Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 564

Chapter 564

In the afternoon, Frank headed to Coleman Empire Holdings. When those from the company saw Frank visiting Dylan once again, they speculated that Frank might be trying to strike a collaborative deal with Dylan. However, it remained speculation as they had no idea about internal affairs.

Through the collaboration, Frank would meet up with Kendall frequently. However, many had dismissed the speculation, for Kendall was a part of Parker Corporation. If Frank wanted to see Kendall through a collaboration, he could've worked with the Parker Corporation directly. Indirectly, he would be able to see Kendall daily.

All the same, no one could figure out what was on the presidents' minds.

While Frank was waiting for the elevator, many stared at him. Frank never spared them a glance, and his handsome yet stiff face exuded a dispassionate vibe. Those who stared at him felt diffident and looked away.

Soon, the elevator door opened, after which those from the Coleman Empire Holdings instinctively let Frank and his entourage enter the elevator first.

In fact, there was a president-exclusive elevator. However, Frank was the president of the Mendelson Group, which was their archnemesis. As such, Dylan didn't treat him like a guest, nor did he allow Frank to use the exclusive elevator that required a special card.

Frank directly entered the elevator with his bodyguards, and the space instantly felt cramped. The bodyguards stood behind Frank as he had to be at the front all the time.

When the elevator door opened several minutes later, Frank saw Ronnie and Toddy waiting for him. "President Mendelson," the two called out politely.

Frank was startled for a moment, for he had never expected that Dylan would arrange for Ronnie and Toddy to wait for him there.

"President Coleman has asked us to check how well-prepared you are."

Despite the smile on Toddy's face, Frank didn't believe this man was gentle. The people by Dylan's side were all tigers who could swallow others up. Without a word, Frank stepped out of the elevator first, and he was followed by his bodyguards.

"Of course, I'm well prepared. This time, I didn't bring any cash with me. Your president has demanded an exorbitant fee. Without an appointment with the bank, I couldn't possibly get so much cash in a short time. Nonetheless, I've brought a check with me."

Then, he fished out a check from the inner pocket of his coat. It had a figure already written on it, so he passed it to Toddy for examination. After taking a look at the check, Toddy smiled and passed it back to him. Then, he said to Ronnie, "Lead the way for President Mendelson."

Following that, Ronnie motioned for Frank to follow him. Frank squinted his eyes at Ronnie, who used to be the love of Amelia’s life. After Amelia confessed her love for Ronnie back then, he turned her down.

While Frank was glad that Amelia was rejected, he also felt that Ronnie was undiscriminating to think that Amelia wasn't good enough for him. Although Ronnie didn’t say that he was out of Amelia’s league, he turned her down without giving her a chance. At the end of the day, that was no different from despising her.

"Have I offended you in any way, President Mendelson?" Ronnie asked grimly.

Frank refuted coldly, questioning, "Why would you ask that, Mr. Muller?"

Ronnie pressed his lips together and spoke no further. In fact, he had figured out why Frank was glaring at him. It was because Amelia had fallen for him before.

It was through the conversation between Dylan and Kendall that Ronnie found out Frank had feelings for Amelia. After all, he and Dylan would always be seated in the same car, and Dylan had full trust in him. As such, when the married couple chatted in the car, they wouldn't worry about Ronnie finding out about their secrets.

However, the truth was that Ronnie found Amelia to be a wonderful girl, but she wasn't suitable for him. Upon learning that Frank had fallen for Amelia, Ronnie wasn't surprised one bit. After all, they had spent quite a long time together, and Amelia was straightforward, so it was only natural that Frank fell in love with her.

"You're pretty handsome, Mr. Muller," Frank blurted.

Judging from Frank's words, Toddy could tell that the president was finding fault with Ronnie. While leading the way for Frank, Ronnie replied impassively, "I wouldn't call myself handsome in front of you, President Mendelson."

Frank was rendered speechless. When he saw Ronnie and recalled that Amelia had fallen for this guy before, he couldn't help but feel bitter and try to find fault with Ronnie. When Frank passed by Emma's office and didn't see her, he asked, "Where's Miss Finley?"

However, Ronnie didn't reply to him, and Frank didn't mind it. When Ronnie started knocking on the door for him, Frank suddenly said, "You're right, Mr. Muller. I'm indeed more handsome than you are."

Amelia is fond of handsome men, and I'm more good-looking than Ronnie. I don't believe that Amelia won't choose me in the end.

If Amelia found out what was on Frank's mind, she would probably think, How am I supposed to make a choice when you haven't even confessed to me?

Without turning his head, Ronnie kept on knocking on the door. It wasn't until Dylan responded to him that he stopped doing that. Then, he opened the door for Frank and motioned for the jealous man to go in.

Frank shot Ronnie a glance before entering Dylan's office. Meanwhile, Frank's bodyguards were not allowed inside.

Presently, Dylan was looking at the paintings of the child that Frank had drawn. After receiving the paintings from Frank, he kept them in his office. Whenever he had some free time, he would look at the paintings and imagine that the child was still by his side.

Kendall was probably pregnant. The couple truly hoped that the child would come back to them.

When Frank approached Dylan and realized what the other man was looking at, the coldness on his face melted. He pressed his hands against the table and extended his neck to glance at the paintings.

It had only been a short time since he gave the paintings to Dylan, but it felt as though the child left him long ago. There was no denying that he missed the child, but unfortunately, she wasn't his daughter. At the thought of this, he was deluged with a sense of dejectedness.

Suddenly, Dylan kept the paintings of the child. As he scrolled up the paper, he said impassively, "What are you looking at? She's not your daughter."

"I can be her godfather," Frank blurted.

Dylan took a glance at him before carefully keeping the paintings inside the drawer. Frank was pleased that the other man's tone was calm rather than cold, at the very least.

"The godfather of my child can be anyone but you, Frank."

What do you mean?! Frank barked, "Why can't it be me? Don't I have the right? Tell me what I'm lacking. I'll do everything I can so that I'll be the child's godfather."

He had treated the child like his own daughter in the past. Even though he had yet to meet the child, he was still anxious. Since Dylan had recovered, it meant that he and Kendall would possibly have a child soon.

Frank wanted to see the child. Even if he couldn't be the child's biological father, he wouldn't mind becoming her godfather. He reckoned that being a godfather would be sufficient. At the very least, it could make up for the regret that he didn't get to be the child's father.

Dylan glanced at his archnemesis and demanded scornfully, "Frank, what do you think we are? We're enemies. In the past, we were eager to destroy each other. Given our relationship, do you think I'll let you be my child's godfather?"

Frank kept on persuading him by saying, "I can prepare a lot of money for her so that she'll have a grand wedding when she gets married."

Hearing that, Dylan picked up a mug and hurled it at Frank. His daughter wasn't even born yet, but Frank had already planned on marrying his daughter off, which was why he was infuriated.
