Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 2096

Chapter 2096 The Price

“He’s asking to see me?” Francesca was slightly bewildered. “Does he want to interrogate me?”

“Of course not,” William responded instantly. “He knows your identity and did not suspect you at all. He just wanted to know more about the situation in detail.”

“Then ask him to come here himself,” Francesca answered without thinking. “Come here and see the water sources for himself. Take a look at the people in the castle for himself. He can even bring his own medical team to examine.”

“Uh… But…” William widened his eyes.

“You don’t dare to tell him that? Allow me.” She snatched the phone away from his hand and began speaking to Federico on the other end. “Your Majesty, I suppose you’ve heard everything I just said?”

On the other end of the line, Federico remained silent for a few seconds before replying, “You really do live up to your name, Francesco. Such a character!”

“I’m merely speaking the truth,” Francesca replied casually. “There’s no point for me to go to the palace. If you believe in me, there’s no need for me to go there. If you don’t believe in me, then what’s the point if I go? Why don’t you send your team here to see for yourselves?”

“Francesca…” William warned.

“Do you know who you’re talking to?”

Federico seemed friendly, but his tone was stern. Apparently, Francesca’s attitude had offended him, and he began exerting his authority.

“I talk to everybody like this.” Francesca was unfazed. “Everyone’s human. Besides, I’m not one of your citizens. My respect toward you is because you’re the grandfather of my friend, William.”

Francesca’s words made the atmosphere even more tense.

When Federico fell silent, William quickly began, “Francesca…”

“What? I’m not wrong.”
