I go back to Virginia with Frances the next day.
Steven calls and tells me that Mangalore had already asked Nicole Snow over to draw again and talk
about her design inspiration.
To be honest, I don’t hold much hope. Nicole is not an untalented person. It is not difficult for her to do
this. Stealing my drawings is perhaps only for revenge.
I can't go to the company, and I am too afraid to draw at home. All I can do is to sleep in the room.
The strange thing is that Frances hasn't been to work in the past two days. And I don’t know what he
does in the room every day.
I can only see him at breakfast, lunch and dinner. After all, he is taking me out to eat.
On this day, when I come back from dinner, the car almost runs into two people as soon as it drives into
the villa area.
I quickly get out of the car when I see their faces.
I should have seen that coming.
“Dad, mom, what are you doing? Are you trying to get yourselves killed?”
Mom and dad stop in front of the car, looking awe-inspiring.
“My son is dead. What am I going to live for!" Mom wipes her tears, looking stubborn.
Sure enough, they are here because of Frank Noyes.
“He is in jail, not dead!” I shout.
“You unfilial daughter, he is your brother! He hasn't had any hardship since he was a child. Putting him
in jail is like killing him!”
Mom rushes over, pulls my hair and throws me to the ground.
I sit on the ground numbly, listening to my mother yelling at me.
“How did I raise a daughter like you? You only care about yourself, and never cared about our family!
When I was hospitalized, you didn't even ask about it. I would’ve strangled you to death if I knew you
were an ungrateful soul!”
Each word breaks my heart.
What am I to her? It's not that I don't love my parents, but they hurt me over and over again so that I
don't even have the courage to get close to them.
All the beautiful illusions at the beginning are shattered, and I cannot even find the meaning of life.
I used to be a cheerful lively person, but in the end, my heart was pierced by life.
Frances gets out of the car and looks at everything indifferently.
As soon as they see him, they immediately rush over and kneel in front of him.
“Mr. Louis, please let my son go. I will demand Frank to be your loyal server!” Mom says while she
cries.
I couldn't even laugh, burst in to tears right away. The two old people in front of me look like strangers.
“He broke the law, and I can't help.” Frances says impatiently.
“I don't believe it. You have such great power so there must be a way. If you don't save him, my
husband and I commit suicide in front of you!” Seeing that the plea doesn’t work, mom starts
threatening.
“I don’t care.”
Frances says without blinking.
Mom doesn't know what to do, so she can only put her hope on me again.
“Help me beg Mr. Louis to save your brother.”
I sneer.
Why would Frances listen to me? She thinks too highly of me.
Besides, I really don't want to step in their affairs.
Frances ignores them and walks towards me, pulls me up from the ground, and lightly pats the dust off
me.
I don't know if it is my illusion that I feel the way he looks at me is gentle.
But when he looks at my parents, his eyes instantly turn cold.
“If you two don't leave within one minute, Frank will not just be in jail for a few years. You have also
said that I am a man with great power.”
My parents look at each other, then look at me bitterly, and finally leave unwillingly.
Frances takes me inside. From a distance, I see Whitney Jordan standing at the door.
The blood in my whole body immediately coagulated.
