Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 2217

Chapter 2216 Time To Strike

Francesca slept so well that she did not realize someone had opened the door and entered the room quietly. “Did she finish the milk?”

“Yes, Mam. She finished it.” “You can leave now.”

“All right, Mam.” After glancing at the empty glass on the table and the sleeping Francesca, a cold glint flashed across the first lady’s eyes.

She gestured for her two female bodyguards to enter the room and approach Francesca. All of a sudden, Francesca’s phone rang. She shivered for a second before sitting up and answering the call. “Danrique?”
