Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby (Charlotte and Zachary)

Chapter 2232

“Maybe she didn't want the crowd in the hall to overhear her talking earlier,” Francesca postulated.

“Especially when Monica was around. It seems that the first lady doesn't quite like Monica.”

Layla weighed up Francesca's reasoning and instantly acknowledged it, for the former, too, wasn't that

fond of Monica herself. From her perspective, Monica had always been acting shady, seemingly

shrewd and cunning to the core.

Yet, she knew very well that Monica was merely working for William. Even if William had been

harboring any sort of ulterior motive, he would still have to take Francesca's side for the time being.

After all, both Francesca and Danrique could offer him the protection that he needed.

“Danrique has already been missing for so long. I'm really worried,” uttered Francesca with concern.

“I'm not going to give up any chance, so even if it were a trap, I'd still go check it out.”

“All right, then. I'll go with you,” said Layla as she held Francesca's hand.

The latter shook her head. “No. I can handle it alone. You guard the house. Considering that we don't

have as many bodyguards with us, I'm afraid those two sc*mbags might send someone to steal the

seal.”

“True enough.” Layla bobbed her head upon hearing that. “Sloan and the rest won't be able to manage

on their own. And if those two were to really come after the seal, it'd be a disaster...”

“But with you around, there's nothing more for me to worry about.”

Just when Francesca was speaking, a call came through. It was William, requesting her presence. She Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

then ordered someone to fetch her the medical kit and went on her way.

For the past few days, Francesca had been busy dealing with the horde of her enemies while having all

her thoughts fixated on Danrique. She was understandably moody and preoccupied with troubles, thus

failing to treat William wholeheartedly.

During the visit on that very night, she gave William a check-up right away. Given that William had been

on his medication, his injuries weren't affected, but at the same time, there weren't any improvements

either.

Thus, Francesca performed the treatment and even prescribed him a new course of medicine.

Looking at Francesca's haggard appearance, William knew he had to offer some kind of comfort. “Don't

worry, Francesca. L will be fine...”

“Everyone keeps telling me that, but how can I not worry when he has gone completely radio silent, to

the point where not even Gordon can locate him?” The worried look on Francesca's face didn't abate.

“Actually, have you ever thought about—”

William's voice trailed off just when words began to leap out of his mouth.

“Thought about what?” questioned Francesca curiously.

“O-Oh, it's nothing,” William blurted out, abruptly changing the topic. “Anyway, you shouldn't act alone

while L isn't by your side. If you really have to go out there, take Monica with you.”

“Yes, that's right! I can tag along any time,” Monica hastily chimed in. “By the way, what did the first

lady talk to you about a minute ago? I only realized that she was still speaking to you after I left.”

“Nothing much.”

Truth be told, Francesca detested the way Monica had been behaving toward her. It felt like the latter

was spying on her round the clock.

Furthermore, since the first lady found Monica distasteful, Francesca would never disclose to Monica

her plan of meeting Gerard together with the first lady.

Needless to say, Monica noticed how Francesca was growing wary of her and immediately tried to

explain herself, “Ms. Felch, have I—”

Unfortunately, she had to swallow her words when she saw William shooting her a meaningful glance.

With that, Francesca gave William a few pointers before spinning on her heels and heading home.

Monica straightaway hung her head low in shame. “I suppose.” Coոtent of Drąмąոovеls.cоm

“Now that Francesca's obviously keeping you at arm's length, you should take this time to reflect on

yourself. If this continues, she's not going to bring you anywhere she goes,” fumed William.

“Please forgive me, Your Highness...”

William's heart was filled with uneasiness as those words escaped from his lips.
