Ben’s eyebrows furrowed. "It's so late already, but Fane isn't back yet. Could it be that he's been kidnapped and can't come home? 300,000 isn't enough to compensate the Drake family. It doesn’t matter if he only beat up the bodyguards since they’re still from the Drake family!"
"No...no way."
Joan became even more worried when she heard this. She paced about anxiously but she could not do anything.
Both Fane and Selena were not back in spite of the late hour. Did something really happen to them?
"Those are the Drake family's bodyguards, not your regular cut of bodyguards. 300,000 should be ample compensation if they were regular guards, but nothing is certain if they belong to the Drakes...
"I'm just worried because Selena isn’t back either. Has Selena been taken too? What do we do if they ask us for ransom?”
Andrew smoked a cigarette by the side. His heart began to palpitate in worry for his daughter's safety.
"Ransom? If they ask for ransom, we’re only rescuing our daughter. That knucklehead can't do anything other than cause trouble. I’m certainly not using my money to pay for his mistakes!"
Fiona said, huffing angrily.
"Fiona, please don't say that. Fane is a father. Besides, he put his life at risk for your 800,000 without hesitation. You can’t just stand by and let him die!”
Joan feared that the Clark family would kill their hostages in a surge of anger, so she pleaded and begged as much as she could. 1
"Hmph. He was asking for it, don't you think so? It was so obvious that Miss Tanya was just teasing him when she didn't let him in. He could've turned around and left for home, no?
"I think he's gone nuts because of greed. The gall to charge straight into the Drakes' estate! And when their bodyguards tried to stop him, he beat them up. Wasn’t he asking for it?"
