Chapter 2234
Sloan was very worried, but Layla reassured him in turn, “Don’t worry, ordinary people can’t hurt her at all.”
“But ……”
“I just noticed a beast training ground at the back? Why don’t you take me to have a look.”
Layla suddenly changed the subject.
“Okay.”
……
Francesca drove the car to the agreed location, the North Star Hotel.
The president’s wife’s car was already parked outside, and her personal bodyguard and the head of the hotel were waiting at the entrance, and when they saw Francesca, they hurriedly greeted her with a respectful greeting.
Francesca got down from the car and hurried into the hotel, “Has Madam arrived?”
“She has arrived long ago.”
The bodyguard led Francesca inside, while the head of the hotel stayed at the entrance to wait for her.
Francesca found that there was no one at the hotel today, so it was obvious that the President’s wife had chartered it.
When she came to the private room, the president’s wife was sipping tea, and when she saw Francesca coming, she quickly greeted him, “Francesca, you’re here, come and try this black tea.”
Francesca did not have the heart to drink the tea at all, but still sat down and waited patiently.
“Francesca, when they come later, I will ask.” The president’s wife patted Francesca’s hand and admonished, “Don’t worry, they definitely won’t dare to hide anything from me.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, the head of the hotel came in with the people from the Atkinson family.
Francesca turned her head to look and couldn’t help but freeze.
Gerard was pushing a wheelchair, and sitting on it was actually the seriously injured Hazel.
“Hazel?” The president’s wife was very shocked, “When did you come back?”
This was also the question Francesca wanted to ask.
“I arrived home at around three in the morning.”
Her voice was hoarse and low, her head was wrapped in thick gauze, one leg was in a cast, her arm was bruised, and most crucially, she had been shot in the chest and was now struggling to sit.
“How did you get like that? What the h-e-l-l happened? Where’s Danrique?” Francesca asked after her anxiously.
Hazel was very weak and did not speak.
At this point, the president’s wife inquired, “Yes, what exactly happened?”
“Sir and I were attacked, he covered my retreat first, in the process of escaping, I was injured and passed out, I woke up to find myself lying in the hospital, while Sir and his men all lost contact, I sent people to look for him but never found any news, yesterday I was attacked again, so I had to go back to Erihal first.”
Hazel strained to tell what happened.
Hearing these words, Francesca’s heart was even more disturbed, Danrique and his men covered for Hazel’s evacuation, Hazel could even be injured so badly, it was evident that the firepower of the attack was fierce at that time.
“How did this happen? What kind of people attacked you?” The president’s wife asked anxiously.
“It should be the priest and Adams’s men.” Hazel frowned, “Previously, when Mr.Lindberg expanded the Epean market and cut off the priest’s money, the priest had been harbouring a grudge, and the forces behind him wanted to pull in Mr.Lindberg, and Mr.Lindberg did not agree. So, that gang let the priest do whatever he wanted, and with the help of Adams and the Nacht family, their power is getting bigger by the day, plus sir didn’t bring enough people this time, so we’ve been at a disadvantage.”
“Danrique has really been negligent and careless this time.” Gerard sighed, “He usually takes many people with him when he goes out on an errand, why did he only bring a dozen people this time?”
“It was said that he wanted to leave more men at home to protect the others.” Hazel glared at Francesca with hatred, “Mr.Lindberg acted in haste this time and was obviously ill-prepared, which is why he was exploited.”
“Cut the crap.” Francesca didn’t eat her words, “Where were you attacked? Tell me the exact address, the specifics.”
“I’ve dealt with Gordon on all of them.” Hazel said coldly, “I care more about Mr.Lindberg’s safety than you do!”
