Chapter 1963
Nevertheless, Danrique was not angry.He merely regarded Francesca with a smile, and his gaze was filled with pride.
Although he did not say it out loud, he felt really pleased.
See, that's my woman! The constant flattery started to make Francesca feel cocky.
Snuggling in Danrique's arms, she giggled non-stop and forgot about her plan to escape.
When the car returned to the Lindberg residence, she was struck by a sudden realization.
Oh no, I'm back in this cage! It would be impossible to escape now! Beep! Beep! Suddenly, Danrique's phone buzzed.He glanced at his phone's screen and answered the call.
"Hi!"
The person on the other end of the line said something, and a crease appeared between Danrique's eyebrows.
After a moment's silence, he muttered coldly, "Mr.President, I'm going to H City to settle some personal matters.The members of the Nacht family and the Lindberg family are sworn enemies, so how could both families form an alliance?"
The president was different from Frank.He was amiable and spoke in a calm tone.
Moreover, he kept persuading Danrique.
As a result, it was impossible for Danrique to be angry at the president.
Still, he refused to compromise.
"I'll head there for sure.If anything else arises, we'll talk about it again once I'm back!"
The president did not give up.
"Danrique, the issue has become the talk of the town.Frank is a force to be reckoned with.Although we have dirt on him, it'll be very difficult for me to take him down on my own if you don't attend the trial.This is a crucial moment, and you mustn't be absent.Can't you hold off your personal matters for two more days? If you really must attend to them, you can assign someone to do it for you.I can also send someone over to help you.Plus, I can even seek help from Zarain.As long as you stay, the other matters can be settled easily..."
The president's words sounded like a plea, and Danrique found it hard to reject him.He frowned and felt troubled.
"Take care of the important matters" Francesca said.
She might not understand Erihalean, but she was aware of what was going on.
Right now, Frank's trial was an urgent issue.
The only person who could make Danrique answer the phone and feel troubled was the president.
"Just let me spend a few days alone, and don't be so clingy.I'll return to H City myself.Perhaps, I might even locate that famous doctor"
