“And who's the ex-husband?” Monica continued asking.
“Beats me.” Sloan dared not say more. He cautiously looked at Francesca and said, “Mr. Lindberg doesn't like us talking behind people's backs.”
Francesca glanced at Monica for a moment.
“All right, I'll stop asking.” Monica immediately explained, “I'm just a little curious. Who on earth would dare to abuse the president's daughter? Ugh, evil men lurk everywhere.”
Before shutting his mouth, Sloan added, “The culprit is quite a big shot.”
“I guess so. There are always people better than us out there...” Monica muttered. “But this Ms. Avery must have suffered quite a bit. Otherwise, she wouldn't end up in such a miserable state.”
“Let's not dive into her personal matters anymore,” Francesca expressed her dismay. “And stop behaving like an FBI agent. You're no longer with that organization anymore.”
Monica started chuckling. “All right, all right. Forgive me. I shall not ask any further.”
Though she had stopped asking questions, she kept all the information in mind.
It was already daybreak by the time they arrived at the castle. Francesca could not sleep, so she went directly to the lab to work on the medicine and ordered her subordinates to deliver it to the presidential palace.
After completing her work, she returned to her room to take a nap.
Meanwhile, Monica went to William's room.
William, who had a sleepless night, asked Monica when he saw her, “Is Francesca all right?”
“Ms. Felch is fine, don't worry. She just got home a while ago.” Monica felt disappointed but still put on a smile. “Oh, yes, I have some updates for you, Your Highness...”
“What is it?”
“Apparently, Ms. Avery...”
Monica reported everything she had heard to William. She even told him how Francesca felt Avery looked familiar.
Upon hearing that, William went through all of Avery's information again. He then ordered, “Go and find out more about Avery's ex-husband and who she cheated on him with. Lay low, and make sure you stay under the radar.”
