The Divorcee Amazed the World

The assistant hesitated for a moment. “I heard that Frank has a peculiar personality, and it might not be easy to make an appointment with him if you’re not familiar.”

Willis gave a faint acknowledgment and ended the call.

After some contemplation, he called his grandfather.

Once the call was answered, Willis asked, “Grandpa, do you know a foreign businessman named Frank?”

The old man thought for a while before replying, “Yes, I know him. We had some dealings back in the early years. Why are you looking for him?”

“Do you have a good relationship with him?”

“We have a bit of a connection. We helped each other out over thirty years ago.”

“A big favor or a small one?”

“Not a small one.”

His words indicated that it was indeed a significant favor.

Willis had a good idea and responded, “Alright, I’ll hang up.”

His grandfather choked for a moment and complained, “You brat, calling me so late just to ask about this?”

“Yeah, I need to talk to Frank about something.”

“When are you bringing Helena home? Your grandmother keeps mentioning her lately.”

Willis thought, “Your son has messed things up.”

He casually replied, “Helena is busy with work lately. I’ll bring her back to meet you in a while.”

Upon hearing about a child, Willis felt a pang in his heart.

It was an uncomfortable sensation, like being pricked with a needle.

The matter of Helena’s miscarriage was kept secret from both his grandfather and grandmother to spare them from the shock.

Having finished a few perfunctory sentences with his grandfather, Willis hung up.

He asked his assistant for Frank’s contact information and called him personally.

Initially, Frank’s secretary answered the call, but after Willis mentioned his grandfather’s name, Frank took the call himself.

After exchanging a few polite greetings, Willis explained the purpose of his call, “Frank, I heard that you have been searching for a copy of ‘Journey through Mountains and Rivers’ in China, is that correct?”

To his surprise, Frank’s personality was quite the opposite of what was rumored. He was extremely easy-going.

With a hearty laugh, Frank said, “Yes, but I haven’t found a satisfactory one yet.”

After a pause, he continued, “However, this afternoon, someone sent me a few videos of a painting. It was extremely spiritual. Unfortunately, for some reason, the person suddenly changed their mind and refused to sell it.”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Even through the phone, one could sense the regret in his voice.

Willis, being a very clever individual, quickly connected the dots.

There must be someone meddling in the situation.

He smiled and said, “The painting you mentioned is now in my possession. If you’re interested, how about we arrange to meet?”

Frank was visibly surprised. “That would be fantastic.”

Back on Helena’s side.

She turned her head to Willis and asked, “Is what you said true? Does he really like my painting?”

Willis chuckled, “He likes it. I heard that you changed your mind about selling it, and he was quite disappointed.”

Helena understood now.

Kelly had lied.
