I Have No Choice
Dumbfounded, Gordon yelled out, “How’s that possible?”
Sean warned him, “Shh! Lower your voice.”
Perplexed, Gordon asked in bafflement, “To me, that’s impossible! How could Dr. Felch and Ms. Cece
turn out to be the same person?”
“Initially, I never thought of linking them together. Ms. Cece looked alluring whenever we bumped into her
a few times previously. However, she did not look like her usual self when she was shot this round. Don’t
you feel that she has a resemblance to Dr. Felch with her short hair and unisex outfit? They are about
the same height, and their voice sounds similar. Ah! Did you notice the similarity when they talk? Both
are very blunt…”
“Enough of that!” Gordon cut him off and refuted impatiently, “Her height is common among Chanean
women generally. As for her hairstyle, she’s obviously wearing a wig in the nightclub previously. Who
knows, she might be having short hair all this while? After all, she could have cut her long hair short
anytime before this. Thus, I don’t sense anything amiss from that. Anyway, I haven’t really observed how
she talks and her voice. I’ll take note to have an observation later. Anyway, I’ve to get going now. If
anything happens to her, I’ll be in deep water!”
“Okay, you go ahead!” Sean was more laid-back than Gordon. He even felt that there would not be an
issue if Cece turned out to be Francesca. To him, Francesco’s reputation and social status were
intimidating enough. I don’t think anyone dares to take the risk of laying a finger on her. Anyway, as long
as Mr. Lindberg is happy, other things are unimportant! I don’t think she’s able to play any tricks when
we’re keeping an eye on her too!
On the other hand, Francesca looked out of the car window along the way, observing the surroundings.
“My goodness! I’d never expected that this place could be so spacious! It takes at least half an hour for
the car to be out of the castle!”
There was an abrupt change in Eva’s countenance. Wearing a look of utter disdain, she scoffed, “The
Lindberg family is deemed the most prominent family in Erihal. Cece, how about you? Which family are
you from? Is your family involved in the business or political sector?”
“I’m from an ordinary, humble family. To be honest, I never intend to cross paths with anyone from the
Lindberg family. But what can I do since Danrique insists on marrying me?” Francesca lamented
resignedly.
“You…” Eva turned crimson with fury and could not utter any words to retort.
“How about you help to talk him into letting me go? I really hope he’ll stop being stubborn and have a
new target.” Francesca looked at her solemnly.
Unable to tamp down her simmering fury, Eva fumed, “You’re a typical hypocrite! If you didn’t seduce
him, do you think he’ll marry you? He has been single throughout these years and is never closely
acquainted with any woman. But now he’s thinking of marrying you out of the blue! How’s that possible?”
Francesca wailed exaggeratively, “Well, I’m not willing to marry him. How about you find a way to help
me?”
Huh? Eva was utterly speechless. Initially, she thought Francesca was putting on a show. But she looks
as if she means it! No way! I mustn’t believe her words. How’s it possible that there’s any woman not
willing to marry Danrique! I bet there isn’t any woman who could resist the charm of such a perfect man!
Hmph! I’m sure she’s trying to sound me out! I mustn’t fall into her trap!
All of a sudden, Eva felt a shiver down her spine. She had been putting on a show in the face of
Francesca all the while, thinking of fooling her. Unexpectedly, she got all fired up by the latter’s words
and unknowingly revealed her true thoughts! Good gracious! She’s seemingly no ordinary woman and
not someone easy to deal with. I mustn’t let my guard down!
At the thought of it, Eva took a deep breath to regain her composure. Seconds later, she forced a smile
and joked, “Cece, you must be pulling my legs. It’s every woman’s dream to marry Danrique. How’s it
possible that you’re not yearning to do so? Since I’m the one bringing you out, I’m responsible for
sending you back safely. If not, I’ll surely face his wrath!”
Francesca rolled her eyes and snorted in Chanaean, “Pfft! What a cowardly woman!”
“Huh? What did you say?” Eva was puzzled.
Francesca smiled ambiguously. “Nothing. Where are you planning to bring me to?”
