Francesca arrived at William's place fifteen minutes later.
The condition of William's injuries had improved tremendously after the recent bout of treatment. He was able to sit up now, and color had returned to his cheeks.
“William, why did you call me over?”
Francesca had thought that William was feeling unwell and brought her medical kit along. However, he did not appear unwell.
“I heard the alarm and roughly guessed what was going on.” William anxiously leaned forward. “What's the situation like now? Have you lost contact with him, or have you ascertained that something bad has happened to him?”
“We have lost contact with him.” Francesca realized that William was extremely intelligent. Most of the time, she did not even need to say anything, yet he could already tell what was going on at a glance.
“Well, that's not as serious as the other scenario.” William relaxed slightly before asking, “Has Gordon rushed over with his men?”
“Yes.” Francesca nodded. “I wanted to go with them, but they did not allow me to.”
“It's best if you stay behind at a time like this.” William kept his cool. “Frannie, listen to me. Something big might happen tomorrow. Many people will probably go to the Lindberg residence and inquire about the situation. You have to remain composed...”
“Is that so? What kind of people will come?” Francesca asked anxiously.
“Donald, people from the three great families, and even the first lady,” William listed them out one by one. “No matter what they ask you, you should just say that you are not clear on the details, but you believe that L should be fine. If they mention the company, tell them that you'll wait for L to come back before making any decisions. Apart from you, no one else can make decisions on his behalf now, or he will find out who's responsible for it when he returns and hold them accountable. If they say that there's something urgent that needs immediate decisions, you'll make the decisions. Don't let anybody else take control. If they are not willing to listen, we'll get the president to come over to support you. You have to remember that you are L's fiancée. He has announced this fact to the public. No matter what others say, you are the only one who can make important decisions concerning the Lindberg family and company now.”
William did not hold back as he taught Francesca what to do in great detail. He reminded her again, “At times like this, you have to remain steadfast and imposing. You don't have to be too reasonable. If someone says that you are not married to L yet and therefore cannot make the decisions, you should ask him if he wants to overstep your authority. No matter what, you have to make them listen to you, even if you have to be unreasonable. Do you understand?”
