Chapter 85 "I gotta ask you something. Iâll let you go if you answer honestly," Danielle spoke unhurriedly.
"Will you let me go after I answer?" Kevin asked in disbelief.
"Yes," said Danielle.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
"Who is it?" Danielle spoke coldly, frowning.
"Iâm the owner of the casino. I brought a bottle of red wine for you guys," Owen said.
He pushed the door open and entered before Danielle respond.
Danielle was speechless because she didnât let him in and she found it strange that the boss came in with a bottle of red wine. "Youâre the guests here. I shall send you a bottle of wine for you."
Owen sat down on the sofa. Neither David nor Danielle spoke.
When Owen saw Danielleâs facial features, he realized she resembled his sister. He couldnât help but wonder if Danielle was his sisterâs daughter. He soon dismissed the idea out of hand because his sister and her husband were in love.
"Whatâs your name?" Owen asked.
Danielle glanced at Owen who sat on the sofa with ease.
"Does it have anything to do with you? Get out," Danielle said bluntly.
"Well, you have a bad temper. Itâs fine. You guys go about your business. Iâll just sit around," Owen said without getting angry.
"Owen, are you very free? Why donât I find you something to do?" David said coldly. "David, are you bluffing? Iâm so scared," Owen said teasingly, playing with the rosary beads in his hand. His eyes were devoid of fear.
"This is your first warning," David spoke in a low but firm voice.
Danielle stared at the rosary beads in Owenâs hand and said calmly, "Let him stay for now."
"Alright." Davidâs tone was as not as cold as when he spoke to Owen just now.
Owen clicked his tongue.
"Do you know this man?" asked Danielle.
She took out a photo of Benjamin covered in wounds and blood and showed it to Kevin.
She wasnât trying to scare Kevin with the photo. It was Emery who had sent it to her.
Kevin was shocked when he saw the photo. In an instant, he regained his composure.
"Who is this? I donât know him," he said.
Kevinâs expression just now didnât escape Danielleâs eyes. She knew he was lying.
"Iâm done answering. Can you let me go now?" Kevin asked and was about to leave.
"Do you wanna die?" Danielleâs cold voice came from behind Kevin.
Kevin was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground. He was sure that Danielle was serious and this was a blatant threat.
Danielle said, "I donât have much patience. Youâd better not piss me off.
âIâll give you two choices. First, answer my question honestly and Iâll let you go. Second, Iâll beat you until you answer me, then youâll die."
Kevin was dumbfounded. He realized there was no choice for him.
Danielle crossed her arms. Her beautiful face revealed an innocent expression, as if the cruel words just now did not come from her.
Owen raised his eyebrows. He did not expect the woman beside David to be as ruthless as him.
"I-I do know him, but Iâve never met him before. I only contacted him through my phone," Kevin said.
He was afraid Danielle would kill him if he did not answer honestly. However, he wouldnât get away with it even if he told her the truth.
"Who are you working for?" Danielle asked.
She knew that Kevin was a nobody and there must be someone behind him.
"I was in a lot of gambling debts at the time, and suddenly one day a woman called me and asked me to do a thing for her and promised me a large sum of money.
"Unexpectedly, she wanted to kill me when it was all settled. Fortunately, I was smart and escaped overseas." Danielle realized the person behind the scenes was quite cautious. They had spent a lot of effort to find two small characters.
"Do you know her name? Or can you tell the age?" Danielle asked.
"I donât think she is from Aleria. Although she spoke the language well, she had a foreign accent. I donât know anything else, replied Kevin.
Danielle fell silent. It was unknown if he was analyzing the authenticity of Kevinâs words.
"Well, Iâm telling the truth. Can you let me go?" Kevin spoke carefully.
"You can go now," Danielle said calmly.
"Really? Then Iâm leaving?" Kevin could not believe Danielle would let him go so easily.
"You donât want to leave?" asked Danielle.
"N-no, Iâm leaving now," said Kevin.
After confirming Danielle meant it, Kevin pushed the door open and ran out in a panic.
Patrick, who was standing at the side, did not expect Danielle to let Kevin off so easily after asking a few questions. He thought Danielle was too young and was not like what he heard from David.
[Kevinâs out of the casino. Follow him and see who he comes into contact with.] Danielle sent a message.
"Mrs. Charrington, should we send someone to keep an eye on Kevin?" Patrick asked.
"No need," Danielle said.
"But..." Patrick wanted to say something.
"Patrick, youâre talking too much," David said as a vicious look flashed across Davidâs eyes.
"Iâm sorry, Mrs. Charrington," Patrick apologized indignantly, but he was absolutely obedient to his boss. "Iâve already sent someone to follow Kevin,"
Danielle said calmly.
She knew what Patrick meant.
Then, she turned to look at Owen, who was watching the show.
"Can you show me this string of rosary beads?"
Danielle asked.
Owen was stunned for a moment, not expecting Danielle let him stay and watch the show just to see his rosary beads.
Facing Owenâs long silence, Liam decided to explain to ease the awkward atmosphere.
He said, "Miss, my boss got the rosary beads from the church. Theyâre very magical and not to be touched by others casually. Itâs said that wearing them will prevent illnesses and calm oneâs mind."
Danielle snorted coldly. Although she hadnât taken a closer look at the rosary beads, she was amused by Liamâs words. "Well, I donât think the rosary beads are good for you," Danielle said.
Owen and Liamâs faces darkened. Only David believed Danielle was right.
Liam said, "Miss, youâre quite beautiful, but your words are unpleasant to ear."
"What do you mean?" A trace of confusion flashed across Owenâs eyes as he asked.
"Literally," said Danielle.
Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David)
ï¤Chapter 84 "Are you saying thereâs something wrong with my rosary beads?" Owen asked.
He had been wearing the rosary beads for years. If there was a problem, he should have known long ago. However, he was puzzled as Danielle didnât look like she was lying.
"Danielle, letâs go home. Forget about him. Wouldnât it be better if something happened to him?" David said. He held Danielleâs hand and was about to walk out.
Owen was speechless. He was just momentarily confused.
Danielle didnât want to say more since Owen didnât believe her. In any case, she had reminded him.
