Chapter 128 The two of them came out of the principalâs office and brought all the snacks Ryan had prepared back to the dormitory.
Juniper was quite extroverted and had a warm, outgoing personality. Therefore, Danielle didnât need to talk much; having Juniper around was enough to liven up the atmosphere. Soon, the four roommates in the dormitory started to warm up to each other.
Juniper said, "This is a snack that Danielle and I brought back. Letâs share it together."
"Wow, this snack looks so delicious. Danielle, did you buy it for us?" June said happily.
Danielle always felt that June was overly enthusiastic about her. She said calmly, "No, it was given to me by someone else."
"It looks so delicious. You didnât forget to bring snacks back for me and Jane when you went out to play. Iâm so happy!" Juneâs exaggerated tone made the three people in the dormitory fall silent.
A ringtone broke the brief silence.
Danielle saw that it was Xavierâs call and answered it.
"Danielle! When I woke up, I realized that there was no one at home. Everyone went to send you to school. Itâs all my fault. I drank too much yesterday and didnât get up." Xavier held his hangover head. He was still a little dizzy.
As soon as Danielle picked up the call, she heard Xavierâs wailing. "Iâm fine, Xavier. Does your head still hurt?" She asked with concern.
"I donât know why the alcohol at Davidâs place hits so hard; Iâm still feeling a bit dizzy. Luckily, you didnât drink, or else you would have missed the enrollment today." Xavier grimaced as he rubbed his head, noticing a large bump on his forehead in the mirror. "Ah! Danielle! Iâm going to be disfigured. Thereâs a big bump on my head. Who hit me while I was drunk?"
âYou totally embarrassed yourself because you were drunk!â Danielle didnât mind making it even more embarrassing for Xavier, so maybe he would remember not to drink next time. "Xavier, do you really not remember what happened yesterday?"
"What happened?" Xavier scratched his head. Suddenly, some memories surged into his mind.
His mouth widened, and he even found it unbelievable. âDid I do those things? This is so awkward...â
"Um, Danielle, take good care of yourself in school.
I will visit you when I have time. Iâll talk to you later. Bye!" Xavier finished his sentence in one breath and hung up.
"This is so embarrassing, how could I do that to a man, and then get hit by him... It must not have been him. It was a dream, yes, just a dream. Xavier kept brainwashing himself before slowly walking downstairs.
In the Johnson Group, Jadenâs assistant reported, adding his comment on the situation.
He said, "Mr. Johnson, here is all the news about Xavier. You usually donât pay attention to the entertainment section, so why the sudden interest in the subsidiaryâs affairs?
Also, he made the trending news this morning for sticking his head out on an overpass and waving at passing vehicles. It was really silly! I felt embarrassed and foolish just watching the trending news," the assistant reported, adding his comment on the situation.
Jadenâs expression instantly turned cold as he looked up at his assistant coldly.
The assistant trembled in fear. âDid I say something wrong? Why does Mr. Johnson look like he wants to kill me?â He asked weakly, "Mr. Johnson, why do you want news about Xavier?"
Jaden ordered, "Youâre even more stupid. Donât ask what you shouldnât ask. Also, remove the trending topic."
The assistant thought to himself, âHow am I stupid? Iâm your most capable assistant. Iâm extremely smart.
Jaden frowned. "Why are you still standing here? Get out."
"Okay, Iâll do it now, Mr. Johnson. I guarantee that Iâll remove the trending searches immediately." The assistant hurriedly walked out of the CEOâs office.
âI donât know if heâs sober or if his head hurts from the hangover. I must be possessed. Why should I care about a man? It seems like I have to find a girlfriend quickly. Jaden glanced at Xavierâs news in frustration and put it aside.
In the Darling family, Xavier rubbed his head and went downstairs leisurely. He saw that the entire family was at home. "Dad, Mom, Brother, are you back from sending Danielle to school?"
Vivianâs eyes were as red as a rabbitâs. She was still worried that Danielle was not used to school life. When she looked up, she saw Xavier with his hair standing on end. "Look at you. You donât look like an idol at all. You look like a vagrant."
"What? Mom, why are you talking about me like that? My head still hurts. Why donât you show me some concern?" Xavier pouted in protest.
Vivian thought of Xavierâs appearance yesterday and her head hurt even more. "Hurry up and do what you need to do. Youâre so embarrassing.
Youâve completely embarrassed me."
"How am I embarrassing?" Xavier was completely dejected. It was indeed disgraceful. He also felt a little embarrassed. âFortunately, I donât have much interaction with Jaden.â
"Hey, show me some concern. Iâve been despised by our mother." Xavier pounced on the sofa and sought the comfort of his brothers.
"Get up." The brothers pushed Xavier away mercilessly.
Xavierâs phone rang. When he saw that it was his manager, he had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.
Xavier resignedly answered the call. "Xavier, youâre courting disaster again. Can you not go a day without trending? Are you that restless?" his manager shouted angrily over the phone.
"What trending topic? Iâve been at home all this time. I didnât do anything." Xavier was confused.
"Have you been drinking? Sticking your head out on an overpass and waving at passing cars, and someone even caught it on camera, making it to the trending news! Now your fans are calling you a fool. What happened to your cool, aloof image? Do you even care about it anymore?" Xavierâs antics were so frequent that his manager had a heache. Xavier took out his phone and looked for trending topics related to him. âHow could that be?
He even said that I looked like a fool. I am not. He said, "Thereâs no trending topic about me! Are you old and blind? Do you want me to take on some jobs again?"
The manager took it out to take a look. The trending topic was gone. "I donât know which kind-hearted person removed your trending topic. Can you stop causing trouble for me? Give me some peaceful days!"
"Got it. Iâm hanging up." Xavier decided to never drink again. Drinking only brought trouble.
After taking a shower, Danielle lay on the bed and picked up her phone to read the messages sent by her subordinate. [Miss Darling, in the past few days, the Prosper Group has been closely involved with the Dixon, Harris, and Stuart families, injecting funds into each of them. It seems highly likely that the poisoning incident we discussed last time was orchestrated by the Prosper Group.]
It was the same as Danielle had guessed. She typed: [Continue to monitor them. Intercept their businesses when necessary. Since the Prosper Group has such a long reach, chop off their hands.]
Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David)
ï¤Chapter 127 Her subordinate thought, âMiss Darling deserves to be my boss. Sheâs brave enough.â
