Mysterious Male Escort Is a Mogul

Chapter 2310

As Avery was still screaming hysterically, one of the subordinates followed the president's order by knocking her unconscious.

Throughout it all, the first lady kept mum, staring at the president with mixed feelings.

The president was caught off guard. Feeling extremely embarrassed, he dared not look at his wife and daughter in their eyes.

However, being at a disadvantage, he dared not blame Danrique for that.

“Mr. President, since you've made your promise to release Mr. Lincoln, I'll keep my word and send Mrs. President and Avery home too.”

Danrique's tone was flat as if he was chatting casually with his friend. Upon saying that, he put down his cup and left the place. “Send the guests out.”

“Yes, Sir.” Sean walked in the president's direction and said, “Mr. President, let me see you and your family to the door.”

The whole situation was a checkmate. Realizing that, the president could feel his face flush with rage, yet there was nothing he could do. He could only leave the place with his family dejectedly.

Sean sent them to the car and watched them leave before returning to look for Danrique in the study room on the second floor. “Mr. Lindberg, they just left.”

Danrique merely hummed and said, “I need you to go over there yourself and get him back safely.”

“Are you worried that the president might play tricks? If so, why didn't we release Mrs. President and Avery after ensuring Mr. Lincoln is back safely?” Sean questioned in bafflement.

Danrique responded aloofly, “I've asserted my dominance by using the carrot and stick approach, so I tried to cut him some slack. The president won't do anything to Mr. Lincoln, but I'm afraid Mr. Lincoln would do something foolish...”

“Okay, I understand. I'll do it right away.”

With that, Sean hurriedly left with a few others.

Danrique was satisfied with the outcome of the negotiation that day.

After all, it was a win-win situation for both parties. Both of them had reached an agreement to reconcile by exchanging hostages. Not only that, they managed to solve the issues with public opinion, returning their relationship to its initial friendly state. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Since we've reconciled, there won't be a problem anymore.

However, Danrique was perturbed about something else.

Mr. Lincoln wants to avenge Ms. Layla. He won't give up knowing that his enemy is still out there. I fear that he might be impulsive when he leaves later! It will be troublesome if that happens. Although the president exercises forbearance toward me, it doesn't mean that he's fine with being the target of assassination. Bullets have no eyes. It will be uncontrollable if Mr. Lincoln plays with fire. But I suppose the president would be smart enough to anticipate that. I think he won't let Mr. Lincoln see him again. Even so, we have to be cautious to avoid it.

At that thought, he decided to play safe by asking Sean to bring a group of people there to pick up Lincoln.

Danrique took a glance at Francesca's contact on his phone screen. He did not press the call button, nevertheless. Inwardly, he thought of notifying her only after they took Lincoln home to ease her mind.

“Release him.”

The president gave his order on the way home.

“Understood,” his subordinate replied. “Should I send him back to the Lindberg residence?”

“I think Danrique must have asked someone to pick him up.” The president narrowed his eyes. “However, we shouldn't skip the formalities. Send him to the entrance of the presidential palace, and I'll apologize to him there. Otherwise, he won't let go of his resentment toward me.”

“What?” The moment his words fell, shock deluged the subordinate. “He attempted to assassinate you. If he sees you there, I'm afraid he will...”

As he glanced at the president, the subordinate noticed his gaze. With that, he stopped talking and followed his order immediately.

Later, Francesca was informed that the president would be releasing Lincoln, and she was asked to head over there to get Lincoln. Overwhelmed with joy, she rushed to the presidential palace together with Justin and his subordinates.

At the same time, Sean and his people were on their way to the presidential palace as well.

Modern medicine did not seem to work well on Danrique. His wound failed to recover and got worse instead. The doctor changed the dressing of his wound, prescribed some anti-inflammatory pills, and advised him to rest earlier.

However, Danrique could not fall asleep. He was waiting for Sean to bring Lincoln back so that he could give Francesca a call.
