Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 316

"Mr. Fisher, is there anything in the car we can give them to be used for self-defense?" Kendall asked Henry. At the same time, she looked around, checking if there was something that she could pass to the two bodyguards to protect themselves. Unfortunately, the Mendelson Family brought so many bodyguards. Even if the two bodyguards Dylan arranged to protect me have something for self- defense, there is a chance that they are no match for the Mendelson Family's bodyguards, let alone fight with bare hands.

Henry instantly responded, "Young Mistress Kendall, there are only two umbrellas, a stick umbrella, and a telescopic umbrella."

"Give the umbrellas to them." Well, fighting using umbrellas is better than fighting with bare hands.

Henry swiftly took the telescopic umbrella and got out of the car. Then, he walked to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and took out a stick umbrella.

Similarly, Frank, who was sitting in the car, saw the sudden appearance of the two bodyguards and guessed that they were bodyguards Dylan had arranged to protect Kendall in secret. It is no wonder they can discover the informer I had sent to spy on Parker Corporation so quickly. Well, my men will definitely have the upper hand if both sides are to have a head-on confrontation, but that is not my top priority. I do not wish to have a head-on confrontation with them. I just want to have supper and a late- night talk with Kendall. I miss her so much these days!

Therefore, Frank left his car and strode forward.

Just when the bodyguards from both sides were about to confront each other and break into a fight, Frank's cold voice sounded. "Everyone step back!"

The Mendelson Family's bodyguards immediately stepped back and made way for Frank at his stern order.

However, Frank could not get to Kendall's car window because the two bodyguards of the Coleman Family blocked his path.

"Kendall!" Frank shouted to Kendall, who was in the car, "I have no ill intentions. I just want to ask you out for supper, that's all."

After a brief silence, Kendall rolled down the window and looked at Frank.

With the help of the light coming from the street lamp, the two met each other's gazes—a slight tint of yearning sparkled in Frank's alluring eyes, whereas only calmness could be seen in Kendall's almond eyes.

Frank's avaricious gaze lingered on Kendall's face. Deep down, he wished he could caress her face so badly.

"Thank you, President Mendelson, but there will be no need for that. My husband has prepared supper for me when I arrive home later," said Kendall—her tone was calm when she spoke the first half of the sentence, whereas there was a sweet tone in her voice when she articulated the second half of the sentence.

As her words echoed in Frank's ears, he only felt his heart ache like it had been slashed by an extremely sharp knife, both bloody and heart-wrenching. No! She should be mine! Yet, she has now

become my nemesis' wife!

Frank's eyes gradually turned cold, and the tone in his voice also became glacial. "Kendall, my men, outnumber yours, and they have iron rods in their hands. As for your men, they only have two umbrellas. You are a wise woman. If a fight really broke out, your men would definitely lose."

When he caught sight of the anger in her eyes, he then added, "I know you are skilled at fighting, but you can't defeat me in a fair fight, let alone kill my bodyguards. Dylan's bodyguards are strong, but my bodyguards are no ordinary fighters, either. By now, I am sure you are also aware that I like to compete with Dylan." Dylan has hired someone with extraordinary fighting skills to be his bodyguard. So, naturally, in order to compete with Dylan's bodyguards, I, too, had spent a lot of money to hire someone with excellent skills to be my bodyguard.

"President Mendelson, are you perhaps threatening me?"

Frank looked at her calmly. "If you want to take it as a threat, then so be it. But, Kendall, I will give you two minutes to consider whether you should take the initiative to get into my car by yourself or be carried into the car by me."

At once, Kendall scowled as she spat, "Frank! You shameless j*rk!"

Frank glanced at her coldly and said, "I do not need to be chivalrous to you."

When she heard his reasoning, she nearly went mad with fury to the point that she was tongue-tied.

Frank took a few steps back and let his bodyguards surround him in the middle and protect him. Finally, he raised his left hand, looked at the watch in his hand, and said to Kendall, "You can start considering

now. Remember: you only have two minutes. Be good if you do not want the two bodyguards to get hurt because of you. I promise I will only have supper with you and never lay a finger on you."

Kendall's facial expression was icy cold. "And why should I trust you?"

When Frank heard that he pursed his lips and said, "Did I not let you go that morning? Do you think you could leave if I had not let you go?" If I were a little more shameless, I would have taken her right there and then and made her my woman. That way, our baby will return to us, and our family will finally be whole again.

"Thirty seconds have passed, so you now have one minute and thirty seconds."

When Kendall saw he was really counting down the time, she became mute with anger. I know Mr. Fisher has informed Dylan, but it is still impossible for him to arrive within two minutes, even if he rushes over in a hurry. Besides, Frank is someone who walks the talk. He will undoubtedly hurt the two bodyguards, smash the car, and drag me to his car if I do not give him a clear answer in two minutes.

At this juncture, Kendall found herself extremely annoyed by Frank's pestering. Perhaps the God of Reincarnation does not want to let me live a smooth-sailing life despite granting me the chance to be reborn. And if I want to grow old happily with Dylan, I will have to go through countless rocky and stormy obstacles. But, as they say, sunshine always comes after the rain. So things will get better for Dylan and me in the future.

With that, Kendall glared at Frank, but the latter simply looked at her intensely. If others saw Frank's current gaze, they would surely deem it affectionate. But not for me! I only feel disgusted, like I will spit foul words in the next second.

After she considered the pros and cons of this situation, she pushed open the car door.

"Young Mistress Kendall!" Henry and the two bodyguards shouted at the same time.

Blake, one of the bodyguards, said, "Young Mistress Kendall, go back inside the car. We will do our very best to protect you." We will never ever let Young Master Dylan's nemesis kidnap Young Mistress Kendall.

"Young Mistress Kendall, do not get out of the car," Henry also persuaded her.

Nevertheless, Kendall raised her hand, telling Henry that he did not need to persuade her further. After that, she left and walked over to Frank's side.

"Young Mistress Kendall!" The two bodyguards came forth and blocked her path.

"Blake, is it?" Kendall asked Blake. From Ronnie to Blake, she could recognize all of them.

"This is a private matter between President Mendelson and me. Tonight's incident will continue to take place if it does not get solved right here and now," Kendall said, "You guys do not have to worry about me. Trust me: he will not hurt me, and I will never do anything to betray Dylan's trust in me."

When the two bodyguards heard that, they looked at each other uneasily. She took advantage of their hesitance, walked past them, and stood before Frank. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

His eyes were filled with joy when he saw this, thinking she had given in.

Unfortunately, a dream would only remain that, a dream. Kendall forcefully squashed her anger as she

took a few deep breaths, looked up at Frank, and said coldly, "Frank, I know the reason you have been bugging me is because of the baby. Well, since you do not even believe the results of your own investigation, then I will tell you the real sequence of events. Follow me." With that, she turned around and walked away.

Frank remained silent at her barbs but moved his feet and followed behind her.

"Blake, I do not want any of you to follow me," Kendall instructed.

Likewise, the Mendelson Family's bodyguards naturally did not dare to take a step forward without Frank's instructions.

She walked to a street lamp and only stopped until she was sure that she was far away enough from the bodyguards. Finally, she turned around, her back facing Frank as she looked into the distance.

"Kendall," Frank called softly, "Kendall, I really have no ill will toward you. I just want our baby to come back and reunite with us."

At once, Kendall turned around, raised her hand, and slapped Frank harshly across the face.

Smack! A loud sound of a slap pierced through the air.

As he did not expect that she would turn around and slap him, he did not have time to defend himself at all. Therefore, he received a solid slap from her.

His handsome face quickly turned red and swollen. His eyes showed his emotional turmoil from anger to conflict, yet they settled on eerie calmness.
