Chapter 260 It Was Like Hurting Each Other

Chapter 260 It Was Like Hurting Each Other

Francis was shocked when he heard the news. He had not expected such a result.

Holding back his anger, he asked, "What about Bright? What's his attitude?"

Francis wondered how his son would react.

"Mr. Francis, To put it mildly, Brother Bright respected Rose. To put it bluntly, he does everything she wants him to do." Lina was very crafty. She knew how to discomfort Mr. Francis.

Francis did not speak, but he sighed.

She twitched her lips a little triumphantly when she heard him sigh, and she knew she had hit the point.

"Mr. Francis, Zoe is Ms. Hallie's daughter. The relationship between Brother Bright and Ms. Hallie has been lukewarm for so many years. I have persuaded Brother Bright to forgive Zoe's carelessness for sake of their relationship, but Brother Bright and Rose have made up their minds... I don't know what to do, so I have to call you for advice..."

Lina pretended to try her best, "Mr. Francis, I am incompetent. I can't persuade Brother Bright, and I can't help Zoe. They are brother and sister, and they are hurting each other by doing this. It will make Ms. Hallie sad if she knows this and the outsiders will laugh at them... Mr. Francis, what shall I do?"

"It's not your fault. You did your best. It was Bright... Where are you now?" Francis changed the subject in the middle of his words.

"In City H." Lina stopped crying.

"Wait there, I'll call you later." Francis hung up the phone.

Lina held the phone and hooked her lips. She didn't believe that no one could handle Rose.

Rose dared to do this to Zoe, she would see how the Lee family would deal with Rose.

Francis also felt upset. He didn't know what Bright would do.

After some hesitation, he called Bright. After more than ten seconds, Bright answered the phone, "Dad, what's wrong?"

"You brat, can't I call you for nothing?" Francis shouted.

"Dad, if you're coming to me about Zoe, there's nothing to talk about." How could Bright not know the reason for Francis's call?

No sooner had he released Lina than his father, who had called him only twice during his time at City H, called him.

And he called him right after Zoe's accident.

"Watch your attitude." Francis was somewhat displeased by what he had said.

"Dad, you know your son. There are some things that cannot be spared." Bright interrupted Francis, denying him the chance to talk about Zoe. "I'm driving, and that's it."

"Hey... Bright..." Francis was so angry that he threw the phone away.

He hadn't said anything before his son hang up the phone. Couldn't his son leave him some face?

Hallie brought her freshly-made tea. "What's wrong with you? Why frown? Is there anything wrong?"

She put the tea away and sat down. "The doctor advised you to relax and don't think too much."

"Hallie, I have to go to City H." Francis thought about it and decided that it was the only way.

He must go to City H to have a face-to-face talk with his son about Zoe, otherwise no one could help Zoe.

"Why go to City H? You miss Bright?" Hallie laughed at him.

"I indeed go get him." Francis looked at Hallie, not wanting to tell her what happened right now, so as not to worry her, "Book a ticket to City H for me. No, take a private jet."

Although the Lee family had a private plane, they usually chose to take a passenger plane, except for special circumstances.

"It's afternoon now. Why don't you go tomorrow morning?" Hallie thought it was not in a hurry.

"Go get the ticket." Francis motioned to her.

Hallie had to get ready, and then she came down the stairs with a small luggage and some clothes.

"I'll go with you, or I will be worried." Hallie just said she wanted to go with him.

Although she didn't understand why Francis had chosen to go to City H at such a time, and in such a hurry, she believed it must be something important. There were always some disputes between the father and the son, and her accompany would appease Francis.

"Save the troubles. You'd better stay at home." Francis wanted to solve Zoe's problem by himself and then come back to tell her.

"I cannot obey you this time, Francis. I can only be at ease with you." Hallie insisted on going with him.

Francis could only nod and drive with her to the airport where the private jet was parked. It was not far, but it was a 20-minute drive.

Once they arrived at the airport, everything was ready, and they would fly to City H in ten minutes.

At City H, after getting off the plane, Francis told Hallie about Zoe on the way. After all, she would know it when she saw Lina and Bright later.

So, it'd be better for her to know the story from him, not from others.

Hallie said nothing but squeezed Francis's hand, while Francis reached over her shoulder and asked her to lean against him.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Zoe won't be wronged." Francis held her shoulder.

Hallie nodded in his arms. "But don't get biased if Zoe has done that. I hope she can take the blame for what she did, instead of our fixing it for her, which is not good for her."

"I see." Francis comforted her, "I don't think Zoe would do such a thing. There must be some misunderstanding."

"I hope it's just a misunderstanding." Hallie hoped so.

They picked up Lina and went to Asgard Lake Community to look for Bright.

When Bright saw her father, he twirled his thin lips and said, "I didn't expect you to come so soon."

Francis snorted coldly, not giving him a good look.

"Well, dad, I can't welcome you to come to my home with you looking like this." Bright stood in front of the door, without any intention to let Francis in.

"It's the same talking about it at the door." Francis didn't force Bright to make way.

"Bright, your father is old and in poor health. He has taken two hours to fly here and is very tired. Do you bear to let him stand by the door?" Hallie twisted her eyebrows.

"I'm not the one who made him fly here for two hours." Bright's cold eyes scanned Lina behind them.

"Brother Bright, Zoe is the daughter of Mr. Francis and Ms. Hallie, and they have the right to know about it." Lina ventured.
