Chapter 41 Won’t You Help Us?
To ensure the children could unwind completely, Francesca decided to take them on a five–day seaside vacation. They enjoyed their time at the beach, creating beautiful memories before returning home.
It wasn’t until the plane landed that Francesca finally switched on her phone. Before leaving, she had informed Yoel, Marcus, and Braxton that they could reach her on her satellite phone in case of any emergencies, so she wasn’t in a hurry to check her phone.
As soon as she powered on her phone, Francesca was caught off guard by the flood of text messages and missed call notifications that popped up on her screen.
Disregarding the flood of messages from unfamiliar contacts, Francesca’s attention was drawn to the consistent stream of notifications from Colton and a handful of individuals from the Beckman family.
Without even needing to pick up the phone, Francesca could already surmise the reason behind Colton’s persistent calls. It was evident that her sudden and unexplained absence, resulting in missed appointments and meetings, had raised concerns and prompted him to reach out urgently.
However, this project wasn’t initiated by her in the first place, and it could progress smoothly even without her involvement. Hence, Francesca casually skimmed past his name, her focus placed on the Beckmans instead.
Ever since Francesca confronted Chandler during her visit to the Beckman family and compelled him to sign the IOU, the family had been eager to sever all ties with her and avoid any further contact. Hence, she was baffled by how they would possibly contact her out of the blue now.

Karen.
Francesca hesitated for a moment before answering the call. Karen’s sharp voice cut through the line, her words piercing Francesca’s ears with ant unmistakable intensity.
“Francesca!”
Before she could continue speaking, Francesca abruptly hung up the phone.
On the other end of the line, Karen was taken aback. Did this girl just hang up on me?
Before she could even gather her thoughts, Chandler anxiously asked her, “How is it?”
“That audacious girl! I can’t believe she had the nerve to hang up on me!” Karen was taken aback by Francesca’s unexpected act of defiance. Despite Francesca’s assertiveness during their previous encounter, Karen had never anticipated that she would go as far as abruptly ending their phone conversation.
Chandler impatiently interrupted her complaint. “Are you utterly clueless? She’s the one holding the upper hand now as the creditor. Can’t you think even a little bit?”
Just as he was about to take out his phone to call her himself, Karen stopped him with a wave of her hand. “No need! I know where she is!”
She had heard the sound of the airport announcement in the background, so it dawned on Karen that Francesca had to be at the airport.
“Well, let’s get going!” Without any further delay, Chandler hurriedly pulled Karen into the car and headed for the airport.

Francesca never expect that a prene
reveal her location.
She looked down at the two children and said, “We’ll have to wait a bit longer for our luggage. Would you like some ice cream in the meantime?”
Lukas and Luna excitedly exchanged glances and nodded fervently.
Francesca took them to the nearest dessert shop to buy ice cream. As soon as they stepped out, they saw a figure screaming and rushing toward them.
“Francesca!”
Inside the serene airport, Karen’s loud and agitated voice drew the attention of many curious onlookers.
Francesca’s face darkened. She quickly ushered the two children back into the store and gently reassured them, “Wait here for a bit, okay? I’ll be back
soon.”
“But…” Luna, frightened by the screaming woman, was so anxious that her eyes reddened.
However, Francesca wasn’t afraid of Karen at all. She calmly said, “It’s fine. They’re just loud, that’s all. Don’t worry about it.”
Lukas tightly held Francesca’s hand. Looking up with concern, he asked, “Is that so? Will you definitely be safe?”
Upon seeing the child looking so scared, Francesca called the waiter over to accompany them before finally pushing the door open and stepping
out.
Karen, who had been on the verge of barging into the store, immediately started cursing at Francesca, “Francesca! I can’t believe you have the audacity to do this!”

“How did you know I was here?” Francesca asked coldly, staring at Karen and Chandler.
Seeing Francesca’s blatant disregard for her, Karen grew even more infuriated. However, Chandler, being a shrewd person, recognized that Francesca was already angered. He swiftly intervened, grasping Karen’s arm and saying to Francesca, “We were just worried about you. Those two children earlier…”
“A friend’s children,” Francesca said simply, not wanting Chandler and Karen to know about Lukas and Luna’s existence.
Before they even had a chance to react to that, Francesca blurted out, “So why are you here?”
Chandler suddenly remembered his real purpose for being there and could no longer afford to focus on the two children. He hurriedly asked, “Did you say something to Mr. Zeller? Why did he suddenly stop the collaboration with the Beckman family?”
This collaboration had been established based on their prior agreement to collaborate with Elsa. However, they were taken by surprise when Zeller Group abruptly terminated their partnership sooner than anticipated.
Francesca raised her brows and said, “I am no longer associated with the Zeller Group. If you have any concerns or matters to discuss, it would be more appropriate to approach Colton directly…”
If it were so easy to meet Colton, Chandler and Karen wouldn’t have gone to great lengths to find Francesca.
“If you want me to pay back the money, you can’t let someone ruin my livelihood,” Chandler said confidently, looking at Francesca. “Don’t forget this: No matter what, you are still our daughter. If you push things too far, don’t blame us for being ruthless.”

Francesca didn’t show any fear, but instead, she laughed and said, “Really? You can give it a try.”
Chandler never expected that Francesca would be so stubborn and unyielding. Despite his earnest pleas, she still refused to help..
Karen, who was standing to the side, couldn’t bear it any longer. She raised. her hand, ready to slap someone, when Francesca glanced at her. indifferently. “Didn’t you learn your lesson last time? Causing a scene in at public place will only result in you losing face, not me.”
Recalling the scene at home earlier, Karen shrank back. However, she still continued to curse under her breath, “You ungrateful wretch! If I had known, I wouldn’t have taken care of you. It would’ve been better to let you fend for yourself.”
Francesca was unfazed.
However, Karen noticed the curious glances from passersby and came up with an idea.
“If you dare to cause a scene here, I assure you that tomorrow the Beckman family’s name will be the talk of the town on Twitter,” Francesca muttered, having read Karen’s mind.
Karen, who had been ready to let out a thunderous yell, found her words trapped in her throat.
Her face turned beet red, but she didn’t dare to say another word.
Chandler felt utterly bewildered, unable to comprehend Francesca’s true intentions. His expression turned even more sour, reflecting his inner frustration and confusion.
To everyone’s surprise, Francesca chose this moment to speak up. “Who promised you the collaboration? Shouldn’t you be looking for that person

Chandler’s astonishment was evident on his face as he locked eyes with Francesca, who seemed to possess an uncanny knowledge of the situation. He was momentarily speechless, unable to come up with a suitable.
response.
She actually knows everything?
Francesca looked at Chandler calmly. She had noticed it long ago when Colton gave her those documents. Ever since their divorce, the Zeller family rarely had any business dealings with the Beckman family.
As Francesca considered the sudden appearance of Chandler and Karen, she couldn’t help but suspect that there was someone behind the scenes pulling the strings, orchestrating the entire incident.
Recalling the previous incident of the Beckmans causing a stir on the internet, it became obvious to Francesca who the mastermind was.
