Chapter 2248


    After Francesca was taken away, a somber atmosphere took over the Lindberg residence.


    Norah would sob quietly and wipe her tears from time to time.


    Sloan was anxious and kept trying to contact Gordon.


    Previously, Gordon would call every day to get an update about the situation in the castle, but after


    what happened recently, he suddenly cut off contact.


    Despite feeling something was amiss, Sloan didn''t know what else to do. He could only text Gordon to


    inform thetter about Francesca''s situation.


    Robin arrived the next day. Sloan sent someone to pick him up and bring him over to the castle.


    William talked to Robin behind closed doors for the entire afternoon before Robin got to work.


    No one knew what he was busy with.


    After learning they found a legal team, Sloan told William that Danrique had a legal team of his own


    that was trustable.


    However, William said they couldn''t use their own legal team without exining the reason.


    Sloan felt unsettled, but La told him to trust William.


    Seven days went by in the blink of an eye.


    There was no activity on William''s side, but the news about Francesca poisoning Gerard had blown up


    everywhere.


    An anonymousizen provided evidence that an attendant in the hotel saw Francesca releasing her


    venomous snake to bite Gerard. There was also a blurry video showing their backs.


    The video didn''t show Francesca''s face, but it was a scene showing Francesca releasing her snake to


    bite Gerard. It wasn''t edited or faked; it was real.


    Clearly, there was a camera in the private room that had recorded the entire scene. The person who


    posted this must''ve cut out one part of the video to post this online.


    Seeing that, Sloan and the rest were furious. It was pretty obvious by now that the firstdy was behind


    this. After all, she was the one who picked the ce and would''ve examined the ce thoroughly


    before entering it. There was no way an attendant could''ve recorded that secretly.

    Hence, she must''ve deliberately ordered her men to set up the camera so that Francesca would get


    med.


    As Sloan rambled about how despicable the firstdy was, he got increasingly furious. However,


    William chuckled.


    La frowned. “Why are youughing?”


    “Hazel will be contacting me soon,” William replied confidently.


    “Why?” Monica was curious. “For the past few days, I tried all means to ask her out but got rejected


    every time. She even threatened me. Why would she change her mind suddenly?”


    “She should''ve read the news,” came William''s calm answer. “It''s pretty easy to understand what


    happened. Even Sloan realized what happened, let alone her.”


    Monica and Sloan were stunned, but La promptly understood what he meant. “Are you saying that


    Hazel has realized it was a trap set by Mrs. President?”


    “Yes.” William nodded. “She''s a smart woman.”


    La was still worried. “But Francesca is her love rival. Will she help Francesca? Or will she take the


    chance to get rid of Francesca?”


    “All right. We''ll rely on you, then. This is giving me a headache.”


    Right after La finished her sentence, Monica''s phone rang. She took a look at the screen and grew


    excited. “It''s from Hazel.”


    “Okay.” William nodded. “Sloan, please make the arrangements.”


    “Sure.” Reаd at NovelDrama.Org


    Sloan made the arrangements ording to William''s wishes and drove him to the meeting spot.


    “I think you have a question for me, Ms. Atkinson.” William gave her a pleasant smile.


    “You''re indeed smart, Your Highness.” Hazel gave him an intense look. “I''d like to know your opinion


    about the video that appeared in the news today.”
