Chapter 675

When Frank heard Ills wife's complaints, he folded the newspaper and removed liis glasses to look at the woman dressed in a gown. “Sheena's not a child anymore. She knows what she's doing. Besides. I didn't force her into the marriage. She was the one who agreed to it first. Wanda, you should let young people deal with their own matters.”

“Deal with their own matters? How is Sheena going to deal with it? That boy's a crown prince. This marriage was agreed upon by both parties in the first place. Besides. I didn't put a stop to the marriage because I thought there was something going on between them. Remember what you told me back then? You said the crown prince seems to be sincere about Sheena and that he was not faking liis feelings.” Wanda repeated everything Frank told her in the past. She then stepped forward and snatched the folded papers that were still in Frank's hands. “I'm warning you. Frank. I don't care how ambitious you men are in your career, but if you sacrifice my dear Sheena for it. I'll make you pay.” With that, she tossed the newspaper back to him.

A crease appeared on Frank's forehead as he stared at the newspapers Wanda had crumpled. As he put on his glasses to continue reading the papers, he thought he should at least show some concern. On second thought, he wax ed his hand and gestured for his butler. Waldo, to come over.

“Yes. Old Powell? Is there anything I can do for you?” asked Waldo after arriving before Frank.

“Find out the crown prince's situation,” said Frank. He looked up and shot Waldo a look before waving his hand. "Don't tell anyone about this.”

“Of course.” Waldo nodded and left quietly.

Sitting on the couch. Frank threw liis crumpled newspaper into the trash can and strolled toward the backyard door.
