Come on Daddy!

Chapter 503 My Dad Has Gone for Long!

Chandler was so anxious but he still had to remain calm, "If I make an appointment now, when can I meet Mr. Lee?"

"Well, if you make an appointment today, you will have chance to meet him half a month later." While speaking, the front desk lady checked the appointment schedule.

'Half a month? The Linder Group will be doomed after that!'

Chandler could never afford to wait for so long. He turned around to leave, looking worried.

Seeing that, the front desk lady said to his back, "Mr. Linder, do you still need an appointment?"

However, Chandler still hurried to leave as if he heard nothing. He then sat on his car and said to the chauffeur, "Take me to the house of Francis Lee."

For him, that was his last hope. If he failed to meet Bright, he could only ask Bright's father for help.

Chandler kept gasping on the way there. He still looked overcast when he reached the house of Francis.

As he pressed on the ring button, the butler came over to receive him, "Hello sir, who are you?"

"I am the father of Rose, the wife of Bright. I happen to go for a business trip in City J so I am here to visit Mr. Francis." While speaking, Chandler was also carrying some luxurious gifts.

"Oh, glad to meet you, Mr. Linder. But Mr. Francis needs rest as he felt ill during the early winter. So he went to the hot spring vacation villa with Mrs. Francis." The butler said apologetically.

Hearing that, he turned to be even colder than the chilling winter. He was rendered so desperate after encountering so many difficulties recently.

Actually, he had been living a smooth life since he was born though his father once blamed him for marrying Joy. But Joy was pregnant at that time. So his father still admitted their marriage.

But now he couldn't even meet his own daughter and his son-in-law. Even Francis had gone on vacation. The crisis of the Linder Group really sucked all his energy. Now he was rendered tired, dizzy and even a bit suffocated.

"When they will be back? Can I go to visit them in the villa?" Chandler mustered up courage to ask.

"Sorry, they won't be back until it gets warmer. Besides, Bright has an order that no guest is allowed to visit them." The butler said as Bright once told. Then he continued, "Mr. Linder, do you want to come in for a cup of hot tea?"

"No, thanks." Chandler shook his head and left.

Chandler then got back to his car. Though the car was equipped with heater, he still felt chilling cold all over.

"Mr. Linder, where shall we go now?" The chauffeur saw from the mirror that Chandler leaned against the seat with his eyes closed. He looked exhausted.

Chandler didn't answer. Nor did the chauffeur dare to ask more.

After quite a while, Chandler told the chauffeur to take him to the Ginkgo Villa. Since he couldn't meet Bright in person, he had no choice but to wait beside his villa. He deemed that he might still have a chance.

Of course, Bright was aware that Chandler was waiting outside the villa. So he still refused to meet him unless he got the permission from Rose. For Bright, he had dozens of ways to keep Chandler out of his sight.

Even Joy came to the Ginkgo Villa herself to wait. Looking at Chandler's haggard face and bloodshot eyes, she felt so sorry for him.

"You still haven't met Mr. Lee? Rose still doesn't want to see you?" Joy asked with tearful eyes.

"That's all because of you!" Chandler grabbed her shoulder so hard that she even felt pain, "Sophie is good for nothing and she brings such a great impact on our family! Now Rose is the only one whom we can rely on! And only she could save us! Since now you are here, get to apologize to her face to face! Only when she forgives you can we have a chance to meet Bright. Only in that case could we bail out the Linder Group!"

Joy frowned, "But Chandler, Rose doesn't even view us as her parents…She won't help us."

"What? What did you say?" obviously, Chandler was rendered shocked and mad, "Now we are on the edge of collapse! Stop talking nonsense! Let me tell you, I am the father of Rose Linder! If you failed to dissipate her anger, I would definitely cut off all your financial support! If the group collapsed, you, the noble Mrs. Linder, would lose your prestigious life forever!"

Chandler pushed her towards the well-decorated openwork iron gate, "Now, go to apologize to her face to face!"

Half of her arm was rendered painful when she bumped onto the gate. She bit her lips hard so as to hold back her tears.

At this moment, Peter came over with a black umbrella, "Mr. and Mrs. Linder, this way, please. Mrs. Lee is expecting you."

Hearing that, Chandler hurried to grab the bar of the gate and turned to be thrilled, "Really?"

When the gate was opened gradually, he finally realized that it was not a dream.

Chandler and Joy went all the way through into the villa. Everything they saw really startled them. The Ginkgo Villa was exactly a fairyland instead of a mere manor as if the hosts living here were prince and princess.

When they reached the house, Peter led them in and they entered the parlor after changing their shoes, where Rose was sitting opposite them, looking calm when seeing their arrival.

"Rose…" Chandler called her name kindly.

"Mr. Linder, please take a seat and have a cup of tea." Rose lifted up a glass of tea from the table and took a sip.

Chandler felt chilled indeed. So he took a sip of the hot tea and said, "Rose, I am your father. Please don't address me as Mr. Linder. That really hurts me. I know that your mom has said harsh words to you and it hurt you. So I made her here apologize to you."

Chandler gave Joy a tug, who still remained silent, hoping that she could apologize sincerely.

"Apology isn't needed." Roes didn't care and continued, "I hope that both of you can stop pestering me from now on."

"Rose, we are not pestering you! I am your dad! And my company is now facing a crisis. I just want to ask you and Bright for help. Besides, you will still inherit the Linder Group in the future. The damage of the group does no good to you!" Chandler couldn't help being anxious.

"But it does no harm to me." Rose answered calmly, "I don't want the Linder Group. Just leave it to your daughter, Sophie Linder. I think she needs it better than me."

"Rose, you…" Chandler tried hard to suppress his words to rebuke her for being heartless, "Sophie is no more qualified to be my daughter. If it weren't because of that idiot, the Linder Group would not have

been in such a crisis! Believe me, you will be the only inheritor of the Linder Group. If you don't trust me, I can have my will drafted immediately. And I will make you the only one who can inherit all my property. So could you please ask Bright for help to bail dad out?"

"Dad? Do you still deem yourself my dad? You should be aware that your only daughter is Sophie! My dad has gone for long!" Though Rose tried to hold back her anger, she still lost control when hearing that Chandler had been asking for help in the name of her father.
