Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David) novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79

"Butler, get security here and take Skylar out," Joseph ordered with a cold expression.

This time, Joseph and David were on the same page, though Joseph didn’t approve of David’s way of playing hardball. For his sister’s sake, Joseph decided to do something to punish Skylar as a warning to others.

Skylar’s face turned pale when she heard Joseph’s words. The Darling family was kind and peace- loving. The servants would not be punished unless they made serious mistakes. However, the Darling family didn’t become the richest family in the country for nothing.

Skylar had just lost a few teeth from being slapped by David’s bodyguard.

She spoke with a lisp, "Mr. Darling, I was wrong. I’ll stay far away from Miss Darling. Please, spare me."

Joseph did not bother to take a look at Skylar. He said coldly, "If you knew this was going to happen, you shouldn’t have been disrespectful to my sister.

"Anyone from the Darling family who disrespects my sister will be punished severely."

Skylar turned to Audrey and begged, "Miss Audrey Darling, I beg you, please plead for me. I’ll work myself to the bone for you."

Audrey’s face darkened. She secretly blamed Skylar for being stupid. She was not able to fend for herself, not to mention plead for Skylar.

Audrey had plenty of servants working for her. She thought she should make Skylar a scapegoat to avoid trouble.

To prevent Skylar from saying something she shouldn’t, Audrey made her a target for all.

She swiftly slapped Skylar.

Audrey snapped, "Skylar, how can you disrespect my sister and contradict her time and time again? You let me down."

Skylar was stunned by Audrey’s slap. She covered her face with her hand and looked at Audrey in disbelief.

She asked, "Miss Darling, how could you? I did it all for..."

Before she could finish her words, another slap landed on her face.

Audrey was afraid that Skylar would say something she shouldn’t. After all, Skylar knew a lot.

"You take care of me every day. What would Danielle think of me if you treated her like this? People might think I ordered you to do so.

"Danielle already has some misunderstandings about me. How am I supposed to face her now that you did this?" Audrey spoke in a slightly sobbing tone.

At this moment, Danielle found it hard to believe Audrey successfully shifted the focus from her

seducing David to Skylar’s disrespect for her.

Audrey pinned all the blame on Skylar as if she was wronged.

"Miss Darling, you, you..." Skylar stammered.

"Why are you guys still standing here? Take this woman out as Joseph ordered!" Audrey instructed.

Skylar fell to the ground. She knew that she could not get away with it. In this way, she thought staying in the Darling family was much better than being taken away by David’s men.

A few security guards quickly went forward and dragged Skylar out.

Audrey didn’t dare to keep Skylar in the living room anymore, afraid that she would spill the beans.

"Now, go back to your room. You’re grounded until school starts. You’re not allowed to leave your room without my permission."

Howard’s eyes were firm and unquestionable.

"Dad, Mom, I know I was wrong. I’ll stay far away from David and respect Danielle. I’ll go upstairs," said Audrey.

Audrey was glad that her father only grounded her. She was afraid of being chased out because of this.

Only Howard, Vivian, Joseph, Danielle, and David were left in the living room.

Finally, it was quiet. However, there was an indescribable feeling in the silence.

Joseph said, "Dad, Mom, Audrey knows Mr. Charrington is with Danielle, but she still throws herself at him. This is not cool. Why don’t we rent a house for her?"

Joseph had never been particularly close to Audrey since he was young. He always felt Audrey’s existence in the Darling family meant that his sister would never be found and Audrey would completely replace her.

In addition, he didn’t like the way Audrey currying favor with them.

Fortunately, they found Danielle. Joseph swore he wouldn’t let her suffer anymore. However, his parents had raised Audrey for more than ten years and he should consider their feelings. Otherwise, he would have chased Audrey out of the family long ago.

Howard and Vivian were lost in thought when they heard Joseph’s words. They had raised Audrey for 20 years and didn’t have the heart to let Audrey leave. On the other hand, if they did not settle the matter, they would let Danielle down.

Either way, it was not what they wanted to see.

Howard and Vivian knew that Audrey must have gone too far. Otherwise, David would not have done that, and Danielle would not have warned her.

"Danielle, it’s our fault. I didn’t know Audrey had feelings for David. I’m sorry. Danielle, can you..."
