Chapter 485
Billionaire’s Missing Darling
As soon as the elders entered, they greeted Daniel eagerly and asked him if he was settling down comfortably here.
Daniel was facing them with his side. His goodâlooking side profile was cold and beautiful. Even the elders were stunned.
This Daniel was really goodâlooking.
Daniel was curled up on the sofa lazily. His halfâsquinted eyes were deep. and charming.
âI love it here,â he said. âItâs given me an unexpected but delightful surprise.â
Wow, such a high evaluation!
The few elders looked at each other. They had not expected Daniel to give such a high evaluation.
The Lopez Familyâs First Elder said, âI wonder if dinner is to Danielâs taste? Lucy and the others specially cooked a few dishes for you.â
Upon hearing this, Daniel did not answer. Instead, he glanced at Braeden Lopez with a little coldness.
Braeden instantly felt uneasy and did not know how to respond. It was Lucy who said apologetically, âGrandpa, we didnât cook for Daniel.â
âWhatâs going on?â Braedenâs expression changed.
The other elders also looked over in surprise.
Lucy first smiled shyly at Daniel, then explained in a low voice, âWe were preparing dinner in the kitchen, but halfway through, the Saintess went inâ¦
âSheâ¦â Lucy made to say something but hesitated as if she was too embarrassed to criticize others.
Irene, on the other hand, couldnât stand the grievance and interrupted, âLucy, donât save face for the Saintess. Daniel, you donât know this, but the Saintess was very domineering. As soon as she came in, she called all the servants away and didnât leave any for us, making it impossible for us.
to cook.â
After saying that, she looked at Daniel with a resentful and expectant gaze.
Daniel ignored her and lowered his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking After listening to Ireneâs complaint, Dolph, First Elder of the Flores larrilly, couldnât sit still. He really hadnât expected the Saintess to be so domineering, nor had he expected Irene and the others to complain.
It was obvious that the other three families had joined forces to lay a trap for him.
He had to think of a way. He could not let Daniel misunderstand the Saintess and think that she was arrogant.
Just as Dolph Flores was sweating profusely from anxiety, Daniel spoke. He let out a low laugh, his eyes dark and beautiful. âI hadnât expected the Saintess to be so thoughtful towards me, and thus requiring so many people for the dishes she prepared.â
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and turned to Irene and the others, who were in a daze from confusion, and said in a comforting tone, âI know that you canât compare to the Saintess in terms of thoughtfulness, but Iâm not picky about these things. Just let the chef prepare the three meals.â
Irene was about to cry!
She was clearly here to complain. How did it become that her feelings were inferior to Berryâs?
Lucy and the others were also shocked. They had not expected Daniel to think this way. She stammered, âDan⦠Daniel, donât you think the Saintess is too domineering?â
Daniel glanced over indifferently and asked, âCanât you cook without servants? Donât you have hands?
Youâre so thoughtless and yet falsely accuse others. I donât expect to eat the dishes you made yourself, but I donât like people like you who clearly donât want to do it yourself but still find all kinds of reasons to take credit.
âHypocrite!â
That lightly enunciated word of judgment made Lucy and the others. blush in frustration.
They wanted to explain, but they did not know how. It was indeed as Daniel had said. Even without servants, they had their own hands. Couldnât they have done it themselves?
It was already late. Daniel did not want to waste time with them. He waved his hand and said, âYou can leave. Iâm going to rest.â
Mocatieâs Maane Daiting he corners of Braedenâs mouth twitched. It was only 8 pan. and Daniel was already going to rest? The sky was not even dark yet!
Although he cursed in his heart, Braeden did not dare to show it. He could only chuckle and leave with a group of people.
After leaving the house, Dolph was in an extremely good mood. He looked at the few people opposite him who had intended to gain an advantage only to end up worse off. He chuckled and said, âDaniel is right. You guys didnât show genuine care towards him. You even wanted to sue the Saintess.
Fortunately, Daniel is smart and didnât fall for it.â âHmph!â Braeden flicked his sleeves and turned to give Lucy a command. âFollow me.â
After going somewhere with no one else around, Braeden turned around and looked at Lucy with an expression of having been let down by someone he cared about. âLucy, whatâs wrong with you recently? Why do you keep disappointing me?â
âGrandpa.â Lucy lowered her head, her eyes reddened.
Seeing her granddaughter like this, Braedenâs heart ached. He softened his tone and said in a low voice, âLucy, Lucy, things are different now. Youâre no longer the flawless girl of destiny from before.
Although those people donât talk about it openly, they must be laughing at you and Jason Sprout in their hearts.
âNow, youâre using the pretext of bringing glory to the family to shut the mouths of those stubborn old fools in the Lopez family. However, if you fail and donât get Danielâs sponsorship for the Lopez family, your status. in the family will be unstable. Even I wonât be able to protect you. âLucy, you wonât be able to take my seat anymore!â
The First Elder sighed softly.
A trace of stubbornness flashed in Lucyâs eyes. She refused to admit defeat and said, âI wonât lose.â
Braden looked at his granddaughter. âLucy, thereâs always a bigger fish in the pond. Daniel is not simple. Have you seen the changes in the Dale family? In just a few days, the vaunted Dale family had withered to this extent. What kind of person is Irene Dale? Previously, she had been a relative nobody among the younger generation, but now sheâs considered on equal footing with you. It can be seen that the Dale family is running. out of talents.
Wilsondres MBang Darling Donât let preconceptions fool you when regarding Daniel.
As for that Jason, heâs considered a big shot in the Sprout Family. Sadly, es too ruthless and arrogant.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have fallen into Berry Floresâs hands. Lucy, think carefully. Compared to Daniel, Jason isnât even worthy of carrying his shoes.â
âGrandpalâ Lucy could not stand the First Elder belittling Jason. She could not help but retort, âJason is also very outstanding.â
âOutstanding?â Braeden sneered and questioned sternly, âDo you know how much the Lopez familyâs assets add up to?â
Lucy replied, âOne billion dollars.â
âWhat about the four families combined?â
Lucy thought for a moment. âLess than five billion dollars.â
âHeh.â Braeden sneered. âThen do you know about Danielâs personal assets?â
Lucy lowered her head.
Braeden said, â90 billion dollars! Just personal assets, not including the company. This is only on the surface. No one knows how many hidden assets and powers Daniel has. Now, let me ask you, who is Jason compared to someone like Daniel?â
At Braedenâs harsh words, Lucy finally could not resist and cried, âHeâs nobody!â
She took a deep breath. âGrandpa, donât worry. Iâll definitely gain Danielâs favor.â
âGood girl, thatâs my good granddaughter.â Braeden chuckled.
In the Maple Villa, Olivia had already prepared the calming incense and. was thinking of a way to send it into Danielâs room when Ellis knocked. on the door with a troubled expression. âMiss Berry, do you have calming incense, or some similar kind of medicine, with you? Daniel has been suffering from insomnia.â
Olivia was surprised.
This timely opportunity had just fallen into her lap. She had been so lucky recently!
