Initially, Francesca took Layla's advice to heart and planned to call Danrique, but before she could initiate the conversation, it seemed he had given up on her.
Francesca could not help but feel dejected and hated herself for being vulnerable.
She kept reminding herself not to think of Danrique anymore. It's time to cut ties with that man. I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore!
“Sloan, why does Ms. Felch look so calm? Is she not mad?” a bodyguard asked out of curiosity.
He was observing Francesca from the rear-view mirror while waiting in a car nearby.
“Ms. Felch is not an expressive person,” Sloan said with a wry smile. “She's used to putting up a tough front.”
“What should we do now? Should we retreat?” the bodyguard asked.
“Let's retreat and wait for those two to appear!” “All right. Got it!” After leaving the area with the bodyguard, Sloan called Sean. The call connected within seconds. “Hey!”
“Sean, we just met Ms. Felch. We're retreating now.”
“Hide properly. Show yourself again when Chrono and his men appear.” Sean ordered. “By the way, did you plant the listening devices properly? Ms. Felch didn't notice anything amiss, right?”
“I planted the devices in Anthony's car and shoes. I also managed to track his phone. Everything should be fine,” Sloan said. “But I dare not put those things around Ms. Felch.”
“Anthony? Who's that?” Sean froze for a bit, but the name soon rang a bell. “Her ex-boyfriend?”
“Yes. That's him,” Sloan answered. “He drives Ms. Felch to everywhere she wants to go, and I also think they're staying together. They're as close as a family.”
Sloan's observation instantly rendered Sean speechless.
