Chapter 162-1

“You said you are legally wedded, so that means Sebastian is not the biological child of the Charrington family," Danielle said as she looked at Geoffrey with sympathy. "Geoffrey, the love between you and Polly is truly unbreakable. You disregarded your own son and helped raise someone else’s child."

David sat on the sofa and watched Danielle perform. He knew that she was helping him vent his anger. Even if she did nothing, he wouldn’t let them off the hook.

“You are so young," Polly said. "How come you are so cutting with your words? Sebastian is the product of my love with Geoffrey. And you? You are just David’s girlfriend now. What right do you have to come here and meddle in the Charrington family’s affairs?" Polly’s face was livid, and she thought, ’If no one were around, I would have wanted to tear this damn girl’s mouth apart.’

"Is this how your parents raised you?" Geoffrey said, looking at Danielle with disgust. "A vicious person like you is not worthy of marrying into the Charrington family. Get out now." He thought, ’David is walking over me, and the bitch he brought home dares to talk to me like this.’

"Say that again?" David said coldly to Geoffrey and Polly, looking as if he would take their lives in the next moment if they dared to say another word.

Noticing that David was angry, Danielle tugged at him gently, looking like a frightened little rabbit, her eyes teary. "Logan, Tara, I spoke out of confusion, and I didn’t expect Geoffrey and Polly to react so strongly," she said. "I am usually straightforward, and I’m used to speaking my mind. It’s my fault for speaking out of turn."

Logan and Tara had never liked Polly. Seeing Danielle’s teary eyes, they immediately said with heartache, "Danielle, you can say whatever you want in the Charrington family’s home. No one dares to restrain you." Logan stared at the people in front of him with his sharp eyes. He knew that Danielle was deliberately venting her anger on behalf of David. "Look at yourselves, arguing with the younger generation here. If you three can stay, stay. If you can’t, get out of here."

"I’ll say it again. I’ve handed over the Charrington family to David, so he’s the one who is in charge now. Stop coming to me with your complaints. You look so petty. Your mom and I have such excellent genes, so how come we end up with such a useless son like you?"

Now that Logan had spoken, the three of them dared not speak again, nor did they dare to show their displeasure toward Danielle.

After dinner, Logan called David to his study. Danielle had eaten too much for dinner, so she went for a walk in the small garden.

"Miss Darling, is the garden beautiful?" Sebastian’s voice sounded faintly from the side.

Danielle glanced up, not intending to speak to him.

"Danielle, you are very beautiful," Sebastian said. "The first time I saw you, I was deeply attracted to you. What’s the point of being with someone as cold-blooded as David? Why not be with me? I will treat you well." Sebastian looked somewhat like David. While David’s handsomeness was due to his sharp and chiseled features, Sebastian’s was due to his delicate and refined look.

"You are a child born from a homewrecker clawing her way up," Danielle said, her sharp tongue lashing out at Sebastian like a dagger dipped in poison. "You think you’re worthy, huh? Go home and take a good look at yourself in the mirror."

Sebastian couldn’t accept being talked about like that. His face was full of ruthlessness. "Miss Darling, you should know what to say and what not to say. Don’t put yourself in danger because of your loose tongue."

Danielle sneered and said in a cold voice, "Are you threatening me?"

"You could interpret it that way..." Before Sebastian finished talking, Danielle flicked her finger, sending a blue pill flying into his mouth.

"Wh-what did you make me eat?" Sebastian asked in disbelief, not expecting this woman to have such tricks up her sleeve.

"It won’t kill you. It’ll just make you suffer a little. That’s the price you pay for threatening me." Danielle spoke coldly before leaving the garden.

"Come back here! I’m going to tell Grandpa and Grandma that you poisoned me!" Sebastian’s veins bulged with rage, thinking, ’How dare she scheme against me? No wonder she’s with David. Birds of a feather flock together.’

Hearing Sebastian’s ranting, Danielle stopped in her tracks. "You’d better not provoke me, or I’ll poison you right now and let you die here."
