Linda thought of the previous events and, despite feeling a bit frightened by Frank Parker, still mustered up the courage to say, "Mr. Parker, thank you so much for what happened earlier. If it weren't for you appearing in time to help Joanna, the consequences would have been unthinkable."
Only after watching Joanna walk away did Frank Parker slowly turn his gaze back.
He turned his head to look at Linda, a cold gaze in his narrow eyes: "No need to be grateful. However, I don't want to see this kind of thing for the second time. Since she is your artist, you have the responsibility to protect her."
"If I hadn't come here tonight, do you think you could bear the consequences of what would happen?"
Linda was startled, and her face changed immediately.
The consequences...
Of course, she could not bear them.
So she was very grateful that she had encountered Frank Parker in such a critical moment and prevented a terrible outcome.
