Chapter 81 It was late at night.
The lights of the villa at the top of the mountain were dim and yellow, a stark contrast to the dazzling gold and jade in the day. The villa was enveloped in a curtain of darkness, like a sleeping beast, quiet and mysterious.
The villa was quiet. At this time, everyone was resting. The maid who had served oatmeal to Vivian during the day walked out of the room sneakily.
Seeing that there was no one around, she crept her way to the back garden.
She stood in the back garden and looked around cautiously. Seeing that no one was following her, she walked into a room and locked the door.
The man in the room was calm when he saw her.
"No one saw you, right?" asked the man.
The maid replied, "Donât worry. Iâve looked around and found on one. I took a detour here to avoid the cameras."
Frowning, the man said in an accusing tone, "Itâs better to be careful these days. We canât spoil Blairâs plan for trifles."
The maid was Judy. Ivan had spent a lot of effort to place her beside Vivian. To gain Vivianâs trust, he had almost not ordered her to do anything. She usually took care of Vivian. Currently, she won Vivianâs trust.
"I got it, Ivan," said Judy.
Before Judy came to the Darling family, she had been working by Ivanâs side. She was on the same side as Ivan.
She did not stand on ceremony and poured herself a glass of water.
She said, "Audrey canât see the situation. I canât believe she seduced David in the Darling familyâs living room. If not for the poison in Vivian and Howardâs bodies had been activated, she would have been kicked out.
"I donât know why Blair asked us to protect her. Sheâs not helpful at all.
"The poison had just been placed in their bodies and it takes time to work. Now that it was activated forcefully, it would probably hibernate for some time.
"Danielle can cure her grandparents, who were in a vegetative state, which proves her medical skills. I wonder if she can tell," Judy said worriedly.
If Danielle found out something, their plans would be affected.
Ivanâs gaze was deep. He showed a faint and reassuring smile.
He said, "Have you not done any missions for too long? Are you not even confident in your poison?
"Itâs one thing for Danielle to have high medical skills, but she might not know about poison. Sheâs gone overseas now. We can take the chance to cause some trouble for her. When she comes back, school will start. By the time she discovers the poison, it will have already been absorbed.
"Keep an eye on Howard and Vivian. Controlling them is very important for us to control the Darling family."
Ivan had a strange smile on his face.
"Have you reported it to Blair? He, is he all right?" Judy asked in a much gentler tone.
One could tell that she was very concerned about him. Ever since she came to the Darling family, she had never contacted Blair. Usually, it was Ivan contacting him.
Ivan reminded her, "Donât overthink. Just focus on your mission. Blair isnât someone you can fantasize about. Pay attention to the Darling family.
Thatâs what you should do.
"If you need anything, just text me. There are too many people and itâs easy to be exposed." Ivan looked at Judy in disdain.
Both of them were sent to the Darling family. If they disrupted Blairâs plan, they would be severely punished.
"I understand. Iâll go back," said Judy.
Judy was a little disappointed that she didnât hear any news about Blair. She knew she wasnât worthy of Blair, but she couldnât help but miss him.
"Um," Ivan hummed.
The plane that David and Danielle took flew in the air for fourteen hours.
It finally landed on a manor in Mithland.
The butler in the manor knew that his boss was coming over and stood outside the cabin to wait for him.
David and Danielle got off the plane, followed by a group of bodyguards.
Dylan, the butler, said respectfully with a bow, "Mr. Charrington, Miss Darling. Itâs good to see you. The food is ready. Please."
"Danielle, this is Dylan. Heâs in charge of the affairs of the manor. Weâll be staying here while weâre in Mithland," David introduced.
"Okay," said Danielle.
She looked over and found the entire manor brightly lit. It occupied a very large area and was in the Gothic style.
The few of them boarded the manorâs shuttle and arrived at the manorâs entrance ten minutes later.
The gate of the manor was wide open, unraveling its mystery. When they stepped into the manor, what greeted them was the spacious hall. The ceiling of the hall stood tall. Dazzling lights fell and dappled the ground.
The walls were ornately wallpapered with elaborate patterns. The decorations not only improved apparent aesthetic sense, but also revealed the elegant taste of its owner. The floor, on the other hand, was paved with smooth marble that reflected the light from above, making the hall seem particularly bright.
In the middle of the hall, there was a luxurious set of sofas and coffee tables.
Beyond that, the hall contained many other elaborate details. Art paintings hung on the walls, each one a world-famous painting, and in one corner, uniquely sculpted sculptures displayed a distinctive artistic style. A faint aroma hung in the air, perhaps from burning scented candles or flowers.
All in all, this spacious hall was filled with luxury and elegance. It was both a place to receive guests and a place for family members to gather.
"Danielle, letâs go eat something," said David.
Meals were available on the plane, but Danielle did not eat much. After more than ten hours of long trip, she should be hungry by now.
"Alright," Danielle nodded and spoke gently.
The dishes on the dining table were all Danielleâs favorites. David must have specially instructed the servants.
David said, "Eat more."
At this moment, Danielleâs phone vibrated.
Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David)
ï¤Chapter 80 [Boss, Iâve found a guy knowing about your kidnapping. Heâs overseas now. Iâll send you the information later.]
The clue they found out about Benjamin a few days ago was cut off. Emery had been investigating and finally found a clue. He quickly reported it to Danielle.
Danielle replied: [Got it.]
Not long after, she received the information in her mailbox. Danielle took a rough look. It was a coincidence that this person was also in Mithland, but he was far away from her. Now that she was with David, Danielle wondered what excuse she could find to act alone.
David had been keeping an eye on Danielle. He found her eyes darting around after she received the message.
He asked, "Whatâs the matter? Is something wrong?"
