Chapter 1838 The Tables Have Turned
Hearing that sent chills down Francescaâs spine.
Will Danrique hand me over? After all, the negotiation is going well. Not only are they not going
after him anymore, but they're also not going to interrupt his business here in the future. As a
matter of fact, they're going to restrict Pastor from crossing Danrique again. Danrique has an upper
hand now. As long as he hands me over, the market in Epea and Adrune will be his... Anyone would
make the right choice at a time like this.
Unsurprisingly, Danrique fell silent.
Three seconds... Ten seconds... Twenty seconds went by, and he still did not speak.
Oh no, oh no. I'm doomed. This ungrateful b*stardâs going to hand me over!
âMr. Lindbergâ"
âSure,â Danrique finally said.
Francescaâs heart lurched, and she balled her hands into fists. At that moment, she desperately
wanted to dart over and strangle him to death.
"A wise man indeed, Mr. Lindberg.â
âPlease hand Pastor over first,â Danrique said, his words a sudden turn of events. âHe has been
provoking and taunting me again and again. How am I supposed to answer to the people on my
side if I don't tear him from limb to limb?â
"Youâ" Roth was rendered speechless.
âShe's mine.â Danrique pointed at Francesca. âWhen I'm in danger, the youth comes for me. They're
such loyal dogs, so how can I leave them be? That'll be too cruel of me.â
You're the dog! Your entire familyâs the dogs!
Francesca was furiously gritting her teeth, but soon, she realized that he was protecting her.
In other words, she should squeeze out a tear or two in gratitude.
"Since it's just a dog, why are you so protective of him?â Roth fumed. âIs that dog more important
than the entire Epea and Adrune market?â
âThat youth's mine.â Danrique raised a brow. âI can call them a dog, but you can't!â
"Youâ"
âThat's enough.â Danrique had run out of patience. âSince you donât seem like you're sincere in this,
there's no point in continuing our conversation anymore.â
With that said, he glanced at his watch. âReturn and tell the other three that they will have to show
me their sincerity if they want to have a harmonious relationship with me. Don't assume that you
can manipulate anyone just because this is your territory. Four-plus-one, and yet, you still can't do
anything to me. If you really make me angry, I'll toss aside my business and drag you to hell with
me. Let's see who's going to suffer more!â
âYouâ" Roth's face was purple from rage as his body shook. âQuit your arrogant act and open your
eyes to the situation. You're on the losing side. With just one order from me, you and your men are
going to be ridden with bullet holes!â
âIs that so?" Danriqueâs lips curled. âWhy don't you look up and find out who will be the one ridden
with bullet holes?â
Just as his words left his mouth, a loud droning noise came from a distance away.
When Roth lifted his head, he saw dozens of helicopters heading toward him. Right then, he spotted
the golden L symbol on the helicopters.
Immediately, the group of people panicked.
Even Francesca, who was in the car, was dumbstruck by the sight.
It was then she realized that Danrique always had an ace up his sleeve. No one could ever restrain
him, and he was never in any danger. All he wanted to do was to lure out the man in the shadows
Danrique knew that the other party would not kill him, and that was why he had no fear even when
he was surrounded back then. He was just waiting for Roth to come out and negotiate with him.
On the other hand, she, the foolish woman, had come to his rescue, thinking that he would thank
her and reward her for her actions.
Francesca finally realized that, to them, she was nothing but a reckless idiot.
Sean, Sloan, and Mylo only felt admiration and gratitude toward her because of her bravery.
She was sure that, unlike them, Danrique must think of her as a fool
