Chapter 1922
Although Ms.Layla can disguise herself well, she’s injured now.
Besides, Danrique is watching closely.It would be a daunting task to get me away from the Lindberg residence.
In addition, Danrique is cold, ruthless, and vicious.If he catches them, they would be in trouble.
Francesca got a headache from thinking about it.Perhaps it was due to the injury, so she fell asleep unknowingly.
Meanwhile, Danrique had arrived at the castle where Donald had been waiting for him for a long time.
When he saw Danrique, Donald quickly stood up and greeted, "Danrique, you've finally returned!"
"What is it, Uncle Donald?"
Danrique took off his coat and changed his boots before heading toward the study room.
"When Mr.Adams came to the company today, he seems to have fallen for Hazel," Donald uttered anxiously.
"That's—"
"That's good news!" Danrique interrupted.
"Congratulate them on my behalf"
"Umm..." Donald was stunned momentarily.
"Danrique, are you joking? Mr.Adams has been vying for Lindberg Corporation's assets.If he were to marry Hazel and unite the three great families, the Lindberg family will be left standing alone.When that happens, they might gang up on us."
Danrique went silent after hearing that.
Although he was decisive and competent, he was rather clueless in dealing with schemes and conspiracies concerning familial matters.He knew Frank well, but he had never taken him seriously.
After all, they had never offended each other, and they never stood in each other's way.
Danrique was supposed to be there to entertain Frank's inspection, but he was caught up by what happened with Francesca.
Although it was slightly inappropriate, he thought it would be fine, since the other three great families were hosting the conference.
However, he didn't expect something like that to happen during the conference.
Donald then uttered in a serious tone, "Danrique, we can't let Mr.Adams marry Hazel.When both their families joined hands, the Lindberg family is doomed.Everyone knows Hazel is into you.If you were to act now, she will definitely choose you—"
"Act now? What do you mean?" Danrique interrupted.
"Well, marry Hazel," Donald answered quickly.
"If you don't marry her, Mr.Adams is going to marry her.Since Hazel is the only girl available in the four great families, she’s very sought-after."
"I'm marrying Cece,"
Danrique answered firmly.
"I'm not going to change my mind." Donald sighed, and he became frantic.
"Even though you like Cece, that doesn't mean you have to marry her.You can just keep her in the castle.Isn't that the same?"
Upon hearing that, Danrique knitted his brows, and he looked annoyed.
"As the heir of the Lindberg family and the person in charge of Lindberg Corporation, you have the responsibility to do the right thing.You can't do as you wish—"
