The slap sent Eden’s head snapping to the side, a clear sign of Frank's immense fury.
“Dad, I was set up. That woman bribed a servant and drugged my drink…”
Before Eden could finish his explanation, Frank cut him off, shouting, “Why did they only set you up and not anyone else? It’s because you can’t control what's in your pants!”
“I—!” Eden was speechless.
He knew Mignon’s target was Bennett, but he had no proof. He still hadn't figured out how Mignon ended up in his bed. If he dared to drag Frank’s precious favorite son into this now, it would only make Frank angrier.
“I… I know I was wrong, Dad.”
“Frank, since the boy knows he was wrong, you should calm down,” Dana chimed in at the right moment, playing the peacemaker. “What’s done is done, yelling at him won’t help. We should focus on how to solve this. The Thompson family has a reputation to uphold in Istra; we can’t afford to lose face.”
Frank wearily sank back into the main sofa and turned to his assistant behind him. “Write him a check for fifty million. Get rid of that Powell mother-daughter duo. Tell them to leave the country immediately and never come back.”
“Yes, Mr. Thompson.” The assistant nodded, then walked over to Eden and said politely, “Mr. Monroe, please come with me.”
Eden followed the assistant out, and the matter was finally considered closed.
Seeing this, Dana promptly stood up.
“Frank, since it’s settled, we’ll be heading back now.” With that, she led her son and daughter-in-law out.
The three of them walked unhurriedly toward the door, Karina unable to resist mocking the situation as they went.
