Kat was completely oblivious to the dramatic events that had transpired.

It was the first time she visited the grand abode of one of Morhen's most illustrious families, andshe was excitedly strolling everywhere under the supervision of the family butler.

She was not distracted at all, despite the bolts from the blue, or the shockwave ensuing when Frankand Ciril's fists collided.

She was still jubilant even as she and Frank were heading back. "Once I get rich, I'm definitely livinglike that!"

In contrast, her cottage certainly stung the eye no matter how she looked at it now!

It was not until they almost returned to the cottage when Kat remembered Frank was visiting theJanko Gardens for business. "By the way, weren't you going to treat Ciril Janko's illness? Did itwork?"

Not wanting her to ask for more details, Frank shook his head noncommittally.

"Ah, so it's a dud?" Kat shook her head in disappointment. "I mean, 800 million dollars... Tut, tut!Shame you missed out, huh?”

Naturally, she had no idea that the check Yed wrote was right inside Frank's pocket.

On the other hand, Nash breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that both Frank and Kat returnedsafely. He obviously had questions for Frank but could only scratch his head awkwardly in silence.Frank turned toward him. "Just say what's on your mind."

"Hmph." Kat, however, was immediately in a bad mood when she saw her own father frowning andheaded straight for her room.

And for once, Nash did not lecture her—he simply watched as she left.

Then, after hesitating for a while, he finally began awkwardly, "Mr. Lawrence... See, Kat is still young.I mean, she has just become an adult, and...”

"Huh?" Frank stared at him, perplexed.

"I mean..." Nash remained flustered, unable to replace his words even as he tried to shoot Frank looksthat would make him understand.

However, Frank remained utterly mystified.

"Mr. Lawrence..." Nash eventually gritted his teeth and sighed. "Kat is still too young to get aboyfriend or spend the night outside. So..."

"Oh..."

As Frank nodded in understanding, Nash smiled in relief, but only to stiffen when Frank rubbed hischin and explained politely, "Well, it's normal for kids to start dating young these days, but not toworry—I'll do my best to keep her away from the unseemly sort.”

"Uh..." Nash was left blinking blankly—he was actually worried that Frank was the one who wouldget it on with his daughter!

He was an important guest of the Turnbull family... and it would really be troubling if his daughterand Frank really started dating.

"Well, it's late. I'm going to bed now." Frank nodded, not paying attention to the look on Nash'sface as he returned to his room without a care.

"Urgh..." Nash could only sigh lengthily—Frank had no idea what he was saying at all!

The stars were sparse that night.

Frank was crossing his legs as he lay in bed, reading a book.

Soon, he narrowed his eyes when he heard someone tiptoeing along the second floor hallway.

He put the book away at lightspeed and pretended to sleep, all while praying, "Stay away, stay away,stay away..."

Naturally, it was pointless—his door was unlocked with the right key as a figure sneaked up to hisbed.

Kat breathed a puff of air into Frank's ear.

Frank's brow twitched, but he kept pretending to be asleep, unbudging.

"Eh?" Kat appeared surprised.
