"No rush.” Frank rubbed his chin as he continued, "If it's deer musk, it'd be mixed with water, no?""Nothing you said was right!" Kendra lost all patience and strode up at Frank, pointing at him as shesnapped, "Get out of here and stop wasting our time!"

"Why don't you just give up already?" Titus Lionheart added gleefully.

"That's right—you should leave,” Glen agreed, posturing himself as head of the Turnbulls. "We won'tstop you, but you don't get to mention Vicky ever again or set foot in our house, you hear?"

Frank narrowed his eyes but eventually nodded. "I have an idea of what Mr. Turnbull has beeninfected with. The symptoms started a week ago, catalyzed by deer musk which he consumedfrequently, and not in solid form..."

Taking out the needles he always carried with him, he looked around at everyone and said, "I willnow perform acupuncture. If the information you've given me is right, Mr. Turnbull will wake upsoon.”

"Stop it!" Glen snapped, frowning. "Don't bother forcing yourself. Let Professor Roberts work—you're not leaving this house if you worsen my father's condition!”

"Exactly!" Kendra spat. "I won't let you hurt my husband! Glen, call in your men. Get him out ofhere!"

"Wait!" Titus stopped them just as the bodyguards entered.

While he was defending Frank, he certainly did not want Frank to win, just as he did not feel anypressure to save George.

If anything, his top priority was to see Frank fail, yield, and fall to despondence.

That was why he was standing up for Frank—just to make him fail and be humiliated even morespectacularly.

"Just look at how confident Mr. Lawrence is," he told Glen. "Why don't we trust him one last time?Don't worry—my men are waiting right outside. We will take him down if he dares to hurt yourfather!"

"Moreover..." He paused, turning toward Professor Roberts. "Whatever he does, Professor Robertswill be able to clean things up. There won't be any problems, don't worry!"

Titus' suggestions left Glen in a dilemma.

But Titus was right—Professor Roberts was there to keep things under control.

Moreover, Frank would be discontented if they chased him away right now and would use theexcuse of not being given a chance. And no matter what he did, he would never dare step out ofline when they had numbers.

As such, reasonably speaking, his father was more or less safe.

After musing to himself for a while, Glen nodded and turned toward Frank. "I'm giving you one lastchance because Titus asked."

Kendra immediately snapped, "Glen! It's obvious he's not an upstanding man. Are you sure—""Don't worry—Dad will be fine with Professor Roberts,” Glen assured her. "We can handle anythingthat happens.”
