    Frank eventually shook his head in exasperation, telling Winter and Jean to leave for the moment.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    He told them that he woulde for them once he was done with his business in Quill Manor, as he did not want to see his grandfather terrify Winter. And that was why Frank was now standing outside Megan''s room.


    He first nced at Alba as he begged at his feet, and then at the hostile Saul.


    Then, he said quietly, "I have no intention to suck up to you or to take over the governor''s office. I only returned for the sake of your safety.


    "Saul, you will leave now, cuff yourself at the front gates, and await your sentencing there. Everyone else must also clear out-I''ll check on the patient before I make a decision."


    Everyone in the room was left taken aback, what with the way Frank ordered everyone around like a judge handing out sentences impassively. "Hahaha!"


    Saul did not hesitate tough right then, as he was the real authority here in Quill Manor. "You brat! You keep saying that you aren''t interested in bing the governor, so what are you doing here?


    "Also, did you just presume to order me around?! Do you really think you''re that important?!"


    Despite Saul''s mockery, Frank was about to tell him that Governor Quill was returning.


    However, he thought about it and decided against it.


    First of all, his grandfather had told him not to expose himself.


    Secondly, he did not like Saul at all. Who cared if he lived?


    Hence, he smirked, even as Saul keptughing. "I only care enough to say it once. It''s your fault if you refuse to listen.


    "Anyway, you can all leave now. I''ll attend to the patient. Out!"


    Alba and his wife I promptly exchange looks of delight. "Thanks, Nephew-"


    "Stop!"


    Frank held up a hand to stop Alba from sucking up to him, snapping coolly, I''m not your nephew, and don''t want anything to do with you. Now shut up and leave!"


    Both Alba and I appeared stunned, but neither appeared upset, merely nodding, and they kept thanking Frank as they hurried to leave.


    Considering how Alba had treated


    ?


    Frank before, the fact that Frank had put that aside and returned to save their daughter was already endlessly gracious.


    Could they really expect him to be nice? That would be naive of them.


    Still, just as Alba, I, and an embarrassed Dr. Georg tried to leave, Saul strode up, cutting them off.


    "Did you think that I''d just let you walk away?" he demanded, leaving Alba dumbfounded.


    Then, he wheeled on Frank with a


    smirk. "By the way, I''ve injected a type of poison into your patient, and her vigor ispletely gone now. You can''t save her even if you tried!"


    "What?" Frank frowned slightly.
