Polly wore delicate makeup and high-end jewelry. Even though
she was forty years old, her face didn’t have a single wrinkle.
Her skin was well-maintained, and she had a delicate
appearance.
"Logan, Tara, Geoffrey is just feeling
a little wronged, and that’s why he
came to youto complain," Polly said.
"Don’t take it seriously. I understan:
why David won’t let Sebastian join
the company. Sebastian just wants
to besloser to his brother and help
himshare the workload. Sifite
Sébastian joining the company
upsets David, I won’t agree to let him
join. Sebastian can make a living
anywhere.

“David has a deep misunderstanding of our family of three, so I
don’t want him to have any more misunderstandings. Sebastian
never intends to compete with David for anything." Polly spoke
softly, forcing a smile.
Her words shifted all the blame onto
David. She algo implied that David
couldn’t talerate his family, yet shes
pretendédto be considerate of hiny
ande aphasized their family of
threesDanielle wanted to apptaud,
thinking, ‘She is truly a skilled angelic
bifth.

Danielle held David’s hand and could feel the coldness
emanating from him. She squeezed his hand.
As if sensing Danielle’s unease, David curled his lips into a faint
smile. Holding her hand, he led her toward the living room.
Picking up where Polly left off, Sebastian said, "That’s right.
Grandpa, Grandma, Dad and I just want to help David share
some of the work. We can’t bear to see him working so hard for
the company. I won’t compete with David for anything.”
“You guys are worthy of helping me share the work?" David said
with a cold expression as he held Danielle’s hand and walked
in. "Don’t you know your worth?"
When Logan and Tara saw Danielle, their initially grimnoveldrama
expressions instantly brightened. "Danielle, you’re here!" Tara
said. "Every day, I’ve been asking this rascal to bring you over,
but he keeps refusing."
“Tara, I’ve really been quite busy lately," Danielle replied
sweetly.
“My dear Danielle, I’ve asked the kitchen staff to make a lot of
your favorite dishes." Tara kept holding Danielle’s hand, her
fondness for her evident.

Danielle had cured Logan and Tara. Calling her their lifesaver
wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
David had initially come to complain, asking Logan to rein in
David, but unexpectedly, Logan and Tara completely ignored
their family of three as soon as Danielle arrived.
“You are David’s girlfriend, right?" Polly said with a proper smile
as she looked at Danielle. "You’re so beautiful. No wonder
David has a thing for you. Which family are you from?"
What Polly said was simply a subtle insinuation that David liked
Danielle for her looks. In the short time since arriving in
Soufield, she encountered one angelic bitch after another. "Tara,
who is this old woman?" Danielle asked.
----
As soon as Danielle spoke, Polly’s expression changed. She
wanted to fly into a rage but had to hold back, so her face kept
shifting expressions like a chameleon.
"She is the second wife of David’s father," Tara said, not daring
to say "stepmother" for fear that David would be upset.
Covering her mouth with a look of disbelief, Danielle said, "Huh?
No way. No way. Doesn’t that mean the mistress has
successfully become the wife? Oh my, I despise mistresses who
break up families. How immoral!"
----
"What are you talking about?" Polly
said. "Do you have any manners? I
am Geoffrey’¢ Jegally wedded wife."
Polly hated‘itwhen people brought
this up. lathe past, those circles of
wealtny wives despised and looked
dowrsdpon her. It was only in-kecent
yeas that she had entered those
citcles, but those wealthywives still
looked down upon her. Now that
David was the head of the family,
those wealthy wives still mocked her
openly and secretly.
----
‘Now, this ill-mannered young girl dares to mock me,’ Polly
thought. ’She hasn’t even married into the Charrington family,
yet she dares to go against me. I really need to teach her a
lesson."
Danielle looked at Polly in shock and said, "Isn’t Sebastian only
one year younger than David? I remember David saying that he
was five when his mother passed away. David’s parents weren’t
divorced at that time, right? Oh my god. It can’t be, right?"
