In the morning, Danielle went downstairs after she had breakfast. Both Teddy and Elsa were present. They were already dressed and waiting for her. Elsa shot her an unimpressed glare. “You’re late. You may be young, but it sure looks like you only pick up on all the bad traits.” Teddy expressed g
Elsa gnashed her teeth the entire time but kept the same false smile and reluctantly handed her card to the clerk. After tallying the bill, it came out to a whopping 110 thousand dollars. Danielle clasped her hands in delight. “Aunt Elsa, thank you so much for spending so much on me.” “It's fine.
Danielle hesitated briefly and then told Teddy before continuing upstairs, “Let me go up and get changed.” After that, Teddy said to Elsa, “Tell Luna to come down for me.” Elsa gave him a look. “What are you planning this time? You know Luna doesn’t want to see Danielle, yet you–” “I know what I’
“Shut up.” Noah glared at Dave. “You’re just a servant — a servant of the Burts. You don’t have the right to speak in our house.” Unhappy, Danielle slammed her hands on the table and shot up from her seat. “That's enough! Do you Whites get high off of humiliating people? Listen up, all of you. It d
Teddy lowered his eyes and stayed silent. Danielle recalled the past and suddenly felt bitter. “Back then, you told my mother I was a bastard and that you refused to acknowledge me as your daughter. You told us to scram as far away as we can.” “We should put what happened in the past behind us. Ar
“You’re insane.” Danielle was just about to hang up the phone when Luna followed up just in time. “It’s impressive enough that you got Karl falling heads over heels for you, but now you’ve even got Noah risking it all for you. You sure are good at what you do.” That comment made Danielle realize t
Danielle shook her head and stated with a faint smile, “I wouldn’t want to infect you with negative emotions.” “Don’t say that. It makes me feel worse seeing you in this state. I only wish for you to be happy. Whenever you’re with Karl, you have this look of bliss on your face that makes me think y
Hazel vowed, “It's fine. I will raise the baby with you. I’m her godmother, after all.” “In that case, I’ll have to thank you on behalf of my child, dear godmother.” “You don’t have to thank me. We’re family.” Danielle did not want to soil Hazel’s mood any longer and promptly suggested they go on
Danielle coyly laughed it off. “No, she didn’t! Maybe I’m just overthinking it.” “In that case, don’t stress yourself thinking about it. Besides, Brooklyn was just someone that Justin’s family chose for him after they went through the list of candidates and decided that she offered the best. As lon
“I’m just telling the truth.” Karl smirked before prompting, “Alright, I’ll drop it. What was it that she said to you in the past?” “I don’t feel like talking about it anymore.” “What, is it a secret between the two of you that you won’t share with me?” Danielle shot him a look. In addition to sw
Karl followed Justin’s gaze and looked outside the window similarly, then he remarked faintly, “Do you feel like Harmony has become rather different? She’s not in a very good state of mind right now, and I think she will need a therapist when she gets to Miraco.” Justin stared at Harmony for a brie
Danielle relented, “Harmony, the reason he wants you to go back is not that he’s angry at you or anything like that. He's…” “It’s fine, you don’t have to explain. I have thought about it and have decided that I will believe in and listen to whatever he says from now on. I trust him as much as I tru
Danielle wondered what he wanted to discuss with her. What an elegant way to put it. “Sure, what do you want to talk about?” Karl sat up, “I just spoke to Justin on the phone. He says he’s going to Miraco next month to start a new branch there and that he will be there for a few years. I was hopi
As Danielle turned around, she saw Max at the door. She stopped in her tracks briefly before finally walking over. “Are you guys done already?” Max just smiled at her slightly. “Mr. Burt is a concise person.” Danielle replied, “That’s fair. Thank you for saving Karl today.” “Mr. Burt has already
Hearing Max’s name, Karl deliberated briefly before responding, “Dan, why don’t you help them send Harmony back to her ward? In the meantime, you can have Max come in. I have something to say to him.” Danielle got worried. “What do you have to say to him? Let’s just forget about it.” “Don’t worry,
After receiving the news that Karl had woken up, despite just being discharged from the emergency room, Harmony made a fuss about wanting to go see Karl. Timothy was also worried. He agreed with Harmony’s request and brought her to Karl’s ward via wheelchair. Seeing Karl, Harmony burst out in tear
As Danielle said that, tears started rolling down her cheeks, her shaky hands moving towards the call bell. How could Karl not recognize her? Could he have hit his head when he fell? What could she do? What could she do now that the person she loved no longer recognized her? Before she could pre
