Chapter 163-2

----

“Mrs. Darling has been very kind to me," Judy said. "I will

definitely take good care of her. Miss Darling, don’t worry.” It

was within Judy’s expectation that Vivian would speak up for

her, but Danielle’s inexplicable words made her feel a little

uneasy.

Danielle lowered her head to eat after she finished speaking,

not saying anything more to Judy.

----

"Danielle, I won’t let those

classmates who bullied you

yesterday off the hook,"Howard ~

said. "Yow are the apple of our &

family’s‘eye, and no one can bully

you. 8S Howard thought of these

peaple scolding his daughtet like

this, he got so angry that he wished

he could get rid of them.

----

“Mom, Dad, I didn’t take to heart what they said," Danielle said.

She wasn’t very good at comforting people, but she didn’t want

her parents to feel too self-reproachful.

“Your dad and I didn’t expect these people to be so vicious and

say such things," Vivian said with self-reproach. "It’s our fault for

not protecting you. We’ll definitely be more careful from now

on.

----

"Mom, Dad, yey don’t have to blame

yourselves. Ii really fine. After

dinner, Ag ing to David’s place. ~

Those péople are still locked up in

NathoxPalace." She was really@fraid

thatavid would immediately get rid

oftthem in a moment of &

digsatisfaction.

----

Vivian and Howard recalled how David acted yesterday.

Admittedly, they were also a little worried. "Okay, go ahead,"

they said.

At Nathor Palace, Nathan walked in hurriedly and said, "Mr.

Charrington, the Stuart family is making moves, but the Darling

family has already taken action."

“Then help the Darling family deal the Stuart family another

blow," David said.

He sat on the sofa with a cup of coffee, his narrow eyes slightly

narrowed. There was a sense of lingering gloom in his gaze.

Outside the window, dark clouds gathered as lightning flashed

and thunder roared. At this moment, David’s handsome face

was like the weather. There was a depressing sense of an

impending storm.

----

Nathan instantly understood that the Stuart family was clueless,

daring to provoke something extremely sensitive to their boss.

“Got it," he said. "Mr. Charrington, is this year’s assessment of

Demonic Hall still taking place on the deserted island?”

David’s attractive eyes revealed nothing of his thoughts, and he

said in a cold voice, "Yes, I will go there myself this year."

----

Nathan didn’t expect that David wanted to go in person for the

assessment of Demonic Hall. Charrington Group might be

impressive, but compared to their boss’s other industries, it

could only be said that Charrington Group was holding their

boss back.

“Okay, I’ll make arrangements,” Nathan said.

----

This year was going to be

interesting. Qemonic Hall’s annual

assessmentwas a large-scale .

battle, ans everyone was preparing)

for it, including David. Althoughhis

combat skills were inferior tothem,

he still had to go and compege in the

assessment. Moreover, the people

at Demonic Hall only rec6gnized

David.

----

Of course, those who could stay at Demonic Hall were the best

of the best. Even the weakest among them could take down an

entire group in an instant.

“How’s the situation on Patrick’s end?" David asked coldly.

“It’s all been dealt with," Nathan said. "They’re on their way

back, but on the way, they ran into another group trying to take

someone. The two sides fought, and both suffered injuries of

varying degrees.

“The people they sent were all highly skilled, and their objective

was clear. They were after Scorpion, who has made quite a few

enemies."

‘No wonder he’s a major drug lord,’ Nathan thought. ‘He really

has a lot of enemies.’ As he reported, he reflected.

----

David tapped on the sofa, remaining silent for a long while.

Nathan was unsure what his boss was thinking. He thought, ‘But

Mr. Charrington cares too much about Danielle. Wiping out an

entire drug trafficking group over a disagreement involves the

interests of many people, and it’s not a good sign.

‘Mr. Charrington has countless enemies, both in the open and

hidden, all aiming for his life. Emotionally, I hope Mr.

Charrington can find happiness, but rationally, I know Mr.

Charrington can’t afford to have any weaknesses.’

Nathan looked at David with a troubled expression, hesitant to

speak.

“What do you want to say?" David asked, glancing at Nathan

with eyes that were glinting with coldness.

Nathan bit the bullet and said, "Mr. Charrington, I’m just worried.

You care too much about Miss Darling, and this could become

your weakness. Those people might shift their focus onto her

instead."
