Chapter 217 Mastermind (Part Two)

It was late afternoon and Andy was in her apartment. Brimming with anxiety, she looked pale and haggard.

Frank's warning echoed in her mind, fear clutching at her heart.

'Should I just sit still and wait for William to put me behind the bars? Is that what I should be doing? No way! I should try to escape,' she thought and her eyes lit up.

Determined to free herself from this misery, she rushed to her bedroom. Taking out her suitcase, she tossed her clothes and other valuables into it. 'This will do,' she thought and let out a sigh.

Dragging the suitcase, Andy hurried through the living room. As she thought she had gotten away from the trouble, a faint smile crept onto her face. As soon as she opened the door, her smile froze.

"Miss Duan, where do you think you are going?" Archer asked, his eyes twinkling with humor.

He was accompanied by several men. She knew who he was; Archer Song.

But what was he doing here?

Feigning indifference, she said, "Who are you? And why are you here? "

"What if I am here to bring you an invitation, Miss? I am taking you to my place as a guest," Archer replied, a mischievous smile shone in his eyes. Turning to his men, he ordered, "Take her away!"

"Yes, sir!"

Obligingly, two men moved forward. One caught her left arm and the other caught right. With a thud, the suitc

out, holding his children in his arms, he had a smug look on his face. They were surrounded by a group of doctors, assistants, and bodyguards.

"Daddy looks like a handsome celebrity with so many people following him!" Elissa commented, leaning close to him.

"Ha ha..." William laughed heartily. His daughter had a way with words.

"Dad, have you recovered completely?" Alick asked, concern etched on his face.

"Yes, I am completely fine now," he assured.

"Mr. Lan, please take care of yourself," the vice president of the hospital said, catching up with them. "Avoid touching water. Give it a few more days to heal completely."

"I will keep that in mind. Thank you, doctor." William nodded.

"Thank you, uncle!" Alick thanked the vice president.

"Thank you, uncle!" Worried about being outdone by her brother, Elissa couldn't help but repeat her brother's words.

"Ha ha, you both are so adorable! I have never seen such polite kids before!" the vice president said, smiling.

"Mary..." It suddenly occurred to William that she wasn't with them. He turned around but she was nowhere in sight. However, at the end of the crowd, he caught sight of her. She was standing beside a car, talking and laughing heartily to Barry.

William's eyes widened and darkened. 'When did Barry come here?' he couldn't help but wonder.
