Chapter 1952


    qAfter closing the door, La drugged Kerrie at once.


    The focus in Kerrie''s eyes faded away as she began removing her clothes.


    Without hesitation, Francesca changed into Kerrie''s outfit and allowed La to dress her up as Kerrie.


    Then, La helped Kerrie put on Francesca''s gown and left her sleeping on the sofa before the two of


    them exited the room.


    “Would people notice?” Francesca was worried.


    La urged, “We don''t have time to think about that now. The ambnce is already here. Hurry up. By


    the time they found out about Kerrie, we''d already left the presidential pce with the ambnce.”


    “Okay then.”


    Francesca said nothing else and followed La out of the room.


    At that time, Heidi and Samantha were still guarding the door. They didn''t suspect anything when La


    and “Kerrie” came walking out.


    Samantha even turned to make sure “Francesca” was still lying on the couchzily like she always did.


    However, due to the angle, all she could see were her legs and the hem of her gown.


    Francesca trailed behind La in a calm demeanor. After all, that was not the first time she had done


    something like that. Besides, La''s disguising skills were perfect. Though they didn''t have much time


    to touch up on the details, it was still enough to deceive the eyes of the average person.


    The duo reached the corner of the long corridor and was about to head out from another corridor when


    suddenly, Hazel and the others came walking toward them.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    Panicking, Francesca instinctively lowered her head.


    La, on the other hand, remained calm as she led Francesca past them.


    All of a sudden, Hazel called out to them, “Wait.”


    The two of them could only stop in their tracks. Maintaining herposure, La lifted her head and


    smiled at Hazel. “Can I help you, Ms. Atkinson?”


    “Who is she?” Hazel stared at Francesca, who was disguised as Kerrie.


    “She''s Kerrie, the nurse of the Lindberg family. She was just transferred back here from M Nation,”


    introduced La, sounding as normal as possible.


    “A nurse? Can she speak Erihalean?” Hazel fixed her eyes on Francesca.


    “No. Ms. Cece can''t speak Erihalean, too. That''s why we transferred Kerrie back to look after her,”


    La exined.


    “I see.” Hazel gave Francesca onest stare before looking away and saying politely, “Don''t mind me,


    I''m just curious. Please, carry on.”


    “Well then, please excuse us.” La bowed courteously and left with Francesca.


    Though Francesca didn''t say a word throughout the whole exchange, she looked quiteposed.


    However, she still sensed that Hazel seemed to have noticed something.


    “Don''t worry. She''s dying to see you leave. Even if she notices something, she won''t say anything,”


    whispered La.


    Francesca pondered about it and agreed with La. Indeed, her departure was great news to Hazel,


    so thetter would never expose her.


    Meanwhile, Hazel approached the lounge and saw Heidi knocking on the door from a distance away.


    “Ms. Cece? Is everything all right in there? Ms. Cece?”


    What answered her wasplete silence. Both Heidi and Samantha exchanged a nce and were


    about to push the door open when Hazel called out, “What are you doing?”


    “Ms. Atkinson, Ms. Cece has been in there for a long time, and there isn''t any noise. We''re worried, so


    we wanted to go in and have a look,” Heidi exined.


    Hazel grinned. “She''s probably asleep. She''s always sleepy, isn''t she? I was thinking of checking on


    her too, but now it seems we should just let her rest. Don''t disturb her.”


    Upon finishing her sentence, she asked two of her subordinates to stay behind and ordered them, “I''m


    going to the main hall to find Mr. Adams and Mr. Lindberg. The two of you stay here, and if there''s


    anything, notify me.”


    “Yes, Ms. Atkinson.”


    Before leaving in a hurry, Hazel nodded at Heidi and Samantha as a sign of goodbye.


    The two bodyguards had no choice but to wait outside since Hazel had said so.


    In the meantime, Francesca and La finally reached the back hall and were about to leave when


    Francesca caught a glimpse of Danrique through a window by ident.


    He was sitting elegantly on the sofa with his side profile facing the window as he listened to what Frank


    was saying. His bodynguage showed an obvious sign of annoyance, and there was concealed anger


    within his eyes.
