Chapter 2054 Arrangement
“We’re just friends. Why would he sacrifice me?” Francesca brushed her off. “Ms. Layla, you’re overthinking.
However, I’ll listen to you and keep a distance from him.”
“That’s good, then.” Layla nodded and urged, “From tomorrow onward, bring Anthony along when you give William
treatment. Just let him follow you, and he can be just your helper. As long as there’s someone else there, others will
have nothing to say.”
“Okay. I understand.” Francesca agreed to it in a heartbeat.
“Also, talk it out with Danrique. Even if you want to break up with him, talk it out, and you guys can go your
separate ways peacefully. If you want to get back together with him, then reconcile with him, okay? You’re going to
strain the relationship if you keep giving him the cold shoulder. He could be a scary man to deal with if he were to
fight back. Hence, no matter what you decide to do, just patch things up so that there won’t be trouble in the
future,” Layla reminded again.

Before this, I could do whatever I wanted. Now, I have to watch what I do. Uh, this is really suffocating.”
“Well, you don’t have a choice because your fiancé is Danrique Lindberg.” Layla laughed. “However, even without
him, it’s about time you learn to be more mature. After all, you’re representing the orphanage. Your words and
actions will have an effect on the kids.”
“I’ve actually been thinking about that…” Francesca then asked, “Is it possible to transfer the orphanage to you
guys? I’ll pull out, but I’ll still give you guys money every year. That way, the orphanage won’t be affected if I get
into trouble.”
“You’ll forever be connected to us. Transferring the ownership to us won’t make a difference.” Layla ruffled
Francesca’s hair and said, “You’ll get worried if it gets transferred to an outsider, right? Therefore, you have to stay
tough and move on.”
“All right, then. I’ll go upstairs now,” Francesca answered.
“Okay.” Layla’s expression turned solemn as she watched her leave.
Right then, Lincoln knocked on the door and entered the room. “So? Did you tell her about it?”
“I couldn’t…” Layla heaved a sigh and said, “I’ve watched her grow up all these years, and I’ve already considered
her my daughter. I couldn’t bear to tell her I’m leaving.”
“You don’t have a choice, do you?” Lincoln felt rather sad as well. “Things aren’t looking good now, so we have no
choice but to leave.”
“I don’t get it. We’ve already been under the radar for so many years. How did we get exposed again?” Layla was
baffled. “Could it be that someone had exposed us on purpose?”
“I’ve thought about that possibility as well.” Lincoln frowned. “Could it be Chrono?”
“It’s possible.” Layla was angered. “If not him, who else would have a reason to do so?”
Lincoln analyzed and uttered, “The thing is that Riz Corporation’s intelligence department is comparable to the FBI.
It’s possible that they were investigating Francesca, so they ended up investigating us too. In order to exact his
revenge on Francesca, Chrono purposely exposed our identities to our nemesis. I really can’t think of any other
possibilities.”

steeled myself and killed that maniac back then.”
“There’s no point in talking about that now.” Lincoln sighed. “Now, you need to quickly convince Francesca to get
back together with Danrique. We need him to protect her. Otherwise, Francesca is going to be in danger after we
leave.”
“I’ve already said so much, so I hope it worked.” Layla was still feeling uneasy about it. “However, Danrique has a
bad temper, you know? I heard that he’s still messing around with a daughter from the four great families. Is he
really sincere toward Francesca?”
“Well, it seems like that’s the case now. Who would know what’s going to happen in the future, right? We should just
deal with what’s in front of us now.”
At that point, Lincoln’s attitude was rather optimistic. “It’s unfortunate that Francesca had agreed to treat Prince
William, and she can’t just take off at this crucial moment. Otherwise, things will be a lot easier if she could just go
to Xendale.”
