Chapter 120 David stood beside Danielle with a cold expression and did not speak. No one could tell his emotions.
Alexisâs face was full of anticipation, but David did not speak for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking, so he did not dare to say anything.
"What do you think, Danielle?" David let Danielle decide the fate of the Hill family. As long as he could make Danielle happy, he would do anything.
The Hill family did not expect David to dote on Danielle so much. Suddenly, they looked at Danielle with shining eyes. Just now, Danielle had relented. âIt seems that we still have a chance, Alexis thought confidently.
The next second, Danielle said, "I think itâs good that the Hill Group has gone bankrupt. After all, they canât even raise their daughter properly. The future of the Hill Group is also quite worrying; it might be better to help Mr. Hill retire early." She had just caught the gleam in the eyes of the Hill family who seemed to regard her as a saint.
"What? Miss Darling, didnât you forgive Hope just now?" Alexis was just about to thank Danielle. âWhat is Miss Darling talking about? What does she mean by asking me to retire early?â
"When did I ever say that I forgave her? Do you apologize to me and ask for my forgiveness based on your imagination?" There was no smile in Danielleâs eyes. "If I were you, I would look for Audrey to help you solve the problem. After all, itâs because of her that your family ended up like this, right?"
Hope stood at the side with her head lowered. Her eyes were filled with unwillingness and resentment. âWhy should I, the dignified daughter of the Hill family, have to apologize humbly here while Danielle is so high and mighty? Isnât it just because sheâs got David on her side, using his influence as if itâs a royal decree?â
Of course, she would not let Audrey and Danielle off. One day, she would definitely trample these two people under her feet. In the other car, because of the sudden brake, Xavierâs head hit the car door and his head turned red. "Whatâs wrong with you? My head..." His eyes were filled with resentment.
"Let me see." Jaden turned Xavierâs head around. His skin wasnât broken, but it was red. "Iâll take you to the hospital."
When Xavier heard that he was going to the hospital, he grabbed his seatbelt tightly. "You want to sell me off? Sure, Iâm a big star and good-looking, but do you even know who I am? The Darling family wonât let you off for this," Xavier said, eyeing Jaden warily. His head had just taken a hit, and now he felt even more dazed.
"Where did you take Danielle? Return Danielle to me, you human trafficker. How dare you kidnap Danielle? Iâll bite you to death today." Xavier quickly grabbed Jadenâs hand, opened his mouth, and bit down hard.
Jaden didnât expect the drunkard to be so fast.
Xavier grabbed his hand and started to bite it.
Xavier used all his strength to bite Jadenâs hand.
Jaden gasped as he was bitten. He used his other hand to push Xavierâs head away. "Are you a dog?" Xavier even bit him.
"Humph, are you afraid? I advise you to let go of Danielle quickly, or else..." Xavier raised his face that was flushed from the alcohol and said fiercely.
Before Xavier could finish speaking, Jaden pinched his chin. "Or what? Do you want to bite me? Huh?" He narrowed his eyes and looked at the drunkard.
Xavierâs chin was gripped tightly by Jaden, causing his face to pale with fear. Panicking at the thought that this human trafficker was about to hit him, he began to flail at Jaden. In a desperate attempt to escape, he tried to open the car door and flee, but was abruptly yanked back by the seatbelt he had forgotten to unbuckle. In his frantic state, he yelled, "The trafficker is hitting me, oh..."
Jaden pulled Xavier back, covered his chattering mouth, and closed the car door. His actions were done in one go. "Behave yourself." His eyes were filled with helplessness. He did not know why he was so indulgent of a man like Xavier.
Indeed, Xavier was a top celebrity in the entertainment industry, with his delicate, youthful looks, almost like a young girl, and his tendency to cry at the drop of a hat. Jaden couldnât help but feel bewildered. âWhat on earth am I thinking? This is insane. Perhaps itâs time to start looking for a girlfriend.
Everyone inside and outside the Nathor Palace heard Xavierâs shouting, but no one stepped forward.
In the morning, the servant saw Xavier hugging Jaden and crying. It was also Jaden who carried him out just now. The servants in the Nathor Palace were all open-minded.
The rest of the onlookers didnât care at all. They wished that Jaden could open the car door for them to see. They wanted more fun. Outside the door, Danielle was even more at ease as she handed Xavier over to Jaden. At this moment, she did not care about Xavierâs wailing. When he woke up, he would be embarrassed.
Danielle did not want to waste any more time with the Hill family. She turned around and got into the car. David did not want to talk to them anymore either.
The car drove far away, and they could still hear the wails of the Hill family.
Danielle asked, "Have you checked the servants in the Charrington family?" After all, those families had been poisoned.
David flashed a smile because Danielle cared for him. "We wouldnât have these issues at Nathor Palace. As for the Charrington Manor, Grandpa is there to handle things. Anyone working at Nathor Palace has been thoroughly vetted. If someone manages to infiltrate, they must be quite capable."
"Arenât you worried about Logan?" Danielle heard his confident words and asked.
To be able to take over the Charrington Group and expand it, David must have some tricks up his sleeve. "Donât worry about Grandpa. Grandpa isnât a soft-hearted person."
Danielle knew that he had a plan, so she did not say anything else.
The car slowly drove into the Darling family.
"When you start school, weâll have fewer chances to see each other. I canât bear to part with you." David sounded aggrieved.
"We have weekends off, and I can come out even when I donât have classes. Itâs not like itâs a boarding school. Iâll come see you whenever Iâm free, okay?" Danielle said with a smile, her gentle tone carrying a comforting reassurance.
Davidâs eyes immediately lit up. After a moment of silence, he pretended to be unwilling and said, "Then you have to make time every week to accompany me and keep a distance from the boys in school."
"I know. I donât even look at those guys. Iâll spend my time with you whenever I can, okay?" Danielle said, her beautiful eyes gazing at David as she spoke softly, soothing him with promises before anything else, making sure to cheer him up first.
David looked at Danielle coaxing him gently and felt a trace of sweetness in his heart. âSo this is how it feels to be coaxed by the woman I love.â
"Alright, Iâll listen to you." There was an inexplicable hint of obedience in Davidâs tone.
Seeing that David had been coaxed, Danielle pushed open the door and got out of the car.
As soon as she got out of the car, she heard a wail. "Ah... Youâre hurting me. Be gentle..."
Danielle wondered, âWhatâs happening between Xavier and Jaden? Is it proper?â
