It had been a long time that an outsider said such things to Wendell. Those people who had said so in his presence already died for decades.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, Ernest could find him because of the Fraser family.
Wendell looked at the handsome young man in front of him, meeting his sharp and affirmative gaze on the familiar face.
He couldn’t deny it at all.
Since Ernest could come all the way to find him here, Wendell believed that he must have done the detailed investigation. Ernest wouldn’t believe his denial at all.
“Let’s talk upstairs.”
As he spoke, Wendell walked upstairs with a solemn look.
Wendell admitted his relationship with the Fraser family much faster than Ernest had imagined. He even didn’t need to use his force.
He guessed probably it was also because that Wendell knew his mother.
No matter what, Ernest was quite pleased with the result. Pressing his thin lips, he followed Wendell.
Gemma had a pale face, standing motionlessly. She almost went nuts.
She regretted so much that she wished she could strangle herself.
It turned out that Florence had been taken away, and Ernest couldn’t find her. It was supposed to be an excellent opportunity for her, but she had led Ernest to Lord Wendell personally. Judging from what had happened just now, Gemma guessed that probably Wendell truly knew where Florence was.
That meant she had truly helped Ernest find Florence, hadn’t she?
Gemma stomped in anger. She was so reluctant. With a darkened face, she wanted to follow the two men, trying to make some trouble.
However, when she arrived at the stairs, two strong bodyguards with muscles stopped her.
“Excuse me, Miss. You can’t go upstairs.”
Gemma immediately pointed at Ernest who was faster than her and walking on the stairs. “I’m his date. We’re together.”
“Miss, please wait here for him.”
The bodyguards were quite determined, unwilling to let her through.
Gemma was quite annoyed. Looking at Ernest’s back reluctantly, she was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth into pieces.
However, she was still in Lord Wendell’s territory. She couldn’t do anything as Wendell didn’t want her to go upstairs.
After a thought, Gemma walked aside and pulled her phone to make a call.
“Check what on earth happened to Florence Fraser. Now!”
--
Comparing with the vivid atmosphere downstairs, it was extremely quiet on the second floor. When they were walking in the corridor, their footsteps could be heard clearly.
Wendell took Ernest to the living room.
Sitting on the sofa, his wrinkled face looked quite serious.
Looking at Ernest, he directly asked, “Are you looking for the Fraser family’s location?”
Ernest came here for Florence, but Wendell didn’t know where she was. Instead, Wendell knew where the Fraser family was, which meant that Ernest planned to find Florence in the place where the family was hidden.
It had been so many years, and quite a few people wanted to find the Fraser family. However, nobody with a different family had the chance to get in.
Ernest nodded to admit.
“Since you’ve come to me, you should know the location of the Fraser family cannot be exposed to any outsider at all. Even you’ve known my identity and found me, I won’t tell you.”
Wendell looked quite solemn.
If it were another man who got to know his identity, what he would face should be killed. However, it was Ernest, Wendell didn’t think he had the right to do anything to him.
Hence, he wanted to convince Ernest.
Sitting on the sofa elegantly, although Ernest was a guest, his strong temperament made him look like the host who had everything in control.
He stared directly at Wendell sharply and harshly.
“Florence is my fiancée. I must find her.”
He sounded quite determined with the affirmance that he would do it at all costs and by all means.
Wendell was a bit shocked. Annoyed, he frowned.
Ernest could come to him and even find the secret that he was from the Fraser family, Wendell realized that he was quite capable, a tough nut to crack. Hence, if he couldn’t find the Fraser family, probably he would cause big trouble.
