Chapter 1949
"I'm sorry!"
Harrier apologized right away and turned to reprimand the waiter, "What are you doing? Are you blind?"
The waiter bowed and apologized incessantly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"It's okay.’ said Francesca, not wanting to make things hard for the waiter.
Upon seeing the scene unfold, Hazel and Gerard immediately went over to handle the situation.
A subordinate of the Atkinson family took out his handkerchief and handed it to Francesca, who happened to notice a bruise on the former's left hand.
That was, apparently, a bite wound from a snake.
Francesca's pupils constricted as a cold gleam flashed past her eyes.
It turned out that the person behind her kidnapping was Gerard Atkinson.
That day at the cabin in the mountains, the head of the kidnappers was bitten by the poisonous snake that she had summoned.
Although that was a long time ago, it would surely leave a scar.
Therefore, she had been on the lookout for someone who had a bite wound on their hand.
Initially, she had thought it was Harrier, but to her surprise, it was Gerard instead.
Needless to say, a big shot like Gerard would never take matters into his own hands when it came to committing such a crime.He would, of course, send his most trusted assistant.
"Let's go to the back hall, shall we? I'll get someone to bring you a few more gowns for you to choose" said Hazel, sounding like the matriarch of the place.
"That won't be necessary.I'll just clean the gown."
Francesca glanced at that subordinate before following Hazel to the lounge in the back hall.
The two female bodyguards of the Lindberg family, Heidi and Samantha, trailed behind them.
Francesca went to the washroom to try cleaning the wine stains on her gown, but after failing to do so, she decided to wait on the sofa in the lounge for Hazel's subordinates to bring her a new gown.
"I'll keep Ms, Cece company.The rest of you, please step out."
Hazel sent her subordinates away before turning to look at Heidi and Samantha.
The two bodyguards glanced at Francesca and only left after receiving a nod from the latter.
