Chapter 129-3
Not A Small-Town Girl
If it werenât for his friends acting swiftly to secure his position as the head of the West family, heâd have been framed and eliminated countless times by now.
"Is your brother still holding out hope?" Andrew asked knowingly, his voice laced with concern. He knew the West family well-especially the ones who thrived on manipulation. With Cameronâs blunt, straightforward nature, without his friendsâ support, he wouldâve been schemed against long ago.
"Give up? Heâs never given up. Heâs always watching me, just waiting for something to go wrong," Cameron said, his voice emotionless. From childhood to now, he couldnât even count how many "accidents" heâd survived, but he never once suspected his brother-until that one time.
Andrewâs sharp gaze turned serious. "Let us know if you need help." David chimed in, his voice low and deliberate. "If Turner becomes too much of a problem, Iâll handle it. Itâs childâs play for the Johnson family."
"Exactly. Weâve got your back."
Joshua broke the tension, smiling slyly. "By the way, my grandfatherâs 80th birthday is next month. David, why not bring Miss Darling along?"
Davidâs expression softened. "Weâll see."
The next day, Danielle entered her new classroom and quickly found a seat. To her surprise, two familiar faces were among her classmates-Emma and Celine, people she had met in Switzerland.
"Danielle, what are you looking at?" Juniper asked, noticing her distraction.
"Nothing, just some familiar faces," Danielle replied nonchalantly. "By the way, our skincare line launches today,"
Juniper said.
Danielle nodded confidently. "Itâll sell well."
Across the room, Emma noticed Danielle immediately. Her mind churned with jealousy, recalling how her Instagram post hadnât elicited any reaction from Audrey. Seeing Danielle in her class only fueled her bitterness.
Meanwhile, other classmates whispered among themselves.
"Who is she? Sheâs gorgeous."
"Her figure, her height-sheâs a total knockout."
Emma overheard the chatter and gritted her teeth.
She wished she could scratch that perfect face of Danielleâs.
