billion, but I guess that ounts for non-material


    damages."


    On the other hand, Noel actually felt sympathy. "I told you, Rory. But you had to... well."


    "Ha... Hahaha..."


    Rory watched Sil, who did not even have the strength to fight, drop to her knees,ughing in despair.
