The socialite understood Danielle’s implication that she
was not worthy of her design. She was so angry that she
wanted to tear the woman in front of her apart, but she still
had some sense in front of the Charrington family.
“Now that I think about it, I don’t really like your designs
that much. They’re quite boring.”
Upon hearing this, Danielle took out her phone and dialed
L.
"It’s me. cklist Mrs. Lindstrom from Grace Group,"
Danielle ordered domineeringly and hung up the phone.
Within a minute, Fiona received the message that she had
been cklisted by Grace Group. The whole process took
less than two minutes.
----
Fona was furious. Everyone in their circle loved Grace
Group’s products. They were practically a status symbol for
them. If she was cklisted, she couldn’t possibly fit in with
them anymore.
“How dare you cklist me! Do you know how much I
spend at Grace Group every year? And you just cklist
me?”
"You’re not even in the top five spenders in Aleria. Why
would I care about your paltry sum? Don’t think too highly
of yourself." Danielle scoffed coldly.
Fiona’s face flushed red with anger. She straightened her
back and said, "Do you know who I am? How dare you
speak to me like that? When you marry into the
Charrington family, you’ll have to call me Aunt. I’m your
future mother-inw’s elder sister."
----
Usually, her younger sister didn’t allow her to use her
position in the Charrington family so tantly, but today,
she was so angry with Danielle that she didn’t care
anymore.
Sebastian, who was standing in the corner, frowned in
disapproval, thinking that his aunt really had no brains. His
grandparents and David were all present, yet she dared to
use his mother’s name like that.
----
Others might rot know, but he was
well aware ofthis family’s standing in
the Charriggton family. If they were~
truly favéted, it wouldn’t be a big”
deal t “Say such things. But the”
pointwas, that saying this wauid
onty: harm them. She truly had no
brains.
----
Danielle didn’t say anything this time. After all, she and
David had not married yet, so it wasn’t appropriate to
directly discuss his family affairs.
"What is Polly,even worth? A
mistress wh@sose to power through
an illegitimate child, does she S
deserve it? My family is just giving?
her andthe bastard child a meal
And new you’re using her name to
threaten my fiancée? If youcdon’t
want to live, I can send yo straight
to hell."
----
David’s gaze was as sharp as a knife, publicly confirming
Polly’s identity without sparing her any dignity.
Standing in the corner, Sebastian’s face turned ashen, his
eyes bloodshot as he heard Li Mouting’s words. How dare
he? Li Mouting, I will make you pay for this.
Logan and Tara also looked grim. Families of their status
cared deeply about their image, and now this woman was
directly stepping on their eldest grandson’s biggest nerve in
public.
----
As soon as David finished speaking,
arge numbér of bodyguards in
ck pouréd into the banquet hall —
and escartéd Fiona out. At this tide,
Fiona’s-face turned pale with fright.
Her farhily had always told he? to
offarid anyone, especially David. He
was a devil who wouldn’t hesitate to
kill.
----
If not for this, Polly would not have spent decades in the
Charrington family without ever being truly recognized. At
that moment, she was being dragged by the men in ck,
scared and panicked.
Seeing his wife being dragged away by the bodyguard,
Conrad stood up in anger. His family still counted on
Fiona’s family. If something happened to Fiona, her family
would definitely me him.
“Mr. Charrington, it’s my fault for not disciplining her
properly. I will apologize to you on her behalf. I hope you
can show mercy and let her go." Conrad bowed deeply to
David.
He was already in his forties. It was very embarrassing for
him to apologize to a junior. David remained silent for a
long time, not even raising his head. There was no such
thing as seniority in the face of power.
----
David nced at the corner and said coldly, "What if I don’t
want to show you any mercy?"
“Mr. Charrington, it’s all Fiona’s fault. I’ll let her apologize to
Miss Darling. Please be generous. Today is Mr. Barnes’s
birthday. Even if you don’t show us any courtesy, at least
show some respect for Mr. Barnes.”
Conrad truly had no choice but to invoke Giancarlo, hoping
that David would spare him for his sake. If he were really
taken away, he didn’t know whether he could stille out
alive.
“Oh, are you threatening me?" David smirked.
