Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David) novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93

At the Darling family’s Treeside Villa, Audrey had been grounded in her room for the past two days. Even her meals were brought to her room by the servants. This made her a little flustered. After all, her parents had never punished her before. This time, they immediately grounded her.

She wanted to take advantage of Danielle not being in the country these two days to bond with her parents. If this continued, she would have no standing left in the Darling family.

’How can I make my parents happy now?’ she thought. ’I can’t even leave the room. Damn Danielle. It’s all her fault.’

After much deliberation, Audrey eventually decided to write a handwritten letter to her parents.

She found some exquisite stationery and began to write.

Half an hour later, there was a pile of discarded paper all around the floor. She thought, ’Damn it, none of what I wrote is satisfactory. My parents will definitely not be touched when they see it.’

In the end, Audrey found many articles online about being grateful to parents that brought tears to one’s eyes and adapted them by incorporating her own thoughts.

Two hours later, a touching letter expressing gratitude to her parents was completed.

She texted: [Ask Judy to come to my room.]

"Thud, thud, thud."

Less than two minutes later, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in," Audrey said.

Judy walked in, unsure of why Audrey had asked her to come. She said with a smile, "Miss Darling, what do you need me to do?"

"Judy, you’ve been working at the Darling family’s home for a few years, right?" Audrey asked gently.

"It’s been four years, Miss Darling," Judy said softly.

"Judy, you’ve always attended to my mom, and you’ve earned her trust. If you need my help in the future, you can come to me. We can help each other, and I’ll treat you well." Audrey gave a friendly smile. Her intention to get Judy on her side couldn’t have been more obvious.

"Miss Darling, I’m just an insignificant servant, usually only attending to Mrs. Darling’s daily needs. I handle nothing important, but I still appreciate your kindness. If there’s anything you need me to do, you can just let me know."

Audrey made an obvious attempt to win over Judy, so there was no way Judy couldn’t see through her little scheme.

"I really do need your help with something. I’ve written a letter to my parents, but I can’t get out of this room right now. Can you take it to them for me?"

Audrey spoke gently and looked at Judy expectantly.

She thought, ’Right now, I’m isolated and helpless in my family, and I need Judy to put in a good word for me in front of my mom. If it weren’t for the fact that Judy had earned my mom’s trust, I wouldn’t have been so polite to a maid.

’I have to endure for now. Sooner or later, I’ll drive Danielle out.

"Miss Darling. your parents are still angry," Judy said. "If I help you bring the letter over, they might not read it. After all, Danielle is their biological daughter, so it’s only natural for them to be a little biased. It’s hard on you."

Judy looked troubled, appearing as though she was still considering Audrey’s situation.

Audrey also felt that her parents were making a mountain out of a molehill, and just as Judy had said, they were biased. She thought, ’Why should I give up my engagement to Danielle? Why should I be the one who gets hurt? ’I was the one who fell in love with David first. If it weren’t for Danielle’s interference, I would definitely have won him over. What’s wrong with me being brave in pursuing love? Now, they’ve directly grounded me.’

Just then, Danielle’s phone rang.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was a call from someone whom she had sent to tail after Kevin. She then pressed the answer button.

As the call was answered, the person on the other end of the line said anxiously, "Miss Darling, bad news. Something’s happened." "What’s wrong?" Danielle said. "Take your time and explain."

Danielle could not help but feel a little puzzled, thinking, ’What exactly can make Taylor this antsy?’

"We’ve been following Kevin since we left the casino," Taylor said. "A group of people suddenly appeared with weapons in their hands earlier. They went straight for Kevin and shot him twice.

"We quickly got out of the car to stop them after realizing what was happening, but they attacked us like crazy. We fought against them. It was obvious they were prepared. Our people were all injured, and Kevin’s injuries were the most serious. We don’t know if he can be saved."

Taylor knew that Danielle wanted to gather more information by tracing the leads related to Kevin, so he protected him. He was also seriously injured, but he had to report the situation to his boss in time.

Danielle was slightly stunned and said in a serious voice a moment later, "Where are you guys? I’ll go over now." She thought, ’Taylor is quite skilled, and it’s usually hard for him to get injured. Someone must have started monitoring me at the casino. No, it’s very likely they’ve been watching my every move. These people are very likely the ones I’m looking for.

"We’re all at the hospital," Taylor said, his face pale. "I’ll send you the location in a bit."

"Alright, I’ll head over right away." Just as Danielle hung up, David’s magnetic voice could be heard from beside her.

"What’s wrong?" he asked.

"Something happened to the person I sent to tail after Kevin," Danielle said vaguely as Tara was beside her.

"Danielle, who bullied you?" Tara said. "Tell me. I’ll help you deal with those people." Tara moved her wrist as she spoke, looking as if she really wanted to beat someone up.

David thought, ’Once again, I think Grandma shouldn’t have been treated so soon. In the past few years, Grandma became a lot more subdued because of her illness, and I forgot about her great achievements...
