Chapter 2287 The Reason Behind Everything
The president was still pretending to be pitiful when another breaking news was reported. The first lady admitted that she attempted to frame Francesca, which was consistent with the speculation in the previous news—Chrono was Avery’s lover, and Candice was her illegitimate child.
Because of Candice’s death, Avery, who was already unhappy with her life and suffering from severe depression, became even more mentally unstable.
The first lady blamed Francesca for everything. As soon as Danrique was in trouble, she began to exact her revenge on Francesca by ensuring that the woman met with the Atkinsons. That way, she could poison Gerard and blame Francesca for it.
In the video, the first lady even arranged to buy off the Atkinsons’ family doctor and the forensic examiner. The evidence presented was solid and conclusive.
Immediately, public opinion set off another uproar. What sympathy the president had won had just then instantly evaporated as everyone shifted their attention to the first lady and wondered if there would be any more shocking news.
Meanwhile, William, who was watching the news in a wheelchair, finally relaxed his furrowed eyebrows. “Mr. Lindberg is back. It must be Mr. Lindberg,” Hazel said excitedly.
“Yes.” William watched as the dark clouds in the sky slowly dissipated. “Finally, the storm is over…”
In a hidden villa somewhere, Danrique was watching the news on a computer screen with a deadpan expression, yet his eyes were filled with a thousand emotions.
Not long after Sean checked his watch for a countdown, Danrique’s phone, which had just been turned on, rang. He looked at the phone screen and smirked. “It’s the president.”
“Don’t answer it,” ordered Danrique calmly.
“Understood.” Sean knew Danrique was testing the president’s patience since the president was only open to discussion after Danrique had gotten the upper hand.
Since Danrique was no pushover, he wanted the president to plead with him in person.
