Chapter 2154
The presidential couple seemed quite reasonable. Upon knowing that Danrique had brought his fiancée
along, they held their daughter back from creating trouble.
The poor woman, on the other hand, must have suffered from some kind of shock, given how mentally
unstable she seemed.
That being said, the family seemed rtively reasonable.
Upon thinking about this, Francesca cared little. She turned on her heel and walked toward the hall as
well.
By then, the banquet had already ended. The president suggested that they go to the hunting grounds,
which was met with the approval and anticipation of the men in attendance.
“I''m not going. But please, carry on without me.”
Danrique looked at Francesca, who had just entered. She was holding her skirt up as she walked over,
her face seemingly clueless and dazed. Danrique found this adorable.
“Danrique, it''s only nine! Why don''t you stay for a bit?” asked Harrier with a smile. “Besides, Cece is
here too. You can keep herpany. She must be so bored, cooped up in the castle all day.”
“What''s going on?” Francesca had caught wind of the conversation.
“Do you want to go hunting on the hunting grounds, Cece?” asked the president warmly.
“No thanks.”
Francesca did not like hunting animals. However, she realized she could not change anything and
could only choose to stay away.
“Then we won''t go hunting. Let''s head to the basement parlor and y some board games!” The
president smiled and continued, “There are some simple games there we can y. The women can
also join in then.”
“That''s right, Cece! I''ve asked the kitchen to prepare some Chanaean snacks and tea. You have not
sampled them yet!” chimed the firstdy warmly.
The presidential couple had all their attention centered on Francesca, intending on following her
wishes. Thus, the rest looked at her face expectantly.

At that moment, no matter how arrogant a person Francesca was, she would have still felt somewhat
embarrassed. Besides, Danrique still needed to be on good terms with them, so she had to get along
with high society eventually.
Thinking of this, Francesca turned to look at Danrique. He, too, returned her gaze, as if questioning her
intent.
“Very well then.” Having seen that Danrique was not insisting on leaving, she thought that he did have
the desire to stay after all. She then said, “Thank you, Mr. President, Ma''am.”
“That''s splendid!” Harrier pped happily. “I can show off my card skills to Danrique tonight!”
“Didn''t you lose enough thest time?” quipped Kevin.
“You''re talking as if you''ve never lost,” retorted Harrier, rolling his eyes.
“Haha!” The president was all smiles. “I didn''t realize that Danrique was skilled at ying cards too!”
“He''s got a photographic memory. It helps him remember where the cards are!” chortled Gerard. “We
three constantly lose terribly to him!”
“Then I must see this for myself!”
Having said that, the president ushered everyone to the basement.
Monica then waved at her from afar.
The group of people filed into the basement. The men started to gather around a table to y cards
while conversations about both banal and important things began to flow.
Francesca thought that the game was just a distraction since they were actually discussing crucial
matters.
The president seemed genial, but his sharp eyes did not miss anything. He was carefully observing
everyone''s words and deeds. Content of Drаm??ovels.cоm
He seemed to be assessing everyone''s capabilities while he had the chance.
Danrique did not say much, but he was concise. Everyone present was observing his demeanor,
including the president himself.
This time, Sean did not join the men at the table. Instead, he stayed to chat with the women, leaving
them dazzled by his impable eloquence.
