Chapter 140 Francis' Pets

Francis paused his steps and turned his head towards Wilfred. His gaze was sharp, as if trying to see through Wilfred.

Wilfred met his gaze candidly. After all, he was speaking the truth.

"Is that so?" Francis muttered thoughtfully, as if thinking about something. Then, he chuckled.

"That's the only connection between us."

Francis withdrew his gaze and looked towards the distant cage that was faintly visible. He said, "Mr. Vaughn, you are a smart man. It's better not to take on cases that shouldn't be taken on, so as not to invite trouble."

Wilfred didn't understand and asked, "The case of Ms. Klaud? It's just a common family dispute. I don't see why I shouldn't take it."

"Mr. Vaughn, it seems that you didn't understand what I said." Francis walked over to a nearby bench, sat down with his legs crossed, and calmly looked at Wilfred.

Wilfred didn't quite get it. After all, he didn't know much about what was going on between Lilian and Francis.

And just then, a large wolf-like dog rushed out from somewhere. Its fur was shining in the sunlight, and it was barking loudly as it ran towards Wilfred.

Wilfred froze, standing still and almost forgetting to react.

In the blink of an eye, the wolf-like dog rushed in front of him, about to bite his leg.

"Eric!"

Francis shouted, and the wolf dog braked suddenly, stopping steadily in front of Wilfred, with its tongue out and drooling at the corners of its mouth.

Wilfred's face turned pale.

"Come here."

The wolf-like dog reluctantly glanced at Wilfred, then wagged its tail and came to Francis, obediently sitting on the ground. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Francis stroked Eric's head with his slender fingers and looked at Wilfred. "Mr. Vaughn, do you understand now?"

Wilfred slowly released his clenched fist, and his palm was all sweating. He forced a smile and replied, "I got it. I won't take on Ms. Rossum's case anymore."

A faint smile finally appeared on Francis's face. He said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Vaughn. Eric is not too well- behaved. Did he scare you?"

"Wilfred glanced at the wolf-like dog. It appeared cute in front of Francis, but when it looked at him, it was like a predator was looking at its prey.

He knew Francis was doing it on purpose."

Maintaining a polite smile, Wilfred replied, "No at all. This dog is quite adorable. Mr. Landau, I didn't expect that you would be fond of dogs."

"Well, I'm not just fond of dogs. I have many other animals as pets. Mr. Vaughn, if you are interested, you can go have a look."

Actually, Wilfred didn't have any interest in this.

But Francis still let Nelson take Wilfred to have a look. And after seeing the "pets" Francis kept, Wilfred could only think of one word to describe this man - domineering!

Francis was so domineering. The visit was just an excuse. His real intention was to intimidate him.

Just by going around in Francis' pets' place, people might even wet their pants out of fear.

These so-called pets had abnormally dim-red eyes. And they didn't just look like cannibal animals. It seemed that they had been trained specially for this purpose.

If a living person was thrown into these animals, these monsters wouldn't leave the person with a full skeleton.

Francis' move was clearly telling Wilfred that he could leave today unharmed, but he might not be able to leave free if he had a lapse in judgment in the future.

...

Lilian nervously sat on the sofa, unsure of what Francis would do to Wilfred.

Courtney and Fabiana were examples. Fabiana didn't do anything wrong, yet Francis still targeted her.

Would Mr. Vaughn be targeted too?'

Just as she thought about this, the bodyguards guarding the door unitedly greeted in low voices, "Mr. Landau."
