"You better know it," Vivian replied, satisfied.


    Danielle couldn’t help but blush at all the praise from her parents. Her cheeks turned pink, and she suddenly felt a little shy under their loving gaze.


    Audrey stood at the top of the stairs, listening to her parents and Josephvish praise on Danielle. A sharp wave of jealousy washed over her, and she had to fight the urge to storm down and rip Danielle apart right then and there.


    Why did Danielle get to intern at Darling Group, having to tter Joseph and beg for his approval, while Audrey got nothing?


    Danielle hadn’t done a single thing to deserve such treatment. Their father had casually allowed Danielle to pick any subsidiary she wanted, while Audrey was treated like just another employee at thepany. And Joseph? He didn’t treat her any differently from anyone else. It was like she wasn’t even his sister.


    Her eyes welled up as she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails bit into her palms.


    The meal in the dining room hade to an end.


    "Danielle, let’s go to the study," Joseph said, sensing that his sister had something important to talk about.


    "Why don’t you and Mom and Dade too?"


    Danielle suggested. She thought it would be better if her parents knew what was going on, especially since the Dixon family was likely going toe knocking afterward. It’d be better for everyone if they were prepared.


    "Alright," Joseph agreed.


    Audrey overheard their ns and quickly slipped away to hide. In the study, Joseph, Howard, and Vivian sat down, wondering what Danielle had to say.


    "Joseph, about the banquet, the investigation is over. It turns out Sienna was involved in what happened," Danielle began, her voice steady but serious.


    "What investigation? What happened with Sienna?" Vivian asked, her brow furrowing in confusion. She didn’t understand what Danielle meant.


    "At the banquet that year, Joseph was drugged... the next morning, he woke up to find himself with Sienna. But there’s more to the story than that," Danielle exined, treading carefully around what was obviously a personal matter for Joseph.


    "So, that’s why you suddenly started seeing that girl from the Dixon family?" Vivian asked, still piecing things together.


    "Danielle, what do you mean by ’moreplicated’? Is someone trying to hurt Joseph?" Howard and Vivian exchanged puzzled nces.
