Chapter 131


    "They arranged for him to live in a vi all by himself? Is he not living together with bodyguards? Isn''t


    there a dormitory for bodyguards?"


    Ben was stunned. This oue far exceeded their expectations.


    Fane chuckled. "I did run into the Drakes'' bodyguards, but they wereplete trash!"


    "And because of that, not a single one was worthy to b e my opponent. The leader of the Drake family


    seems t o like me. He said that my skill was worth twenty million bucks a month!"


    "Furthermore, the family''s patriarch said that those bodyguards were arranged to test me. They wanted


    to see if I was someone who knew how to pick their fights, someone who was courageous."


    "It''s obvious that I passed the test."


    Fane coughed quietly, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone.


    Selena’s lips parted slightly, anxiety clenching her guts. Her husband had never said anything like that


    before, and he had not batted an eye as he lied.


    "Really? It was just a test? And it was pre-arranged? S o you''ll go to work tomorrow?"


    Fiona practically bounced with excitement as soon as


    she heard him, thinking about the twenty million bucks a month.


    "Of course he''s serious, Ma. How could he lie to you about something like this? You can follow him to


    work tomorrow if you don’t believe him. See if anyone still dares to get in his way!" Selena exined,


    and she eye-rolled at her mother.


    "Then you''ll let me take three hundred thousand from you, right? It''s all your fault I took out so much


    money abruptly, after all. I thought it was for a ransom. We did see Fane beating those bodyguards up


    with our own eyes!"


    Fiona''s resentful expression had long been reced b y one ofplete delight.


    "So, Fane, even the head of the Drakes has acknowledged your potential and highly regards you?"


    Andrew asked Fane as he stepped forward.


    Everyone looked at him in anticipation. The Drakes were the wealthiest family in Middle Province, after


    all.


    "That''s right. I''m very capable, basically!” Fane answered, a smile stered on his face.


    "Oh, that’s such wonderful news! I thought that you were all kidnapped since you haven''t returned,


    although it''s sote." The tension at Joan''s chest finally eased off.


    "Oh, right. Why were you guys following me? You could''ve just said something to me if you wanted to


    see me off to work."


    Amusement sparked in Fane as he looked at Fiona. He had long known about how they hid in the


    coffee shop; he was merelyzy to call them out. 2


    "Oh, dear. No need to put it that way! We weren''t following you. We just wanted to check out the


    situation because we care for you."


    Fionaughed awkwardly. "It''s all good so long as you''re good!"


    A thought brewed in her mind after she said that, and she tacked on, "By the way, Fane, I think that you


    won’t receive your sry by the time our patriarch is celebrating his birthday. Can you ask Tanya and


    see if they can give you this month''s sry early? We''ll use half of it topensate Ivan, and another


    half to buy something for Old Man Taylor!”


    "You don''t want me to pay the bride price anymore?"


    Fane’s brows creased together. Fiona had been so insistent on the bride price and would pester him


    about it almost every single day. Why would she be so kind all of the sudden?Original from N?velDrama.Org.
