Right after, Jonah's voice sliced in, cold enough to make Franklin flinch.

"You think you can just snap at Lieutenant General Valor's mom like that?" he said, his tone like ice.

Franklin grabbed at his stinging cheek, staring at Jonah in total disbelief.

This was the first time anyone had laid a hand on him since he'd taken over as family head.

Before he could snap out of it, Raven's steady, commanding gaze landed on him.

"So, she said, "what secrets did my mom supposedly take from the Valor family back then? What's this promise you two had? Spill it."

Her laid-back but heavy words sent a chill right down Franklin's spine.

He forced himself to pull it together.

"A few days ago..." he began, his voice wobbly.

Another crisp smack rang out in the room.

Jonah's voice dropped even colder than before.

"Franklin,” he said, "watch your mouth."

By now, Franklin was about to lose it.

But with Jonah's rank and the Yardley family's weight hanging over him, he had to

choke down his shattered pride.

Raven glanced at Franklin again, cool as ever

“So,” she said, “what's this about my mom stealing secrets from the Valor Group?"

After two slaps, Franklin finally got the hint.
