Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby (Charlotte and Zachary)

Chapter 2158

Francesca felt uneasy up until she got in the car. It was only when Danrique tended to her injury that

she came back to her senses.

“When you encounter something like this, don't just throw yourself into it,” said Danrique unhappily. “Did

the Chrono incident teach you nothing? Why do you like being a busybody?”

Having heard this, Francesca trembled, thinking of what had happened with Chrono and Candice.

It had brought upon her much trouble.

She still had lingering fears whenever she thought about it.

Francesca had constantly been reminding herself not to stick her nose where it did not belong, but

every time someone was in danger, she could not resist the urge to help.

Like with what happened earlier—she had never considered how complicated the issue was.

Diana had slit her wrist in front of her. As a doctor, how could Francesca stand idly by?

“Scared out of your wits?” asked Danrique as he gently pinched Francesca's cheek.

“Not quite.” Francesca came back to her senses again. “That woman... Did she like you before?”

“I guess so,” replied Danrique mildly.

“And then she married someone else?” Francesca continued. “But is now divorced?”

“Yes.” Danrique nodded and said, “Not too long ago, the first lady brought her back from Dartan. After

coming back, however, her psyche seemed to be abnormal. I heard that she did not have a good life

and that things were complicated there.”

After a pause, Danrique said, “It's nothing to do with you, however. There's no need to dwell on it.”

“I'd assumed that the person who put me under house arrest after bribing King Federico was the

president himself,” Francesca blurted out. “I guess it's not him.”

“Ha!” Danrique laughed. “So you were thinking about this all this while? I've underestimated you.”

“I'm not an idiot,” said Francesca, rolling her eyes. “I'm just not fond of playing games of intrigue. I know

what's happening, all right? William had mentioned that the King only socializes with people that befit

his station. Since the three great families are not quite of the same rank, the only person who could

possibly have a connection with both you and the King was the president.”

Francesca paused briefly before continuing to speak. “Since you brought me to the banquet, I've been

quietly observing everyone. Given how the presidential couple is so genial, I think that your status must

be higher than that of the president himself. As such, I thought the president wanted to win you over by

betrothing his daughter to you, so he bribed the king to keep me in Danontand. But seeing the current

state of his daughter dispelled my concerns.”

Danrique nodded and hummed in response. “I arrived at the same conclusion you did after mulling over

this. Tonight was, in fact, meant for recon.”

“You thought the same?” said Francesca hurriedly. “I mean, Diana is already like this, so surely they

wouldn't dare to wed you two even if they wanted to? Based on their behavior today, I think they had no

such intentions at all.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“I think that was their intention initially.” Danrique had nothing else to say on this.

“I guess you're taking this with a grain of salt.” Francesca did not understand. “Unless you think

something else was up?”

“I'm just used to having reservations.” Danrique smiled mildly and said, “A lot of things don't really

reveal themselves until the very end.”

“What do you mean?” Francesca still did not understand.

“But I have other questions.” Francesca thought of what Diana had said earlier and asked, “What does

Diana's marriage have to do with Hazel?” Updated at Draмąոоvels.cоm
