Chapter 1890

Chapter 1890 Be Wary Once the car went into the theater, Sloan, Mylo, and the other subordinates escorted her into the building.

Danrique had already arrived in the VIP lounge. He was currently chatting with Donald and Harrier about work.

Sitting quietly at the side were Hazel and Eva. Both of them were staring at Danrique with admiration.

Francesca was stunned. She thought it was just going to be her and him, yet he brought so many people with him, including Hazel.

“Cece…” Eva greeted enthusiastically when she saw Francesca.

As the saying went, the enemy of my enemy was my friend. Compared to Francesca, Hazel was the greater threat in Eva’s eyes.

If Hazel married Danrique and united the two families, then there was nothing Donald could do.

However, Francesca was a nobody, so Donald could still get rid of her.

Of course, in Eva’s mind, if she could use Francesca to approach Danrique, that would be for the best.

“Greetings, Ms. Cece!” Hazel stood up and greeted. Unlike Eva’s enthusiastic greeting, hers was more polite and composed.

“Greetings!” Francesca politely replied to both of them before sitting on a nearby couch.

Eva approached her and whispered next to her gossipingly, “Are you all right, Cece? I heard someone attempted to kill you last night. I was freaked out when I woke up. What exactly happened?”

“I’m not so sure myself. Your uncle had probably told you the story.” Francesca looked at her with a half-smile. “In any case, someone is trying to hurt me. You should be careful and keep your distance from me, just in case.”

“Ugh…” Eva was a little scared when she heard that. “I think so too. I met you twice, and both times I got into trouble.”

“You made yourself drunk the first time. That doesn’t have anything to do with me. However, I did involve you in the mess last night. Thankfully, we’re both unhurt.”

“Do you know who hurt you?”

“No idea.” Francesca turned to Danrique. “He’s probably investigating it.”

At that moment, Danrique was listening to Donald’s report.

Harrier was enjoying his wine elegantly. When he saw Francesca had arrived, he smiled at her warmly and even raised his wine cup to greet her.

Francesca stared at him deeply and asked, “Who’s that guy?”

“The master of one of the four great families, Mr. Harrington.” Eva covered her mouth and spoke at a low volume.

“In the four great families, the Lindberg family sits at the top spot while the Harrington family sits on the second.

His father passed away when he was young, so he’s the only member of his family. Right now, he’s in control of the Harrington family. The share he held in Lindberg Corporation is twenty percent, which makes him the second-

biggest shareholder in the company…”

“He doesn’t like Danrique?” Francesca didn’t beat around the bush.

“Shh!” Eva swiftly reminded, “Keep your voice down.”

She glanced at Harrier timidly and lowered her voice. “Mr. Harrington is ten years older than Mr. Lindberg. Eleven years ago, when the incident at the Lindberg residence occurred, Mr. Lindberg was still young. The shareholders in the company suggested making Mr. Harrington the CEO of the corporation. However, Mr. Lindberg, who was only sixteen that year, forcefully snatched that position away, angering Mr. Harrington as a result. Both of them butt heads against each other ever since. Mr. Harrington never stopped giving Mr. Lindberg a hard time, but Mr.

Lindberg always solved any problems thrown at him with no issue. It enraged Mr. Harrington because it meant he couldn’t get any dirt on Mr. Lindberg. While both of them appeared to be getting along with each other on the surface, they were actually battling against each other to the death underneath. This is something everyone knows about.”

“Since Danrique is the CEO, thus making the Lindberg family the most powerful one in Lindberg Corporation, can’t he just keep Harrier in line?” Francesca asked in a small voice too. “It seems like the others are afraid of him.”

“While Mr. Harrington possesses fewer shares compared to Mr. Lindberg, he has more supporters on his side. Both the Atkinson and Yarrow family are on his side, so even Mr. Lindberg has to mind what he does and can’t just burn his bridges with Mr. Harrington.” Eva uttered carefully, “In any case, you must never mess with this guy. Also, he’s super perverted and super crafty. Be careful around him.”

“Got it.” Francesca glanced at Harrier and requested, “Since it’s still early, how about we take a walk outside?”q
