NovelEnglishChapter 24-1
The Charrington family mansion at Hillside was nothing short of majestic-infrared scanners covered a 300-foot
radius, and armed guards watched at the main entrance like sentinels.
As David's car approached, the guards immediately stepped aside and saluted respectfully.
Danielle glanced at them, quickly realizing they weren't an average security team-they looked like seasoned
mercenaries. Their presence hinted that David was more than just the CEO of Charrington Group.
The car rolled to a stop at the mansion’s front steps. They climbed out and followed David inside. In the
expansive living room, Geoffrey and Polly appeared, hurrying toward them.
"Dad, how are you feeling? Why didn’t you stay in the hospital a little longer? We only just found out you were
there and rushed back from abroad," Geoffrey said, concern mingling with irritation.
"That's right, Logan," Polly added, her tone sharp. "Geoffrey and | had no idea you were hospitalized. David, why
didn’t you tell us sooner? We could've cback earlier."

brewing storm.
Logan's gaze shifted to his son and daughter-in-law, his expression stern. "Enough. You're back now- let's leave it
at that."
Then, he turned to David and Danielle, and his tone softened. "David, Danielle, csit within the living
room."
Geoffrey and Polly trailed behind them without saying anything more.
Once seated, Woody stepped forward, carrying an elegant box. "Mr. Logan Charrington," he said respectfully,
setting it down in front of Logan.
Logan opened the box, revealing a breathtaking emerald bracelet. "This belonged to David's grandmother," he
said, his voice steady but tinged with emotion. "It’s a family heirloom. She wanted it to be passed on to the
woman David truly loves."
The bracelet gleamed in the light, its translucent green surface flawless. Danielle knew its reputation. Collectors
had begged for a glimpse of it, but it had never been publicly displayed.
Years ago, rumors circulated that it appeared in the Charrington family. Someone offered 1.5 billion dollars for it,
but the Charrington family wasn’t interested in selling.
It was said to bring peace of mind and clarity to its wearer, but its immense value made Danielle uneasy. "Logan,
I... 1 don’t think | can accept something so precious."
