Chapter 2307 Give In
“It’s really her?” Danrique stared at the picture shown on the news. Although Francesca’s features were blurry, he could instantly recognize her petite figure.
“It is Ms. Felch. She brought with her thirteen low-profile but powerful people. They are now staying at Eden Hotel. Countless news outlets try to interview them every day. The president is swamped,” Sean said excitedly.
The instant he finished speaking, the president called. “Mr. Lindberg, he must have called for a truce,” Sean said upon seeing the caller ID. After glancing calmly at the phone screen, Danrique turned the phone to silent mode. He did not pick up or hang up.
Confused, Sean could not help but ask, “Mr. Lindberg, what are you doing?” Only when the call automatically ended did Danrique raise his head to reply, “It’ll be hard to bring the president down, and I don’t want him to have his way so easily.”
“I see,” Sean said, instantly understanding the meaning of his words. We will definitely call for a truce, but Mr. Lindberg wants to leave the president hanging first and make him nervous. That way, the president may make further compromises.
Danrique didn’t say anything else and continued reading his documents. “Do you not plan on meeting Ms. Felch?” Sean asked gingerly.
The two had not seen each other for a long time. Previously, due to the circumstances and the long distance between them, it was understandable that they couldn’t meet. However, Francesca was now back in Xendale, and the two were in the same city. If Danrique didn’t go to see her, she would be angry.
“Later,” Danrique replied. Sean didn’t understand, but he didn’t dare ask what Danrique was waiting for. Still, the present situation was favorable for them, so a reconciliation would be the best result.
Although they wouldn’t be content with such a result, it was never too late for them to seek revenge again in the future.
Danrique ignoring his call made the president lose his cool. He immediately called his most trusty subordinates over to discuss the matter. “Do you think Danrique will make a big move soon?”
“It’s possible.” His subordinates also started panicking. “I already sensed something was up a few days ago. Under such dangerous circumstances, usually, people would go into hiding, yet he openly brought his injured men back. That was too weird.”
“Exactly. I knew he hadn’t revealed his trump card yet. Indeed, the next day, his fiancée brought thirteen big shots to Xendale. It’s obvious that she came to help him.”
“Usually, people would have asked for a reconciliation already, but since he refused to pick up your call, Mr. President, it means he has yet to make his ultimate move.”
“What ultimate move?” the president immediately asked.
“Could it be…” one of his subordinates trailed off as he didn’t dare to continue.
“What is it? Tell me!”
“Since Danrique is so calm, I’m afraid…” That subordinate wiped his sweat. “I’m afraid he has gotten the support of Riz Corporation.”
Upon hearing that, everyone gasped in shock.
The president’s face instantly turned ghastly pale. I have long heard Danrique seeking help from Riz Corporation, but previously, I received news that they rejected him. That’s why I dared to assassinate him. I can’t believe this.
“I heard rumors that the Emperor of Riz Corporation is related to the Lindberg family and is relatives with Danrique. It is quite possible…”
The others became increasingly unsettled as they talked.
“Mr. President, if Riz Corporation wholly supports Danrique, things don’t bode well for us. I suggest you give in and personally ask to reconcile with him.”
“I agree. Things are a mess now, and Erihal has become a laughingstock. If this chaos goes on, the situation will only get worse.”
“So far, Danrique has not released any evidence against you, so you can push all the blame on Mrs. President. It’s not too late to turn the situation around. But if we drag this on longer, I’m afraid…”
