Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort

Chapter 2040 Protect Myself

“Mr. Lincoln has shortlisted a few foundations and plans to embark on a field trip to inspect them, so he’ll be away during this period. Meanwhile, I have to keep an eye on the orphanage to prevent Chrono and his men from laying their fingers on the children. That means you have to take care of Francesca.”

“Sure. No problem!” Anthony agreed without hesitation as he had always wished he could stay by Francesca’s side and protect her all day.

“Hold on. Let me finish.” Layla gave him another side-eye before continuing, “Listen carefully. I have two missions for you, and you must accomplish them.”

Anthony pricked up his ears. “Go on.”

“First, you need to find out Prince William’s character. You’ll also need to investigate the people around him to see if they have ulterior motives. Secondly, should Danrique’s men come to look for Francesca, you must inform me before making any decision. I want to meet them personally.” It was not difficult to tell that Layla was serious about these two missions.
