“Your Highness.” Monica gently patted William's arm. Only then did he return to his senses and shift his
gaze to Layla. “Don't worry, Ms. Layla. Since Francesca is carrying Mr. Lindberg's child, those people
are more unlikely to harm her.”
“Didn't you say that they would cut off Francesca's food supplies? That's harming her! She's pregnant
and she won't last long if she doesn't eat and drink.” Layla sounded somewhat impatient.
“Everything will be fine until Gordon returns. You don't have to worry too much. Maybe you should go
back and get sufficient rest. We'll discuss the plan when Gordon arrives,” William assured.
“What a shrewd person you are, Your Highness.” With that, Layla left in a fit of anger.
“Um... What does she mean?” Monica was at a loss as she watched Layla leave.
Saying nothing, William lowered his head and continued to sip his tea.
Sloan chased after Layla and asked in a low voice, “Ms. Layla, what's wrong with you?”
“Can't you tell? Once he knew that Danrique was still alive, he just sat aside and did nothing. He's now
standing on the sideline, waiting for Gordon to come up with a plan. This kind of person is not only
shrewd but also calculating!”
Sloan was stunned by her words. “Are you sure? I can tell he was quite anxious and had been racking
his brain to save Ms. Felch. He even called us over.”
“That's because he was worried that if something happened to Francesca, no one could cure his leg Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
anymore. He summoned us to think of a way to save Francesca but stopped taking any move after he
found out that Danrique was still alive and Gordon was already on his way back here.”
Layla paused before continuing, “He previously helped Hazel to expose Mrs. President and also
created an uprising of public opinion. Probably he had spent a hefty sum on that. So once he knows
that Danrique will save Francesca, he just sits aside and does nothing. This person is shrewd and
scheming. He does things carefully and always weighs the pros and cons of the matter before getting
himself involved.”
Layla shook her head and let out a sigh. “Luckily, the person Francesca falls in love with is not him.
Otherwise, it would drive me crazy.”
“Don't be mad, Ms. Layla,” Sloan comforted. “He has helped us a lot this time. We can't blame him for
not giving his best. After all, life has not been easy for him. He has many responsibilities and needs to
leave himself a backup plan. Besides, Ms. Felch is Mr. Lindberg's woman. Mr. Lindberg is supposed to
be the person to save her. It's fine if he holds back after knowing that Mr. Lindberg is still alive and as
long as Ms. Felch can return safely.”
“You're so kind. Francesca went all out to save him before, and Danrique had done a lot for him too.
How can he be so particular, so mean?”
“That's nothing. Francesca risked her life to save him,” Layla said scornfully.
“That's true.” Sloan's expression darkened. “Mr. Lindberg might have been forced to help him, but it
was different for Ms. Felch. She helped him because she valued their friendship. If it were me, I would
give Ms. Felch my life, not to mention those little possessions.” Coոtent оf Draмaոovеls.cом
