Mysterious Male Escort Is a Mogul

Chapter 2232

“Maybe she didn't want the crowd in the hall to overhear her talking earlier,” Francesca postulated. “Especially when Monica was around. It seems that the first lady doesn't quite like Monica.”

Layla weighed up Francesca's reasoning and instantly acknowledged it, for the former, too, wasn't that fond of Monica herself. From her perspective, Monica had always been acting shady, seemingly shrewd and cunning to the core.

Yet, she knew very well that Monica was merely working for William. Even if William had been harboring any sort of ulterior motive, he would still have to take Francesca's side for the time being.

After all, both Francesca and Danrique could offer him the protection that he needed.

“Danrique has already been missing for so long. I'm really worried,” uttered Francesca with concern. “I'm not going to give up any chance, so even if it were a trap, I'd still go check it out.”

“All right, then. I'll go with you,” said Layla as she held Francesca's hand.

The latter shook her head. “No. I can handle it alone. You guard the house. Considering that we don't have as many bodyguards with us, I'm afraid those two sc*mbags might send someone to steal the seal.”

“True enough.” Layla bobbed her head upon hearing that. “Sloan and the rest won't be able to manage on their own. And if those two were to really come after the seal, it'd be a disaster...”

“But with you around, there's nothing more for me to worry about.”
