    Hence, in no time at all and without any words traded between them, the Quill family hade to a mutual understanding-Frank was theirmon enemy.


    And sensing that something strange was going on, Governor Quill frowned as he pointed at one of the soldiers and barked, "Tim Cox! Be honest- has my family been abusing you and yourrades?! I have said before that you are all equal in standing with them, so why are all of you serving as their security guards?!"


    Tim was ready to answer.


    Though the scene of his dearrade Eric dying with his eyes wide on the floor kept appearing in his mind, he also remembered his sister.


    Hence, after musing irresolutely to himself for a long while, he eventually looked up with a smile. "That never happened, sir. Your family has been most gracious to us... As for serving as security guards, we have been doing so voluntarily.


    "After receiving so much from your family, it really hurts our conscience not to give something back."


    "What...?"


    Even as Frank was left bbergasted that Tim was suddenly telling apletely different story than from hours ago, Tim hung his head and pointed at Frank. "But that''s not the case for that man. As soon as he came, he goaded us to turn against your family, promising us wealth and influence once he bes the governor.


    "But because of who he is and our allegiance to the Quill family, we yed along to lure him into telling us his ns. We are so shocked at how ambitious he is... it''s creepy."


    Frank was left dumbstruck as Tim''s words painted an entirely different picture.


    Now, he was no longer the visitor who was mistreated but a scheming snake who was intent on bing the governor.


    "Tim Cox, what..."


    And even before Frank could speak, he turned and saw the sneer on Tim''s face.


    He realized right then Tim had been swayed and waiting for this very moment to nder Frank.


    And even as Frank was left stunned, Governor Quill frowned as he barked, "Frank! What do you have to say against these usations?!" "I..."


    "Hmph!"


    Before Frank could speak, Saul snorted coldly and gestured for his servants to carry his stretcher over.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "Father, you mustn''t believe this prick at all! He imed he was trying to cure Megan, but he actually meant to molest her! She''s his cousin. That animal!"


    Saul snarled through his teeth, bellowing indignantly while painting a vivid picture with his words, as if it was the truth.


    "I saw that things were bad and tried

    to stop him, but this prick blindsided me while pretending to apologize and broke my limbs so that I couldn''t stop him... Also, we were endlessly weing and trusting when he came, but instead of feeling grateful, he kept harassing us every way he could!"


    Then, turning toward Alba, Saul snapped, "He broke your arms too, didn''t he?!"


    Alba''s lips were shaking his arms were not actually realigned just then.

    Then, as everyone including Frank looked on coolly, Alba eventually gritted his teeth and nodded. "That''s right Father... He broke my arms! He''s an insolent brat!"


    Cara leapt forward as well to join the nder campaign. "Exactly! soon as he stepped through our front gates, he''s been belittling us, even insulting me!"
