Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David) novel Chapter 188

Danielle glanced at the time. It was getting late. She nodded and said, "Okay."

"I'll go with you tomorrow. I don't have any appointments." Xavier chimed in. He turned to comfort their parents. "Mom, Dad, Matthew has handled similar cases before, and he's always been fine. Go get some rest."

"Have you two eaten?" Vivian asked with concern. "The chef made some snacks for supper. Go have some."

Danielle and Xavier exchanged glances. They were already full from dinner and didn't want to eat anymore. They went back to their rooms quickly.

After going into her room, Danielle took a shower.

She had promised Andrew that she would help treat his mother, and he had already sent her mother's medical records to her email.

Danielle frowned slightly after a quick look at the records. She would need to see Andrew's mother in person for a proper diagnosis.

At Nathor Palace.

"Boss, there's a problem with the overseas project. He wants to meet with you in person."

David sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and exhaled a puff of smoke. His handsome features appeared different under the lingering smoke. He spoke in a leisurely tone, "He never intended to talk."

"Ferro is cunning and never does anything that doesn't benefit him. He wants you to go over there this time. Maybe it is a setup." Nathan analyzed.

"Boss, Geoffrey and Polly went to the Charrington Manor early this morning to ask for help from your grandparents. They wanted your grandparents to ask you to release Fiona, but they refused to help."

"They still don't know their place." David pressed his cigarette into the ashtray.

"Polly has been scheming all these years for the benefit of the Dixon family. Previously, her daughter was going to be engaged to Jared Sheen, but for some unknown reason, there's no news now. We can use this opportunity to teach them a lesson," Nathan said.

David did not reply. These matters had nothing to do with him, nor did they interest him.

The next day.

The Darling family had been worried about Matthew. Hence, they went downstairs early in the morning. Even Xavier, who usually had difficulty getting up in the morning, got up early.

Danielle and the others hopped into a commercial vehicle. Although the place was a little remote, it was not far from the Central City. It only took three hours to drive there.

"Danielle, did you sleep well? Do you want to get some sleep in the car?" Xavier asked while yawning. He was obviously still sleepy.

Seeing Xavier's sleepy look, Danielle smiled and said, "Xavier, you sleep first. I'll wake you up when we get there. I slept well last night."

"Xavier is a typical example of someone who is nocturnal. You have to change this habit. I really don't know how you live on the set." Vivian glared at her son.

"I'm resting now. I got so excited at night that I stayed up all night."

"Mom, Dad, do you want to take a rest too? I'll call you when we get there," Danielle said with a smile.

"It's good to have a sweet daughter who knows how to care for us. We are not sleepy." Howard said with a smile.

They were talking and laughing in the car, and Xavier didn't sleep. The driver drove onto the mountain road.

Although Danielle was chatting with her family, she was also paying attention to her surroundings. It was a mountainous area, and the further the car went, the more remote it became.

It was better to take the initiative and see who was behind it.

Just as Danielle was thinking, several cars surrounded them, and their driver was forced to stop.

"They are here to kill us." Howard glanced at the twenty-odd people who got out of the car, each holding a machete.

"Mr. and Mrs Darling, Miss Danielle, and Mr. Xavier, please stay in the car. We'll go down and deal with them." The captain of the bodyguards and another bodyguard prepared to rush out of the car.

"Be careful..." Before Howard could finish, the bodyguards were out of the car.

As soon as the two of them got out of the car, they were surrounded. The Darling family's bodyguards were all very capable and professionally trained.

"Let's call the police!" Vivian took out her phone and was about to call the police, but when she switched on her phone, she found that there was no signal there.

"Mom, it'll be too late for the police to arrive, and there's no signal here," Danielle said calmly.

"Let's fight them. Although my skills are average, I'm still a man. I'm going down to help." Xavier was about to get out of the car to help.

"Xavier, you stay in the car. If you go down, you won't be able to help, and you're likely to be taken out with one slash." Danielle said bluntly.

Xavier also knew that his sister was right, but the situation outside was very unfavorable. Their bodyguards already had several obvious knife wounds on their bodies. If the bodyguards couldn't hold on, the Darling family members also couldn't just sit and wait for death.

Danielle picked up her watch and clicked on it a few times. Then she turned to her family and said, "Dad, Mom, Xavier, you must not get out of the car. It's safe in the car. I'll go down and help."

She didn't know the true strength of her family's bodyguards either. She thought they would be able to take care of the attackers quickly, but she didn't expect that her family's bodyguards would be defeated.
