"Heh. I told you, didn't I?" Luna was smiling smugly, folding her arms before her chest. "There's no reason to chere at all. Cato's company is perfectly up to standards." She then dispensed with all pretense, turning to Cato and throwing her arms around his neck. "Con, let's go hang out. It's rare forto cto Morhen, and I'd rather not waste ton work. It's boring." "Okay. In that case..." Helen took out the agreement she kept in her briefcase, ready to stamp and sign it.
That was when Frank caught her wrist.

"What are you up to now?!" Luna was bristling since Frank was meddling again, standing akimbo as she snapped, "You just want to mess with us, don't you? Get out of here, if all you want to do is waste our time!" "Mr. Lawrence," Cato growled coolly as he strode over. "This is my company, and these are my employees. We have all the proper legal certification and approvals, but here you are, questioning us. What is this if not deliberate harassment?" Frank shook his head despite their hostile glares and simply stopped a down-to-earth looking employee. Pointing at Cato, he asked the man, "Who is he to you?" "H-He's our boss.? What's wrong?" The man appeared perplexed.
"Oh!" Frank nodded in realization but soon smiled. "And when did he becyour boss?" "What?!" Cato panicked right away at Frank's question and kept shooting looks at the man.
The man stammered. "Yesterday. I mean, two days ago? No, I mean a month ago." It was obvious he was a poor liar and completely let the cat out of the bag.
Frank nodded and allowed him to leave, while giving Cato a meaningful smile. "You were saying that your family was involved in engineering for generations? Don't you think you should explain yourself?" Cato's cheeks stiffened.

However, before he could say a word, Luna had already leapt up, shrieking at Frank furiously, "Are you done, Frank?! It doesn't matter if Cato's esn't matte family is in the business! This is his company, and we can all see that! He's not a bum like you—the way I see it, you're just jealous he owns a company! Don't think you can ruin things for others just because you don't own one!"
Seeing that she was still defending the conman after all that, Frank did not hesitate to shoot her a look of disdain, muttering under his breath, "Idiot."
"What?! Did you just callan I idiot?!" Luna kept screaming like a fishwife. "I'll tell Grandpa, believe it! ΟΠΤ When I do, Helen's candidacy as the next head of the Lane family will be forfeited! You Northstream Lanes have been freeloading off us, so you'd better watch it, or I'll tell Grandpa to chase every last one of you out of my house!" Naturally, her ranting left matters complicated, suddenly involving the family when just a few words could have cleared up the entire mess.
It was simply unbelievable.
"That's enough!" Helen bellowed just then, glaring at Luna even as she left her stunned.
