Not A Small-Town Girl

lightning speed.

Xavier thought, ’I knew it. I was really smart to predict Danielle’s speed.

Jaden, Cameron, Andrew, and Joshua had come to the Nathor Palace in the morning.

"David, when will the miracle healer arrive? It hurt all night last night." As the heir of the Barnes family, Joshua was born to be rich and had never been tortured like this. "If I catch the person who poisoned me, I’ll skin her alive."

"You’re too slow. I caught her yesterday and sent her straight to hell. I didn’t expect her to be a maid," Cameron said roguishly.

"Our family was poisoned by a maid who had worked for us for many years. Who would have thought that such a maid could harm us?" Andrew said, his good-looking devoid of any warmth.

Seeing that both of them had caught the poisoner, Joshua looked up at Jaden, hoping to find someone on the same boat. "Jaden, you probably haven’t found the poisoner, right?"

The next second, Joshua regretted asking. "She’s been punished," Jaden said indifferently as if he was talking about today’s weather.

"Do you need help?" David was rubbing salt into Joshua’s wound.

Joshua said, "I’m going to find her out when I get back today. I’m going to throw this poisoner into the sea to feed the sharks."

The few of them were talking in the living room when a roar of a speeding car sounded. Without looking, one could tell how fast the car was.

David stood up and quickly walked out of the living room.

"Don’t tell me the miracle healer is here. If I didn’t know better, I would think he’s a racer. How dare he be so impudent in the Nathor Palace?" Joshua really disliked the miracle healer, but he couldn’t because his poison hadn’t been cured yet.

When he turned around, they were all gone. ’How disloyal my friends are...

David walked to the driver’s seat and was about to open the door for Danielle when he heard a cry.

Xavier’s legs were still a little weak. Danielle drove too fast. As soon as the car stopped, he ran out of the car, afraid that Danielle would call him to take the car.

However, just as the car stopped, he looked up and saw a snow-white wolf opening its bloody mouth at him, as if it was about to kill him at any moment.

Xavier was so frightened that he did not care that his legs were weak. He shouted at the top of his lungs and ran as he shouted, "Help, there’s a wolf. It’s going to eat me..."

When the tundra wolf saw Xavier running, it chased after him. Hence, Xavier ran and howled at the top of his lungs, while the wolf chased after him.
