Chapter 90 Unfriendly Visitors
The seaside villa of Frank was ablaze with lights both inside and outside.
The villa was already empty and it didn't help that Nancy had left too. Despite all the lights that were turned on, the loneliness could not be dispelled.
Frank cooked up a few dishes and had dinner alone.
He didn't know where Nancy had gone but there was no news of her which made him feel even more uneasy.
Since Timothy was back, he couldn't see William too. What kind of life was this?
At the thought of this, Frank hurled his fork across the table in frustration, losing his appetite.
Unable to stand it any longer, he took his phone out and dialed William's number.
"Hello?" William answered calmly.
"William, what are you doing?" Frank asked.
William coughed. "We're about to have dinner. How about you?" "I'm having dinner too."
"Why do you sound unhappy?"
"No, no," Frank denied. He took his lighter out of his pocket—turning it on and off. As he gazed at the flame, he added, "I'm just bored."
"William, dinner is ready! Aunt Amy's done cooking dinner. We're waiting for you!" Mary's voice could be heard from William's end of the line.
"I'm coming." Hearing this, William turned around and answered her.
"Go ahead," Frank urged. "Don't forget your medicine."
"Okay," William said after a pause. "Why don't you turn in early tonight? I'll come see you when I get the time."
"Okay." Frank hung up the phone, casually threw it on the table. Then he picked up a cigarette.
As he lit it up, it was the only sound that could be heard in the nearly vacant room. He inhaled the smoke from the cigarette, eyes partly closed.
Ding dong! Ding dong!
The doorbell suddenly rang.
Who could be visiting him at this hour?
Frank frowned, remaining motionless as the doorbell continued to ring.
Mildly irritated, he stood up in a huff and inhaled one last puff from his cigarette before throwing it out. He shoved his hands in his pockets as he made his way to the door.
Click!
Upon opening the door, he was briefly stunned. Then he sneered.
"Young master."
Five burly men stood outside his door, all dressed in black suits. The minute Frank came out, they respectfully bowed their heads and addressed him, "young master." They were the bodyguards of the Liang Family.
"What's up?" Casually leaning against the door, Frank crossed his arms over his chest and questioned, "Shouldn't you be in Japan with my father? What are you doing here?"
"Yes, young master. Master and madam are in Japan," the leader answered. "But master requested that you go to Japan with us." Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Oh?" Frank raised his eyebrows. "What if I don't want to go?"
"Master gave us strict orders. You need to come with us." The leading bodyguard bowed his head respectfully, neither humble nor pushy.
"What are you going to do? Tie me up?" Frank sneered.
"We're just obeying master's orders."
Frank narrowed his eyes dangerously. An ominous feeling crept up his chest. While he didn't exactly know why his father would want to take him back, he could already tell that there was something malicious going on. If he used force blindly, there was almost no chance of winning.
At the thought of this, Frank shrugged. "Okay, I'll go with you but you have to tell me why. I can't just go with you without knowing why."
"Well..." the leader thought for a while before continuing, "A few days ago, Nancy went to Japan by herself. She found master..."
No wonder he couldn't find Nancy. It seemed that she had found herself a powerful backer.
"I see." Frank put on a light smile. "Then I'll go with you. No need to make things so complicated."
"Then please get in the car, young master." The bodyguard then gestured towards the car.
"No, no," Frank said, waving his hand. "Wait for me out here. I'm just going to get some clothes. " Then he turned around and quickly walked to the kitchen.
He had a feeling that his father was going to take some measures and force him into accepting that child. Frank frowned. He planned to get on the phone to inform William as he figured that he probably wouldn't be able to contact anyone by the time he arrived in Japan.
The bodyguards exchanged glances as Frank disappeared from their sight. Without wasting another moment, they rushed after him.
"Young master, this is an emergency. There's no need to take anything else with you." The leader hastily caught up with Frank and grabbed his right shoulder.
"Let me go!" Frank shouted. He grabbed the bodyguard's hand as he turned around and slapped him across the face.
The leader took a few steps back before he steadied himself. Seeing the anger on Frank's face, he stared back at him. "Young master, I'm sorry for offending you."
Then he waved his right hand and in an instant, they all surrounded Frank.
Frank closed his eyes as if to calm himself down. "Don't touch me. I'm going voluntarily."
"Well, young master, please."
Frank opened his eyes as he slowly let himself be escorted out by the bodyguards.
He turned back and stared at the phone that lay on the kitchen table not far away. He didn't know if he could make it this time. Would William come and rescue him?
With a click, the door to the villa was closed, sending the entire house into darkness.
Frank was led to the black van that was going to take them to the international airport of A City.
Upon arrival, the bodyguards surrounded Frank right away as he got off the car making sure that he had no chance to escape.
They went straight to the boarding gate through the VIP passage. It seemed that he was to ride their private helicopter. His father had obviously planned all of this. Was he afraid that he would run away?
"Young master, this way, please."
"Humph!" Frank snorted, scowling as he got on the helicopter.
He felt so useless. He'd never felt this way before.
As he boarded the helicopter, he closed his eyes, feeling both angry and uncertain about his future.
In the house of the Lan Family in R Town.
After dinner, they sat in the living room and chatted. Mary asked William in a low voice, "Are we in R Town?" "Yes." William nodded.
"Wow!" Mary exclaimed in a low voice. She clenched her fists and chortled. "Yes, yes. I knew it! This is great!"
" " William glanced at her. He opened his
mouth, ready to say something when he heard Timothy's phone ring. For a moment, everyone hushed down.
"Hello?" Timothy answered the phone.
"Ha-ha! How did you find the time to call me?"
"Well, okay, I know. Don't worry."
"Okay, I see. No problem."
It was hard to tell what the phone call was about or who had even called him.
After hanging up, Timothy went about his business and continued to read the newspaper.
