    “In the future, you can’t show up in any ce with me


    around," Danielle said lightly.


    It seemed that Danielle had set the


    simplest cartition She was now


    David’s fian é€e. The banquets she ~


    would attend in the future would.be


    high-ss. If she did not go to such


    events, she would not be able to


    e friends with connections.


    ----


    Cheryl answered without thi 1g, "That is not going to


    happen. Change your condition."


    “Now you are the one who is asking me for a favor. I’m not


    the one begging you,” Danielle scoffed.


    “Okay, I promise you." Cheryl gritted her teeth and agreed.


    A bodyguard dragged Janice into the living room and threw


    her at Cheryl’s feet. Her condition was frightening to look


    at. Her limbs were gone, her body was covered in knife


    wounds, and she was hardly breathing.


    Danielle was stunned for a while. It was a very ruthless


    assault but Danielle was not a saint, and she didn’t


    sympathize with Janice.


    On the contrary, Cheryl, who had never seen such a bloody


    scene, was so frightened that her hand that was holding


    the coffee cup started trembling.


    ----


    “If you speak without using your brain the next time, you


    will be dead," David said coldly. "You can leave now."


    Cheryl was a little hurt by David’s indifference. Then she


    nced at him and instructed the bodyguard to carry


    Janice out.


    Upon seeing Janice’s sorry state, Xavier’s fear of David


    became more intense. He kept moving closer to Jaden as if


    Jaden would provide him with a sense of security.


    Xavier felt it was really necessary to have a meeting with


    his family so that he could convince them that it wasn’t a


    good idea for Danielle to be engaged to David. David was


    just too dangerous.


    ----


    Xavier had alsqhheard some rumors


    about Davide was ruthless, and


    cruel, andhad no qualms about =~


    killing arene But every time David


    went ta their house, he was sogy


    easygoing that Xavier felt that’the


    rungors were fake. Now it seemed


    that the rumors were tru


    ----


    Jaden noticed Xavier’s movements and wanted tough.


    Xavier was really protected by the Darling family like a


    baby. He was so terrified by this incident. What would


    happen if he saw something more cruel in the future?


    But Jaden’s conscience got the better of him, and he


    patted Xavier on the backfortingly.
