Chapter 1836


    The quiet state of the town was disrupted by the sudden gunshot, and the people on the street let out


    screams of terror before they began running for cover.


    Right then, a group of people darted out of the motel, running after Danrique and his group with guns in


    their hands.


    By then, Francesca was no longer thinking about snatching the ne. After all, saving her own life


    took priority in the situation.


    The few of them stole a car and tried to drive out of the town, but a few ck modified cars soon


    blocked their way. Clearly, the other party was determined to capture Danrique.


    Nevertheless, Danrique gripped the steering wheel tightly, mmed his foot on the elerator, and


    drove straight at them.


    One of the cars instinctively dodged Danrique''s car. With a wless drift, the car''s left wheels lifted into


    the air, and Danrique drove them through the gap.


    Bang!


    The rearview mirror of the car was sent flying, and it was a close shave. They managed to escape the


    barricade.


    Francesca sighed in relief. Just as she was about to speak, Sean suddenly yelled, “Oh my god!”


    At that, Francesca raised her head to look out of the window. A line of cars had formed a wall in front of


    them, blocking their escape route.


    At the same time, more cars wereing from behind them.


    “F*ck, I wouldn''t havee back if I knew this was going to happen,” Francesca grumbled.


    “Are you regretting it?”


    Danrique was still calm and collected as always. After he coldly nced at the row of cars in front of


    them, he then looked at his watch.


    “Extremely,” Francesca huffed. “I risked my life and came back to you, and you repaid my kindness


    with cruelty. Now, you''re getting me involved in your issues...”


    “Answer me. Why do you want this ne?” Danrique questioned. “If you give me a satisfactory


    answer, I''ll give you another hundred million.” “Then will you give me the ne?”


    Francesca quickly asked.


    “No,” came Danrique''s reply without any hesitation.


    “Is that ordinary ne that important? Why are you so stubbornly holding onto it?” Francesca was


    absolutely baffled. “Answer me. If you give me a satisfactory answer, I won''t keep asking you for it


    anymore.”


    At that, Danrique shot her an icy look and fell silent.


    “The ne is the keepsake Mr. Lindberg gave to his first love, so it''s very important to him,” Sean


    blurted out.


    He did not think that matter was anything embarrassing.


    “His first love?”


    Francesca tensed up, and the image of the scene in her dream appeared in her mind.


    Could it be that...


    “Dr. Felch, why are you so adamant about getting the ne?” Sean was equally curious about that

    as well. “Could it be that you—”


    Bang!


    The sound of a gunshot interrupted Sean''s speech.


    Then, a tall andrge middle-aged man stepped forward from the convoy and spoke in Ustranasion,


    “Mr. Lindberg, let''s talk.”


    Danrique nced at his watch again, and he went down from the car.


    “Hey, don''t get out! It''s dangerous!”


    Francesca tried to stop him, but he was already gone.


    Francesca was at a loss for words as she stared at the group of stubborn men.


    What do I do now?


    “Mr. Lindberg, you''re indeed a man with a regal demeanor!”


    The leading middle-aged man did not seem like an assassin. Instead, he seemed more like a


    businessman. There was no trace of hostility in his eyes when he looked at Danrique; they seemed to


    shine with approval instead. Updated at Draмаnоvеls.cоm


    “Mr. Roth, what are you trying to say?” Danrique tly asked.


    “You know me?" The middle-aged man was astonished.


    Roth paled. “You''re impressive. No wonder you''re still soposed. It''s because you have an ace up


    your sleeve!”
