Meanwhile, Danrique had just learned that Francesca was heading to the palace with William.

Consumed by rage, he smashed his phone. “That foolish woman!”

I have already threatened her with a breakup. And yet, instead of compromising, she ends up

protecting William. Is she just stupid, or does she love William instead of me?

The more Danrique thought about it, the angrier he became.

“Mr. Lindberg, calm down,” Sean consoled him. “I think Ms. Felch is either too kind or na?ve. That's why

she is being manipulated by Prince William. Soon, the truth will find its way to her.”

“That's not being na?ve. It's pure stupidity!” Danrique exploded in anger. “This time, I must teach her a

lesson so that she learns once and for all how insidious men can be!”

“But...” Sean decided to swallow his words instead.

“What do you want to say?” Danrique saw through him. “You think I'm being too cruel to William?”

“Prince William's comeback will only benefit us. He's one of our partners after all. Once he succeeds as

king, the future of our collaboration will be bright. On the other hand, if one of his cousins ascends the

throne, we will lose one of our key interest groups. Since we have just expanded to the Epean market,

it would be in our interest to broaden our network and gain a foothold instead.”

At that moment, Sean—worried about angering Danrique—paused to observe his reaction.

“Continue.” Danrique gestured.

“I know you're angry, mostly because Prince William has used Ms. Felch and taken advantage of your

identity to achieve his ives. So all you want to do now is to put him in his place. That, I can

understand. But I feel that there's no benefit in us destroying him. Not only would we lose a partner, but

we might also end up antagonizing Ms. Felch.”

Danrique, brimming with emotions, exclaimed, “Are you saying that Francesca will have a fallout with

me because of William? After all that I've done, can't that foolish woman see what's going on?”

“With Ms. Felch's intelligence and wisdom, I'm sure she'll figure out sooner or later. But...” Sean

pondered for a fleeting moment. “Mr. Lindberg, you have neglected an important point—Ms. Felch is

still a doctor!”

“So what if she is?” Danrique was truly clueless.

Sean's words cause Danrique to fall into deep thought. Despite seeing the logic in it, he still felt

indignant. “Am I really not that important to her compared to William?” Re?d at Dr?mа?оvеls.com

After finishing his soliloquy in a single breath, Sean advised, “Didn't you say that Prince William would

call you tonight and beg you for mercy? I think it's a good opportunity for you to consider whether to

give him another chance.”
