"Just do what I tell you and don't ask too many questions!"
Frank couldn't resist it. The ownership document was deliberately entrusted to him by Daniella and handed over after Edward wanted to run Daniella and Josh's companies.
Frans stepped in and did what Edward asked. Josh and Daniella instruct Frans to keep the files so that the brothers Josh and Daniella have their greed to seize all of his wealth when Edward is in a state of drunkenness, revelry, and playing with women.
Edward's parents also did not want them to use Edward's unconsciousness to divert their wealth. , only Frans knew what was going on in this house. Frans keeps it in a secret room so it is not easy to find.
Then, Frans took out several files about the wealth of the house. Apart from being a household assistant for Josh and Daniella's household, Frans also works in a company owned by Edward's parents. He was entrusted with overseeing one of Edward's parents' television companies. Even so, Frans never did anything bad that harmed the company.
Frans had worked in the family for a very long time. He will never forget what Josh and Daniella gave him when he needed money to heal his son who was suffering from kidney failure. Therefore, he always serves with pleasure without being asked by either Josh or Daniella.
Frans put the files on the table. "Here are the files, sir!"
"Thank you, Uncle Fran!"
Then he checked all the files one by one. Data from the television business has increased significantly. The profit graph from financial data and income has drastically increased from advertising and the increase in the rating of events owned by Edward's parents' company.
Edward held his chin, then he frowned. Before long he frowned, he seemed to be thinking hard to understand the meaning of all the reports that Frans gave. Profit figures rose about seventy-five percent from last year's only forty-five percent. Then the young man turned the file over. Meanwhile, Frans stood beside Edward. Pay attention to the young master.
"Can I help you sir?" asked Frans, knowing Edward's difficulty when he saw the numbers in the files, Edward also did not understand the schemes written on the papers.
"Yes, can you explain it to me, uncle Frans?"
Frans sat across from Edward. "I was ordered to take over the large Mr and Mrs television company instead of young master---"
"Can you just get to the point, Uncle Frans? I don't want to hear anything else, especially when you're pouring your heart out!" cut in Edward, his voice seeming to hate all the ramblings of his housekeeper.
Frans snorted, and Edward relaxed while fiddling with the television channel. He is looking for news about his parent's plane crash. However, no one has broadcast the discovery of bodies or the discovery of plane debris. Only the news is still confusing and there is no definite clarity. He also threw the television remote against the wall until it completely shattered.
"Doesn't our television want to broadcast news about Mommy and Daddy's plane crash?" squealed Edward in annoyance. Frans was quite surprised by the sound of the remote shattering that he stopped compiling the files so that Edward would be clear with his explanation. "Can't uncle finish that, so that all reporters and cameramen are alert with any news?"
"S-sorry Young Master, I will correct it this afternoon."
"Yes, I have! But remember uncle, I don't want this to happen again. Moreover, this is news about their two bosses. Are they that stupid not to broadcast it at all? It's useless if the company's revenue doubles from advertising," said Edward curtly. . There is no news that shows the plane crash of his parents. "But they don't care about the death of their boss at all!"
"Forgive my stupidity, sir. I'll do that later!"
Edward snorted, "All right, now tell me about all the contents of those files!" he said with a chuckle. His face looked annoyed with his eyes not leaving the television screen in front of him.
Frans started to open the financial report file last year, he explained it page by page from the report. All were explained without being missed. Financial statements, changes in capital, profit and loss, and he describes all entities. And Edward listened very seriously.
"Good, that means there's still a lot of money that my parents' companies make!"
"Sorry, what you said? and what do you mean said like that's, Young Master?" asked Fran curiously.
Edward got up from his seat. No need for further explanation. He felt that everything was very clear. "Yes, so I don't have to bother to do such a headache by obeying my parents' orders to run all their businesses and companies!"
"B-but sir, I can only hold one company and the other companies are being controlled by your uncle and aunt. And I'm afraid they--"
"Never mind, Uncle. As long as they are profitable for the company, so don't worry. That means that it means that I don't have to bother to work for those companies. I just need to ask for the profit!" Edward said too narrowly. He didn't know what was going on, what was the nature of all his father and mother's brothers.
"You are too narrow-minded Young Master Edward!" Frank looks very angry. He stood staring intently at Edward. "Have you never been or what and how do they commit crimes in those companies?"
"What do you mean, uncle?"
"If you want to know, you can come to the companies they hold tomorrow! If what you say is true, you can kick me out, Mr. Edward!" said France defiantly.
Edward cleared his throat. "Never mind Uncle, I don't want to argue anymore, I'm tired. And please look at the news on television, if there is progress, please report it to me," Edward said simply walking away.
"Say to me, you're scared, right? and you incompetent with all this!" Frans was already carried away. He just couldn't understand why the sole heir to the business empire of his parents was ignored and allowed to be taken away by all his greedy and cunning brothers.
"Hey... keep your mouth the fuck Old Man!" said Edward very angry to hear the words of Frans who underestimated him. He stepped forward with his hands in his pockets. "You think I would care about all my parents' company? No, old man, I only care about freedom. Freedom that makes me happy and can always make me laugh without having to feel as stressed as you!" Edward continued, pointing at Frans' chest with a little strong pressure.
Then he brought his face closer and sat right in Frans' ear. "So, no matter how hard you try to get me to run the business, I will have no effect. Freedom is my world, not doing business like my parents!" Edward then turned his head away after whispering the words that made Frans a little irritated and annoyed.
In the past, he raised Edward with kindness and love. However, suddenly he was disappointed in the young man who he considered like his own son. "Aren't you afraid of having all those companies took, Young Master?"
Edward stopped walking but didn't turn around. He just glanced while listening to what Frans said.
The housekeeper raised her head. "Even if you want to be free and have fun as you've always done, don't you need a lot of money to make yourself look rich in the eyes of your friends?" said Frans, slightly provoking Edward who heard it.
"How can you be free if you just sit around while they start to take control, you won't have the money to do that. You could even run out of money and be kicked out of this house!"
Degh!
Edward's heart pounded at Frans' reasonable explanation. "What Uncle Frans said is right. But..." unfortunately he ignored all the words of the fifty-year-old man. Just walk away without looking back.
Frank just sighed and shook his head. Then he threw his ass, and sat on the sofa, massaging his forehead. "He's stubborn!" Frans muttered annoyed by Edward's attitude.
