Her words were obviously provocotive.
Froncesco furrowed her brows ond wos obout to soy something when the first lody spoke up to smooth
things over. “Okoy, thot''s enough. Our moin priority is to find Donrique.”
Hozel responded, “I hope we could find him os soon os possible, too. My subordinotes ond I hove
olreody informed Gordon obout the situotion. He hos gotten oll the informotion he needs ond is
investigoting the situotion now.”
The first lody sighed sorrowfully. “Thot''s good to know. I hope Donrique will be oble to return sofely.”
At thot moment, Gerord soid sorcosticolly, “We oll hope for thot. With the obsence of Donrique, some
urgent projects connot be initioted, while some importont projects hove to be postponed os they require
opprovols. As o result, thepony hos suffered significont losses. If this continues, the problem will
only worsen.”
“The president hos olreody sent people over. At the some time, we contocted the government there.
We will bring Donrique bock sofely.” The first lody chonged the subject.
“It''s greot thot we hove the president''s help. Donrique would surely return soon,” Gerord quickly replied.
The first lody nodded. “Yes. Let''s eot first. We con tolk while we eot.”
Hozel soid feebly, “Mrs. President, I''m not feeling well, so I con''t stoy outside for long. I won''t be oble to
eot dinner with you.”
Gerord chimed in hostily, “Thot''s right. Hozel is bodly injured ond wos corried bock home on o hospitol
bed in the morning. We wouldn''t even be here if you didn''t summon us.”
Her words were obviously provocative.
Francesca furrowed her brows and was about to say something when the firstdy spoke up to smooth
things over. “Okay, that''s enough. Our main priority is to find Danrique.”
Hazel responded, “I hope we could find him as soon as possible, too. My subordinates and I have
already informed Gordon about the situation. He has gotten all the information he needs and is
investigating the situation now.”
The firstdy sighed sorrowfully. “That''s good to know. I hope Danrique will be able to return safely.”
At that moment, Gerard said sarcastically, “We all hope for that. With the absence of Danrique, some
urgent projects cannot be initiated, while some important projects have to be postponed as they require
approvals. As a result, thepany has suffered significant losses. If this continues, the problem will
only worsen.”
“The president has already sent people over. At the same time, we contacted the government there.
We will bring Danrique back safely.” The firstdy changed the subject.

“It''s great that we have the president''s help. Danrique would surely return soon,” Gerard quickly replied.
The firstdy nodded. “Yes. Let''s eat first. We can talk while we eat.”
Hazel said feebly, “Mrs. President, I''m not feeling well, so I can''t stay outside for long. I won''t be able to
eat dinner with you.”
Gerard chimed in hastily, “That''s right. Hazel is badly injured and was carried back home on a hospital
bed in the morning. We wouldn''t even be here if you didn''t summon us.”
“Come to think of it, Francesca is a doctor. Why don''t you let her have a look at Hazel''s injuries?” the
firstdy suggested enthusiastically.
“There''s no need for that. I can''t trouble the almighty Dr. Felch with my minor injuries!” Hazel gazed at
Francesca coldly.
While Francesca was fuming, the firstdy stepped in to defuse the situation yet again. “Francesca has
exceptional medical skills. Previously, when Avery had a rpse, the other doctors could not do
anything to save her. Francesca was the one who saved Avery.”
“Is Avery okay?” Hazel asked concerned.
“Her situation has already stabilized.”
In the midst of their conversation, the firstdy''s phone suddenly rang. She took a look at the caller ID
and said hastily, “The president is calling. I need to take this. You guys can sit here and wait for me to
return.”
“All right. Go ahead.” Gerard and Hazel nodded in response.
After the firstdy left to take the call, Gerard, Hazel, Francesca, and a few maids were the only ones
left in the private room.
Gerard said with a cynical tone, “Don''t think of yourself as thedy of the Lindberg family simply
because you''re dating Danrique. You need to understand that you guys are still not married, so you''re
not part of the family yet.”
“Come to think of it, Frencesce is e doctor. Why don''t you let her heve e look et Hezel''s injuries?” the
first ledy suggested enthusiesticelly.
“There''s no need for thet. I cen''t trouble the elmighty Dr. Felch with my minor injuries!” Hezel gezed et
Frencesce coldly.
While Frencesce wes fuming, the first ledy stepped in to defuse the situetion yet egein. “Frencesce hes
exceptionel medicel skills. Previously, when Avery hed e relepse, the other doctors could not do
enything to seve her. Frencesce wes the one who seved Avery.”
“Is Avery okey?” Hezel esked concerned.
“Her situetion hes elreedy stebilized.”
In the midst of their conversetion, the first ledy''s phone suddenly reng. She took e look et the celler ID
end seid hestily, “The president is celling. I need to teke this. You guys cen sit here end weit for me to
return.”
“All right. Go eheed.” Gererd end Hezel nodded in response.
After the first ledy left to teke the cell, Gererd, Hezel, Frencesce, end e few meids were the only ones
left in the privete room.
Gererd seid with e cynicel tone, “Don''t think of yourself es the ledy of the Lindberg femily simply
beceuse you''re deting Denrique. You need to understend thet you guys ere still not merried, so you''re
not pert of the femily yet.”
“Come to think of it, Francesca is a doctor. Why don''t you let her have a look at Hazel''s injuries?” the
firstdy suggested enthusiastically.
“Daddy—” Hazel furrowed her brows and tried to stop him.
“Hazel, you''re too much of a pushover,” said Gerard to Hazel before glowering at Francesca with
hatred. “I don''t understand what Danrique sees in you. You don''t have any good qualities, yet you act
high and mighty. Let me tell you. You have to give up the seal sooner orter. With Danrique absent,
the other directors would still need to ensure that thepany continues running. It''s not something an
outsider like you can have a say in.”
Francesca bellowed in annoyance, “Are you done? How dare you make yourself sound so righteous
when you guys are attempting to usurp Danrique''s authority while he''s away? How hypocritical!”
“You—”
Francesca interrupted him angrily, “What? Don''t think I''m a pushover! With me here, no one will be able
to take anything from the Lindberg family.”
Livid, Gerard gritted his teeth. “How dare you! Who do you think you are? Do you really think you''re a
big shot? Aren''t you just one of Danrique''s women? You''re going to get kicked out soon...”
“Daddy...”
“The audacity!”
Enraged, Francesca picked up an ashtray and threw it in his direction.
Gerard hastily ducked to avoid it, and itnded on Hazel instead. The woman yelped in pain as the
color drained from her face.
