The question jolted Francesca. Then, she muttered under her breath, “There's no way Danrique
would've sent it. It must be the president's doing.”
“He actually knows my number and even knows that you're with me?” Anthony was stunned.
“The second you and Mr. Lincoln stepped into Xendale, you had no way of escaping his radar.”
Suddenly, something seemed to click in Francesca's mind. “He's probably also aware I returned to S
Nation with you. In that case, does that mean he has long known that Mr. Lincoln wanted to find him
and seek revenge? Could he have deliberately set up that press conference to lure Mr. Lincoln into his
trap?”
That made Anthony's hair stand on end. “That's so scary. Everything about the political world is
terrifying. It feels as though others are monitoring my every move. There's a motive behind everything
those people do and say.”
Francesca cradled her head in her hands. “Indeed. I must remain calm and composed. I have to. I can
no longer pay heed to anyone's provocations at this time.”
She was thoroughly racked with guilt. Back then, I was too trusting of the president's wife, thus allowing
others to take advantage of it. I was framed and thrown into jail, dragging Ms. Layla and Sloan into the
mess and causing their deaths. One should learn from one's mistakes. I can't act so rashly again.
“Yes, you're absolutely right,” Anthony said while nodding emphatically. “Ms. Layla and Mr. Lincoln
approved of Danrique's character, which means he's not a bad person. It's just that the situation he's in Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
and his status will attract danger to those around him.”
“I suppose so,” Francesca murmured, struggling to gather herself.
Just as her thoughts were running wild, William called again. Francesca told him about the recording
and discussed rescuing Lincoln.
Upon hearing that, William immediately said, “It has to be a plot by the president. You mustn't fall for it.
Recordings can be edited, and it's easy to take things out of context. Besides, even if Danrique did say
those things, it could be a form of strategy. After all, one can't falter when negotiating with one's rival.
He can't possibly beg for the president to release him, right?”
“What you say does make sense,” Francesca replied, digesting his words. “But what do we do now? Is
there any other way to rescue Mr. Lincoln?”
“I'm afraid not. The only way is to wait,” William responded.
Francesca grew anxious. “How long do we need to wait? Ms. Layla is dead because of me. I can't let
anything happen to Mr. Lincoln. Forget it. I'll come up with a rescue plan on my own.”
Francesca gulped, shocked by his dark words.
I did think about what would happen if Danrique lost, but I definitely didn't anticipate that things would
become so bad and cruel. New chąpter avąilable oո Draмаnоvеls.cоm
