Chapter 384
Frank turned grim in response, for he detested hearing others saying how happy Kendall was married
to Dn.
"Do you really like Kendall, or do you only think of her as a means to fight Master Dn?"
"That''s none of your business!" Frank retorted coldly as he turned around to look at Amelia with
derision. "Don''t go thinking you''re special and have the right to lecture me just because you''ve been
here for a few days, Taylor. You''re my pawn."
Amelia sneered in response. "Geeze, you don''t say. I''ve always been aware that I''m your pawn, and
you do treat me specially—specially ruthless, that is. I''m not trying to lecture you either, President. I just
feel bad for my friend, and there''s no need to think so highly of yourself. As much as I''d unknowingly
drool whenever I gawk at your good looks, I have a crush. I won''t really fantasize about you."
"Are you saying I''m ttering myself?" Frank growled grimly.
"Are you not? Kendall clearly doesn''t like you. Hell, she doesn''t even feel anything for you, yet you still
shamelessly cling to her. Tell me you haven''t been thinking highly of yourself now. Do you think just
because you''re prince charming, every woman wants to dance with you at the ball?"
Frank shot up and turned around at once, standing right before Amelia. s, before the young woman
could even register what was happening, hisrge hand was already squeezing her neck, causing
Amelia to instantly il and struggle from suffocation.
"Sir, sir!" Desmond had left the room to ry Frank''s order to buyxatives, only to rush back inside in
fright upon seeing what his master was doing. However, he dared not forcibly pry Frank''s hand away
but tried reminding him, "Sir, Ms. Taylor is Miss Kendall''s best friend. If something bad happens to her
here, Miss Kendall will surely avenge Ms. Taylor, and by then, you and Miss Kendall will be
enemies."
Desmond sure knew his master like the back of his hand as Frank loosened his grip on Amelia''s neck.
However, he also shoved her to the floor while doing so.
"No one can stop me from getting Kendall. She''s mine!" he hissed icily.
He was just a step slower, allowing Dn to get to her first. I will fight you to the death for stealing my
wife, Dn!
What? Dn retorted. Who''s the wife-snatcher here, you shameless, distorted b*stard?! Yo, God, are
you not going to say something?!
I know nothing. I''m blind. God yed dumb.
On the floor, Amelia coughed non-stop because she really thought she was going to be a goner.
Hell, to think she had thought Frank was iparably hot back then—even hotter than Dn at that.
But now, after knowing him personally, she realized there was a good reason he was forever second-
best next to Dn.
This man was f*cking crazy and unreasonable!

Then again, if he could be reasoned with, he wouldn''t have gotten her to take care of him, only to vent
his anger at her. No doubt he was forcing her to cry about it to Kendall so that thetter woulde
seeking justice for her, thereby falling into his trap.
Well, too bad for you; I will never go to Kendall for this. What are you going to do, kill me?!
Frank red daggers at Amelia for a long while before limping into the house, leaving his wheelchair
outside.
He hadn''t actually wanted toe out to soak up the sun; it was merely an excuse to torture her.
It wasn''t until Frank went back inside that Desmond went to help Amelia up and sighed, "Ms. Taylor,
you''re not Miss Kendall. Please don''t try to challenge Mr. Mendelson. He can really kill you if he gets
serious."
Meanwhile, Amelia rubbed her neck in silence.
"Ms. Taylor, you have to hang on."
At that, she looked at Desmond, pissed off. "Desmond, does your master know you''re defying him?"
"You''re smart, Ms. Taylor—no wonder you''re Miss Kendall''s best friend. They always say birds of a
feather flock together. Since you can be close with Miss Kendall, that means you two are the same kind
of people—smart and magnanimous. Any man would be lucky to marry you."
Let''s hope that man will be Mr. Mendelson. Desmond could already imagine his master''s challenging
path to winning his beloved''s heart now. To make it less daunting for Frank, he desperately tried to
exin the situation to Amelia.
"If Mr. Mendelson is infatuated with an unmarried Miss Kendall, I''d pull out the fireworks to celebrate.
But as reality has it, she''s married to Master Dn. Master Dn spoils her to no end, and Mr.
Mendelson has never once defeated Master Dn. As such, Mr. Mendelson is destined to suffer. I
really don''t want him to bear such suffering."
Frank''s misery pained Desmond. He just couldn''t understand how his master would constantly dream
about Miss Kendall before even encountering her at the hospital. Even more outrageously, the two had
a daughter together…
Never would Desmond have believed in such strangeness if it hadn''t happened to Frank and that he
hadn''t witnessed how suddenly Frank became infatuated with Kendall.
"Isn''t he doing this because Kendall married Dn?"
"No. Anyhow, this whole thing is very bizarre and also very depressing. Actually, Mr. Mendelson is very
miserable. Of course, you''re on Master Dn''s side, adversarial to Mr. Mendelson, so you can''t see
how miserable he is."
With different sides came different perspectives.
"Desmond, you''re a good guy, and I can see you genuinely care about your master. Try and talk some
sense into him, will you? See that he doesn''t stray into an enraging blind alley. I won''t yield either. If he
really has feelings for Kendall, then he shouldn''t be doing any of this."
Desmond sighed in response. "Mr. Mendelson is obstinate; you''ve experienced it first hand yourself. In
fact, between the Mendelsons, no one but Old Master Mendelson can get Mr. Mendelson to do
anything otherwise. However, the old master is getting in on age, and it''s not something we want to
bother him with. Ms. Taylor, can you please be a little more attentive to Mr. Mendelson? I mean, put in a
tiny bit of care whenever you''re forced to look after him. Mr. Mendelson''s actually really piteous and
unloved."
Amelia fell silent, ruminating on Desmond''s words until she heard him say, "Ms. Taylor, if you can so
kindly push Mr. Mendelson''s wheelchair inside while I have them buy thexative."
She was rendered speechless at once. Desmond, how can you ask me to be nicer to your master while
obliging to his orders and feeding mexatives…
"Miss Taylor, I''ll secretly return your bag to you before you leave so that you can either call your family
to pick you up or have the money to hail a cab instead of walking home again."
The people in the Mendelson Residence were all d that nothing had happened to Amelia, for they all
believed she had walked home for the past few nights. Little did they know that Ronnie had been
''passing by'' every night to take Amelia home.
Thus, it became a time she most looked forward to whenever she was ''asked'' toe over, for she''d
be able to go home in her crush''s car.
They could argue he was really just passing by if she encountered him once, but surely it was no
coincidence when she encountered him for a few days straight.
Does Ronnie actually have feelings for me? she pondered joyously. Is this why he has been pretending
to ''pass by'' and sending me home for the past few nights? Not only that, we''d pass by that restaurant
every night, and he''d take me inside for dinner without fail.
However, Amelia didn''t burst his bubble. Since Ronnie said he was just ''passing by'', she''d just take his
word for it.
Meanwhile, Desmond pulled some cash out of his wallet and shoved them into Amelia''s hand,
whispering, "Miss Taylor, this ispensation for scaring you. Surely Mr. Mendelson had spooked you
for good just now. Go ahead and calm your nerves with this money. I''ll go and buy thexatives now."
Desmond went off to buy thexatives joyously after giving Amelia the money, thinking he had
sessfully gotten Amelia feeling bad for Frank.
s, she was instead rendered speechless, for all his efforts had gone to waste the second he said
he''d be off to buy thexatives.
