Nali Family Other Residence

When the party was over, Frank returned back to his mansion, the one he owned personally . It was different with the mansion that he took from Kanae and Laura . One look and people would be able to see that this was truly an outstanding place, much better than the place where Sakura stayed all these times .

Frank looked towards the mess in front of him with despair all over his face . His daughter was still within his embrace, but he knew that they might not have any other way out anymore . The secret was out, and he wouldn't be able to hide it from the government .

"Master, are you alright?" one of his subordinates walked over .

Frank threw a mocked glance . "Prepare the room . She needs to rest . "

"Yes, Master . "

The servants quickly scurried away to do the task that Frank bestowed to them . Inside their mind, they were cursing their bad luck to be in charge of this family during this time of misfortune . If Frank lashed out to them, there was nothing they could do anymore .

"Miss, please follow us . "

Sakura lifted her head ever so slowly . Her eyes were void of any emotion as she saw the servants in front of her . Inside her mind, she was thinking hard about what had happened and what she should do now . Running away was clearly not an option as they might be killed immediately .

With the female servants' help, she slowly made her way to her room . After a while, she got dressed in more comfortable clothes and wiped up her makeup . Without the makeup, she looked far plainer and rather unsightly to look, yet no one dared to say that to her .

"I want to rest . Don't disturb me . "

"Yes, Miss . "

At the same time, Frank was trying his best to take care of the business matter . Because of the sudden incident, he got another setback in terms of economy . This had happened twice before, and his heart bled from the thought of losing billions of money just because of one incident .

It was at this time that he got a call from some rich man who was interested to buy the land of the destroyed mansion .

"Why did he only call now?" Frank frowned in displeasure .

"I think he's waiting for the time when the mansion's price lower . Lately, the price of the land in the east area has been increasing," the assistant answered carefully in fear of invoking Frank's wrath again .

Frank looked towards the offer . It was tempting . "Will selling the mansion help us financially?"

"Of course, Master . If we negotiate carefully, we can get a decent price . At that time, the loss from this matter won't be as big as we predicted . "

"Take care of this matter . "

"Yes, Master . "

Frank continued to work for hours until the servant announced that there were several people looking from them .

"Have you asked for their identification?" Frank frowned . He was too busy to take care of some guests .

The servant hesitatingly took out a badge . "They say that if I show this to Master, Master will understand who they are and why they come here . "

When Frank's eyes landed on the badge, his heart fell . Internally, he was screaming loudly, yet he kept on a cool face . They came so fast . He was not ready to face them yet . He couldn't let the servants know about his real feeling .

"Call Sakura here, tell her that it's time . "

"Yes, Master .

Although the servants didn't understand anything, they did as their master said . When they told Sakura about what Frank said, the girl's body shook so badly . It was clear that she was feeling extremely terrified .

Her eyes were unfocused as she made her way to the living room . Her feet were struggling hard to keep her body upright . She was afraid . Afraid of what might happen to her because of her own decision in the past . Facing the government, she might even lose her life right here and right now .

Tears fell down from the corner of her eyes . She didn't want to die . Not yet . She is too young to die .

"Sakura, it's fine . I'm here for you," Frank pulled his daughter into his embrace . Seeing how badly she looked like, he felt his heart was crushed . Although he didn't care about the others from the branch families, he cared for his daughter more than anything in the entire world .

What she wanted, he always gave it to her . Even when she asked an absurd request such as taking the Aida Family as their partner, he agreed . No matter what, he would let his daughter do whatever this little girl wanted .

Sakura nodded her head lifelessly . Her limpid body seemed to not have any strength left . She dragged her body to follow her father, who held her tenderly . They walked out and saw those men already ready near a car . From their gesture, it was not hard to say that they wanted them to get into the car .

Inside the car, Frank caressed Sakura's head over and over . He tried his best to reassure Sakura that everything was going to be alright . Nothing would happen to them .

By the time they arrived, Sakura felt calmer . However, the girl still didn't show any intention to stand up straight, so Frank has to help her out . Seeing the group of men in front of him, he gulped and tried his best to stay calm .

"Frank, we meet again . "

Hearing this voice, chills went down on his spine . Frank knew that the owner of this voice was not feeling as calm as his voice suggested . He turned his head and forced a smile out as he greeted the other party .

"Hello, Sir Ferdinand . I believe we already met a few times in the past . "

Ferdinand smiled . "This time the situation is a bit different . I believe you should know what I want . "

He was giving an amiable smile, but Frank knew better than anyone that this man was nothing more than a devil in disguise . He had an upright appearance, typical ex-soldier with a large body with a smile that could make him trust him . But Frank could never trust this man .

The gaze Ferdinand gave caused him to feel chills all over his body . He felt as if he was facing the great demon in hell rather than a minister .

Pushing down his unease, Frank nodded his head . "Yes . "

"Let's get inside . "

They walked into the building and Frank followed after Ferdinand without any sound . When they reached inside, Sakura clutched Frank's clothes harder . She didn't want to get separated from her father .

"I'll be right back, Sakura," Frank soothed the girl and walked to the room .

Ferdinand stood on the other side of the small room with his hand crossed . His eyes stared towards Frank sharply . "I believe there shouldn't be anyone who knows about your daughter getting the letter . Why the news got out so suddenly?"

"I don't know," Frank answered .

"How many people from your side know about the letter?"

Hearing his cold voice, Frank shuddered unconsciously . "I never tell anyone about the letter . The one who knows is only my daughter and my deceased wife . "

Ferdinand laughed coldly . "If the news doesn't come out from you, it means that the one who spread it is your daughter, right?"

Frank's face fell . "She never tells anyone about it anymore . "

"Anymore?"

"I… that… In the past, she brags about it to her classmates . "

"Give me their name . "

"I don't know . "

Ferdinand's eyes turned sharper . "Call the girl in . "

Being dragged by the bulky man, Sakura walked in lifelessly . Her eyes were unfocused as she looked towards the big man in front of her . She hoped from the bottom of her heart that she would be fine .

"Give me the name of people who knows about the letter," Ferdinand demanded immediately .

Sakura was startled . She turned her head towards her father for a moment . Seeing Frank urged her to answer, she opened her mouth hesitatingly and uttered out their name one by one .

"…, Kanae also know…"

As she listed them out, the man on the side noted their name one by one . On the other hand, Ferdinand's eyes grew colder .
