Not A Small-Town Girl

Several cars drove out of Nathor Palace.

Joseph and Polly who could not enter Nathor Palace, watched as the cars drove past them.

Joseph was so angry that he almost fainted. He bellowed, "This useless son! He wouldn’t let us in even though he is at home. Yet he locks people in Nathor Palace. What is he trying to do?"

"Honey, let’s go back first. It seems that no matter what we say today, we can’t get in. He doesn’t even care about you, though you are his father. I’m really sad that David has become like this. It’s all my fault." Polly burst into tears and threw herself into Joseph’s arms.

The bodyguards at the gate of Nathor Palace were all watching. Joseph felt very embarrassed and got into the car angrily with Polly.

David paid less and less attention to Joseph. Today David did not let him into his house, let alone come out to greet him in person. This made Joseph very humiliated.

Joseph thought, ’Since David is so heartless, he shouldn’t blame me for being ruthless.’

*****

The Locke family in Soufield.

When Cheryl brought Janice who had lost all four limbs and was covered with blood back, even Mr. Locke, who had seen a lot in his lifetime, was shocked. He felt that David was extremely ruthless.

Because of a woman, David didn’t show any respect to the Locke family. Knowing that the Marker and the Locke families were on good terms, he still treated Janice so cruelly. However, the reason why David was so powerful before was because he had no weaknesses. Now that he has a weakness, it would be good to sacrifice one or two people to test it out.

Tim had been trying his best to arrange a marriage between Cheryl and David but David wasn’t interested. Since a marriage alliance wasn’t possible, David should be eliminated. The Charrington family had been in power for a long time. It was time for them to step down.

"What happened to my wife? How did she get hurt like this? David Charrington! I’m going to kill you." When Ian saw his wife’s injuries, he couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Tim’s eyes flickered slyly as he took a sip of coffee. Then he said slowly, "David has gone a little too far this time, hurting someone like this over a small matter. Find the best doctor to treat Janice quickly.

"Ian, don’t say anything rash. You will be subdued by his secret guards before you even get to him. You have to keep a low profile and find the best opportunity to take revenge."

Ian was so angry that the veins on his forehead were bulging. He thought about what Tim said and felt that it made sense. He had gotten to where he was today by being cautious, but he had to avenge his wife. David had gone too far this time. Now, Ian was still too weak to compete with David. He had to lie low and wait for the opportunity.

"Thank you for reminding me, Tim. I was too impulsive just now and spoke without thinking. I’ll go and accompany Janice now. Please excuse me," Ian said.

"Please go quickly."

Cheryl was standing by the side, not daring to speak at all. She knew she shouldn’t have come. Not to mention that she didn’t get close to David, and now Janice was seriously injured. The reason why she was favored among the children in the Locke family was that Tim had hoped that her relationship with David could go further.

Now she was very afraid that her grandfather would ask her questions. It was all Danielle’s fault. Danielle had nothing to do every day but to pester David. Any good opportunity for Cheryl to get close to David was ruined.

She originally wanted to take advantage of the project cooperation between the Locke and Charrington families to have more opportunities to get close to David, but he wasn’t interested at all. Cheryl felt very aggrieved and angry about how she was treated at Nathor Palace.
