Chapter 2268
“Your Highness.” Monica gently patted William’s arm, William then responded and raised his eyes to look at Layla, “Aunt, don’t worry, now that Francesca has Mr.Lindberg’s baby, those people are more than likely not to hurt her. ”
Layla: “Didn’t you say that they were going to cut off Francesca’s diet? That’s still not harming? She’s still pregnant, she won’t last long if she keeps not eating or drinking.”
Layla’s tone had grown a little anxious.
“It will be fine until Gordon returns.” William soothed, “Don’t worry too much, you’d better go back to rest and refresh yourself so that we can discuss countermeasures when Gordon returns.”
“Your Highness is very shrewd!”
Layla left these words and departed indignantly.
Monica looked at her departing back, somewhat at a loss for words, “What does Auntie mean by this?”
William lowered his eyes and continued to sip his tea without speaking.
Sloan chased her out to follow her aunt and asked in a low voice, “Auntie, what is wrong with you?”
“Don’t you see?” Layla said indignantly, “When he learned that Danrique was not dead, he did not make a move to save Francesca, now he is closing his hand and waiting for Gordon to think of a way, this kind of person, he is too shrewd in his calculations!”
“Uh…” Sloan froze, “No way? I see he’s quite anxious, he’s been trying to save Ms.Felch with this family, and he’s even called us all over.”
“That was at the beginning, he was worried that if something really happened to Francesca, he would have no one to cure his own leg, that’s why he rushed to call us over to think of a solution, but then when he found out that Danrique was still alive and Gordon had also rushed back, he didn’t move. He had probably spent a lot of money previously helping Hazel expose the president’s wife and creating public pressure, but now that he saw that Danrique could help save Francesca, he withdrew his hand and didn’t move. This person is calculating every step very shrewd, careful trial and error, weighing the gains and losses, the eyes of the heart is really much.” Layla shook her head and sighed, “Luckily the person Francesca fell in love with was not him, otherwise I would have been furious.”
“Don’t be angry, auntie.” Sloan said comfortingly, “I do think that he has helped a lot this time, he didn’t give his all, and I can’t blame him, after all, he is having a hard time too, he has so many responsibilities behind him, he has to leave himself a way out anyhow. Besides, Ms.Felch is Mr.Lindberg’s woman, and it is right that Mr.Lindberg should save her, and it is nothing for him to learn that Mr.Lindberg is still alive, so long as Ms.Felch comes back safely.”
“You are a kind child.” Layla shook her head, “Before, Francesca had gone out of her way to help him, and Danrique had given a lot because of it, he is now returning the favour and still counting so clearly, this is not generous!”
“You can’t say that either.” Sloan was very objective, “Mr.Lindberg has spent a lot to help him, but that is not so much to affect the foundation, after all, Mr.Lindberg has a lot. But His Highness wasn’t subtle when he saved Ms.Felch, and I heard from Monica that what he gave to the Gold family alone was thirty percent of his family fortune.”
“What’s that little family fortune?” Layla was dismissive, “Francesca almost even took her life to save him.”
“That’s true.” Speaking of this, Sloan’s expression turned grave, “If Mr.Lindberg helped His Highness out of necessity, then Ms.Felch was purely out of affection, if it were me, I would even give my life to Ms.Felch, let alone that little family fortune.”
“That’s the truth.” Layla looked at Sloan appreciatively, “Business people help each other out of interest, but Francesca is helping him with nothing in mind, in the place of a person with a conscience, he should give his all, but he is still calculating in a thousand ways at this time, it is really…”
“Perhaps he thinks that it would be more certain for the gentleman to do the job.” Sloan soothed, “Auntie, don’t be angry, let’s go back first, His Highness is right, you should refresh yourself now and wait for Gordon to come back before you have the spirit to discuss countermeasures.”
