After closing the door, Layla drugged Kerrie at once.

The focus in Kerrie's eyes faded away as she began removing her clothes.

Without hesitation, Francesca changed into Kerrie's outfit and allowed Layla to dress her up as Kerrie.

Then, Layla helped Kerrie put on Francesca’s gown and left her sleeping on the sofa before the two of

them exited the room.

“Would people notice?” Francesca was

worried.

Layla urged, “We don't have time to think about that now. The ambulance is already here. Hurry up. By

the time they found out about Kerrie, we'd already left the presidential palace with the ambulance.”

“Okay then.”

Francesca said nothing else and followed Layla out of the room.

At that time, Heidi and Samantha were still guarding the door. They didn't suspect anything when Layla

and “Kerrie” came walking out.

Samantha even turned to make sure “Francesca” was still lying on the couch lazily like she always did.

However, due to the angle, all she could see were her legs and the hem of her gown.

Francesca trailed behind Layla in a calm demeanor. After all, that was not the first time she had done

something like that. Besides, Layla's disguising skills were perfect. Though they didn't have much time

to touch up on the details, it was still enough to deceive the eyes of the average person.

The duo reached the corner of the long corridor and was about to head out from another corridor when

suddenly, Hazel and the others came walking toward them.

Panicking, Francesca instinctively lowered her head.

Layla, on the other hand, remained calm as she led Francesca past them.

All of a sudden, Hazel called out to them, “Wait.”

The two of them could only stop in their tracks. Maintaining her composure, Layla lifted her head and

smiled at Hazel. “Can I help you, Ms. Atkinson?”

“Who is she?” Hazel stared at Francesca, who was disguised as Kerrie.

“She's Kerrie, the nurse of the Lindberg family. She was just transferred back here from M Nation,”

introduced Layla, sounding as normal as possible.

“A nurse? Can she speak Erihalean?” Hazel fixed her eyes on Francesca.

“No. Ms. Cece can't speak Erihalean, too. That's why we transferred Kerrie back to look after her,”

Layla explained.

“I see.” Hazel gave Francesca one last stare before looking away and saying politely, “Don't mind me,

I'm just curious. Please, carry on.”

“Well then, please excuse us.” Layla bowed courteously and left with Francesca.

Though Francesca didn't say a word throughout the whole exchange, she looked quite composed.

However, she still sensed that Hazel seemed to have noticed something.

“Don't worry. She's dying to see you leave. Even if she notices something, she won’t say anything,”

whispered Layla.

Francesca pondered about it and agreed with Layla. Indeed, her departure was great news to Hazel,

so the latter would never expose her.

Meanwhile, Hazel approached the lounge and saw Heidi knocking on the door from a distance away.

“Ms. Cece? Is everything all right in there? Ms. Cece?”

Hazel grinned. “She's probably asleep. She's always sleepy, isn't she? I was thinking of checking on

her too, but now it seems we should just let her rest. Don't disturb her.”

The two bodyguards had no choice but to wait outside since Hazel had said so.

In the meantime, Francesca and Layla finally reached the back hall and were about to leave when

Francesca caught a glimpse of Danrique through a window by accident.
