Chapter 111: Chapter 111

Chapter 111 Back then, Danielle suddenly disappeared at the banquet! This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the entire Darling family. The ones who blamed themselves the most were undoubtedly Howard and Vivian. In the blink of an eye, Danielle disappeared in front of them.

They could not accept the fact that Danielle had gone missing. They were immersed in pain every day and often cried.

Late at night, Vivian would hide in Danielle’s room and cry until she broke down. Every sound was like a sharp sword that stabbed deeply into the hearts of the family.

Howard was also in extreme pain. The man who was all-powerful in the business world had lost control because of his daughter’s disappearance.

The Darling family had always longed for a daughter. When they finally had one, she tragically went missing. The shock was too much for the grandparents, who fainted and had to be hospitalized for a long time. Even after being discharged, they remained deeply despondent.

Those years, the Darling family seemed to be shrouded in a huge haze. Everyone felt terrible.

The Darling family’s sons watched as their parents, consumed by sorrow every day, seemed like they had lost their souls, almost giving up hope for continuing with life.

Later, their parents went to the welfare home to adopt a little girl similar to Danielle, Audrey. At first, they did not agree.

They felt that adopting Audrey meant that they had given up on looking for Danielle. Then Danielle would never come back.

However, seeing that Howard and Vivian’s mood gradually improved because of Audrey’s arrival, they accepted this reality. Fortunately, Howard and Vivian did not give up on finding Danielle because of Audrey.Now that Danielle had finally been found, they could not let her suffer when she returned home.

"Dad, Mom, Audrey’s thoughts are very obvious. It’s her who didn’t know her place. If she can be obedient, we’re willing to treat her like Danielle."

Elliot did not have deep feelings for Audrey since she was young.

Since Audrey was his sister, he had the responsibility to treat her well. However, now that she wanted to hurt Danielle, he was the first to disagree.

"If you ask me, why don’t we just chase Audrey out? She’s been scheming all day long. Danielle is so innocent, and she might be bullied somewhere we can’t see. Then what’s the point of us finding Danielle?" Matthew was indeed a lawyer. His words seemed to have enlightened Howard and Vivian.

The so-called innocent Danielle thought, ’Matthew, there’s no need. I’m not so easy to bully...

Howard and Vivian looked at Danielle guiltily. They were too selfish. They only thought about themselves and did not consider Danielle’s feelings.

"Danielle, I was too selfish and didn’t consider your feelings. I’ll go look for Audrey now." After saying that, Vivian was about to go upstairs.

Danielle pulled her back and said softly, "Dad, Mom, I really don’t feel aggrieved. Since I’ve already said that I’ll give Audrey another chance, let’s see if she’ll change."

At this time, even if her parents chased Audrey out, they would feel uncomfortable and guilty. It was better to keep Audrey for now. If Audrey could really change, they could coexist peacefully.

However, with her understanding of Audrey, Audrey should hate her to the core now, so Audrey would still provoke her. When they were disappointed enough, they would know Audrey’s true color.

"Dad, Mom, let’s follow what Danielle said and observe first." Joseph knew what Danielle was thinking. Indeed, it would be hard to chase Audrey out now. It was better to let his parents see Audrey’s true color. After the meal, Danielle returned to her room.

She went to the bathroom to take a shower first. Her hair was dripping wet. She picked up her phone and called Juniper. "Juniper, I sent you the skincare formula. How far have you researched it?"

The new skincare line last quarter was well-liked by users. She had specially matched the new products this season with effective skincare.

Juniper said, "Danielle, you’re back. It has been developed in the laboratory. I will go to the Grace Group tomorrow to talk to Lyla about this."

"Okay," replied Danielle.

The Hill family was not so harmonious.

At this time, the Hill family’s villa was brightly lit. Alexis walked into the living room angrily. "Go and call Hope down."

"Alexis, what happened? Calm down first." Tina didn’t know why Alexis was so angry. As soon as he came back, he called for Hope angrily.

Hope was called downstairs by the servant. She was a little unwilling. She was going out with her friend tomorrow and was choosing tomorrow’s clothes when she was called down. "Dad, why did you call me? I still have to choose the clothes to go out tomorrow."

Seeing her like this, Alexis was so angry that his neck turned red. With red eyes, he went up and slapped Hope.

Hope was slapped hard and was stunned. Tina was also stunned by this sudden scene.

Alexis had used a lot of strength, so Hope’s face was red and swollen, and the corner of her mouth was bleeding.

"Alexis, what are you doing? Why did you hit Hope?" Tina was the first to react. She pushed Alexis away and hugged Hope.

Alexis roared, "What am I doing? Ask this unfilial daughter what she did. Our Hill Group went bankrupt in the afternoon."

Originally, a while back, the Charrington Group had imposed a business blockade. In order not to offend the Charrington Group, many companies chose to breach their contracts and pay penalties rather than collaborate with the Hill Group, pushing the Hill Group to the brink of bankruptcy.

It was only after Hope pleaded with Miss Darling to invest in the Hill Group that they were barely able to keep it running.

The good times didn’t last long. This afternoon, the Hill Group went bankrupt. David’s assistant called Alexis, telling him to keep his daughter in line and to avoid provoking the wrong people. The bankruptcy was merely a warning to the Hill family.

Ever since receiving the call from the Charrington Group, Alexis had been extremely anxious. Everyone in Soufield knew about David’s ruthless methods. Those who crossed him never escaped unscathed. Just thinking about it sent shivers down Alexis’s spine. So he hung up and rushed back without caring that the company had gone bankrupt.

"Dad, what did I do? I didn’t do anything. I haven’t been out much recently. How can I be blamed for the company’s bankruptcy?" Hope felt that she had been wronged. Tears streamed down her face.

Upon hearing that the company had gone bankrupt, Tina was devastated. Her luxurious lifestyle, filled with monthly beauty treatments, jewelry, new clothes, and designer bags, was now at risk.

Overwhelmed by her sudden change in fortune, she broke down in tears. "Alexis, why did the company go bankrupt? How are we going to survive if it goes bankrupt?"

Alexis sat on the sofa in the living room with his eyes wide open.

Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David)

Chapter 110 "Don’t you the reason? Recently, the company inexplicably fell into crisis. Our partners chose to breach contracts rather than continue their agreements, all because the Charrington Group spread word in the business community. They were afraid to offend the Charrington family.

"The Charrington Group made my company go bankrupt this afternoon. David’s assistant specially asked me to discipline my daughter. This is just a warning.

"Tell me how you provoked the Charrington Group!" After saying that, Alexis kicked Hope again. If not for the fact that she was his only daughter, he really wanted to beat her to death.
