Chapter 112 Hope was kicked to the floor. She was in so much pain that she couldnât straighten her back. She cried and shook her head, saying, "Dad, I really didnât provoke the Charrington family."
Tina also sat on the sofa with an ashen face. After all, she often had afternoon tea with some noble ladies. Davidâs reputation was well-known. "Hope, just confess it. At this time, we have to think of a way. If we provoke someone, we have to apologize.
Only then will David let us go."
Hope had been pampered by her parents since she was young. She had never suffered such a huge grievance and kept crying.
Alexis roared, "Crying, always crying, look at the daughter youâve raised - a fool, a waste. If it werenât for her, how could our Hill Group have been targeted by the Charrington Group?
"Tell me, who did you provoke? Why did the Charrington Group go to such lengths to make us go bankrupt?
"If you donât explain yourself clearly, Iâll send you to David and let him deal with you personally. However, no one caught by him will escape alive.
You better answer my question properly."
Initially, Hope also had a crush on David, but he was too scary, so she did not dare to like him anymore. Now her father was really going to give up on her. But no matter how she thought about it, she did not know how she had offended David. âCould it be...
Hope said, "I did have a disagreement with someone when I went shopping a while ago, but as you know, Audrey saved our company in the end.
"Audrey told me that Danielle was just a poor relative from her hometown. Thatâs why I wanted to teach Danielle a lesson to make Audrey happy.
"If it werenât for her poor relative, I wouldnât have been blacklisted by the mall manager. Now, I canât even enter the central mall."
Alexis fell into deep thought. âIs that really just a poor relative from the countryside? Last time, I asked Hope to plead with Miss Darling, but Miss Darling couldnât make David change his mind. To have Cecil personally order a blacklist, it couldnât have been that simple.
He hurriedly took out his phone and called Cecil. "Hello, Mr. Walton. Iâm Alexis. I want to know something from you."
"Mr. Hill, what do you want to know? Are you going to order clothes for your daughter? Then I canât make an exception. Sheâs already on our mallâs blacklist. We wonât sell anything to her. Besides, you wonât ask me for customization." Cecil said sarcastically. Last time, his career almost ended because of Hope.
Alexis felt very embarrassed. If his company hadnât gone bankrupt, a mall manager would have dared to talk to him like this. "You misunderstood, Mr.
Walton. I didnât call to order clothes; I wanted to ask about an incident that happened a while ago in the mall involving Hope and a young girl. Do you know who that girl was?"
Cecil thought, âIt turns out that he called for this. It seemed that the Hill family has gone bankrupt today because Mr. Charrington wanted to avenge his fiancee.â
He said, "Speaking of this, I have to say that your daughter doesnât look like a lady from a prestigious family at all. Sheâs more like a shrew. Of course, sheâs no longer from a prestigious family.
"I can tell you that the young girl your daughter troubled in the mall happens to be Mr. Charringtonâs fiancee, and it is said that Mr. Charrington values her very much."
Alexis said shakily, "Isnât Mr. Charringtonâs fiancee Audrey?"
âAlexis knows nothing. No wonder his company went bankrupt. Cecil rolled his eyes on the other end of the phone. "What does Audrey have to do with it? This young lady is indeed Mr. Charringtonâs fiancee, as he has personally acknowledged."
Speaking of which, Cecil was quite grateful to that young lady. Not only did she refrain from complaining to David, but she also spoke highly of him, resulting in the company awarding him a substantial bonus. Truly, she was kind and beautiful.
Cecil said, "Mr. Hill, if thereâs nothing else, Iâll hang up first. You should teach your daughter a lesson."
After hanging up the phone, Alexisâs face darkened to the core. Previously, he thought that Hope was enlightened and could build a good relationship with Audrey. But Cecil said that Davidâs fiancee was someone else, and their family directly offended her.
Alexis asked, "Who told you that the girl who had a conflict with you was the Darling familyâs poor relative?"
Hope was puzzled and cast a suspicious glance at him. "Audrey told me that. Audrey even called her a homewrecker. Thatâs why I went to confront her in a moment of anger."
Hearing Hopeâs words, Alexis understood everything. Audrey had used Hope as a tool. She played the good guy but caused their company to go bankrupt.
"Shut up. Do you know who she is? What an idiot. How did I give birth to such a fool as you?
"The young lady you offended in the business world is Mr. Charringtonâs fiancee. I was wondering why Mr. Charrington wanted to exterminate our company. It was because of a jinx like you." Now that he knew what had happened, Alexis was so angry that his chest hurt. He really wanted to beat this idiot to death.
"What? Dad, what did you say? How is that possible? How can she be Davidâs fiancee? Audrey is his fiancee. I heard that Mr. Charrington loves Audrey very much." Hopeâs eyes widened in disbelief.
Alexis shouted, "Have you lost your mind? Cecil said that Mr. Charrington himself admitted it. If Mr. Charrington truly loved Audrey, why didnât he show any leniency toward our family for her sake?"
At this moment, Hope felt her blood freeze. âWasnât she just a malicious, poor relative? Wasnât she a homewrecker? How did she suddenly become Davidâs fiancee?
âIt was Audrey who said all this, so I really believed it. I even went out full of zeal to take up her cause. Just a while ago, I was grateful to Audrey for financially helping my family.
âIt turns out that I really harmed my family, causing the company to go bankrupt. But why would Audrey Darling do this?â
"I need to find Audrey and ask her for an explanation." With that, Hope got up to leave.
"Stop right there. Donât you think youâve caused enough trouble? No matter what, Audrey is the Darling familyâs daughter. Are you going to reason with her now so that the Darling family can attack us too?
"Besides, would she admit it? She couldnât do anything to the young lady herself. Thatâs why she used an idiot like you as a tool.
"We canât offend the Charrington Group and then offend the Darling family." Alexis was quite calm at this moment. He could directly analyze the pros and cons.
"Alexis, what should we do now? Should we just suffer in silence?" Tina hated Audrey to the core now. If it werenât for her, the Charrington Group wouldnât have dealt with the Hill family.
Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David)
ï¤Chapter 111 "The only thing we can do now is to find Mr. Charringtonâs fiancee and ask Hope to apologize to her and beg for her forgiveness. Only then will our family have a chance of survival," said Alexis.
Tina asked, "Alexis, we donât even know where that girl lives. How can we apologize?"
Alexis replied, "Letâs go to Mr. Charringtonâs place tomorrow and see if we can bump into her."
