Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David) novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118

Andrew raised his eyebrows slightly and a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes. "We have to pay attention to the movements of the Prosper Group during this period of time and let it scram back to where it came from."

"It’s very likely that the Prosper Group was the one who poisoned us. They wanted to poison us to death to support new families," Jaden said indifferently as if he wasn’t the one who was poisoned.

"This poison is called Scar Orchid. It’s a powdered substance that is colorless and tasteless. The main characteristic of this poison isn’t physical pain, but rather, it primarily causes hallucinations. In severe cases, the affected individual may experience numerous hallucinatory scenes in their mind, which could lead to suicide at any time. After death, even forensic experts cannot detect this poison because it metabolizes and leaves the body.

"Scar Orchid can’t be found on the market at all, and it’s even hard to find on the black market," Danielle said slowly.

She suspected that this poison came from the laboratory of the Wulf Clan. ’But how did the Wulf Clan and the Shadow Domain get together? Or has the Wulf Clan been nurtured by the Shadow Domain from the beginning?’

When the few of them heard Danielle say that, they felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, the poison was cured.

"Then it really might be the Prosper Group’s doing." Joshua’s rage was burning. ’Since they dared to poison me, I would definitely kill them when I had the chance.

Danielle asked, "Did you find out anything from the person who poisoned you?" These big families had all been poisoned. Fortunately, David was overseas at that time. Otherwise, he might have been poisoned too.

Now that the poisoners had been exposed, the news would definitely spread. The people behind this would surely become restless, and they might even take action again.

"Each of our three families found that the poisoners were maids who had been with us for several years. Only the Barnes family hasn’t identified anyone yet. These maids were professionally trained, very skilled, and tight-lipped. They didn’t say anything before we dealt with them," Cameron said, clearly angered. "To think that they were hiding right under my nose, and I detected nothing.

"I’ll go back and find out who poisoned me. I don’t believe that I won’t be able to get anything out of him." Joshua was furious.

"When you catch the person, you have to pay more attention. There’s poison in their mouths," Jaden reminded Joshua because he was experienced.

Hearing Jaden mention that the poison was hidden in the mouth caught Danielle’s attention. Such a tactic was not commonly used by ordinary organizations; hiding poison in the mouth was intended to prevent captives from revealing secrets under severe interrogation.

"Mr. Barnes, if you capture someone and can’t get anything out of them during questioning, feel free to contact me," Danielle offered.

Cameron thought, ’That’s right. Didn’t Xavier say that Danielle could hypnotize? If that was the case, it would save him a lot of trouble.

He smiled and said, "Sure, I’ll contact you when I catch him. Miss Darling, let’s add each other on WhatsApp."

Danielle had just taken out her phone and was about to add him on WhatsApp when her phone was snatched away. "Contact me," David said unhappily.

"No way, David. You’re so possessive. You can’t even let Miss Darling add me on WhatsApp. Alright, whatever you say," said Cameron. ’How did this man in love become so petty? I won’t be like this in the future.’

Danielle put away her phone helplessly and smiled. "Alright, you can tell David when you catch the person." After all, she had to give her boyfriend the sense of security he deserved.

The few of them chatted for a while, and the meal was almost done. Danielle had to go back and prepare the things she needed to bring for school tomorrow. She had not done anything yet!

When she turned around, she saw Xavier still drinking. His eyes were narrowed and his face was red from drinking. He looked like he was drunk. She could not help but hold her forehead. ’Is it really that delicious?’

"I can see that his alcohol tolerance is really mediocre!" said Danielle.

Xavier pulled for a long time, but the one he pulled still didn’t move. "Danielle, let’s go!"

"You haven’t had enough, huh? Even so, you have to come home with me. You two aren’t married yet; it’s not good for you to live together. It’ll affect your reputation!" Xavier, feeling dizzy and the world spinning around him, tried to lead Danielle away, but she wouldn’t budge. Realizing she wanted to stay, he began earnestly pleading with her to reconsider.

So this was what it meant to be drunk. Danielle really did not want Xavier to embarrass himself. She was afraid that he would feel so ashamed as soon as he sobered up, so she reminded him, "Xavier..."

"Danielle, did David seduce you so that you can’t bear to leave? He wants to lead you astray. Hurry up and go back with me. I don’t want to have a little nephew before you graduate." When Xavier heard that Danielle wanted to defend David, he held her tightly, afraid that he wouldn’t be able to hold her back and not go home with him.

Danielle blushed at his Xavier’s words. ’He only drank a few glasses. How could he be so drunk? Not only did he recognize the wrong person, but he also said some bold words...’

David looked at Xavier speechlessly. ’How could he even say that I led Danielle astray? He must be stupid from filming in the entertainment industry.’

The remaining three thought, ’The drunk Xavier is quite interesting. I have to force him to drink more in the future...

"Xavier, do you want to see where I am?" said Danielle. She thought, ’I shouldn’t have brought Xavier here today. After he sobers up, he’ll definitely feel embarrassed.’

Xavier was so dizzy that he could not even stand steadily. His eyes were half-closed. "Danielle, don’t move first. I see several of your shadows." Danielle was speechless.
