Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby novel Chapter 2159

Francesca had processed everything Danrique said earlier, except for that last bit. She refused to hear a word of it. On top of that, she was disgusted.

From the moment Francesca and Hazel met, the latter had behaved like a leech, latching onto them and following them like a shadow that refused to depart.

Moreover, Francesca had personally heard what Diana had to say about Hazel. How could Danrique still defend Hazel in good faith, saying that she was not that bad?

This made Francesca feel ill.

She also thought that Danrique was protecting Hazel.

“How is your injury? Let me take a look.”

Danrique reached over to look at Francesca's injury, but Francesca immediately retracted her hand like a scalded cat. With a huff, she turned around to ignore him.

Stunned, he asked, “What is it? Are you angry at me now?”

Is this not obvious enough?

Displeasure is written all over my face now. Why does he still need to ask?

This, of course, made Francesca angrier.

“You were fine before. Why are you suddenly angry at me now? What did I do wrong?” Danrique was confused.

Francesca remained silent. She appeared to be seething, like a ticking time bomb that was about to explode.

Danrique was rendered speechless and kicked the passenger seat ahead of him.

At that, Sean, who had been afraid to speak this whole time, had to step in for his employer. “Err, Ms. Felch, I don't think that's what Mr. Lindberg meant. Please don't misunderstand.”

“Oh? Then what did he mean?” demanded Francesca angrily.

“Yes. What was it then?”

Danrique still did not understand what it was he said to have upset Francesca like this.

“Mr. Lindberg was only trying to say that Ms. Atkinson was likely not involved in certain matters. Besides, it's not likely that she'd dare to cause a scene in front of Mr. Lindberg or have ill intentions toward you. He was not praising her.”

Sean had understood it from the start, but it was a shame that his dull employer had not realized it.
