Chapter 183-3
Not A Small-Town Girl

"Oh, youâre still here? What do you want?â David threw a
glance at Cheryl and then his gaze stopped at Danielle.
Cheryl stared at David in disbelief. How could he totally
ignore her? But she hadnât forgotten why she was here.
âMr. Charrington, Iâm here today to ask a favor. For my
sake, would you please let Mrs. Marker go?"
Danielle had gotten cream on her face from the dessert,
and David gently wiped it away for her before letting out a
cold laugh. "For your sake?"
----
Cheryl felt like she had been slapped in the face as she felt
extremely humiliated. "The Marker and Locke families are
on good terms. Could you for the sake of the Locke family,
be merciful and let Mrs. Marker go?"
âItâs not up to me." David fiddled with Danielleâs hand. His
action was obvious. Cheryl had asked the wrong person.
David indicated that Cheryl should ask Danielle. Cheryl
was hurt that David had treated her like that though he
didnât bother about the Locke family.
âWhat would it take for Miss Darling to let Mrs. Marker go?"
Cheryl asked with a smile, suppressing her anger.
Danielle yawned, feeling satisfied. "I havenât thought about
it yet.â
----
âMiss Darling, we are all women. Why are you making
things difficult for others? As long as you say what you
want, Iâll try my best to satisfy your needs.â
Danielleâs attitude had already made Cheryl impatient. She
was so presumptuous as she had Davidâs backing. Cheryl
tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.
âDidnât someone make things difficult for me first? Why are
you acting like a good person now?" Cheryl clearly looked
like she couldnât wait to strangle Danielle to death, yet she
still had to fake a smile.

Cheryl didnât expect Danielle to be so

she suppgessed her anger, "Why &
donât youet Mrs. Marker apologize
to yon person? Miss Darling,you

everyone because of sucf a trivial
matter!â

Danielle thought, âHere we go again with this hypocritical
talk. If I donât set Mrs. Marker free, it makes me look petty.
Cheryl Locke has all her lines planned out.â
"Mrs. Marker should be grateful that
she was broyght to Nathor Palace. If
she had fallen into my hands, I
wouldnât Jét her off so easily. Shellâ
suffer even more." Danielle said >
