Chapter 100: Chapter 100

Chapter 100 "I’m sorry," Emma said. "I was discourteous. I thought we were familiar with each other, so I..." She had noticed Danielle a long time ago, and her words could easily be misunderstood.

"Familiar with each other?" Danielle said as she looked up at David.

David then looked at Danielle worriedly, afraid that she would misunderstand. In the end, he noticed that her face was full of smiles.

"I don’t know her, Danielle," he said, going along with what Danielle had said. Since Danielle wanted to make things difficult for Emma, he would play along.

"No, no, it’s not that," Emma said endearingly, even looking somewhat flustered. "We’re not familiar with David."

Danielle revealed a disdainful smile, thinking, ’With her explanation, she might as well shut up. She’s afraid that others won’t overthink things.

Fortunately, I know what kind of person David is.’

"Since you said you’re not familiar with him, don’t keep calling David that way," she said. "It’s really disgusting to hear. I suggest you speak properly.

Aren’t you afraid of accidentally suffocating yourself with your cutesy voice?

"Even if you aren’t afraid, you should consider how it affects the ears of the people around you."

"Ma’am, did I provoke you in any way?" Emma said. "Why are you speaking so viciously?" Her eyes welled up with tears, looking like she had suffered a huge grievance.

Anyone who saw this would think that Danielle was bullying her.

Standing aside, Celine couldn’t stand seeing her best friend being bullied and spoke up in her defense. "Emma was just saying hello to David," she said. "Why are you being so harsh on her?"

"I’m fine, Celine," Emma said, tears streaming down her face. "It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have greeted David."

"It’s okay, Emma," Celine said. "Don’t be afraid. We just said hello. We didn’t do anything wrong." At this point, Celine had been completely swayed, looking like she wanted to defend Emma. "With me around, you can forget about bullying Emma."

Looking at Celine as if she was a fool, Danielle said, "You think you can stand up for her? You’re being used by her, yet you’re still helping her out.

What can you do? It’s out of courtesy that I reproached her that way."

"How... how can you put things this way?" Celine was at a loss for words.

She was so angry that she complained to David, saying, "David, look at her. How can she be so rude?"

David glanced at Celine indifferently, yet it felt like there was an invisible pressure coming at her.

Celine was so frightened that she flinched. She was usually terrified of David. Every time she saw him, it was like a mouse seeing a cat.

’I was really pissed off by this woman just now, so I complained to this terrifying guy, she thought.

"If you want to stay here and eat, stay far away from us or get out," David said. His tone was flat, but he spoke in such a way that made it difficult for others to ignore.

"Da-David, I was wrong," Celine said. "I’ll now bring Emma to the side to eat." Celine was so frightened that she trembled when she walked. It was obvious that she was really terrified of David.

Going along with Celine’s words to save face, Emma walked away quietly with her, afraid of saying something that would anger David.

After the two of them left, it was quiet again.

"Quite a few people are secretly in love with you," Danielle said slowly. "How can I guard against so many love rivals?"

"You don’t have to guard against them," David said with sincerity and deep affection. "I’ll keep a distance from any woman who gets close to me.

Any romantic interest that comes my way is rubbish, and I’ll remove it myself. All you need to do is stay by my side.

"When you return to the country, you’ll almost be starting school. The school is filled with boys your age. Will you mind me for being older than you?"

Danielle’s face was full of surprise. She truly hadn’t expected this man to have moments of insecurity.

"Don’t worry," she said. "They’re not as charming as you."

When David heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. "Tell me then. What charm do I have that attracts you?"

Danielle lowered her head to eat, ignoring David. ’Compliment him once, and he’ll think he’s a superstar, she thought.

Meanwhile, Emma and Celine successfully tasted the dishes here. They were indeed delicious. Watching David and Danielle interact sweetly, even the tastiest food felt tasteless to Emma.

She thought, ’But isn’t David’s fiancée Audrey?

Who’s this woman then? In the past, with Audrey around, I usually didn’t have the chance to get close to David. Isn’t this opportunity presented to me now? The heavens are really helping me.

She quickly found an angle to take a few photos and posted them on an Instagram story that only Audrey could see. She thought, ’I want Audrey to tear this woman apart.

’With this drama queen Audrey around, she will probably let this woman have a hard time. She is after all the daughter of the richest family, so she has some tricks up her sleeve.

’When the time comes, the two of them will be at each other’s throats, and I’ll be the one who will win in the end. David can only be mine.

At the Darling family’s home, Audrey saw the Instagram story that Emma had shared, as expected.

She zoomed in on one of the photos and noticed that Danielle and David were looking at each other with sweet expressions in the restaurant.

This would justify the fact that the photos had been taken by deliberately choosing the angle. The angle was so well chosen that the result made them look as intimate as possible.

Audrey was so angry that she wanted to smash her phone. She thought, ’Damn bitch. Didn’t she say she would go overseas to treat Tara? But here she is out on a romantic date. She is indeed a vixen. All she knows is seducing David. The tactics she used were lowdown and petty.

’Damn it. If it weren’t for her, would I have been grounded? I can’t do anything now. I wonder if Mom and Dad have seen my handwritten letter.

At this moment, Howard and Vivian had finished reading Audrey’s handwritten letter, and they were touched. After all, she was a child whom they had raised for more than ten years. However, the principles that should be upheld couldn’t be compromised.

They thought, ’If we don’t make Audrey realize her mistake this time, she will dare to do it again next time.’

Howard said with difficulty, "Should we arrange for Audrey to stay elsewhere? It could help reduce conflicts, and there’s also Audrey’s feelings for David that we have to consider."

Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David)

Chapter 99 "They’re starting school soon," Vivian said. "Let her stay in the dorm once the term begins." Vivian wanted to give Audrey a chance, but she didn’t want her precious daughter to be upset.

Howard pursed his lips and said seriously, "That works too. We owe Danielle to begin with. We can’t let our precious daughter be upset anymore."

"I thought Audrey no longer had feelings for David," Vivian said, feeling somewhat down. "It’s my fault for not paying attention to that."

"Even if you paid attention, it wouldn’t help," Howard said. "If she doesn’t want you to notice her feelings, don’t you think she’d know how to hide them?" Howard wasn’t trying to judge Audrey that way.

It was just that people who were in love would do anything. That was why he wanted Audrey to move out and reduce the chances of meeting David.

That way, she would slowly forget about him.

"Let’s hope that grounding Audrey this time will truly make her reflect," Vivian said somewhat worriedly.
