Chapter 2234 Meeting Hazel Again
Despite being extremely worried about Francesca as well, Layla comforted Sloan upon noticing how distraught he
was. She said, “There’s no need to worry. The average person won’t be able to harm her.” “But—”
“I noticed there was an animal-training facility behind here. Why don’t you bring me there to take a look?” Layla
suddenly changed the subject.
“Okay.” Francesca drove to North Hotel, the place where she agreed to meet the first lady at.
The first lady’s car was already parked outside, and the hotel manager and her bodyguards were standing at the
entrance. They walked up and greeted Francesca respectfully as soon as they saw her.
Francesca got out of the car and strode into the hotel in a hurry. “Has Mrs. President arrived?” “She arrived a while
ago.”
The bodyguards brought her in, whereas the hotel manager stood at the entrance, waiting for the Atkinson family
members to arrive.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Francesca entered the hotel, she noticed there was no one in the hotel. It was apparent that the first lady
had booked the entire place.
The first lady was sipping on her tea when Francesca entered the private room, and when she saw the latter, she
beckoned her over. “Oh, you’re here. Come and have a taste of this tea.”
Francesca was not in the mood to enjoy tea, but she still sat down and waited patiently.
The first lady patted Francesca’s hand and reminded her, “Francesca, I’ll ask the questions when they arrive later.
Don’t worry. They will not dare to hide anything from me.”
As soon as the first lady finished speaking, the hotel manager brought in the representatives from the Atkinson
family.
Francesca was dumbfounded when she turned around and saw who it was. Hazel, who was severely injured, was
wheeled into the room by Gerard. The first lady was shell-shocked. “Hazel? When did you return?”
That was also the question Francesca wanted to ask. “I reached home around three in the morning.”
Hazel’s voice was hoarse and deep as she spoke, and there were bandages wrapped around her head, a cast on
her leg, and abrasions on her arms. To make matters worse, she was shot in the chest. It seemed laborious for her
to even sit up straight.
“How did you end up like this? What happened? Where’s Danrique?” Francesca asked anxiously. Hazel was still too
weak to explain the situation at length, so she remained silent. The first lady queried as well, “Yeah. What
happened?”
“Mr. Lindberg and I were attacked. He covered me so I could retreat first. While escaping, I got hurt and lost
consciousness. When I woke up, I was already in the hospital and had lost contact with Mr. Lindberg and his
subordinates. I have already sent people to look for him, but there hasn’t been any news. I have no choice but to
return to Erihal when I was attacked again yesterday…” Hazel explained with difficulty.
Upon hearing that, Francesca grew even more uneasy. Hazel was still severely injured even though Danrique and
his men were covering her. It was evident that the firepower from the attack was highly intensive.
“How is this possible? Who attacked you guys?” the first lady asked anxiously.
Hazel furrowed her brows. “It should be Pastor and Frank. Previously, Pastor’s business was affected when Mr.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLindberg expanded his business into the Epean market, so Pastor has been holding a grudge against him. Moreover,
the people backing Pastor wanted to rope in Mr. Lindberg, but he did not agree. Therefore, those people let Pastor
do whatever he liked. Also, their power had grown exponentially with Frank’s and the Nacht family’s assistance,
coupled with the fact that we were in a disadvantageous position as Mr. Lindberg did not bring enough men along
this time…”
Gerard sighed before replying, “Danrique was careless this time. He usually brings a lot of men with him whenever
he goes out to work. Why did he only take a dozen people this time?”
Hazel glared at Francesca hatefully upon hearing his remarks. “Apparently, he has to leave some men behind to
protect certain people at home. Mr. Lindberg was in a rush this time and did not make proper preparations,
allowing them to take advantage of the situation.”
“Enough with the nonsense. Where were you when you guys were attacked? Tell me the precise location and
situation clearly.” Francesca was unfazed by what Hazel said.
“I already explained to Gordon. I care more about Mr. Lindberg’s safety than you do!” Hazel replied coldly.
