"Huh?" | was puzzled, "Waiting forto finish work?"
What the hell is he up to now?
"I had a friend dropoff just now. | don't have a car." As he spoke, he extended his wrist towardsto show
the time. "You're about to finish work soon. Can you givea lift?" "I'll call a taxi for you."
| took out my phone, but he frowned and said softly, "I never travel in taxis."
'Alright then. It's only natural for a prince to have a prince's airs."
| had nothing to say. "Then you can wait here."
Iturned and went back into my office. It wasn't long before Jane cover.
She gavea knowing look, "Why is that prince from the Smith family staying here and not leaving?"
"Waiting for a lift," | replied helplessly.
Jane sat in the chair opposite me, resting her elbows on the desk and supporting her face with her hands.
"| just saw that the mother and daughter seem to be quite afraid of him. Maybe you should try to improve your
relationship with him? If something happens, he could help you out."

"Forget it." | rejected the idea without hesitation. "Do you think he's someone you can just use?"
He might appear cynical, but he had a clear head. No one could use him.
Jane shook her index finger. "No, no, no. We're not trying to use him. It's a matter of mutual sincerity..."
"Get back to work."
| took a piece of cake that had been eaten at lunch and stuffed it in her mouth. "If it's intentional, it's not called
sincerity."
One might deceive others, but one couldn't deceive Frank.

"Okay!" Jane chewed the cake and mumbled an agreement, getting up to leave. Halfway to the door, she turned
around and cback to my desk. "Didn't you say you had sdeal with Bethany? Why is she still okay
today?"
"I'll check on that later."
| had almost forgotten about this matter after being bust during the past few days. But that didn't mean | would
let it go. When there were ready-made opportunities, it was a waste not to use them. Once | finished my work
and looked up, it was already dark outside.
Outside the French windows, Frank was still absorbed in his phone, showing no signs of impatience.
He didn't seem like someone with a bad temper.
| packed up my things and went outside. "Let's go."
He yawned and, with dwindling patience and complained, "So slow. With your work efficiency, two clients would
keep you busy for a year."
It seemed that | had praised his good temper too soon.
| couldn't be bothered to explain.
Once downstairs, he casually got into the passenger seat as if he were the owner of
the car.
| started the car. Once we merged into traffic, | found a chance to speak. "Zack agreed to something for me. Can
you check with him on how it's going?"
His fingers drummed idly on the car window as he pointedly asked, "Teaching Bethany a lesson? Aren't afraid
that she'll get revenge?"
| had planned to keep it from him, but he already knew.

It was very possible that he has already intervened in the matter.
| tightened my grip on the steering wheel and said coldly, "Are you now trying to defend your little sister by
preemptively teachinga lesson?"
"Are you a hedgehog?" He gavea cold glance. "You prick anyone you cin contact with."
| was momentarily stunned.

His family and the Shaw family were old friends, and his lost little fiancée was also a member of the Shaw family.
In every way, the Shaw family was closer to him than to me.
| hesitated. "So you..."
Before | could finish my sentence, Mrs. Shaw's call suddenly cin!
On the other end of the line, her voice was uncontrolled with anger. "Charlotte, did you have someone hurt my
Bethany? How can you be so ruthless? She's just a girl, and she's been left with injuries all over! How could you
do this?"
