Chapter 324

Chapter 324 The plane landed at the airport of Athana. It was already late at night. There were no dazzling stars in the sky. A black curtain blanketed the entire city.

It was an apt representation of Frank’s gloominess.

He carried the suitcase down with one hand and placed it on the ground. Sherri and Hackett tailed behind him.

“I’ll accompany you to the police station, Hackett told Frank worriedly.

Frank did not seem that worried and was just a little unhappy. He was stoic as he frowned slightly and replied, “There’s no need to. You guys can go back.”

Upon hearing those words, Hackett stopped beating around the bush. He held Sherri’s hand and walked out of the airport, saying. “Let’s go.”

After the two left, Frank stood on the spot and sent a message. He clicked on the profile picture of the lady holding a bouquet of 11 roses and instantly felt much happier. He messaged, “Landed safely. Goodnight”

Just as Frank was about to keep his phone in his pocket, a message came in. The lady was not asleep yet. She replied, “Frank, have you arrived?”

Frank sighed and dropped his luggage. He held his phone with both hands and replied solemnly, “Yes, it’s very late. Why aren’t you sleeping?”

His messenger application indicated that the other party was typing. Frank was patiently waiting for a reply to appear. Within a few moments, a message came in. “I was waiting for you to arrive at Athana. I can’t sleep until you arrive safely.”

No matter how many stars are in the sky, none will shine specifically for you. On the other hand, even though there are girls aplenty, there will always be one who stays up late in anticipation of your safe arrival back home.

Frank stared at the screen for a while and cracked into a subtle smile. He responded, “Little princesses don’t stay up late. Hurry up and sleep”

Ava was not that obedient. She continued, “Are you home yet?”

“Soon Frank replied.

Ava responded, “Then I’ll sleep when you get home.”

Frank might not be returning home today. His next destination was the police station. If he lied, he might be exposed when. Ava asks for a photo of his location.

Frank wrote, “I still have to go to Lithern Club later. I won’t be back so soon. Sleep first. I’m a little busy these days, so I might not see any of your messages.”

Ava was a little puzzled and thought. “Regardless of how busy Frank would be, why would he not be able to see my messages?” However, she still replied, “Okay”

Frank responded, “Sweet Dreams.”

Ava typed, “I will definitely dream about you.”

“Mm.” Frank responded.

Frank put away his phone and walked to the parking lot with his suitcase in one hand. He had driven to the airport previously, and the car was parked in the airport’s car park.

He walked directly toward his car, opened the door, and sat in the driver’s seat. He was no longer smiling.

The phone received a pay-to-park message. After paying the fee, he messaged William, “I’ll handle it myself. Don’t interfere.”

Lithern Club had been open for many years and was always a safe space. No one had ever messed with his club. It was unfortunate such a thing happened when Frank was away in Sapphire City, Frank’s car arrived at the police station. After parking his car, Frank walked into the station with his hands in his pockets.

As Frank had expected, he did not come out that night. He probably would not be able to come out tomorrow too. He had expected it.

Lithern Club had already been closed down. It could only be reopened after the investigations have concluded.

The next night, two men interrogated a woman in a cafe. Their tone was neutral.

The man in the suit was emotionless. He asked calmly, “Lily, the person who consumed drugs was in your private room. ! wonder if you know anything?”

Hackett sat at the side and observed the woman in the Chanel dress. He did not say a word and was no longer his usual sloppy self.

Lily’s dyed curly hair draped over her shoulders, and a few strands of hair lay on her chest. She had light makeup that day, as she usually avoided heavy makeup after work hours. She was also dressed more conservatively. Her fingers, decorated by her long red nails, held onto the white coffee cup as she sneered, “Mr. Wilson, are you suspecting me?”

Without waiting for Trevon to speak, Lily continued, “Mr. Wilson knows very well I will harm anyone but him.”

Lily was referring to Frank. Lily had been having a crush on Frank for many years. Even Lily herself had forgotten when she started admiring Frank.

All she did was accompany him day in and day out. As long as the Lithern Club did not close down, she would always be there to support him, even if it meant for her to be a headliner.

Hackett was taken aback. The expression on his face was more complicated than Lily’s. He turned his head and asked the woman beside him. “Do you like Frank?”

Hackett still could not believe it. Before he registered his marriage, he had frequented Lithern Club every other day. Why did he not notice it at all?

Does Frank know about it?

This was shocking. What would the Little Princess do if she found out? Oh my god, could it be any more chaotic?

Lily admitted graciously, “Yes, it’s been many years. Mr. Wilson knows.”

Trevon was very curious. A few years back, Lily was full of nerves when she became an online sensation for a role she acted in. After not seeing her for a long time, she had no fear. Instead, he felt like he was chatting with someone close. She had no anxiety.

Before boarding the plane. Frank sent Trevon a message, “Check on Lily.”

Three simple words, but Trevon already understood Frank’s intention. At the same time, Jim had brought several people along to ask about the other girls from that night.

Trevon placed one hand on the sofa and asked Lily unhurriedly. “Since you love Frank so much, why don’t you tell me what happened that night?”

Hackett wiped his face and calmed himself down. This news was quite big. He would go back and share it with his wife. Now, he had to observe the changes in Lily’s expression to see if she was telling the truth.

Hackett thought, “If Lily liked Frank for so many years, she would not have done such a thing. After all, Frank had been impacted.”

Lily took a sip of coffee and slowly put the cup down. There was a sense of bitterness arising from her crush on Frank. She said. “On the night of the accident at Lithern Club, a second-generation nouveau riche picked me. I was tired of traveling between groups of men. Men don’t care about my reputation. A man desires to conquer to prove his ability. However, I had no choice. I’m the headliner of the Lithern Club. Even if I don’t want to, I still had to show up.”

Lily’s tone was filled with helplessness, and she swallowed her anger toward Frank. She continued, “After so many years, my alcohol tolerance has also improved. It’s always either white wine, beer, or both. Sometimes, red wine would be added in. That night, when we were drinking, that second-

generation nouveau riche started to consume drugs. I was quite afraid at that time. I didn’t know what was going on. When I felt something was amiss, I called the manager immediately. I didn’t expect the police to come for a surprise inspection. The second-generation nouveau riche was taken away as a result. That’s what happened.”

Lily summarized the incident in a matter-of-fact tone. During the conversation, she even recounted her sacrifices for Frank.

“Are Mr. Wilson and Mr. Roberts back?” Lily asked with a worried expression.

Trevon was expressionless. He said calmly. “They are living life in there now.”

Lily was stunned. She gripped her coffee mug tightly and asked, “When can they be released? If it’s possible, I’ll take the blame.”

Hackett clenched Lily’s face with one hand and stared at her intently. Frank had been lucky with women. Firstly, a headliner had a crush on him.

Secondly, the Little Princess had also confessed to him. However, one’s love was reciprocated while the other was ignored. Sigh, what was the meaning of love?

Frank’s handsome face had brought harm to others.

Trevon crossed his arms and stared at Lily as if he wanted to see through her. After a while, he told Lily, “I’m afraid there’s no chance for you to show your loyalty. Someone insisted that Lithern Club had sold him the drug. I’m afraid the Mr. Roberts you have a crush on won’t be coming out for a while.”

“They’ll be there for at least ten days and up to three years. He’ll be middle-aged when he comes out. It depends on how the police decide to press charges.”

After saying that, Trevon stood up and strode out, ignoring Lily’s expression.

Hackett followed behind and walked out side by side. He asked Trevon, “Have you figured out if she’s a traitor!”

Trevon said firmly. “We’ll see in two days.”

“Two days later? What do you mean?” Hackett asked as he was puzzled.

Trevon could not be bothered with answering Hackett’s question and said casually. “Go home and sleep”

Hackett lamented, “Trevon, don’t you think that Frank and the Little Princess are like star-crossed lovers? They’d only met for a few days before this happened. If Frank went missing for a few days, the Little Princess would be angry again. He could have used another method to resolve the issue and been bailed out. Why did he take the tougher route and drag himself into the matter?”

Trevon was annoyed by Hackett’s words. He frowned and said. “Frank might have wanted to live life in prison. You can think of it that way. If you like, I can send you in to accompany him too.”

Hackett hurriedly said. “I must be crazy to want to be locked up in prison. I have a blissful family consisting of my children and a wife to whom I can be intimate at night. I’m just wondering why Frank has chosen to go through all of this.”

Trevon speculated that Frank wanted to be a model citizen. He had merely followed the procedures. Otherwise, there would be a public backlash if someone with ulterior motives got hold of him.

Trevon stared at Hackett and thought, “Does Hackett think Frank is omnipotent and can find the truth immediately after the accident?”

Trevon was not sure what Frank’s intentions were. However, Trevon understood Frank well.

He wanted to have a clean slate. Perhaps it was because of Ava.

Trevon reminded Hackett, “You can think of it as him doing it for Ava. You can ask him about the details yourself when he comes out.”

Trevon was not 100% sure of Frank’s thoughts. After all, they did not share the same brain. Trevon walked towards the car expressionlessly, opened the door, and stepped in.

As soon as he sat down, he received the results of Jim’s investigation. The meticulous Jim wrote a small essay that aligned with what Lily said. The word “guarantee” flashed through Trevon’s mind.

Hackett had a head full of questions. He stood at the cafe’s entrance and thought, “Why did Trevon say that the truth will be revealed in two days?

Could it be that Frank knew the problem and was trying to bait the mastermind?”

The two-day period mentioned by Trevon had made Hackett curious.
