Not A Small-Town Girl

----

Logan and Tara proudly praised Danielle without holding

back.

Giancarlo snorted coldly and glanced at his useless

grandson.

Caught by his grandfather’s gaze, Joshua who was

standing at the side sensed that the days ahead wouldn’t

be easy. He wondered if it was still too late to run.

"Danielle, just call me Giancarlo, and make yourself at

home," Giancarlo said with a smile.

and ara had both acknowledgéd,

Some people had even begun to think about how to get on

good terms with Danielle.

At that moment, Cheryl walked forward with the graceful

smile of a lady from a prestigious family, carrying a gift. "Mr.

Barnes, happy birthday. I wish you many more years of

health and happiness."

Giancarlo returned to his usual seriousness. "Oh, you’re

already back from abroad!"

"Mr. Barnes, I just came back a few days ago. I wanted to

visit you, but I’ve been busy lately. This is a birthday

present for you."

Cheryl said confidently, her every move revealing the

demeanor of a wealthy lady.

Inside the gift box was a set of the Four Treasures of the

Study, a thoughtful gift Cheryl had carefully prepared.

Knowing that Giancarlo loved calligraphy, she chose

something that would suit his taste.

----

As expected, Giancarlo’s eyes lit up with excitement when

he saw the gift inside and picked up the inkstone.

Danielle also glanced at the Four Treasures of the Study.

The quality of the items was top-notch. It was clear that

Cheryl had put a lot of thought into the gift.

According to tradition, there were four famous types of

inkstones, known as the Four Great Inkstones. They were

Durable Stone, Moist Stone, Smooth Stone, and Clay

Stone.
