Chapter 326
And above all, Kuno had called Eron yesterday, insisting that he wanted the Earthen Dragonheart.
With his daughter’s savior on one end, and her future in–laws on the other, Eron decided to sacrifice Frank since he was just a healer.
He just had to throw him a bit more money, and that was that.
Nonetheless, Frank sprang to his feet right then. “Mr. White, we agreed that I will be given the Earthen Dragonheart for treating your daughter. Are you reneging on that promise?”
Eron frowned, his smile fading as it was clear Frank was not playing along. “Haven’t I told you, Mr. Lawrence? You can have anything aside from the Earthen Dragonheart. And if you don’t want items, I can pay you with money.”
“I don’t want to waste my time with you, Mr. White,” Frank said icily. “I only ask that you bring me the Earthen Dragonheart soon, and stop wasting our time.”
Bang!
Eron slammed his palm on the table, glowering. “How could you so stubbornly demand my family’s treasure? Take my money, and you’ll still be honored as a guest in my house or face the consequences!”
He naturally had the balls to threaten Frank since he had already investigated Frank–without any powerful families backing Frank, he certainly had no issue reneging on their agreement! Frank’s eyes narrowed murderously right then. “You’re probably not aware, Mr. White, but I saved your daughter not only with medicine, but also with martial knowledge.
Eron knew that, however Dan had told him before that if Kim was to be saved, the healer would need both knowledge in martial arts and medicine.
“What, are you going to attack me?” He gloated. “This is my house. You won’t get to leave if I say so!”
Frank absolutely despised anyone who threatened him and directed his vigor even as he clenched his fists!
Before he could move, however, Kim suddenly appeared in the drawing room, asking, “What are you doing, Dad?”
Eron did not expect her to show up now and snapped curtly, “It’s none of your business. Go back to your room.”
Nonetheless, Kim was thoughtful as she observed the tense vibes between both men before asking, “Dad, have you given Mr. Lawrence the Earthen Dragonheart?”
“Why would you ask that?” Eron shot back.
That gave Kim more than a hunch, and she snapped with righteous indignation, “Give Mr. Lawrence the Earthen Dragonheart. He deserves it.”
Eron pursed his lips. “It’s your dowry.”
“So what?” Kim retorted sternly “You had an agreement with Mr. Lawrence before my treatment–how could you renepo
on the deal now? What would everyone in Riverton think of
us if word of this gets out? We’d all become their laughing stock!”
“It’s complicated,” Eron said awkwardly. “The Yaffes want the Earthen Dragonheart too…”
Kim snorted. “Then tell the Yaffes that if they’re annulling my engagement over the Earthen Dragonheart, they can annul it all they want.”
“Don’t joke around like that, Kim!” Eron barked.
Kim remained dead serious. “I’m not joking. Tell them, or I’ll tell Grandfather to do it.”
With those words, she whipped out her phone.
Seeing that, Eron sighed exasperatedly. “Alright, alright! I’ll give it to the bastard, okay?!”
Eron’s father never liked the Yaffes, and it took Eron great lengths to convince him into accepting the engagement.
Naturally, if Kim told Eron’s father, he would be the first to leap into action to get the engagement annulled!
As such, Eron had no choice but to give Frank the Earthen Dragonheart to maintain the engagement and appease his daughter!
