Cid naturally had no argument since Frank had put it that way.Now that the truth was out anyway, he was not getting back together with Mrs. Sturgeon, which meant her family and his Sunblazers were going their separate ways now.Even as his lover begged her relentlessly, all Cid had to tell her was, "Get out of here!"Seeing that pleading would not work with Cid, and since she was afraid to ask Frank, Mrs. Sturgeron turned toward Kat. "Please, girlie… It was all just a mistake. Could you please ask your mentor to return my son's kidney? I can give him anything in exchange!"She had no idea Kat was the one person who hated the Sturgeons the most in the room.With a glare of contempt, Kat chuckled coolly. "Your son's kidney? We made it very clear to you that it's Lauren's kidney. He donated it to your son out of kindness, but what did you Sturgeons do? Have you shown him an ounce of respect? Well, Master Lawrence and I are reasonable people, so we returned your 500 grand. Don't even

"What? Oh, I understand."Cid quickly patted himself on the chest, assuring Frank that it was as good as done.Kat was relieved to have the Sunblazers' underboss assurance too.After Cid escorted them away, he turned toward Kali with an awkward smile. "Shall we go, Ms. Sturgeon?""Go? Where to?"Kali had been peeking at the drawing room from the kitchen, and her soul almost left her when she saw Cid turning his attention to her.After all, the Sunblazers were killers! Anyone who fell to his hand would never cheat death."Let's just get you out of here for now," Cid replied. "Oh, and Mr. Lawrence said that I should help you, so you'll be an underboss of the Sunblazers now.""Eh? What? Why?!"Kali flinched at Cid's words—she was going to be an underboss to these murderers?!"What? Do you have a problem with that, Ms. Sturgeon?" Cid was smiling, but from Kali's panicked perspective, he could well be threatening her!"Oh, no, of course not." Kali shook her head repeatedly to s

"Just calm down for now…"Frank mentioned his suspicions after thinking about it. "How did those saboteurs know the time and location where the equipment would be moved? Have you considered that?""I did!"Noel was certainly sharp after working in showbiz for years and caught on to Frank's hint in an instant.After all, the only reason this could have happened was that there was a mole, who leaked when and where the imported equipment would be transported, or those saboteurs would never have reached them so easily."But…" Noel soon trailed off awkwardly. "Since the company is expanding rapidly, we've had to recruit plenty of new personnel, and there's no eliminating the fact that there are moles already on the inside.""I'm coming over. Let's talk when I get there," Frank said, hanging up and driving straight to a spacious park district.Lanecorp had purchased the entire district and were in the midst of building various facilities. There were studios for filming and audio rec

Chet Jonas was a total bloodsucker, and if not for his connections to the Lionhearts, Urian would have had his men dismember him.Still, before Chet left, Urian's assistant knocked on the door and announced, "Mr. Reno, there's a man and a woman outside, asking to see you.""Asking to see me?"Urian did a double take but soon pursed his lips and huffed. "Tell them to leave! Do I look like I'd meet just anyone?""But, sir…"The assistant appeared awkward. "I don't recognize the man, but the woman is Noel York.""Noel York…"Various looks alternated over Urian's face.After all, Noel was the top actress of Draconia, and her name was a bombshell to every Draconian citizen.No man could resist like her—even Urian was gulping unwittingly even as he thought of her face.Glancing at Chet, he flashed an apologetic smile. "Sorry, it seems that Ms. York must be here to talk business, like ordering some clothing. I won't bug you to stay in that case.""What are you saying?"Chet, howev

"What do you want?"Noel frowned as she backed away, surprised that Chet was so bold that he was ready to make a move in public."Oh, don't misunderstand."Chet stopped and smiled smugly. "I don't mind telling you that I'm assistant to Sil Lionheart, vice chief of Volsung Sect's Caudal Hall. It must therefore be fate that brings us together, Ms. York… Why don't you consider a partnership with Lionhearts?""Sure, the Lionhearts do not have a monopoly on showbiz like the Soranos, but with me here, you will have protection. Just join us Lionhearts, and I'll ask Sil to invest in you, elevating you to unprecedented heights. How about that?"Chet thought that his offer was very attractive, since people were always terrified and respectful every time he mentioned the Lionhearts.As such, even Noel—who was famous throughout Draconia—was just another girl in Chet's eyes.After all, would she dare go against the Lionhearts?That was when Frank strode up, staring at Chet in amusement as h
