Chapter 2287
The president was still pretending to be pitiful when another breaking news was reported.
The first lady admitted that she attempted to frame Francesca, which was consistent with the
speculation in the previous news—Chrono was Avery's lover, and Candice was her illegitimate child.
Because of Candice's death, Avery, who was already unhappy with her life and suffering from severe
depression, became even more mentally unstable.
The first lady blamed Francesca for everything. As soon as Danrique was in trouble, she began to
exact her revenge on Francesca by ensuring that the woman met with the Atkinsons. That way, she
could poison Gerard and blame Francesca for it.
In the video, the first lady even arranged to buy off the Atkinsons' family doctor and the forensic
examiner. The evidence presented was solid and conclusive.
Immediately, public opinion set off another uproar.
What sympathy the president had won had just then instantly evaporated as everyone shifted their
attention to the first lady and wondered if there would be any more shocking news.
Meanwhile, William, who was watching the news in a wheelchair, finally relaxed his furrowed eyebrows.
“Mr. Lindberg is back. It must be Mr. Lindberg,” Hazel said excitedly.
“Yes.” William watched as the dark clouds in the sky slowly dissipated. “Finally, the storm is over...”
In a hidden villa somewhere, Danrique was watching the news on a computer screen with a deadpan
expression, yet his eyes were filled with a thousand emotions.
Not long after Sean checked his watch for a countdown, Danrique's phone, which had just been turned
on, rang. He looked at the phone screen and smirked. “It's the president.”
“Don't answer it,” ordered Danrique calmly.
“Understood.” Sean knew Danrique was testing the president's patience since the president was only
open to discussion after Danrique had gotten the upper hand.
Since Danrique was no pushover, he wanted the president to plead with him in person.
The other reason for that was to prevent the president from pretending to seek peace and taking the
opportunity to end Danrique once and for all.
After all, Danrique was severely injured, and the Lindberg family suffered a great loss. Should the
president decide to exercise his military power and mobilize the army, Danrique would be in grave
danger.
Even if Danrique had hundreds of elite bodyguards, he would not be able to withstand such a powerful
force.
That was why he had to humbly seek Riz Corporation's help.
Only with the company's protection could Danrique stand a chance against the president.
The phone screen kept flashing until the call ended, and since the device did not ring again after that,
Danrique assumed the president was panicking about failing to reach him.
Glancing coldly at the phone, Danrique ordered, “Have Lupine carry on with the interrogation and do
her best to get more secrets.”
“That's true. They're much more capable than you guys,” responded Danrique, glaring at Sean. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes.” Sean quickly lowered his head.
“Anything from Gordon?” Danrique asked. Coոtent of Drąмąոovеls.cоm
“I hope so...” Danrique had mixed feelings about the news. He owed Francesca too much. Not only did
he not know how to face her, but he also did not know if she would forgive him.
He was the reason behind everything, including Layla's death. Francesca must be heartbroken...
