Chapter 2182 A Long Way To Go “He’s heartless enough to betray his grandson, so he probably has no moral values. I wasn’t planning on getting involved in their family affairs, but he leaves me no choice now that he has crossed the line,” Danrique said coldly.

“I wonder if Ms. Felch’s injuries are serious. She’s smart, has incredible driving skills, and is always on high alert. So how did she get caught so easily anyway?” Sean asked with a worried look on his face.

Danrique frowned. “Even the strongest of fighters get tired eventually. That woman overestimated herself and thought she could handle anything. That’s why she tried to save him!”

“Ms. Felch was used,” Sean replied, only to pause when he realized he had said something he shouldn’t. “Mr.

Lindberg, do you think we might be walking right into Prince William’s trap by heading over to Danontand?”

Danrique simply kept quiet and lowered his icy-cold gaze.

“Exposing a scandal among the royal family could get them a lot of attention from the public and save those in his castle, but it would also put Ms. Felch in a dangerous situation. He knew that full well, and yet, he did it anyway. He’s willing to put her safety at risk just so he can save his own people. What a heartless b*stard!” Sean exclaimed.

Danrique’s lips curled into a smile. “That’s because he knows I would take action if anything were to happen to Francesca.”

“How would he know for sure? What if you got so mad at Ms. Felch that you decided to leave her be? What if you’re too busy to do something about it? He’s clearly wagering Ms. Felch’s life!”

“Sometimes, you just have to take a gamble in life. I believe he already thought everything through when he sent Francesca back to Xendale,” Danrique responded as he had seen right through William’s plans.

“Then we truly have underestimated him! We should’ve stopped Ms. Felch from going to Danontand if we knew this was going to happen! That way, his plan would have fallen apart!” Sean fumed.

Danrique let out a wry chuckle. “If we did that, my relationship with Francesca would have fallen apart along with his plan. There’s no use in telling her how evil the world is because she won’t believe us. Only through experiencing it herself can she truly grow and mature.”

That was when Sean finally understood what was going on. “So, you knew about this all along? You knew it was all part of Prince William’s scheme, and yet, you walked right into it to teach Ms. Felch a lesson?”

“She needs to get hurt in order to learn how evil the world can be. All we can do is let her get herself in trouble, then clean the mess up for her,” Danrique replied with a bitter smile.

He then paused and glanced out the window, adding, “That’s how Aunt Isabella taught me, remember?”

“Are you educating Ms. Felch like you would a child?” Sean asked with a chuckle. “Oh, this reminds me… You mentioned a long time ago that Prince William is no simple man. You said he was driving a wedge between you and Ms. Felch. Did you already know he was using her back then?”

“It’s not all black and white in this world. Objectively speaking, William’s feelings toward Francesca are genuine. I’m guessing he really did care for her at first. Maybe he didn’t plan on using her like this before. Maybe he was forced to. Bully a person long enough, and they will only desire revenge instead of love. People like that are capable of being terrifyingly cruel and heartless.”

Sean nodded. “Understood… I hope Ms. Felch will learn her lesson after this incident.”

“I hope so too, but I feel like she still has a long way to go…”
