Chapter 2051


    Francesca nced at her watch. “Ten minutes.”


    “Thank you!” Sloan followed Francesca to her car. "Mr. Lindberg sent us to protect you, Ms. Felchhe


    added nervously.


    Francesca nodded. “Hmm. And?”


    “A man in ck intended to assault you two nights ago but we beat him.”


    Sloan spoke as if he was making a report to Sean.


    “So it was you who have been helping me from the shadows! I''ve been wondering why it has been so


    peacefultely. It appears that Chrono and his friends did not leave S Nation.” Realization dawned on


    Francesca.


    Sloan nodded. “That''s right. That is why you must be careful and watch out for your safety.”


    “I will, thank you,” Francesca said. “Did Danrique not summon you back?”


    “He didn''t,” Sloan answered seriously. “We have been following you since the day you left and only


    found your whereabouts after several days of


    digging.”


    Francesca’s expression hardened. “Who asked you to investigate me? Danrique?”


    “Not at all!” Sloan exined hastily. “Sean had us protect you from the shadows, but we did not know


    where you are, so we just—”


    “All right,” Francesca interrupted him. “Your mission isplete. You may return now.”


    “No, we have not received the order to return,” Sloan protested solemnly. “Besides, our mission is not


    “What mission?” Francesca asked casually.


    “To... protect you.” Almost letting slip something secretive, Sloan changed tact at the critical moment.


    “Please don''t be angry with Mr. Lindberg, Ms. Felch. He seems to care for you very much.”


    “If he cared for me, he wouldn''t have interminable ties with that Hazel.” Francesca grew angry at that


    thought. “If he cared for me, he would have flown to me long ago to exin instead of sending you to


    be his messengers.” “No, it’s not like that—” “Enough.” Francesca did not wish to speak further with


    Sloan. “Bring these men back to Xendale. Stop wasting your time here.”


    “Ms. Felch—”


    “Get out of the car.” Francesca curtly chased him away.


    Sloan did not dare to argue with her so he got off the car grumpily.


    Then, Francesca added, “If Danrique asks, tell him I forced you to return. He wouldn''t me you then.”


    “Ms. Felch—'' Sloan was about to say something else but Francesca sped away, leaving him to sigh


    helplessly while looking at the departing silhouette of her truck.


    The bodyguard beside Sloan could not resist but remark, “Didn''t Sean ask you to convince Ms. Felch to


    apologize to Mr. Lindberg, Sloan? Howe you were kicked out after saying barely two sentences?”


    Sloan appeared morose. “I can fight onmand, but it is exceedingly difficult for me to convince


    women, especially Ms. Felch.”


    “Err...” The bodyguard seemed to pity him. Having learned her temper after following and protecting


    Francesca for a while, they knew their mission was more difficult than fighting.


    Spurred by that thought, she added Danrique’s number to her blocked list along with Sean''s.


    After parking the car upon reaching home, Francesca nned to visit Lacy when La beckoned at


    her. “Lacy is asleep. See her tomorrow morning instead. Come to my room. I would like a chat with

    “Oh. Let me change out of these first.”


    Francesca returned to her room to change into her home clothes before returning downstairs.


    “Has Danrique contacted you?” La asked bluntly as soon as she brought


    out the tea.
