Chapter 156

After Elspeth finished talking, she looked at Frank’s cocky expression and acted as if she was in pity.

“Mr. Joneson, please don’t make things hard for me and try to talk to Miss Lynwood. After all, this is old Mr. Joneson’s order. Things won’t be pretty if we can’t take her back.”

Although Frank was annoyed, he still nodded and said, “Okay.”

“How are you going to persuade me then, Mr. Joneson?” asked Elspeth while she raised an eyebrow in amusement.

“I’m not going to. Just go back with me.”

Hearing his words, Elspeth clicked her tongue and said, “Is this how you ask for a favor?”

“I’m not asking for a favor, Elspeth!” Frank retorted. Elspeth was driving him going crazy. How on earth does she have such a glib tongue? Why am I the one who needs to talk to her?

“Okay, I’ll stop messing around. Why are you in such a rush to bring me home?” Elspeth stopped smiling and asked.

Frank was frustrated and pinched the area between his brows. “Grandfather said he misses you.”

“Is it just because of this?”

Frank thought for a moment before saying, “He did want you to change your surname to Joneson and become one of us.” Then, he looked at her like she was something unpleasant. “I’ll never understand what he sees in you. He said that you’re a young and promising woman and that you’re no doubt a Joneson.”

“I’m flattered. Unlike someone arrogant, he has an eye for talent.” Elspeth smiled faintly.
