Eron planted himself on the couch, growling icily, "I offered Frank twice the compensation amount back
then, but he doesn't know his place! Not only did he refuse me, but he'd even seduce my daughter!
He's getting his just deserts—once he's dead, Sage Lake Sect would agree to betrothing Maron to you,
Kim!"
"You're crazy!" Kim snapped and fled the guest room just like that.
Aria was ready to stop her. "How dare you do this to me, you—"
Eron waved her off, barking, "Let her go—she's not leaving this house anyway! She really is getting
even more stubborn these days..." -
As she ran, Kim kept calling Frank, but his phone line was engaged.
Kim could not help blaming herself—she was just thinking she finally could help Frank in some way,
only for it to all turn out to be her father's ploy!
She had done this to Frank. the man who saved her life!
Gritting her teeth, she resolved in her grief, "If anything happens to Frank, my father would just have to
marry my corpse to Sage Lake Sect!"
However, just as she reached the doors, she found Liv staring at her with pursed lips.
"Stop right there, Ms. White," she said and gestured for the security guards to restrain Kim.
"What are you doing, Liv?! Are you on my father's side?!" Kim cried, her heart sinking rock-bottom and
her tears flowing to see her close friend and bodyguard betray her!
"Don't blame me." Liv sighed. "I don't know what happened, but you're definitely going to look for
Frank."
"If you know that, then let me go!" Kim cried even as she struggled.
"No." Liv shook her head as she leveled Kim a troubled look. "I've looked into him, y'know. Nothing was
known about him before he married into the Lane family, and he freeloaded there until they kicked them
out three years later. After that, he managed to hook up with Vicky Turnbull—being with him would just
humiliate your family."
"And that's not the worst of it—you'd be putting yourself in danger. Also, I heard your conversation with
Frank last night, and I'm not about to sit still while you throw yourself into the fire pit."
Liv's face was stony and clearly not intending to discuss the matter.
Even so, Kim cried, "Frank is in danger! He's walking into Sage Lake Sect's trap! My father lured him
there with a tip about the Goldeater Cane! And he'd rather I marry Moran Ocean, the son of Sage Lake
Sect's chief! Please, Liv—for the sake of our friendship, just let me go! I'd rather die than marry Moran!"
"What?! Frank is an enemy of Sage Lake Sect?"
Liv frowned at Kim's ramblings. "Then I have even less reason to let you go. Just give up already—
Frank is a good healer, but he's also a loser who doesn't even have a job. And are you that keen on
having Sage Lake Sect wipe out your family because of him?"
Liv was determined, and Kim knew that she would not make it out.
"Please, Liv... Frank saved you too, didn't he?"
