"Chet Jonas has been blackmailing me plenty lately."

As Urian continued, his cool smile turned into a look of exasperation. "I'd have my men gut him already if he wasn't connected to the Lionhearts!" "I see."

Frank nodded but soon remembered something else. "And you said the button was manufactured here?"

"Y-Yes?'

Urian did a double take, confused just then.

Why were Frank and Noel not panicking after he told them about the imminent threat they faced, even staying ever so calm?

Still, he urged, "Don't worry about the button now-you don't have time. Chet will soon be back with his men, and you won't make it out when they do."

After all, he wanted Noel to escape and pay him the other five million dollar check! Who would he get money from if Chet captured her?

That was why Urian was the most worried here.

"Hehe. Well, everything is clear now that we've got that fact straight."

Frank turned to smile at Noel before striding up to Urian, pointing at himself with a grin. "Allow me to introduce myself, Mr. Reno. I'm Frank Lawrence, the current head of Lanecorp's health and safety department." "Oh, I see, I see, Frank Lawrence of Laneocorp! Now's really not the time for introductions, sir! I—"

Urian suddenly stopped, as he froze up despite his anxiety, his mouth hanging open but speechless.

As he turned and saw Frank smiling at him ear-to-ear, he seemed to turn as stiff as stone. "Y-You said you were..."

"Yes, I am Frank Lawrence."

Frank beamed, even clapping Urian on the shoulder in approval. "And you might not know me, Mr. Reno, but you should understand what I'm getting at now, if I tell you that Ms. York is now affiliated with Lanecorp." "You're... She's... Lanecorp?! What?!"

Uriran stared at Noel's face in disbelief even as he realized what was happening.

So it was all an act?!

All those things Noel said-liking that button, wanting clothes made in his factory... it was all just bait?!

"Mr. Reno..."

Noel's smile was as gentle as it was beautiful, but Urian no longer had any fantasies at this point.

That was the smile which deceived him! How could she lie so naturally?!

Oh wait, she was the nation's top actress!

It was only then that Urian truly realized what had happened and almost hammered his own chest to kill himself.

It was truly over-he did not expect these two to be working for Lanecorp! And he just spilled all the beans!

"Word of advice, you should see the light and reveal the entire conspiracy." Noel continued smiling, whipping out the recorder from her pocket as she narrowed her eyes. "That, or I will let Mr. Jonas listen to everything you just said. If he replaces out that you were going to backstab him, hehe..."

Suddenly, Urian no longer found paradise in Noel's smile, only a fiery hell.
