I also wasn't clear on the specifics, so I couldn't just say anything.
"Did Zachary really not say anything to you?"
Speaking of this, Jane seemed to get angry, grinding her teeth. "No, I asked him nicely, and he just turned and walked away."
"I called him again, but he didn't answer. I sent a message, and it was like throwing a peddle into the
ocean."
"What? Frank hasn't called you back?"
"He did."
But I still felt restless and anxious.
"He said there was just a problem with the collaboration, but I know something has happened."
After hearing this, Jane thought for a moment and said, "It's true that it's not as safe abroad as it is here,
but it's much better than before. Your man is smart; he'll be fine."
"Don't overthink it; maybe it's just that he doesn't want to keep the partners waiting. He can't be treated the same way abroad as he is here." "Alright, stop worrying."
Seeing me downcast, Jane pushed the cake in front of me. "He said he'd be back for Christmas, so just wait. If he doesn't come back or something happens, I'll go abroad to help you check on him. Will that make you feel better?" What else could I say? I forced a smile. "No need. If Frank got into trouble, how could I let you go alone?"
Jane's eyes sparkled: "What if I'm not going alone?"
I was confused. "Huh?"
Jane grinned. "Zachary must also be worried about Frank. Even if he's not, he could help out, right?"
I couldn't help but laugh. "You're being too scheming."
Jane hugged me. "You're happy now. Shouldn't you think about your friend's happiness too?"
"I want to."
I took a bite of cake and stuffed it into her mouth. "But isn't it too risky to go abroad for a date at this moment? I can find opportunities for you here." "No, no, no."
Jane let go of me, sat up straight, and wiggled her finger back and forth, looking mysterious. "Adventure is what makes relationships heat up."
I disagreed. "Are you saying you want love but don't care about your life?"
Jane laughed. "Dying under the peony flowers is still a kind of romance."
I was rendered speechless.
Zachary did manage to get through to Frank.
"What's the situation on your end?"
Zachary hadn't explained everything clearly to Jane, as he himself wasn't sure of the specifics.
With her close relationship with Charlotte, if he said the wrong thing and upset her, Frank wouldn't care about him being a friend at all.
Valin," Frank replied coldly.
Zachary frowned. "The business was bait?"
Frank nodded.
Zachary fell silent for a few seconds and thought of someone. "Jack?"Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Jack had managed to stay behind the scenes for so long without being discovered, which made Zachary suspect there was someone else backing him.
"Nothing's been found." Frank's voice turned cold. "For now, we can only confirm that Kevin is within the Valin family."
"Kevin?" Zachary pondered. "He's collaborated with Jack before, yet to take your life, he wouldn't hesitate to blow Jack up."
Frank twirled the glass in his hand and finally took a sip. He asked, "Are you sure Jack is dead?"
"I went personally and even pulled some strings. I haven't slept a wink since, so I'm quite sure he's dead," replied Zachary. "Let's hope so."
Otherwise...
A killing intent crossed Frank's mind. "Don't let Jane know that I was hurt."
"I know. If Kevin has connections to the Valin family, can you hold his wife and children to make him bring you back?" asked Zachary,
