Chapter 2198
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 2197 Reflect William said goodbye to everyone and ordered Robin to take good care of the castle. He also told them he would return to them once his legs were cured. Surprised, Robin asked, âAre you not bringing me along, Your Highness?â
âI need someone to hold the fort,â William replied in a deep tone. âThese people have been poisoned. For as long as theyâre not healed, Iâm going to worry about them. You should stay here and recuperate. At the same time, protect the others. Francesca and Monica will take care of me in Erihal. Itâs safe there.â
In response, Robin nodded and replied, âOkay. Rest assured, Your Highness. Iâll protect the castle.â
âThe moment I return, Iâll prepare the antidote and send it here. By then, you guys just have to take the medicine according to the right dosage. William will be in safe hands. Donât worry,â Francesca uttered.
âYes. Iâll take good care of His Highness,â Monica chimed in. âMs. Felch, Ms. Monica, thank you.â
Everyone thanked them once again.
âDonât mention it. Weâre all friends here.â Francesca glanced at her watch and said, âIâll leave first. Say your goodbyes and come out soon. Remember to bring Williamâs travel documents, okay?â
âAll right.â Francesca entered the car and noticed how troubled Danrique seemed. âWhatâs the matter with you?
Whatâs on your mind?â
âItâs nothing.â While looking at his phone, Danrique said, âIâve just received a call. We need to get back as soon as possible.â
âWhat happened?â Francesca asked anxiously.
Without giving her an answer, Danrique merely gestured at Sean.
Seeing that, Sean went to rush William and the rest.
Moments later, Monica and William came out. Robin and the rest brought Williamâs luggage and sent them off.
Upon bidding them farewell, William got into the car.
As the vehicle gradually drove away, William looked back at Robin, the others, and the castle through the rearview mirror. Right then, he made a vow in his heart. One day, Iâm going to stand on my feet once again and seek justice from the people who bullied me. At the same time, Iâll take back everything thatâs supposed to be mine!
On the way to the airport, Danrique was talking on the phone non-stop and going through all his documents.
Francesca didnât dare to disturb him, so she just kept staring at her checks.
When Danrique was done with his work, he wrapped his arm around her. Only then did she dare to ask, âWill I be able to cash these checks in Erihal?â
âHaha!â Danrique laughed. âYou just canât keep your mind off of your money, can you?â
âThis is a lot of money, you know?â Francesca pouted and continued, âYouâve already lost so much. Shouldnât I at least get something back in return?â
âYes. Youâre right.â Danrique pinched her cheek gently and said, âSean will deal with your checks. Once the conversion is done, the money will be transferred to your account. Donât worry.â
Upon hearing that, Francesca giggled gleefully. âThatâs great! By the way, what exactly happened to you? You seemed so troubled just now.â
âThereâs a problem I need to fix when I get back.â Danrique didnât give her a direct answer. âEnough of that. Rest, okay? I need to go through some documents.â
He rubbed his temples, put on his glasses, and continued working.
âMr. Lindberg, you havenât slept in a few days. Perhaps you should take a break,â Sean uttered caringly.
âShut up!â Danrique growled softly.
Sean quickly lowered his head and kept mum.
Francesca felt embarrassed when she saw how busy Danrique was. Heâs so busy that he doesnât even have the time to sleep, yet he had to take the time to fix my mess. Besides, he gave up so much to help me rescue the others. It wasnât his business in the first place, and he never wanted to meddle in it. However, he had to risk his company and Erihal just to help me. He even came all the way to Danontand to negotiate with Federico. Every single thing he has done was for me. Come to think of it, it seems like Iâve been constantly troubling him since the beginning. I should really do something for him. I canât let him tire himself out like this again in the future.
