Not A Small-Town Girl

“Who are you? What business do you have here? Can’t you

see we’re disciplining this unruly brat? Get out of the way!"

Paula erupted.

She was infuriated that someone was interfering when she

was determined to confront Danielle.

Linda immediately recognized the newcomers. Knowing the

daughter of the Darling family was studying at the same

university, she figured they had come to visit their daughter.

Linda plastered on a fake smile and

said, "Mr. Darling, you’re here to see

your daughter, aren’t you? | heard

she is in her’second year. These g>»

days, théschool seems to admitjust

anyore, Luckily, your son has

already graduated. Otherwise \ you’d

to be on guard. That. vixen over

there has a terrible reputation,

always seducing men on campus.

“| really don’t know what kind of parents can raise someone so

shameless. She and my daughter are classmates. My

daughter offered her some advice, and she turned into a

shrew, hitting my daughter right in the cafeteria!"

The more Linda talked, the more excited she became,

completely missed the stormy expressions on the faces of the

Darling family members.

Vivian walked.up to Linda ina

trembling ragé and delivered a

resounding‘slap, saying, "Who gave,

you the right to speak about my &

daughter like that? How dare you’

insult\her? In our family, we don’t

even raise our voices at heryet you

think you can treat her this-way?"

----

“Smack!" Another slap followed as Vivian’s anger erupted

further.

Paula froze when she noticed Linda addressing Howard

respectfully as "Mr. Darling." She realized these were people

from the Darling family, a prominent household she could

never afford to offend.
