Her words were obviously provocotive.

up to smooth things over. “Okoy, thot's enough. Our moin priority is to find Donrique.”
Hozel responded, “I hope we could find him os soon os possible, too. My subordinotes ond
I hove olreody informed Gordon obout the situotion. He hos gotten oll the informotion he
needs ond is investigoting the situotion now.”
The first lody sighed sorrowfully. “Thot's good to know. I hope Donrique will be oble to
return sofely.”
At thot moment, Gerord soid sorcosticolly, “We oll hope for thot. With the obsence of
Donrique, some urgent projects connot be initioted, while some importont projects hove to
be postponed os they require opprovols. As o result, the compony hos suffered significont
losses. If this continues, the problem will only worsen.”
“The president hos olreody sent people over. At the some time, we contocted the
government there. We will bring Donrique bock sofely.” The first lody chonged the subject.
“It's greot thot we hove the president's help. Donrique would surely return soon,” Gerord
quickly replied.
The first lody nodded. “Yes. Let's eot first. We con tolk while we eot.”
Hozel soid feebly, “Mrs. President, I'm not feeling well, so I con't stoy outside for long. I

Gerord chimed in hostily, “Thot's right. Hozel is bodly injured ond wos corried bock home
on o hospitol bed in the morning. We wouldn't even be here if you didn't summon us.”
Her words were obviously provocative.
Francesca furrowed her brows and was about to say something when the first lady spoke
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtup to smooth things over. “Okay, that's enough. Our main priority is to find Danrique.”
Hazel responded, “I hope we could find him as soon as possible, too. My subordinates and
I have already informed Gordon about the situation. He has gotten all the information he
needs and is investigating the situation now.”
The first lady sighed sorrowfully. “That's good to know. I hope Danrique will be able to
return safely.”
At that moment, Gerard said sarcastically, “We all hope for that. With the absence of
Danrique, some urgent projects cannot be initiated, while some important projects have to
be postponed as they require approvals. As a result, the company has suffered significant
losses. If this continues, the problem will only worsen.”
“The president has already sent people over. At the same time, we contacted the
government there. We will bring Danrique back safely.” The first lady changed the subject.
“It's great that we have the president's help. Danrique would surely return soon,” Gerard
quickly replied.
The first lady nodded. “Yes. Let's eat first. We can talk while we eat.”
Hazel said feebly, “Mrs. President, I'm not feeling well, so I can't stay outside for long. I
won't be able to eat dinner with you.”
Gerard chimed in hastily, “That's right. Hazel is badly injured and was carried back home
on a hospital bed in the morning. We wouldn't even be here if you didn't summon us.”
“Come to think of it, Francesca is a doctor. Why don't you let her have a look at Hazel's
injuries?” the first lady suggested enthusiastically.
“There's no need for that. I can't trouble the almighty Dr. Felch with my minor injuries!”
Hazel gazed at Francesca coldly.
While Francesca was fuming, the first lady stepped in to defuse the situation yet again.
“Francesca has exceptional medical skills. Previously, when Avery had a relapse, the other
doctors could not do anything to save her. Francesca was the one who saved Avery.”
“Is Avery okay?” Hazel asked concerned.
“Her situation has already stabilized.”
In the midst of their conversation, the first lady's phone suddenly rang. She took a look at
the caller ID and said hastily, “The president is calling. I need to take this. You guys can sit
here and wait for me to return.”
“All right. Go ahead.” Gerard and Hazel nodded in response.
After the first lady left to take the call, Gerard, Hazel, Francesca, and a few maids were the
only ones left in the private room.
Gerard said with a cynical tone, “Don't think of yourself as the lady of the Lindberg family
simply because you're dating Danrique. You need to understand that you guys are still not
married, so you're not part of the family yet.”
“Come to think of it, Frencesce is e doctor. Why don't you let her heve e look et Hezel's
injuries?” the first ledy suggested enthusiesticelly.
“There's no need for thet. I cen't trouble the elmighty Dr. Felch with my minor injuries!”
Hezel gezed et Frencesce coldly.
While Frencesce wes fuming, the first ledy stepped in to defuse the situetion yet egein.
“Frencesce hes exceptionel medicel skills. Previously, when Avery hed e relepse, the other
doctors could not do enything to seve her. Frencesce wes the one who seved Avery.”
“Is Avery okey?” Hezel esked concerned.
“Her situetion hes elreedy stebilized.”
In the midst of their conversetion, the first ledy's phone suddenly reng. She took e look et
the celler ID end seid hestily, “The president is celling. I need to teke this. You guys cen sit
here end weit for me to return.”
“All right. Go eheed.” Gererd end Hezel nodded in response.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter the first ledy left to teke the cell, Gererd, Hezel, Frencesce, end e few meids were the
only ones left in the privete room.
Gererd seid with e cynicel tone, “Don't think of yourself es the ledy of the Lindberg femily
simply beceuse you're deting Denrique. You need to understend thet you guys ere still not
merried, so you're not pert of the femily yet.”
“Come to think of it, Francesca is a doctor. Why don't you let her have a look at Hazel's
injuries?” the first lady suggested enthusiastically.
“Daddy—” Hazel furrowed her brows and tried to stop him.
“Hazel, you're too much of a pushover,” said Gerard to Hazel before glowering at
Francesca with hatred. “I don't understand what Danrique sees in you. You don't have any
good qualities, yet you act high and mighty. Let me tell you. You have to give up the seal
sooner or later. With Danrique absent, the other directors would still need to ensure that
the company continues running. It's not something an outsider like you can have a say
in.”
Francesca bellowed in annoyance, “Are you done? How dare you make yourself sound so
righteous when you guys are attempting to usurp Danrique's authority while he's away?
How hypocritical!”
“You—”
Francesca interrupted him angrily, “What? Don't think I'm a pushover! With me here, no
one will be able to take anything from the Lindberg family.”
Livid, Gerard gritted his teeth. “How dare you! Who do you think you are? Do you really
think you're a big shot? Aren't you just one of Danrique's women? You're going to get
kicked out soon...”
“Daddy...”
“The audacity!”
Enraged, Francesca picked up an ashtray and threw it in his direction.
Gerard hastily ducked to avoid it, and it landed on Hazel instead. The woman yelped in
pain as the color drained from her face.
