S31 45. The Risk

While Ava turned to face her, Melanie blinked dryly. “Haven’t you apologized to me eleven times?”

Ava frowned on one side of her face, “I don’t think that’s enough.”

“I think,” Finnic interrupted, “I should apologize to you too, Mrs. Harris. Sophia was able to act like that because of me.”

Pressing her mouth with her chin, Melanie shook her head stiffly. She wasn’t used to hearing such a sincere apology.

“It’s okay. I have forgiven everyone, except Sophia. Because even until the last second, she still didn’t admit she was guilty.”

Frank secretly glanced at Jeremy. His eyebrows rose in resignation. Melanie’s arrogant nature seemed impossible to get rid of, even though she had tried hard to change it.

“So,” Frank broke the awkwardness, we separate here?”

Finnic raised an eyebrow. The curve of his lips was slanted. “Yes I have to go to the police station. After all, her status is still my

But there is one more thing I have to tell you, Frank.”

Frank’s eyebrows pressed together. “What is it?”

“Be careful with my parents-in-laws. They may seem friendly at ou wedding, but once they become hostile to someone.” Finnic cut himself off, taking a deep breath.

“Yeah, I know. Thanks for reminding me.” Frank smiled. Deep inside,

he was nervous.

Frank actually had one more mission. However, he was not sure whether it could erase the Moore family’s annoyance or make them

even more offended.

A moment later, Finnic had gone, but his words still burned into Frank’s mind. Melanie realized that.

“Frank, is everything okay?”

Frank blinked. “Yes, of course. I’m just calculating the risks. Who knows, there may be other ways to minimize the impact. I don’t want

to be careless.”

While smiling, Frank looked around. “Now that our mission here is complete, let’s go home. You’re okay, right? Should we stop by the hospital first?” He touched Melanie’s arm.

Melanie checked herself. “I think I’m healthy.”

Ava nodded too. “Yes, Mrs. Harris is fine. She is improving very quickly.”

Frank smiled in relief. “Thank you for helping my mother recover.”

“As I said, I was the one who gave Mrs. Harris the medicine. I have to take responsibility.” Ava grimaced at the end.

Frank nodded. Without wasting any more time, he led the way ou Sophia’s house.

When they arrived at the front porch, the police car was no longer there. However, the situation was still chaotic. The servants were busy waking up Sophia’s guards, while Harper’s guards were waiting by the side of their cars. The truck driver looked confused.

“Sir, what actually happened? Why did those people faint as soon as they lifted the goods from my truck?”

Frank put his hand on the driver’s shoulder. His expression was calm. “There’s nothing serious, Sir. We just put anesthetic spray in the truck. The dose was safe. Those people just fell asleep for a while. I just

didn’t want them to interfere with my mission.”

The old man rubbed his forehead slowly. “So, what do I need to do with my truck now?”

“As per the initial agreement. Let’s take the items back to my house.”

“How am I going to unload that stuff later? Does my truck need to be cleaned?”

Frank shook his head slowly. “No. The anesthetic evaporates easily.

It would have been blown away by the wind.”

The driver took a deep breath. “Thank goodness. Then, shall we leave now, Sir? My wife must be worried because I haven’t come home yet.”

Frank nodded. Then, he ordered several bodyguards to help the driver close the truck door and move Sophia’s people who were blocking the

road.

“Why did you hire that frail looking old man, Frank?” Melanie

muttered, watching the driver’s movements with knitted eyebrows.

Frank smiled. “Because he looks the most honest and innocent.

Nowadays, we have to avoid cunning people.”

While Melanie was pensive, Frank grabbed her arm. “Let’s get in car. I’ll take you to Jeremy’s house.”

Melanie spontaneously held back. “Why don’t you just set up a rehabilitation room at your house?”

Frank blinked dryly. “To avoid Sophia’s suspicion. She keeps monitoring our house, but not Jeremy’s house.”

“But Vivian is there,” Melanie whispered as she glanced at Jeremy.

Frank’s mouth suddenly rounded. He now understood why his mother objected.

“About that, you don’t need to worry, Mom. Mrs. Bell doesn’t mind taking you in.”

“I’m the one who objects.” Melanie sighed in annoyance.

Afraid that his mother’s depression would recur, Frank quickly faked a laugh, hoping the tension would dissipate.

“I forgot to tell you. She is out of town on business. She’s not at home.” He made eyes at Jeremy.

“Is it true?” Melanie glanced suspiciously.

“Yes, Mom. You can see for yourself if you don’t believe it. Now get in the car.”

Melanie looked confused. However, her feet obeyed. As soon as Frank closed the car door for her, Jeremy’s snort caught his ear.

“Your lies are really bad. How could my mother be out of town at the end of the year?”

Frank shrugged. “Luckily my mother forgot the date,” he muttered. Can you call your mother and ask her to hide in her room? She doesn’t need to come out to greet us.”

“That’s easy. But I don’t think you need to escort your mother, Fran She’s safe with me. You just go home. Kara and the twins must b waiting.”

“But,” Frank quirked an eyebrow, “what if my mother suddenly goes berserk?”

“Mrs. Harris no longer has tantrums, Sir. Her condition is much more stable,” Ava nodded reassuringly.

Seeing Frank’s brows were still furrowed, Jeremy patted his shoulder. “Relax. Ava is with us. She knows what to do if your mother gets worse. You just go home.”

Ava’s head went up and down again. However, this time, her movements were hesitant. “But before that, may I see my mother first, Sir? I want to make sure she is okay.”

Jeremy’s eyes widened. He had just used the nurse as an excuse to send Frank home. However, why did the girl oppose his statement?

“Your mother is on her way. You still have time to come to my house and look after Mrs. Harris. After she falls asleep, I can take you to the hospital.”

Ava’s withered eyes flickered. “You don’t mind taking me to the hospital?”

As Jeremy nodded, Frank was secretly moved. He knew his older brother was worried about him.

“Thank you, Jer. Sorry I always bother you.”

Jeremy shrugged. “It doesn’t matter.”

Smiling, Frank patted his shoulder. “Well then, be nice to Ava. I need her to take care of my mother.”

Jeremy almost snorted. He understood another meaning hidden behind those words. After pulling Frank close, he grumbled, “She my type either.”

Frank smiled faintly. “You don’t know her yet. Don’t jump to

conclusions.”

After saying goodbye, Frank got into his car. In an instant,

awkwardness froze Jeremy and Ava. From the start, the two people did not get along. It was Jeremy who arrested Ava when her evil deeds were first revealed.

“I’ll get into the car first, Sir.” Ava nodded then circled the car.

One of Jeremy’s eyebrows rose slightly. “If you want to come in, just

come in. Why tell me?” he grumbled before taking the front passenger

seat.

Unknown to them, from the second floor of Sophia’s house, a man was trying to contact someone. However, after several attempts, he finally gave up.

“Are they still on the plane?” he muttered as he opened the aviation website. “When they arrive, they will definitely be furious.”
