Chapter 1818


    “How could you threaten me like this?” Fury surged through Francesca.


    “Ehm...” Prince William, who coincidentally entered the lounge, froze for a moment when he overheard


    their conversation. Worry was written all over his face.


    “Your Highness.” Sean immediately greeted Prince William and gestured for Kerrie to do something.


    “Have some water, Dr. Felch.” Kerrie tried defusing the tension by giving Francesca a ss of iced


    lemon water.


    Francesca was about to explode with rage, but she suppressed her anger to avoid a confrontation with


    Danrique.


    “You look mad. What''s wrong?” Prince William took a nce at Danrique and asked.


    “I''m all right.” Danrique tugged his cor and continued drinking his iced water.


    “You look pale. Are you still having a fever?” Prince William showed his


    concern.


    “Mr. Lindberg doesn''t feel well because his body temperature fluctuates throughout the day,” Sean


    exined. “We would appreciate it if you could assist us when we need help at the banquetter, Your


    Highness.”


    “I''m sure Mr. Lindberg can handle the situation well. He’s a steady man," Prince William said modestly.


    “Besides, he should be in the limelight. I shouldn''t steal his thunder.”


    “But...”


    “Remove your shirt right now. I''ll perform acupuncture on you.”


    Francesca noticed Danrique did not look well. It seems the venom could cause a person to be


    agitated. It might even turn the victim into someone aggressive.


    Danrique finally cooperated with Francesca instead of giving her a hard time. He also felt thattely, he


    had been emotionally unstable.

    Francesca started sticking needles into his body once he stripped his shirt to his waist.


    Sweat droplets gradually slid down his chest and dripped on the white shirt.


    “They''ve arrived, Sir,” one of Danrique''s subordinates came into the lounge and announced.


    Prince William''s expression turned grim. He gently clutched his pants, looking a little nervous.


    “There''s no need to rush!” Danrique shut his eyes and tried to regain hisposure.


    “You can leave in five minutes.” Francesca took a nce at her watch afterpleting the acupuncture


    session.


    Every second of the five-minute wait was unbearable for them as they were afraid of offending that


    special someone.


    All of a sudden, someone knocked on the door. Sean went to open the door and saw Gary standing


    outside. “Mr. Anderson!”


    Gary said in a soft voice, “Pastor is here. Edward would like to invite Mr. Lindberg and Prince William


    over.”


    “We''ll be right there in a minute,” Sean replied with a smile.


    “All right.” Gary then took a nce at the lounge and reminded Sean, “Don''t make Pastor wait for too


    long. He has a notoriously bad temper.”


    Sean looked at Danrique and read his signals. He then said to Gary calmly, “Mr. Lindberg is not


    particrly good-tempered either. He doesn''t like people to rush him.”


    Sean''s reply rendered Gary speechless.


    Sean tried to defuse the tension by saying, “We''ll be there in a while.”


    “All right. I''ll wait outside then.” Gary lowered his head and stepped out of the lounge.


    Francesca removed the needles five minutester. She then touched Danrique''s forehead with her


    hand and noticed that his body temperature had finally returned to normal.


    After washing his face and changing into new pair of clothes, he stepped out of the lounge with his


    entourage.


    Francesca kept mum but nodded her head.


    Now that everyone was gone, the lounge instantly became quiet. Only Kerrie stayed back to


    apany Francesca.


    A few female bodyguards were also guarding the lounge by the door.


    Now that Danrique was away, Francesca felt less uptight. She leaned on the couch carefreely and


    munched on an apple.


    But soon, she noticed something was amiss.


    Something seemed to have jolted the birds in the trees, causing them to take flight. Updated at

    She also heard a weird sound from upstairs and felt a vibration on the ceiling.


    “What are you looking at, Master


    Felch?” Kerrie asked out of curiosity.


    “Of course, there are people up there. It''s a hall,” Kerrie did not understand why Francesca was being


    so paranoid.
