Not A Small-Town Girl

subordinates that powerful? The people we sent out were all top-notch experts, but they were killed."

The man sneered and his sinister gaze landed on the butler. "The people nurtured by the Shadow are quite skilled. Don’t underestimate every opponent easily."

"Got it, sir. I was careless this time," said the butler.

"How’s the situation in Aleria?" The man’s voice was slightly hoarse. His face was cold and emotionless, and his dark eyes were dangerous.

The butler replied, "Sir, most of the families have already been severely poisoned, and they haven’t yet realized that they are poisoned. They are seeking medical examinations. It will be too late when they truly understand that they are poisoned. It seems that these prominent family in Aleria are just so-so."

"Soufield needs a fresh batch of new blood. Leave this matter to Hugh," the man spoke coldly, his tone bloodthirsty. "Yes, sir." The butler received the order and respectfully retreated.

On the other side, Danielle was really quite worried about her brothers. "Let’s go back tomorrow. I’ll regularly use traditional medicine to nurse your health according to her physical condition."

"Alright, I want to go back too. I’ve been overseas for a few years. If not for my health, I would have flown back long ago," Tara immediately replied, afraid that she would continue to stay here.

David said, "Grandma, I’ll go back with Danielle tomorrow. I’ll pick you up after a while."

Tara had just recovered from a serious illness. It was safer to stay here at this time.

"What did you say? I’ve already recovered from my illness. Brat, you want me to stay here alone. How miserable it is." Tara stood up excitedly and scolded David. Then she turned to look at Danielle. "Danielle, look at him. He’s not a good man. Be careful with your choice. Since he can treat his own grandmother like this, it’s very likely he’ll treat you the same way in the future, leaving you lonely and giving you the cold shoulder."

She even pretended to wipe her tears.

Danielle was amused by Tara’s actions. In order to return to the country, Tara did not even care about her grandson.

David thought, ’Is she really my biological grandmother? My life matters too. I’ve realized that ever since she recovered, she’s been putting me down. Now, to go back to the country, she has even started to slander me...!’
