Mysterious male escort is a mogul novel Chapter 2120

qFrancesca was stunned for a while before she returned to her senses. “Why?”

Federico's actions utterly befuddled her. I thought we were supposed to deal with William's castle, where he and his eighty-three subordinates were poisoned. So why am I suddenly brought into focus? Not only that, I'm forced to stay in the castle for half a year?

“I was very confused too.” William frowned with a serious expression. “I kept telling him that you're a free woman and you have the ability not to be restrained. After that, I even stopped beating around the bush. I said that your medical skills are impressive and you have plenty of incredible talents. Many important and influential figures' lives were saved because of you, so if anything happens to you, those people won't just sit by and watch. However, that wasn't enough to convince Federico. He insisted on executing his decision. Not only did he use the investigation of the poisoning incident to threaten me, but he also said something even nastier...”

“He's asking them to lock me up? Huh, do they even have the capability to do that?” Her fury flared as she gritted her teeth. “That old bat! I thought he understood when I saw the guilt on his face after I said those things. I thought he regretted his actions and would be willing to investigate the matter properly to ensure you get the justice you deserve. To my surprise, he had other plans!”

“I thought so...” A bitter smile was visible on William's face. “Well, I was too naïve.”

“This doesn't seem right...” Francesca was still confused. “Why does Federico want me to stay in Danontand? What is his goal?”

“Initially, I was confused too. However, after I did some digging myself, I got the answer.” He frowned. “I think someone approached him to cooperate with him and asked him to force you to stay here, preventing you from meeting L.”
