Chapter 1950


    “Abandoned wife?”


    Francesca couldn''t help but chuckle when she heard the unfamiliar phrase.


    “In this world, all kinds of rtionships are based on equal exchange, including love. Now, you used


    your young and charming appearance in exchange for Danrique''s love for you, but all this will expire


    one day. Once you begin to decline, everything will change, and there''s no way you''d still get to enjoy


    his love. If I were you, I could at least get along with him peacefully due to my family background. But


    as for you, you’d end up getting abandoned since you do not have any backing. Perhaps you''d die, or


    perhaps you''d be put in jail and live a life worse than death. It''s also possible that you''d be given as a


    gift to some other man...”


    “Are you done?” Annoyed, Francesca interrupted her, “I thought you''ve chosen Mr. Adams as your


    man. Why do you still concern yourself with our rtionship?”


    “It''s not toote if you choose to back out now. Or else—” Hazel put her wine ss down and closed in


    on Francesca, attempting to threaten her.


    However, before she could finish her sentence, the sound of knocking on the door interrupted her.


    Then, Gerard''s voice came from outside. “Hazel, pleasee out.”


    Hazel shot Francesca a cold re before getting up to head out.


    When Hazel opened the door, Francesca caught a glimpse of Gerard standing outside while wearing a


    grim expression. Moreover, he was staring at Hazel with a stern look in his eyes.


    Francesca had a rough understanding of what was going on. Gerard wanted Hazel to marry Frank, but


    Hazel was still in love with Danrique, which led her to pressure Francesca into giving up.


    Noticing what his daughter had in mind, Gerard came in time to stop her.


    Francesca was pretty sure that was the case.


    As for the reason that Gerard sent someone to kidnap her previously was probably to create an


    opportunity for his daughter to pursue Danrique. Frank hadn''t offered them an olive branch at that time,


    after all.


    They ced their focus on Danrique, thinking that once Francesca was out of the picture, Hazel would


    be able to marry the man.


    If that was true, Gerard might also be the one who sent someone to knock Francesca and Eva


    unconscious during the banquetst time.


    Does Danrique know about all this?


    Just as Francesca was mulling over her thoughts, there was once again a knock on the door. Someone


    had brought gowns over for Francesca to choose from.


    Francesca randomly chose one and was about to send them away when one of the maids asked her


    with a strange voice, “Miss, would you like me to help you change into the gown?”


    Francesca lifted her eyes to nce at the maid and reacted almost immediately. “Okay. You can stay.


    The others may leave.”


    “Noted.”


    The other maids heeded her words and left the room.


    The maid locked the door and said to Francesca in a strained voice, “It''s me!” “I know.” Francesca


    sized La up before teasing her, “Ms. La, it’s amazing that you don''t look weird at all when


    disguised as a young maid in her thirties.”


    “Why of course. I''m pretty by nature.”


    La twisted her hips and posedcently, obviously pleased with herself.


    “Francesca, I''ve found a way to get you out of here. Just say the word, and I''ll bring you out.”

    Francesca felt inexplicably uneasy at that moment, causing her to stutter nervously.


    “I...” Francesca was a little hesitant.
