Chapter 2242
Willam heaved a sigh. Apparently, he did not feel optimistic about how things looked.
“Is the first lady doing this to bring the three great families to power?” Layla asked, puzzled. “It's not
necessary if she's doing it for the sake of her daughter's love life.”
Francesca had once told Layla about the current state of Avery, the president's daughter, as well as the
fact that Avery had feelings for Danrique.
However, Layla thought that as the president's wife, the first lady didn't need to seek
vengeance against Francesca for something so trivial. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Danrique's fate was currently unknown, but he would not forgive the first lady if he managed to survive
and learn the truth.
William's countenance grew solemn. “Perhaps for a variety of reasons. But from how things currently
look, I'm almost certain she's the mastermind. She deliberately summoned Francesca over to meet the
Atkinsons and left them alone on purpose. Knowing Francesca's hot temper, she expected a conflict to
arise and believed Francesca would surely retaliate. Once Francesca retaliates, Gerard will die, and
Francesca will become the main suspect.”
Monica exclaimed, “How devious! Will they send Ms. Felch to prison? I don't think they would dare to,
as the Lindberg family holds power here even in Mr. Lindberg's absence. They wouldn't dare act so
boldly, right?”
Layla agreed with Monica, which was a rare occurrence. “She's right. What's more, Danrique is still
alive. He might even be back in a few days.”
“Perhaps they don't want him to come back,” William suggested suddenly. The atmosphere in the room
grew tense at once.
The three women gaped at him.
“If L does not return, the president can instate an obedient puppet who will take over Lindberg
Corporation.”
William's lips curled into a sneer as if he had already gotten used to such devious methods.
“If L is dead, then getting rid of Francesca becomes a matter of urgency. If L is still alive, however,
making a move against Francesca now would force him to show himself. And once he does, countless
crises await him.”
Francesca gasped involuntarily. “So that is their plan. I was wondering why would the first lady attack
me with such vicious measures. Turns out it isn't because of a personal vendetta, after all. There are
huge benefits in it for her.”
“Doesn't the president care that his wife is doing these things?” Monica asked.
Layla had seen through everything. “What a redundant question. All he has to do is sit back and do
nothing, and his wife will grant him the power he desires. If anything happens, the first lady would be
his scapegoat, shouldering everything for him. For all we know, he doesn't know anything. If their plan
succeeds in the end, he would be the greatest beneficiary.”
Monica shuddered. “It's frightening how evil people can be.”
Francesca said irritably, “How is this different from Frank? They're all like 'death to all who oppose me!'”
“Well, that's how it is in a dog-eat-dog world. Even blood-related siblings would lash out and kill each
other, so what's to stop them from doing the same to L, who is nobody to them?” William sighed with a
bitter smile. Updated at Drąmanovеls.cоm
