Chapter 2238
“But it’s obviously a familiar face, the Lindberg family is so big, three kilometres from the sentry post to here, seven castles in total, he was able to find his way here with precision and find the location of the study, so he’s obviously been here before or followed certain characters.” Layla analysed.
“Then it should be someone from the three great families.” Francesca’s brow furrowed, “How impatient, letting someone in to steal the seal after so little time!”
After a pause, she added, “Could it be someone from the Atkinson family? They probably knew I was going out to meet the President’s wife today, so they sent someone in while I was away, or perhaps, an alliance of the three families?”
“You’re right.” Layla nodded, “At this time, the three great clans are one, as long as they overthrow Danrique, they three great clans will be able to equally share the big fat piece of meat that is Lindberg’s.”
Just as the words left her mouth, the maid came knocking on the door again to report, “Ms.Felch, Mr. Donald requests to see you.”
“Tell him to get lost.”
“Wait a minute.” Layla hastily stopped, “He said he asked to see you.”
Francesca understood Layla’s hint and hurriedly opened the door to the room and inquired, “What did he say?”
“He didn’t come in, he waited outside and asked someone to send word that he was asking to see Ms.Felch and had something important to discuss.” The maid stated in her original words.
Francesca and Layla looked at each other and ordered, “Let him in.”
“Yes.” The maid hurriedly went to convey it.
“If my guess is correct, he should be here to beg for peace.” Layla whispered, “If the three great clans take away the seal, the first one will be to kick him out, so he must come to make peace with you now and be on the same side as you so that he can have a chance of survival. Moreover, I observed that last time when Kevin and Gerard came to make trouble, Donald had been standing at the back without making a sound or following the trouble, and looked apprehensive, which shows that he was clear in his mind. Once we let the people from the three big families take the seal, Lindbergs will have to change the sky, and at that time…”
“You are right in your analysis.” Francesca agreed very much, “He doesn’t have many shares in Lindbergs, nor does he have much status, he only has a place because his surname is Lindbergs, if Danrique is really taken away from him, then he won’t have a way to live.”
“That’s right.” Laylla said, “If he’s here to make peace, you can give him a chance, after all, he knows more about the three great families and the group and should know how to deal with them.”
“Good.” Francesca nodded and quickly walked downstairs.
Donald came in from outside, and this time, he was no longer as arrogant as before, but cautious and apprehensive, and even more nervous when he saw Francesca.
“Is Uncle Lindberg looking for me for something?” Francesca asked bluntly.
“I ……” Donald thought for a moment and said, “I want to talk to you.”
“Good.” Francesca made a gesture and Norah brought in the refreshments, then dismissed the other maids.
“What does Uncle Lindberg want to talk about?” Francesca asked directly.
“I ……,” Donald thought for a moment and gathered his courage to say, “I apologise for my attitude last time.”
Saying that, Donald lowered his head and sincerely apologized, “Last time it was my reckless attitude and my words were wrong, I hope you won’t take it personally for the sake of my surname Lindberg.”
“Uncle Lindberg is serious.” Francesca gave Layla a look and immediately said, “We’re all family, there’s no need to be like this.”
“That’s good, that’s good.” Donald breathed a sigh of relief, “I came this time to tell you that the seal must not be given to them, otherwise, Lindbergs will fall into the hands of these people.”
“I know.” Francesca nodded, “They even sent someone to steal it today, fortunately auntie found it in time and didn’t let them succeed.”
“It’s good that they didn’t succeed.” Donald turned white with fear, “Do you have any news of Danrique now?”
