“Haha! I'll have to thank you in advance, Ms. Atkinson!” Sean laughed and closed the car door for her. He only went back in after watching her convoy leave.
“How was it?” Gordon walked up to Sean and asked softly, “What did Ms. Atkinson talk to you about for so long?”
“She asked me to convince Mr.
Lindberg. Also, she said she's willing to compromise as long as he ends up marrying her.” Sean proceeded to tell Gordon everything Hazel had told him.
“What? She said that?” Gordon was shocked. “She's so kind and generous.”
Sean analyzed out loud, “Well, she's a girl from a prominent family, so she had been taught this concept ever since she was little. The moment Ms. Atkinson turned six, she was frequently sent to the Lindberg residence to spend time with the family. Hence, they had been saving her for Mr. Lindberg. In order to make their family stronger, the Atkinson family was willing to sacrifice anything. Besides, Ms. Atkinson likes Mr. Lindberg. Since every girl yearns for strong and capable men, she's not losing out on anything if she were to end up together with Mr. Lindberg. In addition, girls from prominent families are into power and status, so they had long abandoned the concept of love. They are after personal gains and titles. Mr. Lindberg, however, is still a simple and pure person when it comes to relationships.”
“Right.” Gordon nodded. “There aren't many people left who are simple and pure like Mr. Lindberg.”
Sean heaved a sigh. “Although that's true, Mr. Lindberg is facing threats from every direction at the moment. If he insists on doing things his way, he'll have to face the consequences in the future.”
“That's right,” Gordon agreed. “The Nacht family hasn't acted yet. Once they do, things are bound to get dicey.”
“Mr. Lindberg knows that as well. That's why he wanted to settle our internal affairs before the Nacht family act. However, who would've thought Mr. Adams would show up out of nowhere? Besides, Ms. Belch's appearance had severely messed up Mr. Lindberg's plans,” Sean said softly because he was afraid that Danrique would hear him. Mr. Lindberg is a protective person. He can scold her all he wants, but he can't tolerate people talking badly about Francesca.
“I felt it, too,” Gordon whispered.
“Before this, Mr. Lindberg was fearless and ruthless because he had no liabilities. Now that he has a weakness, someone might end up using it against him.”
“Exactly.” Sean nodded. “What happened today is just the beginning. No one knows what's coming up next.”
