Novel1"Mr. Lawrence...?" Alba's cheek stiffened as he pointed at Frank in disbelief. "He's Frank Lawrence? The one that Father mentioned? Aren't you mistaken?!" "No, sir." The soldiers shook their heads repeatedly, leaving Alba's face falling.
Still, as he glanced at Cara, who was still hollering nearby, his haughty expression soon returned as he snorted coldly. "No. I don't believe this, unless my father personally tellshe is." According to the family tree, Alba would be Frank's uncle.

And now, he was basically turning a blind eye again, demanding Governor Quill to personallye and verify Frank's identity. Everyone there was well aware that Governor Quill only returned to Quill Manor once every year, and telling him toe was basically harassment.
The bottomline was that Alba was simply refusing to acknowledge Frank.
Meanwhile, Alba was still rambling coolly, "Would a member of the Quill family be as uncivilized as he is? Striking an elder?! Even if he is Frank Lawrence and Father's grandson, I will not be lenient! We have rules in this house, and we won't abide with such disrespect!" "That's right! Exactly!" Even as she struggled to her feet, Cara pointed at Frank and yet "Are we supposed to let him do everything he wants?! Slapping an elder?!" en.kikistories "Well..." The soldiers behind Frank were left in a dilemma as Alba and Cara keptplaining.

The soldiers did not argue as Alba name-dropped the acting head of the family.
"Good. Then wait right here!" Shooting a warning glare at Frank, Jean, and Winter, Alba whipped out his phone and headed downstairs, clearly to contact his brother.
Cara, still clutching her cheek, chuckled coolly and sinisterly at Frank just then. "Hmph. Just you wait-once Saul arrives, he will properly discipline you peasants!" en.kikistories SW "Do you want more?" Frank suddenly asked, striding forward.
"You're crazy!" Cara shrieked, even as her face fell and she turned to flee. "Just you wait! I'll show you!" Frank chuckled coolly but did not give chase since he was holding Winter. "Hmph. Can't even pick on someone your own size. Stupid hag."
