Noel was left stunned by Frank's suggestion, since she never thought that Frank had the confidenceto square off against the Soranos.

What was more, he was already an enemy of the Lionhearts!

Frank, however, paid her stare no attention as he continued planning. "So, I'll be building abiological preserve in the outskirts of Riverton, which can double as a film set with a star actress likeyou endorsing it. I'll also put money into making a film with you, some of which you could film atmy resort. You could be doing stuff like tending to the farm and the like—stuff to make you appearno different from the common man. It's a lot of work, but we'd be drawing in tour groups andtourists with more humble circumstances..."

Frank's mind went into overdrive as he elaborated on all the ideas he had.

Noel's eyes lit up in turn, and when Frank was done, she had to admit that he had business acumenA humble farm resort, combined with Draconia’s top star actress, somehow did not appear to be abad idea.

Still, Noel pointed out an issue. "Mr. Lawrence... Are you really going to fight against the Soranos formy sake?"

She was wondering if Frank was no different from the Soranos and wanted her body too!

"For your sake?" Frank appeared puzzled but soon chuckled. "I'm sure you misunderstood, Ms. York—helping you and having you endorse my resort farm are two sides of the same coin, and said coinis going to be beneficial in every way. That's why I asked to see you in the first place, see?”

Frank's smile left Noel freezing, and a curious sensation welled up within her.

She stared blankly at Frank for a long while, not even noticing that she was doing it until Burt calledout to her.

She blushed as she came to her senses, while Burt patted his chest audibly. "Since Brother Lawrenceis set on helping you, you can hand over the recording to me. Don't worry—the Soranos won't beable to acquire Lycoris Entertainment as long as I'm around.”

However, Noel's brain was already mush, and she handed him her recorder without thinking.

Still, worry showed on her face after Burt left, and she asked Frank under her breath, "Mr.Lawrence... Who actually is that officer?”

"Oh, him?" Frank chuckled. "People have always called him the top inspector of Riverton. Don'tworry—he's capable of handling this much.”

"What? The top inspector?!" Noel exclaimed in shock.

How many other bigwigs like Burt was Frank was acquainted with if he knew even the topinspector?

And given the way Burt spoke around Frank... It was clear that Burt regarded Frank's orders like asubordinate.

"Oh, it's really no big deal. Don't worry, Ms. York—no one will dare threaten you now," Frank smiled,and thought of a new title for Noel. "You will now work for Lane Holdings as the head of the LaneEntertainment division.”

With the business out of the way, Frank and Noel continued drinking away happily.

She had already thought highly of Frank when she endorsed Grande Pharma, and now, she wasfurther impressed.

She actually felt a tingling emotion she never felt toward anyone before... to the point that whenshe got tipsy, she happily accepted Frank's offer to drive her home.
