Not A Small-Town Girl
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 didnât approve of Davidâs way of playing hardball. For his sisterâs sake, Joseph decided to do something to punish Skylar as a warning to others.
Skylarâs face turned pale when she heard Josephâs words. The Darling family was kind and peace- loving. The servants would not be punished unless they made serious mistakes. However, the Darling family didnât become the richest family in the country for nothing.
Skylar had just lost a few teeth from being slapped by Davidâs bodyguard.

Audrey was afraid that Skylar would say something she shouldnât. 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
