Not A Small-Town Girl

After confirming Danielle meant it, Kevin pushed the door open and ran out in a panic.

Patrick, who was standing at the side, did not expect Danielle to let Kevin off so easily after asking a few questions. He thought Danielle was too young and was not like what he heard from David.

[Kevin’s out of the casino. Follow him and see who he comes into contact with.] Danielle sent a message.

"Mrs. Charrington, should we send someone to keep an eye on Kevin?" Patrick asked.

"No need," Danielle said.

"But..." Patrick wanted to say something.

"Patrick, you’re talking too much," David said as a vicious look flashed across David’s eyes.

"I’m sorry, Mrs. Charrington," Patrick apologized indignantly, but he was absolutely obedient to his boss. "I’ve already sent someone to follow Kevin," Danielle said calmly.

She knew what Patrick meant.

Then, she turned to look at Owen, who was watching the show.

"Can you show me this string of rosary beads?"

Danielle asked.

Owen was stunned for a moment, not expecting Danielle let him stay and watch the show just to see his rosary beads.

Facing Owen’s long silence, Liam decided to explain to ease the awkward atmosphere.

He said, "Miss, my boss got the rosary beads from the church. They’re very magical and not to be touched by others casually. It’s said that wearing them will prevent illnesses and calm one’s mind."

Danielle snorted coldly. Although she hadn’t taken a closer look at the rosary beads, she was amused by Liam’s words. "Well, I don’t think the rosary beads are good for you," Danielle said.

Owen and Liam’s faces darkened. Only David believed Danielle was right.

Liam said, "Miss, you’re quite beautiful, but your words are unpleasant to ear."

"What do you mean?" A trace of confusion flashed across Owen’s eyes as he asked.

"Literally," said Danielle.

"Are you saying there’s something wrong with my rosary beads?" Owen asked.

He had been wearing the rosary beads for years. If there was a problem, he should have known long ago. However, he was puzzled as Danielle didn’t look like she was lying.

"Danielle, let’s go home. Forget about him. Wouldn’t it be better if something happened to him?" David said. He held Danielle’s hand and was about to walk out.

Owen was speechless. He was just momentarily confused.

Danielle didn’t want to say more since Owen didn’t believe her. In any case, she had reminded him.
