Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby (Charlotte and Zachary)

Chapter 2259

William brought Hazel back to the castle he was staying in. When he heard her talk about the explosion

and how the driver and two other bodyguards had escaped safe and sound, he drew his brows

together.

“What's the matter?” Hazel queried. “Did we do something wrong?”

“Not exactly,” William responded in a solemn tone. “I just think that you should have been meticulous in

the act. Others would assume that your body was destroyed in the explosion if they couldn't find your

body. However, if the driver's and the subordinates' bodies couldn't be found as well, it would be

obvious to anyone that this was a trick.”

“So what?” Hazel countered. “I can't possibly let my men die, right? They've been working for me for

years, and I can't bring myself to be that ruthless. Besides, I've already had a falling out with Mrs.

President. What could she do even if she found out that I was tricking her? It's not as if they can find

me.”

“The lack of bodies means they can persuade the media to think that this was a trick meant to set Mrs.

President up,” William pointed out with a frown. “It's a lousy trick, and one that anyone can see through

it.” This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“I...” Hazel froze. She had not given it much thought.

“Does that mean our efforts have been for naught?” Monica quickly asked.

“Not completely,” William reassured. “They're already starting to talk about Mrs. President. We could

have defeated her with just one strike, but Ms. Atkinson's mercy meant that this thing will have to last

longer. It's just a battle of manipulating public opinion now to see who will be the victor.”

“I'm sorry,” Hazel said guiltily. “It could have been a perfect plan, but I ruined it. Still, I can't bring myself

to let my men die.”

“You're kind, Ms. Atkinson.” William looked at her in approval. “It's a good thing.”

His gaze made Hazel nervous, and she hastily lowered her head.

At that, Monica's heart lurched.

“Get some rest and don't think about it anymore. Prioritize your recovery,” William consoled. “You can

leave the rest to me.”

“Okay. Thank you.” Hazel rose to her feet, still not daring to look at William.

“Send Ms. Atkinson to the guest room,” Monica quickly instructed the maid.

“Yes, Ma'am.”

Once Hazel was gone, the gentle look on William's face disappeared, and he snapped his brows

together again.

“Your Highness, you've spent so much money to bribe Gold Group to let us manipulate the people, but

Ms. Atkinson messed it up,” Monica said, understanding what William was thinking about. “What a pity.”

“I thought someone like her who has been working for Danrique for so long would be someone

merciless. But as it turns out, she's indecisive,” William commented. “She can't even bear to part with a

few of her subordinates. How will she pull off grand plans like this?”

Hearing that, Monica froze. Although she lamented the loss of a flawless plan, she could understand

why Hazel did not wish to hurt innocent people. Those people were Hazel's long-term subordinates. No

matter what, she would still have feelings for them.

A hint of terror crept onto Monica's face after she heard William's words.

If my sacrifice is necessary for one of his future plans, does that mean he'll...

“I have to keep doing this even if it means spending everything I have,” William interrupted. “I have to

make sure Francesca is safe.”

“How goes the investigation on the president's daughter?” William asked. “Why isn't there any news

about it yet? It's been a long time since I've assigned this task to you.”

“Dominic is looking into this for—”

“He's useless,” William responded in frustration. “Go to Ms. Layla right now and ask for her help in this

investigation. I need to know the answer as soon as possible.”

“Understood.”
