Stella sighed. "Everything I do is for the family's survival-"

"Survival?!"

Chelly laughed.

It was clear she was short-tempered too, as she suddenly lunged at Frank, bellowing, "Let's see if he can even size up to Jaden!"

Even as Chelly extended her hand as she jumped at Frank, Frank simply stood his ground, his eyes turning cool.

Despite all her hollering, she was just a vigor wielder-if she insisted on attacking Frank, the recoil would cripple her on the spot.

"Stop!" Stella snapped angrily as she strode between Chelly and Frank. "Stop listening to your aunt's poisonous words. You shouldn't be attacking Mr. Lawrence!" "Mr. Lawrence?!"

Chelly could tell from the title alone how much respect her sister had for Frank, and her rage flared as she swung her palm at her own sister instead. Pow!

Stella stumbled a couple steps backward as she took the blow for Frank.

"Oh, taking the blow for our enemy? Let's see how you'll explain that to your father, Stella." Tara gloated.

"Shut up!" Stella glared at her before turning to her sister with a look of disappointment. "Calm down, Chelly!" "You're telling me to calm down after you took my blow for our enemy?!" Chelly bellowed back.

"Hmph..."

Frank snorted in annoyance of the three women's squabbling. "Your arm would be broken if not for your sister."

Chelly pointed at Frank and snapped right then, "Shut up, cheater!"

"Cheater?"

Frank laughed despite himself. "Well, this mansion is still this cheater's turf, and not the Favonis', so take this someplace else!" Turning toward Blackie, he barked, "Get them out of here!"

Blackie hurried toward them, gesturing at the door. "If you'd please, ladies."

"What?!" Chelly reared her chin fearlessly at Frank. "Getting upset because I called you a cheater? What, are we wrong?!"

"Chelly!"

Stella paled as Chelly was ready to stand her ground and keep snapping Frank-getting Frank upset was no joke, as he was not that much of a gentleman! However, even as Stella tried to drag her sister away, Chelly refused to leave, glaring definitely at Frank in the eyes.

She was bent on showing him the strength of the Favonis, unlike her weak sister.

But while she thought she was showing strength, she was just being tactless in Frank's eyes.

"Heh..."

Frank chuckled darkly, raising a hand, ready to straighten Chelly out.

Blackie was trembling even as he watched!

"Frank? Are you having a fight?"

Just then, Winter poked her head out of the study to look down the hallway.

Seeing her, Frank's killing intent vaporized instantly, since he did not want to hit a woman while Winter was watching.
