    "Megan!"


    Governor Quill cried at his granddaughter, holding her shoulders as he demanded, "Be honest with me-did Frank poison you?!"


    "What?! It has nothing to do with him, and..."


    Megan was left stumped by her grandfather''s question.


    She gulped, flustered even as she answered, "No, he did his best to reason with me so that I wouldn''t get infected, but I ignored him and ended up the way I did. Look, I know he''s weird, or maybe unlikeable, but he''s a good man."


    Even Megan herself had no idea why she was praising Frank out of nowhere, though it could well be because Frank saved her life.


    "And then there''s Uncle Saul..."


    Megan then breathed a long sigh. "Mom just told me that he did not just stop Frank from curing me, but he even attacked Dad, breaking his arms... It was Frank who came back and defeated him before curing me and saving my life."


    Governor Quill''s visage was thoroughly dark just then.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    However, he and Megan''s conversation were only audible between themselves, and none of the other Quills could hear them.


    In fact, Rex was still feeling triumphant.


    He was rxed despite seeing his grandfather pulling Megan to himself, presuming that Megan would have been told not to b beforehand. He therefore did not expect Governor Quill to suddenly train a furious re at him.


    "What?!"


    Rex was left dumbstruck when he saw the murderous re and turned toward Megan in disbelief.


    Did that bitch just spill the beans?!


    "Rex Quill!"


    A monumental pressure crashed down from above at Governor Quill''s bellow.


    Even before Rex could react, his kneecaps buckled audibly, and he was instantly on his knees.


    "G-Grandfather...?" Rex murmured,pletely confused-what could Megan have said to direct Governor Quill''s rage on him?!


    "How dare you!"


    There was another bellow from Governor Quill, and Rex was hanging his head, sweat dripping all over his face.


    Even so, he kept trying to push his luck. "W-What''s wrong, Grandfather?!"


    "Sir, why are you angry with Rex?"


    On the other hand, Cara York rushed to her son''s side, kneeling beside him. "Rex is a hero who exposed


    that heinous bastard''s lies! en.kikistortent


    "Hero?! Heinous bastard?!"


    Governor Quillughed icily. "The way I see it, there''s no hero here... and the heinous bastard is actually someone else?!" "What are you saying, Father?!"


    Even Saul was scrambling to push himself off his stretcher, his face falling but still feigning confusion. "Are you saying that we had a misunderstanding with Frank Lawrence?!"


    While he spoke, he was ncing awkwardly at Megan too...


    "Misunderstanding, you say?! So you''re going to keep pretending?!"


    Governor Quill growled, "Did you


    think that I''ve gone so senile that et


    wouldn''t understand a thing?! That you could all just lead me by the nose?!"


    Every member of the Quill family traded nces at his words, and the faint-hearted ones were immediately on their knees, trembling!
