Chapter 745 Noel did not remain in her mansion, since she was afraid that the Soranos would turn back.
While she intended to stay at a hotel, Frank was worried about her safety.
After some thought, he invited her to stay at his hilltop mansion in Skywater Bay until things blew over.
He certainly did not want anything like today happening to Noel again, since she was a partner for his farm resort project, which was close to opening.
And it had certainly been a close call— if Frank did not make it in time, Willy would have had his way with Noel.

not hesitating to accept his offer despite feeling a little awkward about bawling earlier.
She could even say that she was looking forward to it, since Frank was now the image of a perfect boyfriend.
She would have no qualms about leaving herself in his care...
It was very late by the time they reached Skywater Bay, and Frank gave a few instructions before assigning Noel to a room.
She was visibly disappointed as Frank headed to another room, though his gentlemanly attitude improved her impression of him further.
While Frank woke up feeling refreshed
the next morning, he quickly heard Noel gasping in pain repeatedly in her room. < "What?!" Frank was puzzled—he had been spending last night training, but he was also wary of the mansion's surroundings.
No one could have sneaked into Noel's room past his watchful eyes...
"Maybe she was hurt last night?" he mused to himself, frowning as he headed to Noel's room and knocked on the door. "Ms. York? Are you alright? 1 can hear you from outside..." "1-1'm fine!" she cried, but soon sighed. "I don't think I can shoot your promotional video now, Mr.
Lawrence." "What? Why?" Frank did a double take.
He went through all that effort so that Noel could stay and promote his farm resort... was that not all for nothing if she refused now? Seemingly sensing Frank's disappointment, Noel hesitated fora moment and sighed. ""Mr. Lawrence, it's just... Willy Sorano's men forced me to take a bath last night. I struggled, so they gave me a bruising. I don't think I look good in front of the cameras now." So that was all? Frank breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Noel was in a bad mood—he could not force her against her will if she did not want to work.

chuckled. "Just leave it to me, Ms. York.
Have you forgotten what my main profession is?" - "Main profession... Oh!" Noel realized with a start and leapt off the bed as she opened the door.
She was wearing a white shirt she got from somewhere, and her hair was wet, clearly having just taken a bath.
Lifting her fair long legs beneath the shirt, she asked, ""Mr. Lawrence, can you help me with the bruising?" "Ahem..." Frank almost choked on his own spit—Noel was in such a hurry she bared her feet directly in front of him so vulnerably.
Coughing as he caught his breath, he was also in awe of the star actress’
extreme standard for appearances. The bruises were just thumb-sized, but she was already reluctant to appear before a camera.
