Chapter 2040


    Upon noticing how serious La was, Anthony walked over, drew the curtains, and sat opposite her.


    "Why are you acting so secretive? What is it?"


    "Mr. Lincoln has shortlisted a few foundations and ns to embark on a field trip to inspect them, so


    he''ll be away during this period. Meanwhile, I have to keep an eye on the orphanage to prevent Chrono


    and his men fromying their fingers on the children. That means you have to take care of Francesca."


    "Sure. No problem!" Anthony agreed without hesitation as he had always wished he could stay by


    Francesca''s side and protect her all day.


    "Hold on. Let me finish." La gave him another side-eye before continuing, "Listen carefully. I have


    two missions for you, and you must aplish them"


    Anthony pricked up his ears. "Go on." "First, you need to find out Prince William''s character. You''ll also


    need to investigate the people around him to see if they have ulterior motives. Secondly, should


    Danrique''s mene to look for Francesca, you must inform me before making any decision. I want to


    meet them personally." It was not difficult to tell that La was serious about these two missions.


    "I''ll have no problem aplishing the first mission, but the second mission-is that necessary?"


    Anthony pouted to express his dismay.


    He continued, "That dude says he wants to marry Francesca, yet he''s constantly involved in scandals.


    He didn''t even bother toe to S Nation to look for her personally. This means he doesn''t even care


    about Francesca. Why do you still want to meet him?"


    "You know nothing. Just shut up and do as I say." La was running out of patience.


    "Fine." Anthony was reluctant but dared not go against La''s instructions.


    "Here, take this." La gave him an exquisite silver gun.


    "This wille in handy should emergencies happen."


    "But I''m not good with guns," Anthony said sheepishly while retrieving the gun. "Besides, I''ve not killed


    anyone before. I''m scared..."


    "Didn''t you say you''re a man?" La shot daggers at him. "Have you not learned a thing or two after


    living with us for so many years?"


    "Give the young man a break." Suddenly, Lincoln walked in and defended Anthony. "He''s good with


    "How dare you me me? It''s all your fault since you''re the one who pampered him." La looked up


    at Lincoln with a scowl. "You two have fun talking. I''m going back to my room now.”


    Before leaving, La pointed at Anthony and said, "Remember what I said!"


    Got it," Anthony responded reluctantly.


    "I understand you need to obey La and protect Francesca, but I want you to take good care of


    yourself too." Lincoln expressed his care more affectionately.


    He gently patted Anthony''s injured arm and said, "Look at you. What if the bullet had hit your body or


    brain instead of your arm? Have you thought of the consequences?"


    "It''s different. Francesca''s life is more precious than mine," Anthony blurted out with a chuckle.


    "Don''t you dare say that," Lincoln growled in a deep voice. "You two are equally important. It''s your


    duty to protect her, but you must watch out for yourself too!" Anthony was stunned for a bit as he had


    rarely seen such a serious expression on Lincoln''s face. Eventually, the young man nodded repeatedly

    and said, "All right, all right. Got it." Reаd at Dramanovеls


    Before leaving, Lincoln gave him another pat on his shoulder.


    "Got it, Mr. Lincoln!"
