Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby (Charlotte and Zachary)

Chapter 2064

Francesca’s place was quite some distance away from the airport, so she had to speed down the road

the entire journey. Only then would she be able to make it to the airport in under thirty minutes.

I have to hurry, or that lunatic, Chrono, might do something crazy.

Francesca thought about the explosion at the orphanage and felt her heart aching.

She was moving out of the way of a truck when Anthony called her. Hence, she didn't pick up. It wasn't

until she was on the highway and things were much calmer that she finally returned his call.

“Hey.”

“Where are you?”

It was noisy on Anthony's side, and she could hear children crying.

“I'm at the airport. How are things at the orphanage? Are there any casualties? Is anybody hurt?”

Francesca's heart clenched as she spoke, “The explosion happened in the parking lot near the

orphanage. It didn't take place in the orphanage itself, and a few kids fell out of their bunk beds

because they were scared. Other than that, no one was injured.”

“The parking lot?” asked Francesca. She was temporarily stunned. “Then the kids are all okay?”

Francesca sighed a breath of relief. Thank the heavens that Chrono isn't a total monster and didn't

actually go after the kids.Still, I bet that little conscience he has will fade away if I didn't show up at the

airport on time.

“Where are you now? Come here quick,” said Anthony in a worried tone. “Chrono must be trying to

force your hand by threatening the kids’ safety...”

The line was cut off before he could finish talking.

Francesca didn't pay much attention to that. She assumed that it was because he was too busy and

accidentally hit the button that ended the call. It was also possible that the signal was poor, so she

wasn't overly worried.

She simply grabbed her bag and her phone, then hurried into the airport.

The departure hall was filled with tourists at the time, but Chrono was nowhere to be found.

Francesca was confused and was just starting to wonder what was going on when she suddenly

sensed a hostile aura closing in on her. She turned around immediately.

A woman in an all-black outfit, a cap, and a face mask was standing right behind her. The former had a

pair of eyes that glowed with menace.

Francesca narrowed her eyes a little to scan the person in front of her. She looked into her opponent's

eyes. “It's you?”

She is Chronos ally, the assassin who faked being a doctor when we met at the hospital.

“Nice. You have great observational skills,” said the assassin, who smiled soon after. “Here. We got

your plane ticket ready. Let's go.”

She was going to force Francesca to check in for departure right away.

“Where is Chrono? Why isn't he here?” demanded Francesca. She could somewhat sense that

something was off.

“Why does that matter? I, alone, am enough to accomplish this mission,” replied the assassin before

she shoved Francesca a little. “Go check in right now.”

“No, that's not right,” murmured Francesca while scanning the assassin suspiciously. “The two of you...

You're not trying to lure me out of the way, are you?”

The glow in the assassin's eyes shifted a little, and Francesca got what that meant right away. “So your

target has always been...”

Francesca turned pale. She ran toward the parking lot immediately.

The assassin quickly chased after her. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The two of them made it all the way to the parking lot before the assassin fired a bullet that dug deep

into the ground beside Francesca's foot. “Hold it right there.”

Francesca was about to retaliate when a group of men suddenly emerged from the shadows and

fought the assassin.

It took Francesca some time to recognize those men. Turned out that her saviors were Sloan and his

men. Ah, so they never left.

She didn't have much time to wonder what was going on though, so she got into her car and sped

away a moment

later.

“Ms. Felch!”

Sloan called out to Francesca, but she never even turned back. She kept her foot on the gas.

“Gordon and the others aren't here yet. Do we have enough men with us?”

“I don't know. Let's cross that bridge when we get there.”

“Understood.”

While driving to the orphanage, Francesca called Anthony's number, but she simply couldn't get the

line through.

She called the orphanage’s employees after that, but their phones were unreachable as well. Coոtent

A bad feeling crept up on her. Chrono isn't going to do something even crueler, is he?

“Francesca, is something wrong?”

“Something bad might be unfolding at the orphanage, William. I'm on my way now, but can you...?”

“I'll send my men over right away.”
