The phone rang, interrupting Danielle's attempts to piece together the night.

"Sweetie, coming hfor breakfast? Your Dad and | are waiting." Vivian's warm voice cthrough.

"No need to wait for me, Mom. I'll grab something here at my friend's place before heading back," Danielle

replied sweetly.

"Alright honey. Drive safe."

"Will do."

After hanging up, Danielle turned to Juniper with growing dread. "Who was the person last night?"

"Oh, just David Charrington, CEO of Charrington Group and possibly the most dangerous man in the business

world. You treated him like a high-end escort. It was quite a show, but he still drove you back,"

Juniper replied.

"Gotta go." Danielle vanished at supersonic speed.

At Charrington Group, David summoned his right- hand man. "Nathan, full background check on last night's

"Got it. You have a multinational conference call in thirty minutes. Also, the Waywood Club auction is tomorrow-

orchestrated the whole thing.

Emery: [I'm on it. If someone orchestrated this, made you suffer all these years... they'll pay.]

Back at the Darlings’ Treeside Villa, Audrey was performing concern with theatrical precision. "Mom, where's

Danielle? Don’t tellshe didn’t chlast night! Where did she sleep?"

"She stayed at a friend's. It's sweet that you're worried about your sister," Vivian replied with a smile.

"But she just got to Soulfield-what ‘friends’ could she have? | hate to suggest anything, but... | worry about her

lifestyle choices, being so new here. I'm sorry, Mom, | just want her to resist temptation." Audrey’s face was a

masterclass in calculated concern.

"But you have to be careful. The Darling nmeans something. We can’t afford any scandals."

Danielle’s eyebrows knitted together, her expression turning ice-cold as she stared at Audrey. "Your imagination

must be exhausting."
