Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David) novel Chapter 145

"Danielle, I heard your phone kept ringing and thought it was something urgent. So I kindly answered it for you. I didn't expect to be misunderstood by your boyfriend," June said softly, her tone aggrieved.

"I don't have anything urgent. Don't answer my phone again," Danielle said coldly.

"I see. It was my good intentions that backfired." June lowered her head, her eyes full of jealousy. 'Why does Danielle have such a good family? A casual gift from her worth tens of thousands of dollars. Even her boyfriend is so handsome. It's so unfair,' she thought.

Danielle picked up her phone and found that the call was still connected.

"I was taking a shower," she said on the phone.

"I heard you exchanged contact information with many men?" David's tone was jealous.

'How could those boys on campus be as charming as me? How dare they seduce Danielle? They are overconfident. But what if Danielle likes them?' he thought.

David looked down at his black suit. The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became.

Danielle was amused by his jealousy. "I can feel your jealousy," she said.

"Yes, I am jealous. Just coax me." David admitted it frankly and was acting coquettishly.

Danielle was a little surprised. He even learned to act coquettishly. "Okay, I will coax you. I didn't exchange contact information with them. How can they compare to you? You're mature, steady, handsome, and full of knowledge. You're the best!"

Although he knew that Danielle was coaxing him, he was amused by her lovely words. He said, "My darling, am I so outstanding in your heart?"

'You wanted me to coax you,' she thought. "Yeah, so don't be jealous," she said.

"Is Elliot's mission this time related to Scorpion?" David stopped teasing her, knowing that she would get shy soon.

"Yes, a few days ago Scorpion placed an order on Black Web, hiring many assassins to kill Elliot. Yesterday's meeting in the Westland was also Scorpion's trap. He never intended to make a deal.

"I haven't been able to reach Elliot these days. Yesterday I located the assassin and realized that Elliot must be carrying out a mission there. I immediately sent people over, but it was still a step too late. Scorpion escaped."

Fortunately, she founded the Black Web. Fortunately, she located the assassins in time. Otherwise, Elliot would have been killed.

"Be good and stay safe at college. I'll find Scorpion and bring him to Elliot." David just wanted her to be safe and happy, not troubled by such trivial matters.

"Okay," Danielle responded obediently.

*****

In Charrington Group CEO's Office.

David pressed the intercom. "Come to my office."

Less than one minute later, someone knocked on the office door.

"Come in," David said.

Patrick asked expectantly, "Mr. Charrington, what do you need me to do?"

"Find out where Scorpion is and bring him to me," David said softly.

"Did the Scorpion offend you?" Patrick asked. 'Scorpion is the second in command of a border drug trafficking group. Why does David want to catch him?' he thought.

"Yes," David said.

"I don't like them. Destroy them then. They don't deserve to exist." Killing such a great drug lord whom everyone feared was easily said by David.

"No problem." Patrick's eyes lit up when he received the order.

Walking to the door, he turned around and asked, "Mr. Charrington, do you want to leave anyone alive?" If not, he could just strafe them from the air and blow them up.

'Johan is getting more and more foolish. Why is he not careful about doing things?' Geoffrey thought.

"Johan, did I ask you to do this?" Geoffrey said with a cold face. Only by sacrificing Johan can Geoffrey save himself.

Johan broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that Geoffrey was going to sacrifice him to protect himself. Geoffrey didn't expect Johan to be so clueless.

"I did it alone, in Geoffrey's name. It has nothing to do with others. I just wanted to do it for the company's good and save the company's money," Johan said.

"Our Charrington Group is not short of that amount of money. Johan, everyone knows what you are thinking. You are harming the company's image and lining your own pockets at the expense of the company. Yet you said it so righteously." Edward had long disliked Johan, who, relying on his kinship with Geoffrey, had been throwing his weight around in the company.

"Edward, your accusation is a bit too harsh. I have been working diligently for the company all these years. I may not have made great contributions, but I have certainly put in great effort." Johan still tried to reason with these shareholders.

David had long wanted to kick Johan out of the company. This time, Johan had handed him the perfect excuse, and David would not let him off easily.

"You call this working diligently? And talking about contributions? What have you achieved in the years you've been with the company? How dare you speak so shamelessly," David said.

"David, I suggest we fire Johan immediately as a warning to others who might have ulterior motives." Edward showed no mercy to Johan.

At this point, even Geoffrey did not dare to speak for Johan, fearing that he might be implicated.

"What do the rest of you think?" David asked, glancing at the people in the conference room.

"I agree with Edward's suggestion."

"I also agree with Edward's proposal."

"Since everyone agrees, I declare that the decision to fire Johan is approved," David announced.

"Now let's talk about you, Geoffrey."
