    Francesca pondered for a moment after hearing those words. She seldom came in contact with the

    president, but she surmised that the firstdy''s actions were probably at the president''s behest.


    In other words, it meant that the president supported her.


    However, he had yet to offer his support officially. Is it because the three great families have yet to force


    me to the edge of the cliff? Or is it because he thinks it''s not time yet?


    Just then, Donald added, “Don''t expect too much from the president.”


    “Why?” Francesca was puzzled.


    “Influential people like him often look at the big picture. They don''t do things out of sentiment,” Donald


    said grimly. “If Danrique is still alive, the president will do his utmost to hold onto him. But if he''s not, the


    president will likely consider Erihal''s economic situation and help a new president ascend to the


    position.”


    “I get it.” Francesca understood what Donald was trying to say. “So, what you mean is, if Danrique is


    truly no longer with us, no one will help me.”


    Donald sighed. “Yes. At the moment, the candidate will likely be someone from the three great families.


    I reckon the person with the highest chance of obtaining the position is Harrier. Compared to Kevin and


    Gerard, Harrier is more strategic andposed. Moreover,pared to Danrique, he is easier to


    control.”


    Donald''s words held a deeper meaning behind them, and Francesca immediately understood what the


    former was trying to say. “What you''re saying is, Harrier is willing to submit to the president and adhere


    to his arrangements.”


    Impressed, Donald eximed, “Yes, you nailed it. The situation does not favor us at the moment.


    What''s important right now is to find Danrique. If he is able to return safely, everything will be fine.”


    “Don''t worry. I''m sure he''s alive!” Francesca dered resolutely.


    “I believe that he''s alive, too. He''s a strong man who won''t be defeated easily, but...” Donald trailed off


    for a while before continuing, “What I''m afraid of is that someone wants him dead.”


    Francesca froze when she heard the words, and something in her mind clicked.


    Prior to Donald''s reminder, she had not considered this issue at all. Even if Danrique was currently


    alive, there was no guarantee he was going to make it back safely.


    This means that the people who seem to be concerned about his whereabouts are potentially the ones


    that want him dead. So, it''s a race to see who finds Danrique first...


    If Gordon found Danrique first, thetter would be saved. However, if someone else were to beat


    Gordon to it, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    “Truth be told, I don''t have better advice for you.” Donald heaved a long sigh. “I can only inform you of


    the situation as it is, in hopes that you mentally prepare yourself. Since you have two experts who can


    give you advice, you''re in a much better position than I am.”


    Donald turned to La after speaking. “That''s all I came to say. I''ll be taking my leave. I hope you find


    Danrique as soon as possible.”


    “I''ll figure something out.”


    Monica arrived as soon as Francesca saw Donald out. “Ms. Felch, His Highness wishes to meet you.”


    “All right, give me a moment.”


    Francesca turned around and stared at the car that was parked nearby.
