Since the Frankstons were no longer in power, everyone had a lot more time, and with their secretary, the three Frankston brothers immediately began running a covert investigation. What’s more, they even requested Stefan and Mark’s help to cover the south of Aplos.
Alas, despite all their efforts, they simply couldn’t find her in the end…
“This sucks! We can’t find her anywhere in the country!”
“We haven’t found anything abroad either… They couldn’t have just vanished…”
“Calm down. Remember that we’re dealing with a genius here, so it’s normal for her to be hard to locate.”
“That doesn’t change the fact that we need to find them…”
As everyone was moping around, Tiffany suddenly entered the room and said, “Hey, Lamar just told us that Fiona is willing to tell us where the kids are, though… he wants Young Master Burton to be the one to meet her.”
“…Are you sure she’s not just trying to do something funny again?” replied the doubtful Ian.
“People tell the truth when they’re near death… I’ll go,” said Zivon as he strode out of the room and into the night, causing all the Frankstons to sigh. That man truly was something else…
By this time, Fiona had noticed Zivon’s presence, and though she tried her best to sit up, she couldn’t move a muscle. Her tearful eyes were clearly asking for mercy. For him to save her, but Zivon appeared completely indifferent as he said, “Don’t look at me like that. You deserve this.”
Naturally, this irked Fiona. After all, she knew that he was right, but… In the end, she had only done all this because she wanted his love! That wasn’t too much to ask for, right?!
Watching as she glared at him, Zivon simply sneered as he added, “Don’t even try to pin the blame on me. Remember, had you not strayed this far off-path, then you could’ve easily continued living your best life as the Squire family’s heiress. You could’ve gotten a better husband, one who was rich and kind, yet… Because of your actions, your mother is dead, and your father will soon be too.”
“Of course, knowing you, you’ll only ever view yourself as the victim, so I’ll stop wasting my breath and cut straight to the chase. Where did Sophia take my kids, Fiona.”
