Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David) novel Chapter 185

Several cars drove out of Nathor Palace.

Joseph and Polly who could not enter Nathor Palace, watched as the cars drove past them.

Joseph was so angry that he almost fainted. He bellowed, "This useless son! He wouldn't let us in even though he is at home. Yet he locks people in Nathor Palace. What is he trying to do?"

"Honey, let's go back first. It seems that no matter what we say today, we can't get in. He doesn't even care about you, though you are his father. I'm really sad that David has become like this. It's all my fault." Polly burst into tears and threw herself into Joseph's arms.

The bodyguards at the gate of Nathor Palace were all watching. Joseph felt very embarrassed and got into the car angrily with Polly.

David paid less and less attention to Joseph. Today David did not let him into his house, let alone come out to greet him in person. This made Joseph very humiliated.

Joseph thought, 'Since David is so heartless, he shouldn't blame me for being ruthless.'

*****

The Locke family in Soufield.

When Cheryl brought Janice who had lost all four limbs and was covered with blood back, even Mr. Locke, who had seen a lot in his lifetime, was shocked. He felt that David was extremely ruthless.

Because of a woman, David didn't show any respect to the Locke family. Knowing that the Marker and the Locke families were on good terms, he still treated Janice so cruelly. However, the reason why David was so powerful before was because he had no weaknesses. Now that he has a weakness, it would be good to sacrifice one or two people to test it out.

Tim had been trying his best to arrange a marriage between Cheryl and David but David wasn't interested. Since a marriage alliance wasn't possible, David should be eliminated. The Charrington family had been in power for a long time. It was time for them to step down.

"What happened to my wife? How did she get hurt like this? David Charrington! I'm going to kill you." When Ian saw his wife's injuries, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Tim's eyes flickered slyly as he took a sip of coffee. Then he said slowly, "David has gone a little too far this time, hurting someone like this over a small matter. Find the best doctor to treat Janice quickly.

"Ian, don't say anything rash. You will be subdued by his secret guards before you even get to him. You have to keep a low profile and find the best opportunity to take revenge."

Ian was so angry that the veins on his forehead were bulging. He thought about what Tim said and felt that it made sense. He had gotten to where he was today by being cautious, but he had to avenge his wife. David had gone too far this time. Now, Ian was still too weak to compete with David. He had to lie low and wait for the opportunity.

"Thank you for reminding me, Tim. I was too impulsive just now and spoke without thinking. I'll go and accompany Janice now. Please excuse me," Ian said.

"Please go quickly."

Cheryl was standing by the side, not daring to speak at all. She knew she shouldn't have come. Not to mention that she didn't get close to David, and now Janice was seriously injured. The reason why she was favored among the children in the Locke family was that Tim had hoped that her relationship with David could go further.

Now she was very afraid that her grandfather would ask her questions. It was all Danielle's fault. Danielle had nothing to do every day but to pester David. Any good opportunity for Cheryl to get close to David was ruined.

She originally wanted to take advantage of the project cooperation between the Locke and Charrington families to have more opportunities to get close to David, but he wasn't interested at all. Cheryl felt very aggrieved and angry about how she was treated at Nathor Palace.

Cheryl thought, 'You were the one who provoked me first, so don't blame me.'

"Nina, you are insulting the entire Locke family! Although our Locke family is not as powerful as the Charrington family, it is the second most powerful family in Soufield. How can you say that the children of our Locke family are not worthy of the Charrington family? Don't you think you are turning against our family by saying things like that?

"Grandpa, you heard it with your own ears. She dared to look down on our family in front of you. I can't imagine what she says behind your back! On the surface, she is mocking me. But actually, she is mocking the whole family, as if we're not even worthy of being servants to the Charrington family."

Cheryl put on a sincere look and glanced at Nina disappointingly.

Tim frowned. When he was young, he and Logan were business rivals. They had since fought for half their lives. Logan had nurtured David into a business prodigy while none of Tim's children could hold a candle to David.

This was also something that Tim had been thinking about all these years and had not completely let go of. Now that it was brought up, it touched a nerve. Tim had to become more powerful than the Charrington family and find a suitable heir before he died.

Nina listened to Cheryl's words. She was blatantly distorting the facts and blaming her. Cheryl wanted to instigate her grandfather to punish Nina and not let her get her way.

"Grandpa, I have been wronged. You are the wisest person in our family. You have just heard what Cheryl said. She has twisted the facts. I just don't want her to go after David as he has a fiancée. That would damage the reputation you have worked so hard to build for our family.

"I think Cheryl has always dreamed of marrying into the Charrington family. In her heart, she despises our family. That's why she said what was on her mind in a moment of desperation!”

Nina's words came out of her mouth like a machine gun. Previously, no matter what Cheryl said, Nina had been indifferent. Since her return this time, she talked back to Cheryl. Cheryl had really underestimated Nina. Furthermore, she heard that Nina was also planning to join the Locke Group recently. Cheryl wondered if Nina was planning to step on her to climb up the corporate ladder. In Cheryl's opinion, Nina wasn't worthy.
