Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby novel Chapter 1830

“Why?” Francesca was flustered. “It's just a necklace. It isn't even expensive.”

“You're noisy,” Danrique said curtly. He was too tired to continue arguing with her. “Get out now.”

“Hey!” Francesca huffed.

Right then, Sean knocked on the door and came in to report to Danrique. He saw Francesca inside and his employer wearing just a pair of pants, his shirt nowhere in sight. Utterly rattled, he spun on his heels to flee the scene.

“Come back!” Danrique demanded.

“Yes.” Sean came to a halt and turned over cautiously. He stood rooted to the spot as awkwardness engulfed his entire being.

“Pay her the medical fee,” Danrique ordered.

“Yes.” Sean instantly offered the check to Francesca. “I've prepared the check for you. Here you go.”

Francesca accepted the check. The sight of the amount made her beam in delight. “Besides this, what about the reward I should get after saving you?” she inquired.

Hmm, what excuse should I conjure to get the necklace back?

“I...” Sean shifted his gaze to Danrique.

“I don't owe you one,” Danrique said in exasperation. “If it wasn't for you, William wouldn't have gotten shot, and things wouldn't be this complicated. How dare you ask for a reward?”

“What do you mean?” Francesca was confused. “Are you being ungrateful?”

“The snake bit Pastor, and he has one foot in the grave. As he is in possession of important information, the force behind him is doing their best to capture Mr. Lindberg and Prince William,” Sean explained.

“Is that even my fault?” Francesca was dumbfounded. “If I didn't take action, you would've been controlled by Pastor. Even if you had a plan and killed all the assassins out there, his men were inside the room...”

“Mr. Lindberg could take care of those minor figures easily,” Sean revealed with a grin. “Even if you didn't take action, we were certain of our win!”

“Do you mean I made things worse?”
