Chapter 2240

Francesca pondered for a moment after hearing those words. She seldom came in contact with the president, but she surmised that the first lady's actions were probably at the president's behest.

In other words, it meant that the president supported her.

However, he had yet to offer his support officially. Is it because the three great families have yet to force me to the edge of the cliff? Or is it because he thinks it's not time yet?

Just then, Donald added, “Don't expect too much from the president.”

“Why?” Francesca was puzzled.

“Influential people like him often look at the big picture. They don't do things out of sentiment,” Donald said grimly. “If Danrique is still alive, the president will do his utmost to hold onto him. But if he's not, the president will likely consider Erihal's economic situation and help a new president ascend to the position.”

“I get it.” Francesca understood what Donald was trying to say. “So, what you mean is, if Danrique is truly no longer with us, no one will help me.”

Donald sighed. “Yes. At the moment, the candidate will likely be someone from the three great families. I reckon the person with the highest chance of obtaining the position is Harrier. Compared to Kevin and Gerard, Harrier is more strategic and composed. Moreover, compared to Danrique, he is easier to control.”

Donald's words held a deeper meaning behind them, and Francesca immediately understood what the former was trying to say. “What you're saying is, Harrier is willing to submit to the president and adhere to his arrangements.”

Impressed, Donald exclaimed, “Yes, you nailed it. The situation does not favor us at the moment. What's important right now is to find Danrique. If he is able to return safely, everything will be fine.”

“Don't worry. I'm sure he's alive!” Francesca declared resolutely.

“I believe that he's alive, too. He's a strong man who won't be defeated easily, but...” Donald trailed off for a while before continuing, “What I'm afraid of is that someone wants him dead.”

Francesca froze when she heard the words, and something in her mind clicked.

Prior to Donald's reminder, she had not considered this issue at all. Even if Danrique was currently alive, there was no guarantee he was going to make it back safely.
