The three supported each other as they made their way down the mountain. Francesca briefly explained the situation to Anthony when he asked her about it.

On the other hand, Lincoln kept his head lowered and remained quiet. The man did not scold Francesca for what had happened, inquire about the specifics of the situation, or even show grief.

Aside from how he had collapsed to the ground before, Lincoln showed no other reaction. He simply kept his head down in silence as if he was thinking about something.

“I can’t believe how despicable the president and the first lady are! They have a problem with Danrique, so why do they have to involve you? They even got Ms. Layla caught in the storm,” complained Anthony furiously.

“It was my fault.” Francesca remembered what Layla had said to her.

“What happened between you and Danrique was supposed to be just a relationship problem, but things got complicated after it got political. Have you thought about the consequences? If you stay, you’ll have to face problems like this all the time. You’ll be looking over your shoulder every day. Are you okay with that?”

Layla had been able to tell what would happen to Francesca, so she had tried her best to warn the latter. Unfortunately, Francesca did not listen to her.

Even though Layla had known what she did would be dangerous, she still stuck by Francesca’s side to help clean up her mess without hesitation.

In the end, she even sacrificed herself to protect her.

“All you have to do is to be the innocent child you are. I’ll protect you!”

Francesca remembered Layla saying that to her. She was right. I was so innocent… Countless people tried to warn me, but I didn’t listen to them. I have no one but myself to blame for what happened.

“What do you plan to do next, Francesca?” asked Lincoln, finally breaking his silence.
