NovelOnline"Hmm? So it seems that you've really met Noel York," Sil said quietly from the other end of the call. "It slipped my mind, but she's working with Lanecorp now. But you're saying she's willing to switch sides?" Sil's words left Chet flinching, his heart almost caving.
He finally knew how it felt to be duped.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf Sil had told him about Noel before this, would he have brought the Lionheart martial elites here to attempt capturing Noel, hence leading them straight to a trap? Well, even as rage welled inside Chet, it was too late for regrets now.
While he felt stressed just from lying to Sil earlier, he now felt free and unburdened, since Sil neglected to tell him about Noel.
If only Sil had told him, would they have played straight into Frank's hands?! As Chet found his resolve, his eloquence returned. "Yes, that's what Ms. York toldpersonally. Also..." "What is it?" Sil frowned on the other end.
"But Ms. York said she has a contract with Lanecorp," Chet explained. "If she were to switch sides, she says she needs five billion dollars to pay Lanecorp for the contract severance fee. That's what I'm calling to ask..." While Sil was silent, the woman beside him was exceedingly thrilled.
"Hahaha!" She laughed. "Noel York is actually defecting to our side! It seems that she's realized that she can't depend on Lanecorp now! Sil, you have to take her in—I'll pay however much you need. Let's see her despair when she realizes I'm her boss once she switches sides!" "That will show her for constantly one-upping me... And working with Lanecorp's venture into showbiz?! I refuse to let her succeed!" The woman had no idea that Chet had his phone's loudspeaker turned on, and that Frank and Noel were hearing her rave. In fact, Noel had sprung from the couch, shock showing on her face. "Rory Thames?!" What was Rory doing with Sil Lionheart?! And judging from Rory's words, it was her idea to have the Lionhearts sabotage Lanecorp's venture into showbiz. en.kikistories Frank was sighing in turn. "I didn't think that she would join the Lionhearts." Gene Pearce, the richest man on the East Coast, used to be Rory's patron, having groomed her to success in showbiz.
And yet, she cheated on him with one of Gene's subordinates and tried to kill him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile Gene spared Rory out of sentiment, Rory had now joined the Lionhearts and was in cahoots with Volsung Sect's Sil Lionheart at that.
What was worse, she was not content with joining the Lionhearts, and she was nowing after Frank and Noel.
Frank was certainly aware that Rory hated him for saving Gene-otherwise, Gene would be dead, Rory and her lover would have everything Gene owned for themselves. en kikistories Be that as it may, everything was clear as day now.
So Rory was the one who goaded Sil into sending the saboteurs after Frank's interest.
"Alright." Sil did not hesitate on the other end of the call either and said quietly, "I'll wire five billion dollars to your account right now, Chet. You'd best get Noel to leave Lanecorp soon, and have her meetin Morhen." en.kikistories swn
