Chapter 2124 A Huge Bet
Soon, Francesca and Monica reached the airport. They checked in at the counter hastily and got on the
plane successfully.
When the plane took off gradually, Francesca gazed at the night view of the busy city out of the
window. At that very moment, she felt a rush of inexplicit emotion surging from within her.
Will Danrique be startled to see me later? Will he be happy to see me? Is he going to have an
engagement with Hazel? Could it be he intends to make me jealous? Or perhaps itâs his way to
suppress William? Didnât William mention that I might hear rumors or encounter some hardships in
Xendale? What could it be?
Surprisingly, she began to have anticipation.
Meanwhile, Robin, who had just woken up in the castle, was riled up after knowing what William had
done. âYour Highness, how could you do so? Donât you know youâll only put yourself in deep waters by
doing so? What if Ms. Felch doesnât come back again? I reckon Mr. Lindberg will keep her by his side
and never let her come to Danontand again. If that happens, whoâll be the one to help expel the poison
from everyoneâs body? How about your treatment?â
Regardless, William had cooled his head off. âIâd thought about that before. Thatâs why Iâm having a bet
on how much Francesca cherishes our friendship and minds her responsibility as a doctor. Most
importantly, Iâm also betting on Danriqueâs devotion toward her.â
He was fully aware that Danrique was not the type of man who would be bothered by trivial matters.
Notwithstanding, he presumed if the latter really loved Francesca, he would most probably grant her
wish if she insisted on going back. In other words, he might even come along with her to fulfill her wish.
Needless to say, it wouldnât do him any harm by doing so.
However, there was still a possibility that things might go the other way around. Since Danrique was
not a man of good temper, he might disregard Francescaâs feelings and pay no heed to the matter.
Inevitably, the risk of the bet is a bit high.
Robin was a bundle of nerves. âIt could be riskier than betting on His Majestyâs conscientiousness. At
least, His Majesty is still your grandpa. Regardless of anything, he is still mindful of your safety and the
royal familyâs reputation. Even if he doesnât feel like investigating further, he wonât let you suffer without
batting an eyelid. Nonetheless, if he finds out you went against his will by letting go of Ms. Felch, heâll
surely blow a fuse. By then, he mightââ
Robinâs voice trailed off as he dared not finish his words.
William snickered. âYouâve overestimated his conscientiousness. If he were a conscientious man, he
wouldnât disregard me throughout these twenty years. Apart from that, he wouldnât turn a blind eye to
my parentsâ death and my leg injury. He wouldnât exploit the doping issue to threaten me into helping
him to achieve his target either. In his eyes, Iâm just a worthless, abandoned grandson. My existence
means nothing to him.â
âYour Highnessâ¦â Hearing that, Robin was bereft of speech.
He was clueless about what William had been through in the castle earlier that day. Nevertheless, he
could imagine that the latter must have been through mind-blowing and humiliating moments till he had
given up all hope on his grandfather.
Subsequently, he would rather pin his hope on the other two people who were not blood-related to him
instead of anticipating that Federico would help him.
âI trust Francesca. She wonât let us suffer without doing anything and leave us behind. Iâm convinced
that sheâll be back.â
âHow about Mr. Lindberg?â Robin queried softly.
William was rendered speechless. No doubt, he was sure as h*ll that Francesca would be responsible
for him and everyone else in the castle, but he barely had any confidence in Danrique.
He was not convinced that Danrique would be willing to help him. At the same time, he wondered if the
latter would do something extreme. Thus, he was not at ease.
Robin let out a deep sigh. âItâs no point to overthink now. Letâs just bet on it.â
âYes.â William smiled bitterly. âUnequivocally, fate is just like a bet at times. If I canât twist the situation
this round, I would rather meet my end. After all, itâs meaningless to live on if thatâs the case. If I have
the chance to stand up again, Iâll surely walk into the castle again and tell everyone that Iâm back!â
