Chapter 2152
"Thanks!"
While Alda was refusing, she was really hoping that Frank would go with her.
It went without saying that she was overjoyed that he agreed to it.
Getting into a Panamera, she adjusted her seat as she blurted, "Who are you really, Mr. Frankton?"
She was really curious because he seemed at once familiar yet mysterious.
"Don't worry about it." Frank shrugged. "You just have to understand that I'm not a bad man."
Alda nodded-Frank would not harm her, and that was enough for her.
She started the car and drove home to Ingram Mansion, though they both heard a loud crash as if something was colliding with the steel gates. They looked out to find over a dozen security guards carrying over a dozen Kawasaki H2.
Alda stopped the car and went up with Frank to see a burly man riding on one of the motorbikes, accelerating it and leaping off just before it collided with the gate, totalling it like the other wrecks around it.
"What's going on here?" Frank asked one of the security guards, whom he recognized as the man who had greeted Tigris before.
The security guard shrugged, however. "We have no idea. Just over ten minutes ago, a semi arrived with those motorbikes. They unloaded them, placing them in a row before leaving. After that, these people kept sending those bikes crashing on the gates and refused to say anything aside from demanding to see Ms. Ingram!"
"Me?!"
Alda strode up to one of the men. "Who are you? You could've just told me you wanted to see me. Why are you doing this?"
The man took off his helmet. "Oh, Ms. Ingram you finally showed up. Someone's asking to see you and had to get your attention since your father said you were out and unreachable. I can't say much else, but I'm sure you'll understand when you see her."
"Well, where is she?" Alda asked.
The man got on another H2 and sped off to the main road, while Alda and Frank quickly followed him to a farmer's cottage.
The man stopped his bike, pointing at the cottage. "She's in there. You can head inside."
Frank and Alda went in, with poultry scrambling out of the way and a couple of mongrels fighting over chicken feed.
There was corn growing all over the western wall, while a couple of chilis were going over the wall itself.
Seeing smoke from the chimney on top of the kitchen, Alda entered and asked gingerly, "Excuse me? Is someone in here?"
"Of course!"
The woman who stepped outside was wearing a red evening gown that stuck out in the surroundings, and her lips were a luscious red. With her curled hair, she looked like your typical
noble daughter!
"Jouri!"
Alda was grinning ear-to-ear when she recognized the woman.noveldrama
Frank asked, "You two know each other?"

Alda nodded. "Hell, we were roommates back in college! But had no idea where she went after she graduated, since she never contacted me."
Jouri Yelin appeared apologetic. "Sorry, I had to cut off all contact due to certain reasons. I came looking for you once I was done with it, but your phone's dead and you're not at home, so I had to really get your attention. Don't worry for the repairs of your mansion gates."

"Why did you have to cut yourself off? Wait, were you in jail?" Alda asked, curious.
"Buzz off! I'm not like you, always surrounding yourself with pretty boys!"
Alda flushed at Jouri's diss.
