Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David) novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85

"I gotta ask you something. I’ll let you go if you answer honestly," Danielle spoke unhurriedly.

"Will you let me go after I answer?" Kevin asked in disbelief.

"Yes," said Danielle.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

"Who is it?" Danielle spoke coldly, frowning.

"I’m the owner of the casino. I brought a bottle of red wine for you guys," Owen said.

He pushed the door open and entered before Danielle respond.

Danielle was speechless because she didn’t let him in and she found it strange that the boss came in with a bottle of red wine. "You’re the guests here. I shall send you a bottle of wine for you."

Owen sat down on the sofa. Neither David nor Danielle spoke.

When Owen saw Danielle’s facial features, he realized she resembled his sister. He couldn’t help but wonder if Danielle was his sister’s daughter. He soon dismissed the idea out of hand because his sister and her husband were in love.

"What’s your name?" Owen asked.

Danielle glanced at Owen who sat on the sofa with ease.

"Does it have anything to do with you? Get out," Danielle said bluntly.

"Well, you have a bad temper. It’s fine. You guys go about your business. I’ll just sit around," Owen said without getting angry.

"Owen, are you very free? Why don’t I find you something to do?" David said coldly. "David, are you bluffing? I’m so scared," Owen said teasingly, playing with the rosary beads in his hand. His eyes were devoid of fear.

"This is your first warning," David spoke in a low but firm voice.

Danielle stared at the rosary beads in Owen’s hand and said calmly, "Let him stay for now."

"Alright." David’s tone was as not as cold as when he spoke to Owen just now.

Owen clicked his tongue.

"Do you know this man?" asked Danielle.

She took out a photo of Benjamin covered in wounds and blood and showed it to Kevin.

She wasn’t trying to scare Kevin with the photo. It was Emery who had sent it to her.

Kevin was shocked when he saw the photo. In an instant, he regained his composure.

"Who is this? I don’t know him," he said.

Kevin’s expression just now didn’t escape Danielle’s eyes. She knew he was lying.

"I’m done answering. Can you let me go now?" Kevin asked and was about to leave.

"Do you wanna die?" Danielle’s cold voice came from behind Kevin.

Kevin was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground. He was sure that Danielle was serious and this was a blatant threat.

Danielle said, "I don’t have much patience. You’d better not piss me off.

’I’ll give you two choices. First, answer my question honestly and I’ll let you go. Second, I’ll beat you until you answer me, then you’ll die."

Kevin was dumbfounded. He realized there was no choice for him.

Danielle crossed her arms. Her beautiful face revealed an innocent expression, as if the cruel words just now did not come from her.

Owen raised his eyebrows. He did not expect the woman beside David to be as ruthless as him.

"I-I do know him, but I’ve never met him before. I only contacted him through my phone," Kevin said.

He was afraid Danielle would kill him if he did not answer honestly. However, he wouldn’t get away with it even if he told her the truth.

"Who are you working for?" Danielle asked.

She knew what Patrick meant.

Then, she turned to look at Owen, who was watching the show.

"Can you show me this string of rosary beads?"

Danielle asked.

Owen was stunned for a moment, not expecting Danielle let him stay and watch the show just to see his rosary beads.

Facing Owen’s long silence, Liam decided to explain to ease the awkward atmosphere.

He said, "Miss, my boss got the rosary beads from the church. They’re very magical and not to be touched by others casually. It’s said that wearing them will prevent illnesses and calm one’s mind."

Danielle snorted coldly. Although she hadn’t taken a closer look at the rosary beads, she was amused by Liam’s words. "Well, I don’t think the rosary beads are good for you," Danielle said.

Owen and Liam’s faces darkened. Only David believed Danielle was right.

Liam said, "Miss, you’re quite beautiful, but your words are unpleasant to ear."

"What do you mean?" A trace of confusion flashed across Owen’s eyes as he asked.

"Literally," said Danielle.

"Are you saying there’s something wrong with my rosary beads?" Owen asked.

He had been wearing the rosary beads for years. If there was a problem, he should have known long ago. However, he was puzzled as Danielle didn’t look like she was lying.

"Danielle, let’s go home. Forget about him. Wouldn’t it be better if something happened to him?" David said. He held Danielle’s hand and was about to walk out.

Owen was speechless. He was just momentarily confused.

Danielle didn’t want to say more since Owen didn’t believe her. In any case, she had reminded him.
