    While being head of the family sounded impressive, Jon was still no more than Yora''s puppet.


    Roth was therefore exceedingly furious towards his younger brother''s treachery, whereas their father Gavin was more thoughtful.


    Frowning, he shook his head and said, "Don''t point fingers just yet, Roth. You know what your brother''s like he''d rather be dead than be the head of the family."


    "Then..."


    "Yora most likely forced him into it." Gavin breathed a heavy sigh.


    "Well, what should we do?" Roth sighed, despondent that his own brother was now an enemy.


    But even with their hands tied, they could not allow themselves to fall under Yora Yimmel''s control either, or they should just be Yimmels instead.


    Then, Gavin said, "Let''s contact Frank Lawrence and see what he has to say. We will cooperate as best as we can if he offers any ideas." Gavin was aware of Frank''s connections, deciding right away to side with the sole heir to the Lord of the Southern Woods.


    After all, he was convinced that Yora''s authority would never best Frank''s, and he would rather let Frank be family head than Yora!


    "Okay!"


    Roth did not hesitate to whip out his phone and call Frank right then but he was left scowling after trying several times. "Dad... I can''t call anyone. The cell signal has been jammed."


    "What?!"


    Shock showed on Gaivn''s face-Yora was going that far?!


    It seemed that she was really bent on devouring the entire Lane family!


    That was when a Yimmel family retainer came over, holding out a hand and gesturing at the manor hall. "Mr. Lane, Mr. Lane. Madam Yimmel is speaking to the family soon-please proceed inside."


    Roth snorted. "Hmph. I need to step outside for a moment-there''s something I need to do."


    However, the Yimmel retainer stepped in his way, impassive. "Your presence is needed."


    "Fuck!"


    Roth cursed, pointing at the Yimmel


    retainer as he snapped, "This is Laneville Manor, not the Yimmels''

    "It''s Madam Yimmel''s orders, Mr. Lane," the Yimmel retainer said, pausing as his eyes shed coldly. "We are allowed to enforce discipline if anyone refuses. I''d suggest you go now for your safety."


    "What..."


    Roth was bristling-Yora was not even bothered to disguise her coup!


    "Calm down!"


    Gavin proved more seasoned than his son, grabbing thetter by the arm to stop him from anything rash.


    Casting an impassive look at the Yimmel retainer, he said calmly, "This is Laneville Manor. I''m sure Madam Yimmel already has an exnation for her actions. Let''s go


    With that, he pulled a seething Roth with him back into the Manor.


    And behind him, the Yimmel retainer locked up the gates of Laneville Manor.


    It was clear that every member of the Lane family was now under house arrest, and none were allowed in or out!


    In the evening, Frank had just arrived at Norsedam, unaware of Gavin''s predicament.


    He was not dragging his feet, however, and headed straight to the address Juno Enigma gave him.
