CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 Francis' Pets

Francis paused his steps and turned his head towards Wilfred. His gaze was sharp, as if trying to see through Wilfred.

Wilfred met his gaze candidly. After all, he was speaking the truth.

"Is that so?" Francis muttered thoughtfully, as if thinking about something. Then, he chuckled.

"That's the only connection between us."

Francis withdrew his gaze and looked towards the distant cage that was faintly visible. He said, "Mr. Vaughn, you are a smart man. It's better not to take on cases that shouldn't be taken on, so as not to invite trouble."

Wilfred didn't understand and asked, "The case of Ms. Klaud? It's just a common family dispute. I don't see why I shouldn't take it."

"Mr. Vaughn, it seems that you didn't understand what I said." Francis walked over to a nearby bench, sat down with his legs crossed, and calmly looked at Wilfred.

Wilfred didn't quite get it. After all, he didn't know much about what was going on between Lilian and Francis.

And just then, a large wolf-like dog rushed out from somewhere. Its fur was shining in the sunlight, and it was barking loudly as it ran towards Wilfred.

Wilfred froze, standing still and almost forgetting to react.

In the blink of an eye, the wolf-like dog rushed in front of him, about to bite his leg.

"Eric!"

Francis shouted, and the wolf dog braked suddenly, stopping steadily in front of Wilfred, with its tongue out and drooling at the corners of its mouth.

Wilfred's face turned pale.

"Come here."

The wolf-like dog reluctantly glanced at Wilfred, then wagged its tail and came to Francis, obediently sitting on the ground.

Francis stroked Eric's head with his slender fingers and looked at Wilfred. "Mr. Vaughn, do you understand now?"
