Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 2147

Chapter 2146 Hiding Something

The sweetness welled up from within Danrique’s chest and filled him with bliss. At that moment, he felt that he and Francesca could be happy forever. Upon entering the house, Francesca went to see Gordon and ask about Layla and Lincoln.

He reported that it was still under investigation and that he needed more time before assuring her that he would report it to her as soon as there was something to report.

Francesca glanced at the time. It had been exactly an hour and ten minutes since Danrique had assigned him to investigate. She could not help feeling worried. “I remember you were very efficient back then to trace even the most complicated matter within an hour. It’s taking you longer this time. Could something have happened to Layla and Lincoln?”

“Not at all. Please don’t overthink,” Gordon said hastily. “It’s mostly because I’m not fully aware of their situation. Besides, they’re now in H City, which is not our turf. That is why I need time.”

“Oh, I see.” Francesca heaved a sigh of relief at his words. “That’s good news. Keep digging, and let me know if you find anything.”

“I will.” Gordon nodded eagerly. “Don’t worry.”

Francesca did not spare the matter further thought. She just went up the stairs.

Seeing that, Gordon returned to the home office immediately and gave Danrique a call. “Mr. Lindberg!”

“How are things?” Danrique was still driving.

“I’d just received word that the two of them are being hunted by Riz Corporation. One of them was captured, while the other escaped with grievous injuries. Their current whereabouts are unknown,” Gordon reported quietly. “Ms. Felch came to ask me earlier, and I gave her a vague answer. I dare not tell her the truth.”

“Don’t tell her yet,” Danrique instructed. “Rescue the injured one who had escaped and contact Riz Corporation at the same time to keep the other alive.”

Gordon hesitated.

“Those two used to be agents from M Nation, Mr. Lindberg,” Sean cautioned gingerly. “I don’t know their grudge against Riz Corporation, and I don’t think it’s wise for us to intervene.”

“Rescue them first!” Danrique growled, irritated.
