Not A Small-Town Girl

----

Danielle raised her eyebrows. She knew that being David’s

special assistant surely meant Nathan had exceptional qualities.

Since Nathan said it was dangerous, she knew he was just

trying to be kind in reminding her. "Got it," she said, getting

interested even before going there.

“| won’t let you be in any danger,” David said, gently squeezing

her hand.

Danielle nodded as she replied, "Well, I’m not afraid even if

there is danger."

“Mr. Charrington, members of the Stuart family and the Reagan

family are here to see you," Albert reported respectfully as he

came in.

"Okay," David replied.

----

“They are here for Ava and Nancy as well as their wives,"

Danielle said indifferently. "We can take this opportunity to bring

the Stuart family down." The Stuart family had already worked

with Hugh, and they would go bankrupt sooner or later. The

Reagan family had always been dependent on the Stuart family.

Soon, Albert brought the two in.

----

Although both of them were wearing

suits, their fages were weathered

and their eyes were bloodshot. Upgn

learning that their wives and w

daughters had been taken to Nathor

Palace by David, they kept feeling on

edge: No one knew whether David,

with his cruel and violent personality,

would immediately have their wives

and daughters executed.

----

They thought, ’This Nathor Palace is heavily guarded, but now

that we’re in, we must rescue our wives and daughters today,

even if it means we have to beg. We can always take revenge

on David later.’

“Mr. Charrington, it is my fault for not disciplining my wife and

daughter properly, causing them to anger you," Ronald Stuart

said, his attitude extremely respectful. "| apologize to you on

their behalf. Please be merciful and spare them."

Wesley Reagan, who was standing aside, also began to

apologize. "Mr. Charrington, it’s my wife and daughter’s fault for

failing to recognize your greatness. I’ll definitely punish them

severely when | return. Please give them a chance to clean up

their act."

David sat on the sofa, fiddling with Danielle’s little hand. He

remained silent for a long while.

Ronald and Wesley couldn’t figure out what David was thinking,

and they were covered in cold sweat.

"Mr. Charrington, please let them

go," Ronald said. "The Stuart family

is willing to vathdraw from the

l6sses, so he was convineed that

David would be tempted. Now, for

the sake of his wife and daughter, he

had no choice but to give it up.
