If she uncovered the truth behind it all, she would be able to turn the tables.
In the middle of the night, William suddenly shot up, rushed outside, and yelled, “Monica! Monica!”
Monica immediately came running in. “What is it, Your Highness?”
“Get me the laptop. Quick!”
William got up, grabbed the laptop anxiously, and search through the news while holding his phone. Just before he dialed a number, he ordered, “Get Ms. Layla in here. Hazel, too.”
“Understood.”
Monica immediately did as told.
Layla was still awake. When Norah told her that William had summoned her, she knew that something was up. Hurriedly, she put on a coat and dragged Sloan with her as they drove over.
Meanwhile, Hazel did not get much sleep either. After the maid came to knock on the door, she quickly showered before changing and going to the study room.
At that moment, William was already sitting on the sofa with his phone in his hands. The laptop was balanced on his thighs, and there was a grim look on his face. When he saw them, he asked, “Is there any way for us to save Francesca first?”
“What's wrong?” Hazel asked in shock. “Why are you asking all of a sudden?”
“Could it be that...” Layla's face turned pale. “Are they going to make a move on Francesca?”
“Mrs. President's hands are tied right now. That's the only choice they have.” William frowned. “They'll make a move on Francesca and use her wounds as leverage to force Danrique to show himself. They'll also try to throw us into chaos.”
“Damn it.” Layla was fuming. “We should have gotten her out of there sooner.”
