Chapter 871 Seduction
Francis added, "You don't need to worry. He hasn't really done anything to me. Once his anger subsides, he won't keep bothering me."
Seeing his serious expression, Antonio thought about how Guadalupe had once saved Francis's life. Maybe Francis had his own concerns, so Antonio didn't press further.
"If he tries to use this to threaten you, you must tell me. We're family, and we can always provide money if needed, okay, Francis?"
"Yeah, thanks, Antonio."
That was all they could do.
Francis confessed everything that happened abroad, but aside from giving him some money, Antonio couldn't help much.
At that moment, a new idea suddenly occurred to Antonio.
Since Guadalupe resented Francis because of a woman, what if Francis had a new girlfriend? Wouldn't Guadalupe stop caring?
Besides, Francis needed to start a new life.
Back in the room, Antonio pulled Sarah to sit on the couch. "Sarah, I'm thinking of introducing a girlfriend to Francis. What do you think?"
Sarah was taken aback. "A girlfriend?"
Why did he suddenly think of this? The main issue was that the relationship between Francis and Guadalupe hadn't been resolved. Was it really appropriate to introduce a girlfriend to Francis now?
Sarah didn't know that Francis hadn't been entirely truthful in his previous confession. She naturally assumed Antonio knew everything.
"I don't have any objections, but would Guadalupe agree?"
"Him?" Antonio sneered. "Who does he think he is?"
Sarah thought for a moment and said, "Although Francis is the victim here, Guadalupe's status is still there. We can help Francis in other ways; we don't necessarily have to introduce a girlfriend."
"But introducing a girlfriend is the best way to make Guadalupe give up." Antonio mused, "There's no point in them continuing like this. It's better to resolve it quickly. At worst, we can compensate Guadalupe for saving his life back then."
It was just because of a mistress. If Francis had his own girlfriend, what would Guadalupe have to worry about?
But Sarah thought that although Guadalupe had forced the relationship, shouldn't they first break it off?
The more she thought about it, the more unreliable it seemed. "Let's not. Guadalupe seems to have a bad temper. What if he gets upset and does something to hurt Francis?"
"Aren't we here?" Antonio frowned, not understanding why Sarah disagreed. "Besides, this is Capital City. He can't act as freely as he did abroad. We just need to keep an eye on Francis."
'It's not a deep-seated hatred. Wouldn't this be good for Guadalupe too?' Antonio thought.
Neither of them realized they were on completely different wavelengths. Sarah maintained her stance, "I don't think it's a good idea. This will easily provoke Guadalupe."
And with the Valencia family here, if Guadalupe went crazy, who knew what he might do!
Thinking of this, Sarah firmly said, "I disagree. If you secretly introduce a girlfriend to Francis, then I'll introduce a girlfriend to you."
Antonio fell silent.
He watched Sarah walk into the bathroom, feeling inexplicably sad.
Why did Sarah react so strongly? He thought and thought, still believing it was the best solution. After all, Francis didn't like Guadalupe's mistress, right?
Sarah had no idea this would make Antonio feel down.
When she came out of the bathroom, she changed her clothes and saw Antonio still in a daze on the couch. She patted him and said, "Stop thinking about it. Imagine if this situation were ours, could you accept it?"
Antonio frowned. How could he imagine? It was completely different!
Sarah thought he had nothing to say and pulled him up. "Stop thinking about it. We promised to visit Cynthia at the hospital yesterday. Let's go before it gets too late."
Seeing she didn't want to discuss it, Antonio swallowed his words and said, "Okay, let's also pick up the nutritional supplements we ordered the other day. They should be ready."
As they went downstairs, Francis was in the living room reading documents.
"Francis, we're heading to the hospital now. If there's nothing urgent at the company, just stay home and rest."
James reported the company's daily progress to Antonio, so he was aware of the basic work status.
Francis looked up with a warm smile. "That's what I was thinking. You can stay at the hospital without worry. I'll watch the kids when they come back later."
Sarah smiled and nodded. "Thanks, Francis."
As the couple left, a piece of clothing seemed to flash into the servant's room in the corner of the first floor.
Lisa leaned against the wall, having heard everything they said. Her mind raced, thinking of all the possibilities she could use to her advantage.
Although she loved Antonio, Antonio was always with Sarah now.
It was hard for her to get close to him, and Sarah seemed to have him under a spell. Reluctantly, Lisa had to face the truth.
She couldn't get close to Antonio anymore.
But now, there was a perfect opportunity. That was Francis!
Everyone had left the house today, even Jasmine had gone shopping. The bodyguards outside wouldn't come in, so now it was just her and Francis in the villa!
He was Ryan's biological father.
And, Lisa recalled those scenes from years ago, still vivid in her memory.
To be honest, Francis wasn't much worse than Antonio. Even though Francis was in a wheelchair now, how could someone at the top become so weak?
Lisa's mind raced, and she decided in an instant.
After finishing his documents, Francis rubbed his temples, considering whether to rest in his room. Suddenly, he heard a high-pitched scream from the first-floor room.
He frowned and rushed over without thinking.
In the maid's room, there was a series of loud noises.
Before Francis could knock, the door suddenly opened from the inside. Lisa, wrapped only in a towel, looked terrified and was startled to see him.
"Mr. Valencia, what are you doing here?" Lisa's eyes were filled with tears, her face showing only fear, as if she had forgotten she wasn't dressed.
Francis didn't seem to notice either, frowning as he looked behind her. "What happened?"
