Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 174

Hearing this, both Brandon and his son looked stunned.

Brandon quickly smiled and said, "We came in a hurry, so we weren't paying attention and might've missed it. Thank you, President Mendelson, for being gracious and forgiving my daughter."

Frank's tone was still indifferent as he said, "I don't like people taking pictures of me without my consent. Everyone in the high society of Orapolis knows about your daughter's hobby, and it really isn't a good one. President Taylor, please educate your daughter well when you go back. I was gracious enough to overlook her mistake this time, but if she wrongs someone else next time, she might not be as lucky."

Brandon hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, I'll educate her properly. Thank you, President Mendelson."

"Your daughter probably walked out and took a taxi home. If you wait at home, she'll most likely reach home soon." Frank's words were tantamount to asking them to leave.

"Sorry for bothering you, President Mendelson. We'll be taking our leave."

Frank hummed in reply before he called the housekeeper and ordered him to see the guests off. The housekeeper then politely invited Brandon and his son out of the house.

A few minutes later, the door of a maid's room on the first floor was opened. Amelia—whose hands were tied back and mouth was sealed with tape—was brought out by two bodyguards of the Mendelson Family.

Amelia looked at Frank with fear in her eyes. She knew that her behavior was impolite, but because no one had ever gone after her, she boldly took a photo of Frank, the second most beautiful man in Orapolis, this time. Back then, Frank didn't seem to notice it, which made her happy for a long time. However, she still couldn't escape his sight. Now, she had seen for herself what a man with true power could do!

When her father and brother came, Amelia had heard everything they said to Frank, but because she was tied up and her mouth was sealed, she was unable to call out to them. Besides, she was also pressed down by the two bodyguards and couldn't make a sound, so she could only listen to her father and brother expressing their gratitude to Frank before leaving. Then, she was dragged over by the two bodyguards and shoved onto the couch.

"Mmff…" She was mumbling at Frank through the tape.

"Take the tape off her mouth," Frank ordered impassively.

One of the bodyguards stepped forward and pulled the tape off Amelia's mouth. His movements were rough, and the pain she felt was as though the muscles on the edge of her mouth were torn apart.



"Master Frank." Now that she could speak, Amelia apologized, "Master Frank, I'm sorry. I've deleted all the photos and apologized to you. I promise I won't take photos of you again in the future. Will you please forgive me?"

Frank leaned back on the couch, looking at Amelia with his slanted eyes. She was a beautiful girl, and if another man saw her pitiful and terrified expression now, they would definitely feel pity for her. However, Frank was different. He only liked to appreciate the fear and embarrassment of others when they pleaded to him.

"Are you good friends with Kendall?"

Amelia was taken aback for a moment before she said nervously, "Master Frank, I'll take full responsibility. I was wrong, and I'll take any punishment you give me, but don't bring my family and friends into this. Kendall doesn't know anything. She isn't interested in handsome men, and I didn't send your photo to her."

"She isn't interested in handsome men?" Frank chuckled. "Didn't she insist on marrying Jackson back then because he was handsome?"

"She has already completely given up on Jackson now. At the beginning, she didn't fall in love with him because of his looks. Maybe it was fate, and she said she didn't know why, but she fell for him the moment she saw him... Master Frank, d-don't drag Kendall into this."

Frank sat upright, then stood up and walked to Amelia. He bent down, and the face that made Amelia feel amazed approached hers. Her heart was beating wildly, and she had no idea what he was going to do.

"What if I want to bring Kendall into this?"

Amelia's eyes widened. "Master Frank, this matter has nothing to do with Kendall. Please don't hurt her. You can take it out on me and I won't say a word even if you do anything to me, so don't hurt her. She's innocent."

Frank straightened his body and applauded. "Kendall is fortunate to have a friend like you. Miss Taylor, if I said that I will spare you as long as I can take it out on Kendall, what will you choose? If I don't spare you, you and your family will be doomed."

Amelia's face turned pale. She had really gotten herself into huge trouble this time and even put her family in danger. She regretted her actions so much that she wanted to slap herself.

"Even so, the fault lies with me. I made a mistake, so I have to bear the consequences. I've wronged everyone in the Taylor Family... Master Frank, this matter has nothing to do with Kendall, so please don't get her involved."

Amelia wasn't stupid. When Frank brought Kendall up, she knew she was just bait. What Frank really wanted was to deal with Kendall. But, why? Could it be that he held a grudge because Kendall stepped on him at Yasmine's birthday party? However, if he really hated Kendall, he would've directly went to look for Kendall instead of using her.
