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.noveldrama
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."
