Chapter 1848
Not even Saul could have anticipated that his ambition might be threatened by some nephew who appeared out of nowhere.
And being the eldest son, he had to watch as his own father showered said nephew with praise, even suggesting that he would let the kid inherit his office.
At that point, Saul was not going to take this lying down.
That was why he and the younger generation of the family were all busy sending out their people to find out more about Frank over the last few days.
It was therefore shocking that Frank came on his own, even striking Cara in public.
That was certainly the perfect excuse for Saul to eliminate Frank as a threat, but Frank's words had now caught him off guard.
"Brat..."
Saul frowned, wondering the same thing Jean and Winter did.
Was Frank really not interested in the Quill family's wealth and influence?

As such, it did not matter what Frank said, because none of it mattered and must be never taken seriously! While Saul believed that he had instantly read through Frank's intentions, he was really just being paranoid. Frank did not care, let alone intend to stay in touch with the Quill family.
In fact, he would have left with Winter and Jean, if not for the respect he had for his grandfather, Governor Quill.
He really never cared for his riches or authority, or anything else he had only just met him days ago.
