“Mrs. Darling has been very kind to me," Judy said. "I will
definitely take good care of her. Miss Darling, don’t worry.” It
was within Judy’s expectation that Vivian would speak up for
her, but Danielle’s inexplicable words made her feel a little
uneasy.
Danielle lowered her head to eat after she finished speaking,
not saying anything more to Judy.

"Danielle, I won’t let those
ssmates who bullied you
yesterday off the hook,"Howard ~
said. "Yow are the apple of our &
family’s‘eye, and no one can bully
you. 8S Howard thought of these
peaple scolding his daughtet like
this, he got so angry that he wished
he could get rid of them.

“Mom, Dad, I didn’t take to heart what they said," Danielle said.
She wasn’t very good atforting people, but she didn’t want
her parents to feel too self-reproachful.
“Your dad and I didn’t expect these people to be so vicious and
say such things," Vivian said with self-reproach. "It’s our fault for
not protecting you. We’ll definitely be more careful from now
on.

"Mom, Dad, yey don’t have to me
yourselves. Ii really fine. After
dinner, Ag ing to David’s ce. ~
Those péople are still locked up in
NathoxPce." She was really@fraid
thatavid would immediately get rid
oftthem in a moment of &
digsatisfaction.

Vivian and Howard recalled how David acted yesterday.
Admittedly, they were also a little worried. "Okay, go ahead,"
they said.
At Nathor Pce, Nathan walked in hurriedly and said, "Mr.
Charrington, the Stuart family is making moves, but the Darling
family has already taken action."
“Then help the Darling family deal the Stuart family another
blow," David said.
He sat on the sofa with a cup of coffee, his narrow eyes slightly
narrowed. There was a sense of lingering gloom in his gaze.
Outside the window, dark clouds gathered as lightning shed
and thunder roared. At this moment, David’s handsome face
was like the weather. There was a depressing sense of an
impending storm.
----
Nathan instantly understood that the Stuart family was clueless,
daring to provoke something extremely sensitive to their boss.
“Got it," he said. "Mr. Charrington, is this year’s assessment of
Demonic Hall still taking ce on the deserted ind?”
David’s attractive eyes revealed nothing of his thoughts, and he
said in a cold voice, "Yes, I will go there myself this year."
----
Nathan didn’t expect that David wanted to go in person for the
assessment of Demonic Hall. Charrington Group might be
impressive, butpared to their boss’s other industries, it
could only be said that Charrington Group was holding their
boss back.
“Okay, I’ll make arrangements,” Nathan said.
----
This year was going to be
interesting. Qemonic Hall’s annual
assessmentwas arge-scale .
battle, ans everyone was preparing)
for it, including David. Althoughhis
combat skills were inferior tothem,
he still had to go andpege in the
assessment. Moreover, the people
at Demonic Hall only rec6gnized
David.
----
Of course, those who could stay at Demonic Hall were the best
of the best. Even the weakest among them could take down an
entire group in an instant.
“How’s the situation on Patrick’s end?" David asked coldly.
“It’s all been dealt with," Nathan said. "They’re on their way
back, but on the way, they ran into another group trying to take
someone. The two sides fought, and both suffered injuries of
varying degrees.
“The people they sent were all highly skilled, and their objective
was clear. They were after Scorpion, who has made quite a few
enemies."
‘No wonder he’s a major drug lord,’ Nathan thought. ‘He really
has a lot of enemies.’ As he reported, he reflected.
----
David tapped on the sofa, remaining silent for a long while.
Nathan was unsure what his boss was thinking. He thought, ‘But
Mr. Charrington cares too much about Danielle. Wiping out an
entire drug trafficking group over a disagreement involves the
interests of many people, and it’s not a good sign.
‘Mr. Charrington has countless enemies, both in the open and
hidden, all aiming for his life. Emotionally, I hope Mr.
Charrington can find happiness, but rationally, I know Mr.
Charrington can’t afford to have any weaknesses.’
Nathan looked at David with a troubled expression, hesitant to
speak.
“What do you want to say?" David asked, ncing at Nathan
with eyes that were glinting with coldness.
Nathan bit the bullet and said, "Mr. Charrington, I’m just worried.
You care too much about Miss Darling, and this could be
your weakness. Those people might shift their focus onto her
instead."
