In the entire banquet hall, Frank was the only one who did not seem to care.
And considering what Frank had told him in the men's room earlier, Corey could not stop himself from
intervening.
"Oh, he actually showed some spine." Frank was laughing in his head.
Despite being busy eating, he was actually paying attention to Vicky's situation.
In fact, he had already projected his pure vigor around Vicky with Five-Peat Archaeus. If Hubert's
bodyguards had touched her earlier, things would have gone very badly for them.
If anything, Frank would be embarrassing himself if he did nothing after Vicky announced to everyone
that he was her personal bodyguard.
Naturally, Corey was far from reaching Birthright rank and would never know what Frank did. Instead,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthe simply presumed that Frank was absolutely terrified of Hubert and kept eating to hide his panic.
While Corey was himself afraid of Hubert's family connections too, he should show more strength and
a sense of responsibility around Vicky now that things had come to this.
Bracing himself as he wheels on Hubert, he growled, "Mr. Sorano, I'm Corey Wallace. If you refuse Ms.
Turnbull and insist on taking Kiki away, I suggest you send your people to discuss the matter with the
Turnbulls instead of getting violent or you'd be disturbing the peace between your families."
"Oh... you really can talk out of your ass, huh?!" Hubert was gnashing his teeth even as he pointed at
Corey and snapped, "Who the hell do you think you are, telling me what to do?! What I say goes, and
that is all there is to it! Get out of here or I'll kill you!"
Seeing that Hubert was not backing down at all, Corey was all too aware that his own family
connections were nothing compared to the Soranos'.
However, he was not about to embarrass himself in front of the love of his life and certainly not lose to
Frank—he would show Frank what a true man was!
Stepping forward, Corey said coolly, "Ms. Turnbull is Titus Lionheart's fiance, so you'd better calm
down, Mr. Sorano. There's always a better way."
At this point, he had to name-drop the Lionhearts to remain immune despite challenging a Sorano
since he was helping Titus.
"Titus Lionheart." Wariness obviously showed in Hubert's eyes, but he was soon sneering. "Did you
really think I'd be scared of the Lionhearts? Go and kill anyone who gets in my way!"
Hearing Hubert, Ivana and the others promptly fled the table, huddling in a corner in fear that they
would get dragged into it.
Only Frank stayed at the table, leisurely continuing to eat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Hey... Frank Lawrence, was it? Get over here already, or you'd get hurt!" Ivana warned out of
kindness.
Frank simply pretended not to hear her and kept eating without a care.
"Since you have to be so unreasonable, I guess I must stand my ground for Mr. Lionheart's sake!"
Watching as Hubert's bodyguards charged at him, Corey moved—first dodging a bodyguard punch and
kicking him toward Frank's table.
Even as the bodyguard felt the pain in his stomach and stumbled, thinking he was going to crash into
the table, his vision suddenly blurred.
When he came to his senses, he was sitting on one of the chairs around the table.
"Huh?" The bodyguard then turned to find the man eating at his leisure.
Then, the man said quietly, "The food here is all expensive. It'd be a shame if you crash into the table
and knock everything over. Oh, and could you please pass the salt?"
Frank pointed at the shaker near the bodyguard just then.
