"Young lord, are you really going to let them go so easily?" the scarred man asked in confusion.
"Yes." Corbett nodded.
The scarred man frowned at his answer. 'The young lord had tried his best to keep Frank here. Why did he suddenly let him go? I don't understand...'
It was not until Frank was out of sight in the darkness that Corbett turned around and walked into the villa.
Frank held William's hand without looking back. The scorching stare behind him seemed to have followed them for quite some time.
"Well, you don't have to walk so fast." While holding on to Frank, William turned around and saw Corbett was nowhere to be seen.
"I'm afraid that he will regret his words," Frank replied, a little flustered.
"Oh no, he's already back."
"Back... Has he gone back?" Frank looked back quickly, only to see the brightly lit gate and the bodyguards standing on both sides with expressionless faces.
He really went back! Somehow, Frank felt a sense of loss.
"Let's go," said William, taking Frank into the car.
"Isn't this my father's car?" Frank asked after getting in the car.
"Yes." William nodded. "I borrowed it from uncle.
"You've met him?" Frank asked in surprise.
"Yes."
"Did he make things difficult for you?"
"Don't worry." William smiled. "No."
"Really?" Frank asked again with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Yeah." With a smile, William changed the subject. "How were you for the past two days? I'm sorry, I'm late."
"I'm fine. Don't worry," Frank replied, but Corbett's face flashed in his mind.
"Something happened at home," answered William with a frown. "I could have come here earlier but I was delayed."
"What happened? Were you harmed?" Frank asked.
William turned his head and gazed at him for a moment before speaking. "My father and I... We had a fight."
"It's too easy for you to evade the important and dwell on the trivial," Frank said seriously. "Things won't be as easy as you say, William! Tell me!"
"I was locked up by my father." William began to talk about what had happened in the past two days. "And then..."
The car drove from Maple Mountain all the way to the downtown of Tokyo. At the same time, William finished the story intermittently.
"Oh my God..." After hearing the whole story, Frank sighed and apologized. "I'm sorry, William.
"It's not your fault," said William with a smile, patting his hand. "I insisted on coming to you. What's more, at least my father won't be a hindrance to us anymore."
"William..." Frank looked at William's face on the left and was deeply touched.
"We have to see your parents first. They've been worried about you for several days." After saying that, he drove to the residence of the Liang Family.
At dawn, Frank's parents had already woken up. There had been no news from William for the whole night. They had no idea what was going on. "Master, madam." A servant's voice suddenly came from the outside. They then saw him running breathlessly. "Young master, William... They are back!"
"What did you say?! Is it true?" Elise's eyes were full of disbelief as she sat up from the sofa.
"It's true. The car is coming in soon!"
"Oh my God!" Elise screamed. With tears in her eyes, she hurriedly ran outside the door.
Felipe was also moved and walked out quickly.
As soon as they were outside, they saw that the car was parked in the yard.
William and Frank got out of the car slowly.
"Frank!" Elise ran to Frank with a smile and held him in her arms. "Are you okay?"
"It's okay. I'm fine."
"That's good." Tears were streaming down Elise's face.
"Father." Frank looked at his father who was standing not far away and called out.
"Urn." Felipe nodded. His resentment towards his son had turned into endless gratitude at the moment he returned safely.
"William, thank you." Elise wiped her tears, then turned around to thank William. "You're welcome, auntie."
"Let's go inside first," said Elise, looking at everyone.
"Let's go inside!" After saying that, Felipe turned around and walked into the room first.
When everyone had returned to the living room. Felipe sat on sofa with Elise next to him. Meanwhile, William and Frank stood side by side in the middle of the living room. It felt that they were having a negotiation.
"Father," Frank said first, "what did you want me to do in Japan?"
"Frank, you've just arrived. Get some rest first." Seeing that the two men were about to talk about this as soon as they got together, Elise quickly persuaded him.
"If he wants to talk, I'll talk with him," Felipe said in a deep voice. "Anyway, we have to talk about it sooner or later."
"Then please tell me now, Father!"
"Didn't you know why I had asked you to come back?" Felipe said seriously.
"I don't know." Frank straightened up with a tough attitude.
