Not A Small-Town Girl

"Cameron, Andrew, long time no see," Cheryl said softly with a smile on her face.

"How dare you call me only by my name," Cameron said, making a disgusted expression.

Andrew stood aside and didn’t say a word.noveldrama

"Miss Darling, the necklace looks great on you!" Cameron said with a cheerful smile.

Cheryl noticed the necklace on Danielle’s neck. She knew that David had bought this necklace at the auction. She didn’t expect such an expensive necklace to be worn directly on Danielle’s neck.

She was just a homewrecker, not worthy of wearing such an expensive necklace. Cheryl was so angry that she wanted to rip the necklace off Danielle’s neck.

"Let’s go in." Just as David said this, a voice came from behind.

"Danielle," Xaxier shouted as soon as he saw Danielle, not caring about the occasion.

He got out of the car and left Jaden behind.

"Danielle, have you missed me?" Xavier looked at Danielle expectantly.

Danielle nodded obediently. Seeing Jaden who had been left behind, she deliberately said, "Xavier, who did you come with?"

"By myself, no, I came with Jaden." Xavier turned around and realized that he had run too fast and left Jaden behind. Seeing that Jaden hadn’t followed, he urged, "Why don’t you hurry up!"

Danielle’s eyes lit up to see Xaxier had become so brave, daring to speak to Jaden like that. Her curious eyes were burning with gossip.

Everyone present knew that Xavier was the fifth son of the Darling family, but they didn’t expect him to speak to Jaden in such a fierce tone.

They were no strangers to Jaden. He had been in the black market business in his early years, but he had only recently gone legit.

"Wow, Xavier is all grown up. He dares to be so fierce to Jaden now," Joshua teased.

"When was I ever fierce to him?" Xavier glared at Joshua and turned around to ask, "Jaden, was I fierce to you?"

Jaden was still angry at Xavier for leaving him behind when he got out of the car. With a sullen face, he still replied, "Nothing."

"Jaden, if you are kidnapped, just give a subtle sign," Cameron said with a smile.

"Jaden, long time no see." Luna gave a confident smile.

Jaden glanced at Cheryl and said nothing.

They were all indifferent toward Cheryl.

The entire Barnes family manor was brightly lit, with a red carpet stretching from the main entrance to the main hall.

Inside the hall.

The dazzling crystal chandelier emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire banquet hall.

The famous pianist was playing beautiful music on the stage.

People in the hall raised their glasses to greet each other and exchanged business cards from time to time.

Everyone wore a polite smile, yet their faces spoke of inappropriate gossip.

"I wonder which family’s daughter Mr. Charrington brought with him this time? Didn’t they say he was already engaged with the daughter of the Darling family?"

"Didn’t you see just now? Xavier even greeted Mr. Charrington’s companion casually. Their relationships are quite messy."

"The Darling and Charrington families have an engagement, so this one is probably just for fun."

At that moment, Audrey appeared in the living room in a goose-yellow haute couture gown.
