CHAPTER 665: CHAPTER 665: WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GO?

Half an hour later, Franklin Yates appeared at the bank and even found the bank manager to inform him of the situation, only to be told:

"Mr. Yates, all the deposits under your name were transferred to Ms. Nora Cole’s name three days ago."

Franklin Yates was immediately flustered: "How is that possible? I didn’t authorize any transactions."

"Could it be you completed the transaction and forgot?" the manager asked again.

"Impossible!" Franklin Yates had long wanted to drain the Cole Family’s assets, so how could it be possible for him to transfer the money back to Nora Cole’s name?

Something was wrong!

Franklin Yates couldn’t be bothered to listen to the manager’s explanation and hurried back to the Cole family mansion, only to find that his key wouldn’t open the door.

A bad idea surfaced in his mind.

Could it be that Nora Cole already knew what he had done, so she took all the money under his name?

In a panic, Franklin Yates banged on the door: "Nora? Shelly? Open the door."

"Hurry up and open the door, where the hell did you go?"

His shouting grew louder and more impolite.

After a while, Franklin Yates finally saw a shadow at the main door.

It was Elder Cole.

Standing in the yard behind the door, he shot Franklin Yates a cold glance.

"Dad, you’re home? Sorry, did I disturb your rest? I thought you went out to play chess with your friends."

As usual, Franklin Yates acted extremely humble in front of Elder Cole.

He even tried to explain his earlier loss of control: "I found out my key is broken and couldn’t open the door or call anyone, so I raised my voice."

Seeing that Elder Cole still hadn’t opened the door for him, Franklin Yates began to play the victim.

"Dad, please open the door for me. I just got back from a business trip and haven’t adjusted to the time difference yet!"

But after all those words, all he received was a cold snort from Elder Cole.

"Franklin Yates, I thought you worked diligently all these years and truly intended to spend your life with my daughter. I never expected your wolfish ambitions to try and take away all our family’s assets!"

Sure enough, after handling everything, Nora Cole told Elder Cole about Franklin Yates’s actions and confessed to him, admitting that she hadn’t listened to his advice and stubbornly married Franklin Yates, which led to today’s consequences.

Besides, Nora Cole also told Elder Cole that she brought this situation upon herself, and he didn’t have to feel sad for her.

But how could Elder Cole not feel sad?

After all, she is his daughter. Even if she finally admitted her mistake, as a father, he still felt all her efforts over the past twenty years were in vain.

Upon hearing Elder Cole’s reproach, Franklin Yates immediately realized.

So Nora Cole knew about him secretly transferring their family assets.

Did she take advantage of his time away from the country to transfer the money back?

This damned woman!

They say that even one night as a couple holds a hundred days of grace, and yet, after so many years of marriage, how could she not consider the past affections at all?

Even if he did transfer the Cole family assets, was it necessary to make it known to everyone?

After mentally blaming Nora Cole, Franklin Yates already found an excuse for himself.

"Dad, what are you saying? I’ve spent most of my life with you. Don’t you know my character? Honestly, I only transferred the assets to manage the Cole family business more conveniently."

Yes, he denied it outright, claiming it was for management convenience, leaving Elder Cole without grounds for complaint and even turning the accusation back at him.

"Everything I did was for the development of our entire family. I’ve worked devotedly for our Cole Family. Isn’t it too heartless of you to blame me?"

At this point, Franklin Yates thought he had already won.

But unexpectedly, Elder Cole countered, "Everything you did was for our Cole Family? So you kept so many women outside for the sake of our family too?"
