Not A Small-Town Girl

----

Danielle hung up the video call and sent a message

with a single question: [Found the mole in the house

yet?]

The reply came quickly: [Of course I know. How did

you figure it out?]

Danielle smiled softly. [You’re too smart. Nothing

escapes you, huh?]

“I’m pretty sharp," the man responded with a touch of

pride. "So, the housekeeper and Aunt Vivian are both

under the curse?”

----

"Yeah, the maid did it. I’ve sent

someone to pick up Orion. Hopefully,

they can break the curse," Danielle

explained, her tone serious. "It’s

crazy haw going to Blackpool Village

to find Matthew led to finding

someone who knows how to break

auyses and toxins. I really.éeded

that. I didn’t know what t6 do

otherwise."

----

“And don’t forget about Andrew’s mom. You promised

him you’d help her. Set up a time with him. I’ll go

check on her."

Danielle’s ex sion softened. She

wasn’t just ng it for Andrew. It

was a chanee to put her medical

skills tose. "I’ll go do that. I havén’t

had aChance to show off my skills

latest My hands have been itshing."

Danielle made a face as he messed with her hair,

trying to fix it. "Don’t touch my hair! Look at what

you’ve done—now it’s all staticky and frizzy."

David laughed, feeling a bit guilty. "Sorry, I’ll fix it." He

ran his hands through her hair, trying to smooth it out.

“You want to play more?" he asked, his eyes full of

affection.

“Play? The house is probably falling apart. We should

head home," she replied, giving him a pointed look.

David raised an eyebrow. "Why, because you’re

worried about your family?"

She smirked. "No. But I think it’s time to put an end to

this chaos."

Meanwhile, lvag and Judy had made

their way out the Darling family

estate, but not far into their escapex

they noticed they were being i

followed. Their senses went onchigh

alertetThey took several winditn

hidden routes, but when they looked

back, the tail was gone.

“That’s definitely someone from the Darling family.

Lucky we noticed them. Let’s go find the master."

----

Judy’s face flushed with excitement at the mention of

the master. "I can’t wait to see him again,” she said,

her voice full of longing.

"The master has arrived in Aleria, but I don’t have the

address yet. I’ve already contacted the butler and am

waiting for a response. Let’s find somewhere to wait,"

Judy said, her voice laced with anticipation.

Ivan couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. ‘The master? As

if she could be so familiar. She didn’t even know her

place."

‘Alright, let’s find a spot and wait for the master’s

instructions."

Both of them believed they had shaken off their

pursuers, their guard slipping. But in reality, the

second wave of agents was already tracking their

every move.noveldrama

This was all part of Danielle’s plan. She had wanted

them to lead her straight to the mastermind.

Later that night, Danielle returned to the Darling

family estate, greeted by the sight of servants

hurriedly cleaning up.

“Miss Darling, you’re back!" one of the maids said, her

voice filled with respect.

The change was subtle but noticeable—Danielle’s

presence now commanded not just respect, but

admiration. Her aura had changed, and the maids

now looked at her with stars in their eyes.

She pushed open the study door, where her brothers

were waiting for her.

----

"Danielle, you’re back! Next time, just call us if you

want to go to the amusement park. We’ll come with

you. The more, the merrier, right?"

"Sure," Danielle said with a playful grin.

Her brothers cheered, thrilled by her response. They’d

do anything to make sure Danielle was happy.
