Chapter 324
Seeing his daughter, Eron hurried up to Kim and asked, “How are you feeling, my dear?”
Kim smiled. “Mr. Lawrence was amazing. I feel great–he also wrote me a prescription that I have to just stick with for a week, and I’ll make a full recovery.”
Eron breathed a long sigh of relief. “Oh, that’s wonderful.”
Dan laughed out loud, “Haha! Like I said–she’s going to be fine once Mr. Lawrence helps.”
Eron hurried to Frank at that. “Thank you so much for this, Mr. Lawrence. My daughter is safe thanks to you.”
Not caring for formalities, Frank said bluntly, “It’s nothing, Mr. White. I’m doing it for the Earthen Dragonheart myself. May I ask where you’re staying? I’ll drop by tomorrow to get it.”
“I’m staying at Creek Orchard–it’s one of the properties we own here in Riverton,” Eron quickly said. “I could deliver it to you personally tomorrow if it isn’t urgently required.”
“No, I’ll come over to get it myself,” Frank quickly said. “It’s urgent.”
It was certainly safer to take the Earthen Dragonheart for himself.
Deliver? What if Eron lost it along the way?
Moreover, Frank was wary because Kuno’s actions and words made it clear that he did not want Frank to get the Earthen Dragonheart.
“Very well.” Eron did not elaborate since he was insistent. “We shall excuse ourselves now, Mr. Lawrence. I’ll be awaiting your arrival tomorrow.”
And with that brief small talk, Frank saw them off.
Janu
Jan was hovering around Kim, asking after her and even opening the door for her before getting inside.
Still, Kim paused by the car before turning to look at Frank and got in reluctantly.
Jan was
right beside her and could not have seen it clearer.
He then narrowed his eyes, as he noticed that Kim’s hair was damp.
Did she take a bath at Frank’s house too?!
Still, he withheld his rage as he got in the car, sitting beside Kim and forcing a smile. “Since you don’t know the people or the place here in Riverton, I’ve put together a banquet soon. All my friends are invited–you should come too, and get acquainted with the important people around the region.”
However, Kim was staring outside the window, her thoughts inscrutable as she nodded. “Okay
H
Her halfhearted response left Jan pursing his lips, but he pressed, “How about we go on a stroll for a change of pace?”
Kim shook her head. “No, Mr. Lawrence told me to rest for a while.”
Mr. Lawrence this, Mr. Lawrence that….

Jan could crush Frank’s skull with the spite he felt just then!
As they eventually arrived at Creek Orchard, Jan walked Kim inside before stopping Liv.
“Can I have a moment with you please, Ms. Dawson?” he asked.
Liv appeared perplexed. “Is something the matter, Mr. Yaffe?”
“Oh, it’s no big deal…” Jan chuckled as he walked toward her. “I’d just like to ask if Frank Lawrence took advantage of Kim. You know she’s shy, and she’d never tell me even if she was given grief–that’s why I’m asking you.”
“Take advantage?” Liv scowled. “That’s one way to put it. Not only did he see her naked, but he was even touching her…”
She had no idea what she was saying even as she blurted about everything Frank did. In the end, she could not stand Frank and was convinced that only people from important families like Jan deserved Kim.
