Chapter 228-2
Not A Small-Town Girl
----
Danielle hung up the video call and sent a message
with a single question: [Found the mole in the house
yet?]
The reply came quickly: [Of course I know. How did
you figure it out?]
Danielle smiled softly. [Youâre too smart. Nothing
escapes you, huh?]
âIâm pretty sharp," the man responded with a touch of
pride. "So, the housekeeper and Aunt Vivian are both
under the curse?â
----
"Yeah, the maid did it. Iâve sent
someone to pick up Orion. Hopefully,
they can break the curse," Danielle
explained, her tone serious. "Itâs
crazy haw going to Blackpool Village
to find Matthew led to finding
someone who knows how to break
auyses and toxins. I really.éeded
that. I didnât know what t6 do
otherwise."
----
âAnd donât forget about Andrewâs mom. You promised
him youâd help her. Set up a time with him. Iâll go
check on her."
Danielleâs ex sion softened. She
wasnât just ng it for Andrew. It
was a chanee to put her medical
skills tose. "Iâll go do that. I havénât
had aChance to show off my skills
latest My hands have been itshing."

Danielle made a face as he messed with her hair,
trying to fix it. "Donât touch my hair! Look at what
youâve doneânow itâs all staticky and frizzy."
David laughed, feeling a bit guilty. "Sorry, Iâll fix it." He
ran his hands through her hair, trying to smooth it out.
âYou want to play more?" he asked, his eyes full of
affection.
âPlay? The house is probably falling apart. We should
head home," she replied, giving him a pointed look.
David raised an eyebrow. "Why, because youâre
worried about your family?"
She smirked. "No. But I think itâs time to put an end to
this chaos."

Meanwhile, lvag and Judy had made
their way out the Darling family
estate, but not far into their escapex
they noticed they were being i
followed. Their senses went onchigh
alertetThey took several winditn
hidden routes, but when they looked
back, the tail was gone.
âThatâs definitely someone from the Darling family.
Lucky we noticed them. Letâs go find the master."
----
Judyâs face flushed with excitement at the mention of
the master. "I canât wait to see him again,â she said,
her voice full of longing.
"The master has arrived in Aleria, but I donât have the
address yet. Iâve already contacted the butler and am
waiting for a response. Letâs find somewhere to wait,"
Judy said, her voice laced with anticipation.
Ivan couldnât help but sneer inwardly. âThe master? As
if she could be so familiar. She didnât even know her
place."
âAlright, letâs find a spot and wait for the masterâs
instructions."
Both of them believed they had shaken off their
pursuers, their guard slipping. But in reality, the
second wave of agents was already tracking their
every move.
----
This was all part of Danielleâs plan. She had wanted
them to lead her straight to the mastermind.
Later that night, Danielle returned to the Darling
family estate, greeted by the sight of servants
hurriedly cleaning up.
âMiss Darling, youâre back!" one of the maids said, her
voice filled with respect.
The change was subtle but noticeableâDanielleâs
presence now commanded not just respect, but
admiration. Her aura had changed, and the maids
now looked at her with stars in their eyes.
She pushed open the study door, where her brothers
were waiting for her.
----
"Danielle, youâre back! Next time, just call us if you
want to go to the amusement park. Weâll come with
you. The more, the merrier, right?"
"Sure," Danielle said with a playful grin.
Her brothers cheered, thrilled by her response. Theyâd
do anything to make sure Danielle was happy.
