    Polly wore delicate makeup and high-end jewelry. Even though


    she was forty years old, her face didn’t have a single wrinkle.


    Her skin was well-maintained, and she had a delicate


    appearance.


    "Logan, Tara, Geoffrey is just feeling


    a little wronged, and that’s why he


    came to youtoin," Polly said.


    "Don’t take it seriously. I understan:


    why David won’t let Sebastian join


    thepany. Sebastian just wants


    to besloser to his brother and help


    himshare the workload. Sifite


    Sébastian joining thepany


    upsets David, I won’t agree to let him


    join. Sebastian can make a living


    anywhere.


    ----


    “David has a deep misunderstanding of our family of three, so I


    don’t want him to have any more misunderstandings. Sebastian


    never intends topete with David for anything." Polly spoke


    softly, forcing a smile.


    Her words shifted all the me onto


    David. She algo implied that David


    couldn’t talerate his family, yet shes


    pretendédto be considerate of hiny


    ande aphasized their family of


    threesDanielle wanted to apptaud,


    thinking, ‘She is truly a skilled angelic


    bifth.


    ----


    Danielle held David’s hand and could feel the coldness


    emanating from him. She squeezed his hand.


    As if sensing Danielle’s unease, David curled his lips into a faint


    smile. Holding her hand, he led her toward the living room.


    Picking up where Polly left off, Sebastian said, "That’s right.


    Grandpa, Grandma, Dad and I just want to help David share


    some of the work. We can’t bear to see him working so hard for


    thepany. I won’tpete with David for anything.”


    “You guys are worthy of helping me share the work?" David said


    with a cold expression as he held Danielle’s hand and walked


    in. "Don’t you know your worth?"


    When Logan and Tara saw Danielle, their initially grim


    expressions instantly brightened. "Danielle, you’re here!" Tara


    said. "Every day, I’ve been asking this rascal to bring you over,


    but he keeps refusing."


    “Tara, I’ve really been quite busytely," Danielle replied


    sweetly.


    “My dear Danielle, I’ve asked the kitchen staff to make a lot of


    your favorite dishes." Tara kept holding Danielle’s hand, her


    fondness for her evident.


    ----


    Danielle had cured Logan and Tara. Calling her their lifesaver


    wouldn’t be an exaggeration.


    David had initiallye toin, asking Logan to rein in


    David, but unexpectedly, Logan and Tarapletely ignored


    their family of three as soon as Danielle arrived.


    “You are David’s girlfriend, right?" Polly said with a proper smile


    as she looked at Danielle. "You’re so beautiful. No wonder


    David has a thing for you. Which family are you from?"


    What Polly said was simply a subtle insinuation that David liked


    Danielle for her looks. In the short time since arriving in


    Soufield, she encountered one angelic bitch after another. "Tara,


    who is this old woman?" Danielle asked.


    ----


    As soon as Danielle spoke, Polly’s expression changed. She


    wanted to fly into a rage but had to hold back, so her face kept


    shifting expressions like a chameleon.


    "She is the second wife of David’s father," Tara said, not daring


    to say "stepmother" for fear that David would be upset.


    Covering her mouth with a look of disbelief, Danielle said, "Huh?


    No way. No way. Doesn’t that mean the mistress has


    sessfully be the wife? Oh my, I despise mistresses who


    break up families. How immoral!"


    ----


    "What are you talking about?" Polly


    said. "Do you have any manners? I


    am Geoffrey’￠ Jegally wedded wife."


    Polly hated‘itwhen people brought


    this up.the past, those circles of


    wealtny wives despised and looked


    dowrsdpon her. It was only in-kecent


    yeas that she had entered those


    citcles, but those wealthywives still


    looked down upon her. Now that


    David was the head of the family,


    those wealthy wives still mocked her


    openly and secretly.


    ----


    ‘Now, this ill-mannered young girl dares to mock me,’ Polly


    thought. ’She hasn’t even married into the Charrington family,


    yet she dares to go against me. I really need to teach her a


    lesson."


    Danielle looked at Polly in shock and said, "Isn’t Sebastian only


    one year younger than David? I remember David saying that he


    was five when his mother passed away. David’s parents weren’t


    divorced at that time, right? Oh my god. It can’t be, right?"
