Chapter 177-2

----

Now, everyone’s gaze toward Danielle had changed, filled

with newfound respect. It seemed they would have to be

extra careful in the future.

“Mr. Barnes, I’ll make up for your birthday another day,"

Logan said with a smile.

"I’m old. I don‘treally want to

celebrate irthday." Giancarlo

waved his hand and turned to look

at Panel "But Danielle has beers

bullied.since she came to our frome.

Frorgmiow on, if anyone bulligs you, I

wityersonally take revengetor you."

----

Giancarlo’s wards caused a stir.

Everyone knéw he never involved

himself i family conflicts, always ~

playing tHe role of a wise old mars

Sante ime, he openly stood yp for

Danielle, sending a clear message to

anyone thinking of causing cube.

“Take them away," David instructed Nathan who directly

had his bodyguards drag those people out.

This was the first banquet Danielle attended, and it ended

just like that.

----

Inside the Rolls-Royce.

Danielle looked out the window at the scenery.

“Are you hungry?" David’s magnetic voice came from

beside her ear.

She wasn’t hungry at first, but after David’s reminder, she

suddenly felt a bit hungry and nodded.

She had a streak of bad luck today. One after another,

people came to her, looking for trouble.

David curled the corner of his mouth and ruffled Danielle’s

hair. "The chef made a lot of dishes you like. You can eat

as soon as we get back."

“Okay.” Danielle tilted her head and stared intently at the

man in front of her.

----

“What are you looking at?" David asked knowingly.

"Just looking at how this face is

shaped! Really attracts trouble,"

Danielle said staring at his 2

annoyingly handsome face. She ~S

really wanted to pinch him. It was

this.face that attracted a burgh of

waren, causing her so much

tféuble.

----

“Then I’ll wear a mask or just ruin my face,” he said. Since

he became an adult, too many women had flocked to him,

partly because of his status, but mostly because of his

face.

So the bodyguards around him weren’t just there to protect

his safety; they were also there to keep away those women

looking for trouble.

Seeing that David wasn’t joking and had a serious

expression, Danielle smiled and said, “But I like your face!

Looks like I’ll have to protect you well from now on. You

better not let other women take advantage."

It was said that girls should protect themselves when they

were outside, and men who were good-looking should

protect themselves even more.

----

“No one can get close to me unless I allow it." David gave

Danielle’s hand a gentle squeeze.

"Meanwhile, at Locke Manor, Tim sat at the head of the

table, sipping his coffee.

“Mr. Locke, please, you have to save my wife. If you step

in, he’ll respect you and let them go," lan pleaded, his voice

filled with desperation.

One of the women taken away by David had insulted

Danielle at the party. Word had it that anyone brought to

the Nathor Palace never came out alive.

Panic clawed at lan’s chest, and now he could only pin his

hopes on the Locke family.

“Mr. Marker, there’s no use panicking now," Cheryl said.

David is furious at the moment, and even if Grandpa

intervenes, it might not make a difference."

----

Cheryl’s heart burned with jealousy and hatred. She

wanted nothing more than to destroy Danielle. She

thought, ‘How could someone of her background deserve a

man like David? She’s nothing more than a pretty face.

David is mine."
