Chapter 2232
“Maybe she didn''t want the crowd in the hall to overhear her talking earlier,” Francesca postted.
“Especially when Monica was around. It seems that the firstdy doesn''t quite like Monica.”
La weighed up Francesca''s reasoning and instantly acknowledged it, for the former, too, wasn''t that
fond of Monica herself. From her perspective, Monica had always been acting shady, seemingly
shrewd and cunning to the core.
Yet, she knew very well that Monica was merely working for William. Even if William had been
harboring any sort of ulterior motive, he would still have to take Francesca''s side for the time being.
After all, both Francesca and Danrique could offer him the protection that he needed.
“Danrique has already been missing for so long. I''m really worried,” uttered Francesca with concern.
“I''m not going to give up any chance, so even if it were a trap, I''d still go check it out.”
“All right, then. I''ll go with you,” said La as she held Francesca''s hand.
Thetter shook her head. “No. I can handle it alone. You guard the house. Considering that we don''t
have as many bodyguards with us, I''m afraid those two sc*mbags might send someone to steal the
seal.”
“True enough.” La bobbed her head upon hearing that. “Sloan and the rest won''t be able to manage
on their own. And if those two were to reallye after the seal, it''d be a disaster...”
“But with you around, there''s nothing more for me to worry about.”
Just when Francesca was speaking, a call came through. It was William, requesting her presence. She
then ordered someone to fetch her the medical kit and went on her way.
For the past few days, Francesca had been busy dealing with the horde of her enemies while having all
her thoughts fixated on Danrique. She was understandably moody and preupied with troubles, thus
failing to treat William wholeheartedly.
During the visit on that very night, she gave William a check-up right away. Given that William had been
on his medication, his injuries weren''t affected, but at the same time, there weren''t any improvements
either.
Thus, Francesca performed the treatment and even prescribed him a new course of medicine.
Looking at Francesca''s haggard appearance, William knew he had to offer some kind offort. “Don''t
worry, Francesca. L will be fine...”
“Everyone keeps telling me that, but how can I not worry when he has gonepletely radio silent, to
the point where not even Gordon can locate him?” The worried look on Francesca''s face didn''t abate.
“Actually, have you ever thought about—”
William''s voice trailed off just when words began to leap out of his mouth.
“Thought about what?” questioned Francesca curiously.
“O-Oh, it''s nothing,” William blurted out, abruptly changing the topic. “Anyway, you shouldn''t act alone
while L isn''t by your side. If you really have to go out there, take Monica with you.”
“Yes, that''s right! I can tag along any time,” Monica hastily chimed in. “By the way, what did the first
“Nothing much.”
Truth be told, Francesca detested the way Monica had been behaving toward her. It felt like thetter
was spying on her round the clock.
Furthermore, since the firstdy found Monica distasteful, Francesca would never disclose to Monica
her n of meeting Gerard together with the firstdy.
Needless to say, Monica noticed how Francesca was growing wary of her and immediately tried to
exin herself, “Ms. Felch, have I—”
Unfortunately, she had to swallow her words when she saw William shooting her a meaningful nce.
With that, Francesca gave William a few pointers before spinning on her heels and heading home.
Monica straightaway hung her head low in shame. “I suppose.” Co?tent of Dr?м??ovеls.cоm

“Now that Francesca''s obviously keeping you at arm''s length, you should take this time to reflect on
yourself. If this continues, she''s not going to bring you anywhere she goes,” fumed William.
“Please forgive me, Your Highness...”
William''s heart was filled with uneasiness as those words escaped from his lips.
