Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby (Charlotte and Zachary) novel Chapter 2040

Upon noticing how serious Layla was, Anthony walked over, drew the curtains, and sat opposite her. "Why are you acting so secretive? What is it?"

"Mr. Lincoln has shortlisted a few foundations and plans to embark on a field trip to inspect them, so he'll be away during this period. Meanwhile, I have to keep an eye on the orphanage to prevent Chrono and his men from laying their fingers on the children. That means you have to take care of Francesca."

"Sure. No problem!" Anthony agreed without hesitation as he had always wished he could stay by Francesca's side and protect her all day.

"Hold on. Let me finish." Layla gave him another side-eye before continuing, "Listen carefully. I have two missions for you, and you must accomplish them"

Anthony pricked up his ears. "Go on." "First, you need to find out Prince William's character. You'll also need to investigate the people around him to see if they have ulterior motives. Secondly, should Danrique's men come to look for Francesca, you must inform me before making any decision. I want to meet them personally." It was not difficult to tell that Layla was serious about these two missions.

"I'll have no problem accomplishing the first mission, but the second mission-is that necessary?" Anthony pouted to express his dismay.

He continued, "That dude says he wants to marry Francesca, yet he's constantly involved in scandals. He didn't even bother to come to S Nation to look for her personally. This means he doesn't even care about Francesca. Why do you still want to meet him?"

"You know nothing. Just shut up and do as I say." Layla was running out of patience.

"Fine." Anthony was reluctant but dared not go against Layla's instructions.

"Here, take this." Layla gave him an exquisite silver gun.

"This will come in handy should emergencies happen."

"But I'm not good with guns," Anthony said sheepishly while retrieving the gun. "Besides, I've not killed anyone before. I'm scared..."

"Didn't you say you're a man?" Layla shot daggers at him. "Have you not learned a thing or two after living with us for so many years?"
