Maria knew the reason, but she still wanted to ask.
Unless she heard it from Frank Parker himself, she would always feel unconvinced.
She was reluctant to leave like this.
As long as it wasn't because of that person, she could change anything.
Although the tone of Frank's previous conversation with her was cold and distant, he had, after all, taken her feelings into account and hadn't been too harsh.
Until she asked this question.
As soon as she uttered the words "Ms. Joanna," Maria immediately felt a sudden chill coming from Frank, even his gaze seemed to freeze over with a layer of frost. At that moment, an intense coldness emanated from him.
Furthermore...
What terrified Maria was that she saw a faint hint of murderous intent in Frank's suddenly cold eyes.
Maria shuddered on the spot.
With wide frightened eyes, she timidly said, "Mr. Parker, did I... Did I say something wrong?"
