Chapter 2960

"Isn't that Della?" Joan said to Larry in the car.

Why is she here? Larry had his guard up all of a sudden.

"Larry!" Della called out to Larry at once. However, her face went pale when she saw the woman in the car.

"I tried calling you just now but was unable to reach you; Della said cautiously, before glancing at Joan arrogantly.

Then, she continued, "Um, my dad's looking for you" Mr. Duff's looking for me? Larry eyed the woman suspiciously, feeling surprised.

Fred would not look for him if it wasn't anything important. It seemed like something urgent might have happened.

Larry turned around and explained the situation briefly to Joan before getting into the car.

Joan had a worried expression on her face as she watched the car drive away. She knew the Duff family's background and influence very well. Fred wasn't someone to be offended and Joan was feeling ill at ease as she wondered if Larry would be in any danger.

Joan rubbed her hands nervously but she still believed that Larry would be able to handle anything that came his way!

"Why is Mr. Duff looking for me?" Larry asked Della softly while they were walking.

"I'm not sure. Dad didn't tell me,' Della replied swiftly. Meanwhile, Fred was flipping through a newspaper on the sofa in the living room. Even though he appeared to be very relaxed, he was panicking inside his heart.

"Mr. Duff" Larry greeted the man immediately when he entered the living room.

"You're here. Follow me to the study,' Mr. Duff said and stood up, before heading upstairs.

For some unknown reason, Della felt a sense of unease as she looked at her dad's lonesome figure. Did something happen to the company?Or is dad facing any troubles?

Della could not stop pacing to and fro and remained ina fluster.

"Ms. Duff, here, have some water,' the housemaid said as she passed Della a glass of water.

"Oh, wait a minute, do you know if anything has happened to my dad lately?" Della grabbed the housemaid's arm and asked.

The housemaid looked upstairs and was put in a tight spot. Fred had told her not to tell Della about his health condition.

"Tell me!" Della yelled furiously, emitting a cold aura.

The housemaid was startled by Della's reaction and retreated a few steps instinctively. Avoiding Della's gaze, she lowered her head and replied at once, "Mr. Duff is fine. But I think Ms. Duff, you should come home and spend time with your dad more often. He's getting old after all and needs some concern from his children'

Della heaved a sigh of relief at once when she heard that.

"Well, you are just a housemaid and you dare to lecture me?" Della stepped towards the housemaid and said fiercely.

"No, I dare not! Ms. Duff, I'll go prepare food now,' the housemaid said and quickly ran towards the kitchen.

Della did not manage to get the hidden meaning behind the housemaid's words.

In the study, Fred was sitting at his desk with a serious expression on his face, while Larry sat on the sofa, awaiting the man's instructions.

He could not help but worry as he noticed the somber expression Fred had. Did he encounter any difficulties? A glint of concern flashed across Larry's eyes.

"Larry, I need your help with something," Fred cleared his throat and said in a soft voice.

Larry felt that they did not need to stand on such ceremony with each other as they had known each other for such a long time. In fact, if it wasn't for Della, the both of them might have already joined hands in business long ago.

"Della is still young and it's likely that there are things that she wouldn't be able to do well. My health is not so good lately so I can only trouble you. My company is facing some difficulties lately which is causing us huge losses. Can you replace out for me who's behind it?" Fred said softly while glancing at the door.

Larry was shocked to hear that. Who in the world would have the guts to lay hands on Mr. Duff?isn't that starting a losing battle?
