Knowing that alone painted a clear picture of how witty and intelligent Xara was as a person.
Adding that to her superior intuition, Xara was certain that her father had been the one who had kidnapped Queta, even though she had no idea how he had found her in the first place.
“I know the Fendersons very well, Gerald. While several complicated internal matters happen within the family, if my father was the one who had kidnapped Queta, then I can rest assured that he won’t make things difficult for her. The problem is, I can’t say the same about the rest of the Fenderson family members…”
“Hahaha! Still… To think that all this stemmed from a fit I threw at him so many years ago! Though I’m sure he regrets it, his temper clearly hasn’t changed at all! Is he honestly still expecting me to step forward and apologize to him?” explained Xara, a bitter smile on her face.
“What should we do now, Aunt Fenderson? I simply can’t help but feel worried now that I know that Queta is with them!” replied Gerald as he shook his head.
After all, Queta was his biological cousin. She was a Crawford as much as he was.
What more, he was the one who had brought Queta along with him here. Now that she was experiencing so many misfortunes because of him, how could he just leave her alone?
“We think we should break into their mansion to rescue the second young lady, Mr. Crawford!” said Drake and Tyson in unison.
“Negative. I know both of you are powerful, but with all due respect, both of you won’t be able to take down my father’s four subordinates. To make matters clear, the Fenderson family’s background was once comparable to that of the Crawfords. There’s simply no way that the few of us can break in as we please!” replied Xara.
Hearing that, both men lowered their heads in shame.
“…Then, should we just leave the second young lady alone? Do we not rescue her?” asked Tyson.
