Chapter 1858
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 1858 Good Side âYes, Uncle Donald.â Eva nodded.
âLetâs go in.â The man brought her into the hall.
Francesca glanced back. She could tell the man was up to no good, and it was obvious that the woman was gunning for Danrique. Thatâs actually good. If someoneâs bothering him, then he wonât have time to bother me. This way, heâll probably let me leave soon.
As she was still mulling it over, Norah greeted Danrique. âMr. Lindberg!â
âLetâs rest upstairs first,â Danrique informed softly. âWeâll come back down when itâs time for dinner.â
âYou have guests to attend to. I wonât disturb you any further.â Francesca had no intention of getting involved in his messy business.
âYouâll need to meet them sooner or later,â he uttered with a serious expression. âNo need to be afraid. Iâm here.â
She was dumbfounded. What does he mean by that?
âIâll help you upstairs, Ms. Cece.â Norah approached and held onto her.
That caused Francesca to snap out of her thoughts and stop thinking about what he said.
When she returned to her room, Francesca lay down on the couch lazily again.
Norah served her a cup of hot beverage. Francesca took a sip before going to sleep.
After Norah covered her with a blanket, she informed the maids to take care of her before leaving quietly.
Sean guided Donald and Eva to the study room downstairs. âMr. Lindberg is currently changing. Heâll join you two soon. For now, please wait in the study room.â
âAll right.â Donald looked around the building and sighed. âIt really is completely different from how it looked eleven years ago. Everythingâs changed.â
âThe castle underwent a renovation. Naturally, itâll look different,â Sean explained. âAfter all, the current owner of the castle is Mr. Lindberg!â
âThatâs true.â Donald nodded with a smile. âDanrique is an accomplished young man. Heâll surpass the older generation.â
âPlease head inside, Mr. Donald.â Sean led the two guests into the study room.
Norah entered the room with maids to serve coffee and red wine.
âCan I take a look around here?â Eva asked politely.
âOf course.â Sean made a gesture before a maid immediately showed Eva around the room.
Even though it was called a study room, it was actually more like a library. The round high-rise design exuded a mysterious and quaint Epean aura.
Eva was looking around while Sean and Donald chatted with each other. Their conversation touched on their loyalty toward Danrique and their denial of the rumors from the outside world.
Sean smiled along, though he knew what was going on in his heart.
Ever since Danrique poisoned the Lindberg family in a single night and took control of Lindberg Corporation eleven years ago, he had only one relative left, Donald.
Of course, there were other more distant relatives, but they were in no position to affect Danrique.
Donald had a lot of power in the company and the family. It wasnât a well-guarded secret that he had been persuading the branch families to join him in secret.
Additionally, Lindberg Corporation wasnât inherited by a single family. The majority of the stocks were split between three major families, which made it difficult to manage the company.
That was why Danrique wanted to expand into the Epea and Adrune market. If he could add more of his own chips to the table, he would be able to compete with other factions vying for the companyâs control.
Lindberg Corporation might seem peaceful on the surface, but it was quite the opposite beneath the facade.
Since Danrique had successfully expanded into the Epea and Adrune market, Donald immediately decided to visit with his niece to get on Danriqueâs good side.
If Donald couldnât get rid of Danrique, then all he needed to do was to make Danrique his ally.
That was the principle he lived by to survive.
He hoped he could show his good faith to Danrique through that method.
Creak!
At that moment, the door to the study room opened.
Danrique walked into the room in a comfortable and relaxing white suit.
âMr. Lindberg!â Sean greeted his employer.
Eva hastily let down the book in her hand and gracefully approached him. âDanrique!â
âI donât like you calling me that,â Danrique said coldly.
Eva was shocked by his cold attitude. She stayed silent fearfully and looked at Donald meekly.
âDanrique is right.â Donald went along with what Danrique wanted. âI think you should call him Mr. Lindberg like the others.âq
