Chapter 2961


    Although Fred had now suffered quite a bit of loss, he was determined to find the culprit and propel the


    "Okay, I got it. I''ll definitely do my best to get to the bottom of it,” Larry promised. He knew that Fred


    wouldn''t be able to hang on for much longer considering his current condition, and De was reckless


    at times, so he had no choice but to help in the matter.


    “As for De, I can only apologize to you on her behalf. You''ll hear noints from me no matter


    how you want to handle her in the future. It''s indeed time to teach her a lesson. I''m afraid that I won''t


    have the opportunity to educate her anymore, so Larry, I implore you to treat her like a sister


    henceforth,” Fred beseeched.


    He was a reasonable person, so he naturally understood Larry''s feelings. Love couldn''t be forced in the


    first ce, so there wouldn''t be any positive oue no matter how hard one party tried if the other


    party didn''t feel the same.


    "You''ll definitely recover, Mr. Duff. Didn''t the doctor say that there''s still a high possibility of recovery?"


    Larry hastily countered.


    Truthfully speaking, he was a tad reluctant to part with the elderly man.


    It was indeed a great honor for him to meet such a venerated elder in the intricate business world. s,


    that pleasure was almost all but extinguished by De.


    "I''ll be undergoing an operation shortly. I''ll be able to live longer if the operation is sessful, but if


    otherwise, then I''ll be entrusting De and thepany to you.”


    Of course, what Fred meant by that was only having Larry manage thepany in trust until De had


    matured and grown stronger.


    "Don''t say such a negative thing, Mr. Duff. Don''t worry about thepany and De. Just rest at home,

    for I''ll handle everything for you,’ Larry avowed, patting himself on the chest.


    As Fred looked at the man in front of him, a smile finally bloomed on his face.


    Why isn''t he out yet when it''s been so long? Anxiety gripped De as she stared at the study upstairs.


    !t must be an exceedingly serious matter. Otherwise, why would


    Dad talk to him for such a long time? What exactly happened? And why is Dad keeping me in the dark?


    Tilting her head, she plunged into deep contemtion as a faint sense of dread pervaded her.


    At longst, the two men walked out of the study after what seemed like an eternity.


    Suspicion gued De as she stared at the men who were descending the stairs. However, it seemed


    as though everything was fine from their expressions.


    "Dad, I''ll see Larry out.’ As she said that, she stepped forward and took Larry''s arm with a smile.


    Fred naturally saw through her, but he didn''t stop her since had he had already reached a consensus


    with Larry earlier.


    "What did my father tell you, Larry? What exactly happened? Tell me!" De urged anxiously while


    shaking his arm.


    Nheless, Larry remembered Fred''s instructions, so he merely smiled at the woman before him.


    "Nothing much. We just discussed work for a bit, so don''t worry;’ Larry replied softly, patting her


    shoulder lightly.


    Upon glimpsing the different look in his eyes, De frowned slightly.


    Despite not having known him for long, she was already very much familiar with his character.


    For that reason, she knew that he was lying.


    She scrutinized his expression closely in an attempt to glean some clues. "Tell me the truth, Larry.


    What exactly happened?"


    When did she be so perceptive? Nheless, Larry merely shook his head without saying


    anything. Then, he spun around to leave.


    "Larry!"


    Sensing her unease, Larry finally relented and murmured, "Your father isn''t feeling well recently, so


    take good care of him. He merely asked me to make a trip overseas on his behalf.’
