Sighing lengthily and forcing a smile, Kat said, "Master Lawrence, | know you're amazing... Don't worry.| won't hold my father's

injury against you, and there's only so much that anyone can do. At least he's alive and recovering."novelbin

"I'm not lying," Frank said dryly with a frown, but he had no idea how to make her believe him.

"Oh, | believe you, bro." Matis chuckled, coming over to throw an arm around Frank's shoulder. "Don'tworry—I'll call Mr. Sorano

himself and ask him to cover soon, and then I'll get you a nice, cozy cell in a mental asylum. Maybesshock therapy will

bring you back to reality."

"I can't do anything if you don't believe me." Frank sighed and shrugged.

He expects the Soranos to arrive and apologize soon, or at least send someone over.

That was why Frank did not want anyone else here—if the Sorano decided to go full scorched earthand sent their forces to attack

them, Kat and the others would be a burden.

But he had now seen through Nash's relatives. They were not here to show their concern for Nash—they just wanted to flex their

sense of superiority, even though it was worth nothing in Frank's perspective.

On the other hand, Mel could see that Nash had been quiet throughout, and she walked up to his bedwith a smile. "Nash, why

don't you entrust my sister's heirloom to me? As you can see for yourself, you're in no state to watchover anything. Don't worry,

though. Matis is now an important man, and he'll get you justice! | promise you—we won't lay a fingeron it. It's just for

safekeeping, and we'll return it to Kat when she's older and stronger."

Frank was surprised for a moment but soon sneered subtly.

So, in the end, these relatives did not just want to show off—they were also after sheirloom Nash waskeeping.

Kicking a man when he was down... talk about being despicable.

"What heirloom?" Kat turned to her father in surprise—she had never heard anything about that.

"Absolutely not." Nash shook his head, determined and clearly not even bothered to discuss it. "Theheirloom is lo's keepsake, and

| won't give it off to anyone. | know why you're here in the first place, but you can give up because I'llnever give it to you."

Mel's face fell when she saw how determined Nash was, but she forced a smile as she made one lastattempt. "Please, Nash. We

bear no ill will, and my sister has been gone for so long. We have a right to get a cut of what she had,don't you think?"

All her fawning ended up thrown back in her face—even as Nash hacked violently, he bellowed, "Whydon't you search your

conscience, Mel Gunnar?! Is there anything else lo left that | haven't given you already?! Do you thinkyou'd enjoy your current

lifestyle without her fortune?! Would Matis have becwho he is today?! | asked for nothing in return,aside from fulfilling lo's

last wish, but you're still obsessing over it after all these years! Do you even have a heart?!"
