Not A Small-Town Girl

----

Many mainstream media outlets wanted to interview him,

but none succeeded. There was not even a photo of him

online.

Many people speculated that the head of the Charrington

family, David Charrington, was too ugly to appear in public.

Originally, no media was allowed at the Barnes family’s

birthday banquet. But this time, they invited a few well-

known media outlets.

Many CEOs surrounded David, hoping to get his attention.

Nathan stepped in and stopped them.

“Everyone, Mr. Charrington does not discuss private

matters. If you have any business, we can talk after the

banquet."

----

As David’s assistant, Nathan’s words carried weight. The

other business owners who had approached quickly

stepped back, showing their understanding.

David took long strides toward the other side of the car,

opened the door, and bent down to help Danielle out.

Danielle stepped out of the car, with her water-blue evening

dress, her hair styled in a bun. Although she had a shawl

on, it couldn’t hide her graceful figure.

When Danielle appeared on the red carpet with David,

everyone present was stunned by her stunning beauty.

She was so beautiful that it seemed unreal, like a fairy

descending to the world.

Everyone wondered when such a great beauty appeared in

Southfield and which family she belonged to.

Everyone looked at Danielle in shock and astonishment as

David led her down the red carpet.

----

The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful

woman attracted the attention of many people along the

way.

When they saw the sapphire necklace on Danielle’s neck,

they gasped.

They remembered that this was the sapphire necklace that

a tycoon bought for ten billion dollars the other day.noveldrama

When many people realized it, they began to wonder about

the relationship between David and Danielle.

It was said that the head of the Charrington family and the

eldest daughter of the Darling family had been engaged.

So they didn’t know who this woman was.

Afew media outlets were snapping photos frantically.

Although it was uncertain whether they would be able to

release them, they would take them first.

----

Some peopte thought the two were

a perfecttmatch, while others oO

claimeg that Danielle was the third

party-boldly showing up despite

knowing that David had a fiancée.

----

Some people were waiting to see what would happen,

wondering if the Darling family’s daughter would cause a

scene when she arrived.

At that moment, the Locke family’s car arrived at the scene.

Cheryl appeared in a white V-neck haute couture gown, her

hair styled back. She looked confident and elegant.

As soon as Cheryl appeared, she

attracted everyone’s attention. No

wonder she-was the most favored:

child of the Locke family, she truly

had amimpressive presence. Péople

whispered among themselves.

----

"David," Cheryl greeted with a smile.

Everyone watthed the scene,

curious. Thee Cheryl had

secretly liked David for a long time;

but becatise of the engagement with

the Dating family, they were more

tharNriends but not quite lovers.

----

David’s lips barely moved as he said, "You’re back."

Cheryl walked up to David and gave a proper smile. "I just

came back and brought you a gift. I wanted to see you, but

I’ve been too busy these two days."

Cheryl completely ignored Danielle and only chatted with

David. In the eyes of others, Danielle was like an outsider

at that moment.

Even Joshua, who was usually unruly, was wearing a suit

today. "David, Miss Darling, what are you doing standing

here? Come on in."

Joshua acted as if he didn’t see Cheryl and didn’t greet her.

“Joshua, you look very handsome today." Cheryl said softly,

unfazed by Joshua’s attitude.

Joshua glanced at Cheryl and said coldly, "I don’t need your

opinion."

----

Danielle was surprised. She didn’t expect Joshua to be so

indifferent to Cheryl.

Just then, Andrew and Cameron’s cars arrived. They

walked the red carpet, both wearing tailored suits.

Cameron looked roguishly handsome, while Andrew had a

devilishly charming look.

“Why are you all standing here? Are you guys welcoming

me?" Cameron asked in a roguish tone. "Oh, Miss Locke is

back?"
