Chapter 2121 Bet
William lowered his head and uttered in a sorrowful voice, âI know, I know.â Of course, he knew but he
had no other choice. It didnât matter when he would dieâthe end was coming for him, regardless.
However, he believed he should at least make a gamble. Before, he placed all his hope on Federico.
He wished there was still kindness in the old king and that he would be given another chance once he
saw his good qualities.
After what happened today, his hope was dashed. Is it because I was discarded for so long that
Federico has wholly ignored my value? He didnât even bother to pretendâ¦
Federicoâs contemptuous attitude made William give up on their familial relationship. At that moment,
he would rather bet on Francesca and Danrique.
He hoped they would be willing to give him a hand, either out of love or friendship. Perhaps, it would be
a far more effective strategy than getting Federicoâs affection.
âSince you know, then fight against your fate till the bitter end,â Francesca uttered righteously. âDonât
worry, I wonât stand by and let you all die. Thatâs not something a doctor will do.â
âBut have you thought about L? If you donât go back in time, what will you do if he gets engaged with
someone else?â William reminded.
âIf he changes his mind that quickly, then thereâs nothing for me to be sad about. If heâs going to marry
someone because we didnât meet each other for half a year, then that means he has never truly loved
me.â
âIâm not judging your relationship with L. Iâm just saying that there are things that canât be prevented.â
Once again, he reminded with a serious tone. âDo you know how many influential and powerful people
are doing their best to marry their daughters off to him? When youâre not around, theyâll create all sorts
of opportunities to make that happen. Not only that, but those women will also use various seduction
techniques to get their hands on him. If he falls for one of their traps and that woman is backed with
prestigious status, heâs not getting out of that sticky situation. When that happens, thereâll be nothing
you can do.â
It hurt Francescaâs head when she heard that. âIsnât he just a man? Is all this really necessary?â
âL isnât an ordinary man,â William answered in a serious tone. âHe represents the various resources of
the worldâs top business families. He also has so much money that no one can finish spending it over
the course of several lifetimes. Even I, a prince, is only a side character in front of him. Youâre usually
pretty carefree, so you may not see how precious and important he is. However, others may not think
the same wayââ
âAll right, I get it.â She cut him off. âI know heâs excellent and awesome. However, thereâs nothing I can
do if he really changes his mind. Besides, he never forgot about me in our seven years apart. Why are
you suddenly repeating those rumors?â
âHis foundation wasnât stable in the past. Things are different nowâ¦â William explained. âHe had
expanded into the Epean market and stabilized his foundation. Not only that, he got rid of Frank. Now,
the three great families wonât dare to have any ideas about him. Even the president will need to treat
him politely. Currently, heâs standing at the apex of the world. Many people look up to him, but many
others also want to be his ally, including my grandfather!â
âAll right. Heâs that impressive and popular, huh?â Francesca chuckled self-deprecatingly. âSo what? In
my eyes, heâs just Danrique. His status and identity have nothing to do with me. Iâm going to call him
and tell him about my current situation. If he truly loves me, heâll wait half a year for me.â
Without delay, she pulled out her phone and prepared to call Danrique.
âFrannie!â William quickly stopped her. âDonât be stupid! If you tell him youâre staying here with me for
half a year, your relationship with him will be screwed.â
âWhy?â She still didnât understand.
âThereâs no way a prideful man like him will allow you to ignore him again and again. Not only that,
youâre doing it for another man.â Panic was heard in his voice. âMore importantly, if you donât leave
now, youâll probably never going to leave here.â
