Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby (Charlotte and Zachary)

Chapter 2221

Overwhelming joy filled Francesca's heart as she saw the face of the figure. Without hesitation, she

pushed the car door open to jump out.

“Hey, Ms. Felch. The car hasn't stopped yet—”

The subordinate quickly pulled the car to a stop as he spoke.

Unbothered, Francesca got out of the car in a flash. “Ms. Layla!” she cried out.

Layla heard the familiar voice the moment she was out of the car. As she turned around, she

immediately caught sight of Francesca running toward her. In the next second, Francesca flung herself

into Layla's embrace.

“There, there!”

Layla wrapped Francesca tightly in her arms.

“Oh gosh!” Francesca was on the brink of tears. “We finally meet again! I was so worried!”

Having been caught between life and death, the two of them were immensely emotional to be able to

see each other again.

“You're right. It's good to be able to see you again.” Layla stroked Francesca's hair affectionately with a

motherly love in her eyes. “Your hair's gotten longer. You look like a girl now.”

“Pfft!” Francesca laughed sheepishly. “I've always been a girl.”

“Looks like your fake persona is gone, haha!” Layla laughed as she caressed Francesca's cheeks. “You

seem to have grown a little chubby.”

“You're joking, right? I've been hustling day and night lately, yet I've somehow gained weight?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Francesca quickly checked her reflection.

“Ms. Felch, let's enter the house first.” Just then, Gordon walked over and greeted them. “It's quite

windy out, and Ms. Layla's wounds are not completely healed yet. She needs to rest.”

“Wounds?” Francesca immediately began to inspect Layla's body. “Ms. Layla, how are you feeling?

Where have you gotten injured?”

“I'm feeling much better.” Layla grabbed Francesca's hands, stopping the latter from continuing the

physical examination. “Let's head inside first.”

“Okay.” Francesca nodded and helped Layla into the building.

Just then, Monica came forward to greet Layla. Smiling, Layla nodded at the former in response.

Francesca talked to Monica for a while and urged the latter to return to William to take care of him.

With that, Monica hurried away.

Layla turned to look at Monica as they parted ways. “Is that Monica the FBI agent that saved you in S

Nation the other time?” she asked.

“Yep. That's her.” Francesca nodded. “You remember?”

“She works for Prince William, I suppose?” Layla asked again.

“Mm-hmm...” Francesca began to explain briefly the relationship between William and Monica as well

as the recent happenings. “William has been staying here to recuperate. I go over every day to give

him treatment,” she concluded.

“Who would have thought...” Layla trailed off, deep in thought.

“Who would have thought what?” Francesca asked.

“Who would have thought that Danrique would have such high principles?” Layla commented wistfully.

“His feelings for you have far exceeded my expectations.”

Francesca could not help but let out a gentle laugh. “I was talking to you about William. How did you

come up with that conclusion?”

When Francesca heard that, her smile faded as anxiety rose in her chest. “Price?”

“He's just a businessman. Why should a king show him that much respect?” Layla threw a question

back at Francesca. “If it weren't for money?”

“Money is a small issue, and investment is not a fixed amount.” Layla smiled. “If I guessed correctly, he

must have given the king shares of Lindberg Corporation.” Draмanоvеls.com

“What? Shares?” The shock made Francesca's heart lurch. “You're kidding me, right?”

Having Lindberg Corporation shares equaled sitting at home and waiting for money to flow passively

into one's pocket.

And it would be a tremendous amount.

That truly was a hefty price to pay.
