Chapter 2242 Uproot

Willam heaved a sigh. Apparently, he did not feel optimistic about how things looked. “Is the first lady doing this to bring the three great families to power?” Layla asked, puzzled. “It’s not necessary if she’s doing it for the sake of her daughter’s love life.”

Francesca had once told Layla about the current state of Avery, the president’s daughter, as well as the fact that Avery had feelings for Danrique.

However, Layla thought that as the president’s wife, the first lady didn’t need to seek vengeance against Francesca for something so trivial.

Danrique’s fate was currently unknown, but he would not forgive the first lady if he managed to survive and learn the truth.

William’s countenance grew solemn. “Perhaps for a variety of reasons. But from how things currently look, I’m almost certain she’s the mastermind. She deliberately summoned Francesca over to meet the Atkinsons and left them alone on purpose. Knowing Francesca’s hot temper, she expected a conflict to arise and believed Francesca would surely retaliate. Once Francesca retaliates, Gerard will die, and Francesca will become the main suspect.”

Monica exclaimed, “How devious! Will they send Ms. Felch to prison? I don’t think they would dare to, as the Lindberg family holds power here even in Mr. Lindberg’s absence. They wouldn’t dare act so boldly, right?”

Layla agreed with Monica, which was a rare occurrence. “She’s right. What’s more, Danrique is still alive. He might even be back in a few days.”

“Perhaps they don’t want him to come back,” William suggested suddenly. The atmosphere in the room grew tense at once.

The three women gaped at him.

“If L does not return, the president can instate an obedient puppet who will take over Lindberg Corporation.”
