Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David) novel Chapter 186

Cheryl continued, "I'm also trying to help Grandpa to make our family stronger. How come it sounds so unpleasant when you say it? Nina, are you really doing this for the family, or are you just doing it for yourself?"

If a family wanted its name to be remembered forever, there must be harmony in the family and prosperity. The last thing Tim wanted to see was his children quarreling. Now it was terrible as his two granddaughters were arguing in front of him.

"Okay, stop quarreling. Just go back to your rooms and reflect."

Tim went upstairs, with the help of the housekeeper. He was unable to hide his disappointment.

Cheryl and Nina didn't dare to quarrel anymore seeing that Tim was angry. So they both chose to shut up obediently.

On the other side.

Danielle, David, and their friends arrived at the resort.

The person in charge of the resort knew that David was coming today. He had been waiting at the gate for a long time. Seeing several luxury cars driving in slowly, the person in charge hurried forward to help open the door.

"Greetings! Mr. Charrington," The person in charge greeted David and his entourage eagerly.

Hillside Resort was a project that the Charrington Group decided to invest in by a unanimous vote. The resort was currently in its trial operational phase. This multi-billion dollar resort encompassed a wide range of facilities, including hotels, leisure activities, entertainment, and more.

David and his friends boarded the sightseeing car and enjoyed the scenery along the way. They occasionally disembarked to engage in activities that piqued their interest. The resort manager diligently provided them with detailed introductions.

"This place is amazing. I should have invested in this project," Andrew said, feeling a little regret.

"You should focus on dealing with your vicious stepmother first. To be honest, I'm really worried that I'll wake up one day to find that I've lost a dear friend."

"Joshua, mind your words." Cameron stared at him reproachfully. Joshua was spoiled by his father and usually spoke tactlessly.

Andrew laughed casually and said, "Actually Joshua has a point." However, there was no smile in his beautiful eyes.

It was not surprising that Joshua had his concerns. Andrew's life experience was both similar to and different from David's. While David had grandparents who doted on him, Andrew's grandparents didn't care about him at all. His mother was admitted to a mental hospital, and his father married a woman who had a son. He was of the same age as Andrew.

Over the years, Andrew had met with countless incidents that nearly claimed his life. There were car accidents and food poisoning, all orchestrated by that two-faced stepmother.

Andrew's grandfather, fearing that he might have inherited his mother's genes, isolated him from the Graham family business. On the surface, he was a glamorous and rich young man, but he was basically ignored by his family. Andrew then decided to establish his own path, venturing into the entertainment industry and achieving success. Fortunately, with the support of his close friends, the Graham family didn't create more problems for Andrew.

Joshua also realized that he hadn't been sensitive when he spoke. He was just worried. "Andrew, I didn't mean what I said. I'm just worried about you. You've been through so much because of that evil woman over the years."

Since Danielle came to Soufield, she had learned about the stories of the wealthy families in Soufield, but there were always some things that she couldn't understand completely. She glanced at David beside her with some sympathy. She figured that Polly must have tried to harm him too.

David seemed to sense Danielle's gaze and squeezed her hand gently.

"Andrew, Michael has taken over as CEO of the Graham Group. If you say the word, the rest of us can pull him down any time," Jaden, who was sitting on the side, said lightly.

In recent years, Andrew seemed to be spending his days in the entertainment industry, drinking and changing girlfriends regularly, but his friends knew it was all a facade.

"I never took the Graham Group seriously." Andrew took out a cigarette and was about to light it when he heard Danielle say, "Maybe I can cure your mother."

"Do you like horseback riding?" David asked Danielle.

Danielle's eyes lit up. Like Cameron, she was also thinking about the fiery horses. One of them had already taken action, while the other was still observing.

"Yes," Danielle answered.

David smiled. It was rare that Danielle liked something. He thought that when they returned home, he would build a racecourse in Nathor Palace so that Danielle could come to see or ride the horses. Of course, David had something else in mind.

"I like that too. The horses I rode in the production crew were all props. I also want to ride the wildest horse," Xavier said.

The resort manager thought, 'What I really meant was that you guys could choose gentler horses. Why are you all going for the fiery ones? What if you fall? I shouldn't have mentioned anything to them just now. It was so redundant...'

"Mr. Charrington, those horses have a bit of a temper. Before anyone got close…” Before the resort manager could finish speaking, everyone heard a howl.

Just now, Cameron was very confident that he could tame the most fiery horse. He was about to appease the horse and communicate with it when it was about to kick him.

If Cameron hadn't dodged in time, he would have been kicked by the horse. It was Xavier who ran over and got into trouble.

Cameron suddenly stepped back crazily. Xavier was running forward so fast that the two bumped into each other. Cameron was hit on the back and did not hurt himself. But Xavier was hit in the face, and his nose started to bleed.

"Oh my god… My nose is bleeding. Am I disfigured? I rely on my face to make a living. Thankfully I don't have any work done on my face. I'm finished...really finished."

Xavier kept crying as he covered his bleeding nose.
