The socialite understood Danielle’s implication that she

was not worthy of her design. She was so angry that she

wanted to tear the woman in front of her apart, but she still

had some sense in front of the Charrington family.

“Now that I think about it, I don’t really like your designs

that much. They’re quite boring.”

Upon hearing this, Danielle took out her phone and dialed

Lyla.

"It’s me. Blacklist Mrs. Lindstrom from Grace Group,"

Danielle ordered domineeringly and hung up the phone.

Within a minute, Fiona received the message that she had

been blacklisted by Grace Group. The whole process took

less than two minutes.

----

Fona was furious. Everyone in their circle loved Grace

Group’s products. They were practically a status symbol for

them. If she was blacklisted, she couldn’t possibly fit in with

them anymore.

“How dare you blacklist me! Do you know how much I

spend at Grace Group every year? And you just blacklist

me?”

"You’re not even in the top five spenders in Aleria. Why

would I care about your paltry sum? Don’t think too highly

of yourself." Danielle scoffed coldly.

Fiona’s face flushed red with anger. She straightened her

back and said, "Do you know who I am? How dare you

speak to me like that? When you marry into the

Charrington family, you’ll have to call me Aunt. I’m your

future mother-in-law’s elder sister."

----

Usually, her younger sister didn’t allow her to use her

position in the Charrington family so blatantly, but today,

she was so angry with Danielle that she didn’t care

anymore.

Sebastian, who was standing in the corner, frowned in

disapproval, thinking that his aunt really had no brains. His

grandparents and David were all present, yet she dared to

use his mother’s name like that.

----

Others might rot know, but he was

well aware ofthis family’s standing in

the Charriggton family. If they were~

truly favéted, it wouldn’t be a big”

deal t “Say such things. But the”

pointwas, that saying this wauid

onty: harm them. She truly had no

brains.

----

Danielle didn’t say anything this time. After all, she and

David had not married yet, so it wasn’t appropriate to

directly discuss his family affairs.

"What is Polly,even worth? A

mistress wh@sose to power through

an illegitimate child, does she S

deserve it? My family is just giving?

her andthe bastard child a meal

And new you’re using her name to

threaten my fiancée? If youcdon’t

want to live, I can send yo straight

to hell."

----

David’s gaze was as sharp as a knife, publicly confirming

Polly’s identity without sparing her any dignity.

Standing in the corner, Sebastian’s face turned ashen, his

eyes bloodshot as he heard Li Mouting’s words. How dare

he? Li Mouting, I will make you pay for this.

Logan and Tara also looked grim. Families of their status

cared deeply about their image, and now this woman was

directly stepping on their eldest grandson’s biggest nerve in

public.

----

As soon as David finished speaking,

a large numbér of bodyguards in

black pouréd into the banquet hall —

and escartéd Fiona out. At this tide,

Fiona’s-face turned pale with fright.

Her farhily had always told he¬ to

offarid anyone, especially David. He

was a devil who wouldn’t hesitate to

kill.

----

If not for this, Polly would not have spent decades in thenoveldrama

Charrington family without ever being truly recognized. At

that moment, she was being dragged by the men in black,

scared and panicked.

Seeing his wife being dragged away by the bodyguard,

Conrad stood up in anger. His family still counted on

Fiona’s family. If something happened to Fiona, her family

would definitely blame him.

“Mr. Charrington, it’s my fault for not disciplining her

properly. I will apologize to you on her behalf. I hope you

can show mercy and let her go." Conrad bowed deeply to

David.

He was already in his forties. It was very embarrassing for

him to apologize to a junior. David remained silent for a

long time, not even raising his head. There was no such

thing as seniority in the face of power.

----

David glanced at the corner and said coldly, "What if I don’t

want to show you any mercy?"

“Mr. Charrington, it’s all Fiona’s fault. I’ll let her apologize to

Miss Darling. Please be generous. Today is Mr. Barnes’s

birthday. Even if you don’t show us any courtesy, at least

show some respect for Mr. Barnes.”

Conrad truly had no choice but to invoke Giancarlo, hoping

that David would spare him for his sake. If he were really

taken away, he didn’t know whether he could still come out

alive.

“Oh, are you threatening me?" David smirked.
