Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort

Wait. Francesca can’t be trying to pull something, can she? She slipped into my car’s trunk last night when nobody was watching and infiltrated Danrique’s place.

All she had was her backpack. Nothing else. In other words, her money is still at Southridge. She loves money more than her life. She would never give that kind of wealth up.

She can’t be using my treatment as a pretext so she can come to Southridge and run with her money, right? Wait, she can actually do that. She must be trying to pull that off. And she actually made that call right in front of Danrique to mask her motive?

Zachary was both amused and annoyed at the same time. Man, Francesca’s going to drag me into a deeper hole at this rate. If she manages to escape tonight, Danrique’s going to kill me.

Zachary told Bruce, “Take your men to Southridge and surround the place. Do not let Francesca escape.”

“Huh?” Bruce paused for a moment, then he nodded. “Yes, sir.”

“Remember, make sure you hide well and do not alert her. If she tries to escape, get in her way. Try to drag it out until Danrique’s there.”

“Yes, sir!” Bruce switched cars and took his men up Southridge. He even called for some reinforcements in case he didn’t have enough men.
