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.
Wendell truly didn’t want to become an enemy to Ernest.
Frowning, he asked, “Could you please tell me why Florence was taken back to the Fraser family? When was she taken back? Probably I can send them a message for you, asking for more details.”
If he could be the middleman and exchange the messages for both parties, after things were getting better, Wendell guessed probably he could take Florence out of the family to Ernest.
In that case, it would be a happy ending.
While Wendell was considering the possibility, after listening to Ernest’s words, his whole face turned pale in fear.
“A few days ago. She was taken away by Stanford Fraser.”
Wendell didn’t know Florence, but he was quite familiar with Stanford, the young master of the Fraser family.
He also knew that Stanford had taken back a girl in person a few days ago.
That girl was the only daughter of the Fraser Family.
The girl that Ernest was looking for turned out to be the daughter of the family. Then…
“Ernest, do you know who Florence is in this family?”
Ernest nodded. “If not mistaken, she’s Stanford Fraser’s younger sister, your little miss.”
It was indeed her!
Wendell gaped, only hearing the buzz in his brain.
What a coincidence!
He had just received the notice that the young master had brought the little miss back home. All the family members outside were invited to attend the welcome ceremony in the Fraser family. After his birthday party, he planned to set off.
Much to his surprise, the girl that Ernest was looking for was Florence.
Wendell looked quite hesitant. “If it were another girl, I probably could help you. But she’s the little miss of the Fraser family, dearly loved by the couple and young master of the family. They’ve found her back after putting in so much effort, so they must treasure her very much. Even if you just want to meet her again, it would be way too difficult.”
Let alone Ernest wanted to bring Florence back.
Wendell pitied Ernest. It would be fine if he had fallen in love with someone else, but why did he fall in love with the princess in misfortune?
In fact, they could get married, but back then, Ernest’s mother had cut ties with the Turner family so decisively…
“Ernest, just listen to me. Please give up. You can’t be with her at all.”
Ernest frowned, a touch of darkness flashed through his eyes.
He had never given up on anyone that he wanted.
He said in a deep voice, “I’ll find her. No matter what happens in the future, it’s all up to me. Uncle Wendell, I hope you can tell me the location of the Fraser family.”
Also, he was requesting, his tone was quite domineering, unwilling to accept any refuse.
Wendell creased his brows. Although he didn’t have the heart to do so, he still shook his head.
“I’m sorry. I truly can’t.”
Ernest’s face became more darkened. Although he had expected the result, he still felt quite depressed.
He didn’t have the confidence to get the location of the Fraser family from Wendell, but he had means and plans for vigorous implementation.
“In this case, please excuse me.”
Ernest stood up and walked out of the living room without any hesitation.
His tall and strong back looked arrogant and decisive.
Wendell frowned deeply, looking quite disappointed and depressed.
The butler came over from aside, looking in the direction where Ernest was leaving worriedly.
“Earl, do you think he has given up?”
The Fraser family was the biggest secret to them, which was also quite sensitive. Anyone who got to know the secret would make all of them alert.
Wendell shook his head. “I don’t think so. Probably he has already kept an eye on us.”
The butler was shocked. “But you’ll go back to the Fraser family in two days. If you are followed, will the location be exposed?”
“Indeed. That’s why I’ve got a migraine. Alas…”
Wendell rubbed his temples, looking so depressed.
How come this just happened to him? He wondered what he should do…
