Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 2109

Chapter 2109 The Secret Objective

In other words, Federico was more concerned about commercial opportunities and building networks than William and the eighty lives in his castle.

When the sad truth finally dawned upon her, Francesca’s pity for William intensified.

Suddenly, she could understand why William had been suffering in silence all this while. It wasn’t because he was an incompetent coward, but because he knew that even if he fought for what he wanted, it was simply pointless.

Even now, he couldn’t even initiate an investigation despite having lost the lives of eighty men in the castle.

What made things worse was that his only hope lay in her relationship with Danrique.

How absurd was this?

More importantly, the fact that Federico could brazenly playback the conversation in front of William and Francesca meant that he didn’t see any problem with it at all.

At that instant, Francesca finally understood why her mentor had repeatedly emphasized that she shouldn’t get involved with politicians and members of royal families.

At the end of the recording, Federico got straight to the point. “William, was it your intention to send Robin to see me?”

“No,” William answered softly. “But I’ll take responsibility for everything he said.”

“Good, that should be the way.” Federico smiled faintly. “In that case, did you also order him to lie?”

“Robin didn’t lie,” William quickly said. “It’s true that the water source at the castle was poisoned together with my essential oils…”

“And is Dr. Felch’s identity also true?” Federico questioned directly.

Stunned, William gave Francesca a conflicted look, not knowing what to say.
