Chapter 2960
"Isn''t that De?" Joan said to Larry in the car.
Why is she here? Larry had his guard up all of a sudden.
"Larry!" De called out to Larry at once. However, her face went pale when she saw the woman in the
car.
"I tried calling you just now but was unable to reach you; De said cautiously, before ncing at Joan
arrogantly.
Then, she continued, "Um, my dad''s looking for you” Mr. Duff''s looking for me? Larry eyed the woman
suspiciously, feeling surprised.
Fred would not look for him if it wasn''t anything important. It seemed like something urgent might have
happened.
Larry turned around and exined the situation briefly to Joan before getting into the car.
Joan had a worried expression on her face as she watched the car drive away. She knew the Duff
family''s background and influence very well. Fred wasn''t someone to be offended and Joan was feeling
ill at ease as she wondered if Larry would be in any danger.
Joan rubbed her hands nervously but she still believed that Larry would be able to handle anything that
came his way!
"Why is Mr. Duff looking for me?" Larry asked De softly while they were walking.
"I''m not sure. Dad didn''t tell me,’ De replied swiftly. Meanwhile, Fred was flipping through a
newspaper on the sofa in the living room. Even though he appeared to be very rxed, he was
panicking inside his heart.
"Mr. Duff" Larry greeted the man immediately when he entered the living room.
"You''re here. Follow me to the study,’ Mr. Duff said and stood up, before heading upstairs.
For some unknown reason, De felt a sense of unease as she looked at her dad''s lonesome figure.
Did something happen to thepany?0r is dad facing any troubles?
De could not stop pacing to and fro and remained ina fluster.
"Ms. Duff, here, have some water,’ the housemaid said as she passed De a ss of water.
"Oh, wait a minute, do you know if anything has happened to my dadtely?" De grabbed the
housemaid''s arm and asked.
The housemaid looked upstairs and was put in a tight spot. Fred had told her not to tell De about his
health condition.

"Tell me!" De yelled furiously, emitting a cold aura.
The housemaid was startled by De''s reaction and retreated a few steps instinctively. Avoiding De’s
gaze, she lowered her head and replied at once, "Mr. Duff is fine. But I think Ms. Duff, you shoulde
home and spend time with your dad more often. He''s getting old after all and needs some concern from
his children’
De heaved a sigh of relief at once when she heard that.
“Well, you are just a housemaid and you dare to lecture me?” De stepped towards the housemaid
and said fiercely.
"No, I dare not! Ms. Duff, I''ll go prepare food now,’ the housemaid said and quickly ran towards the
kitchen.
De did not manage to get the hidden meaning behind the housemaid''s words.
In the study, Fred was sitting at his desk with a serious expression on his face, while Larry sat on the
sofa, awaiting the man''s instructions.
He could not help but worry as he noticed the somber expression Fred had. Did he encounter any
difficulties? A glint of concern shed across Larry''s eyes.
“Larry, I need your help with something,” Fred cleared his throat and said in a soft voice.
Larry felt that they did not need to stand on such ceremony with each other as they had known each
other for such a long time. In fact, if it wasn''t for De, the both of them might have already joined
hands in business long ago.
"De is still young and it''s likely that there are things that she wouldn''t be able to do well. My health is
not so goodtely so I can only trouble you. Mypany is facing some difficultiestely which is
causing us huge losses. Can you find out for me who''s behind it?" Fred said softly while ncing at the
door.
Larry was shocked to hear that. Who in the world would have the guts toy hands on Mr. Duff?isn''t
that starting a losing battle?
