Violet returned home and was embraced by Sophia, who held her tenderly and said, "Violet, next time you go out, don't run around. Your godmother will learn from this lesson and never leave you alone again."The most apologetic one was Daniel. "Sophia, to be honest, even if you didn't leave Violet for a moment, it wouldn't have made a difference. If Mark and his people intervened, few could have prevented it. So, today's responsibility is mine."Sophia fell silent for a moment. "But it was your duty to put out the fire. We just didn't expect it was a trap set by them." She glanced at Daniel. "So, do you know Mark?"Mark Holmes is from the Northern Family in King City. Last time, Violet was bought from Alex by him.This time, because of the death of Juan, he came to Sunshine to ask me for some information and saw Violet again. He decided to take her back to King City once more."Sophia’s ace showed no fear, but rather a hint of anger. "Although we are weak and dare not fight with the N
More than ten people stepped forward one after another. The leader began to examine a photo in his hand, identifying each person one by one. "Not this one," the leader said, pinching the chin of one of his bodyguards."If it's not you, go stand over there," he instructed, pointing to a spot by the window indicated by one of the female bodyguards.Gradually, more people moved to that side.These bodyguards, relying on the power and status of the Grimwald family, displayed an attitude of fearlessness. The bodyguards being checked dared not speak out in anger.When Daniel glanced at the photo, he was surprised to find that it was himself. He voluntarily walked up to the leader of the bodyguards and said, "Let me go first." The leader was taken aback, never expecting someone to volunteer for inspection. He smiled and said, "Not bad!" But as he spoke, he began to feel something was off. Daniel’s height, build, and even his ears resembled the person in the photo."Why are you staring?" Dan
Although Daniel tried to conceal it, Sophia still noticed some clues. However, she only thought that Daniel had some connection with the Gordon family, but she didn't think he was the young master of Gordon’s family. After all, after being influenced by her preconceptions, Daniel was still the useless son-in-law of the Hughes family. It seemed unlikely to elevate him suddenly.Daniel had already prepared himself for when Ms. Grimwald came to see him, and he had a plan to escape. However, he waited for an hour and no one came. He ordered takeout for two people, and after they finished eating, Daniel returned to his room.When Daniel lay down to sleep, he reminded himself to sleep lightly in case of any sudden situations. The next day, he woke up without incident. After another meeting in the morning, Daniel and Sophia could return to Sunshine. Therefore, Daniel stood outside the gate, appearing somewhat vigilant and serious.However, there were no incidents during the meeting that day
"Are you bragging? One billion, you can almost buy the entire company!""Could it be a scam? Who has the kindnessto invest one billion?""Let's wait and see, we just want to see a joke!"For a while, everyone looked at Daniel and mocked him again.Daniel glanced at these people, without showing any expression of liking or disgust on his face. Instead, he wanted to go out and ask Eddison Dong about Violet’s situation and see if there were any developments in the past few days.Dong was on duty and practicing gecko skills. When he saw Daniel coming, he quickly put away the bricks and stood up with a simple and honest smile."Daniel, you're back?""Let's go outside, I have something to ask you."Eddison was not there, so it was probably not his duty time.Dong followed Daniel to a tree outside, scratching his head somewhat awkwardly. "Is it about Violet?""Yes, is everything okay?""There's nothing wrong, but I feel that the atmosphere over at the Yakuza is a bit off, so I went to check
One morning, Daniel was still sleeping when he heard his phone vibrating and ringing on the bedside table. He grabbed the phone and impatiently asked, "Who is it?""Guess who?" came the reply."Miss Grimwald, where are you?""I'm at the Sunshine Airport. I'II be arriving at the company soon. Please wait for me."Daniel quickly got up, didn't even have time to change out of his pajamas, and called Sophia, saying, "Get ready. Miss Grimwald has arrived at the airport and will be here soon."Miss Grimwald was the person who wanted to invest one billion into the company, so Sophia naturally took it very seriously and informed the company's senior executives and staff, including Gwen, Ethan, Michael, Camilla, Julie, John, Hilary, and Joseph.Therefore, early on, the company’s lobby was already filled with company executives andstaff.After an hour of preparation, Daniel said to Sophia, "We're still missing a red carpet."Only then did Sophia remember and quickly asked her staff to prepare
Miss Grimwald and her companions walkeddown the red carpet and arrived at the car. As she got in the car, she turned to Sophia and said, "Ms. Hughes, I will be staying in Sunshine for two days. Since you are sincere, please come to the airport to see me off at 9 a.m.Sophia replied with a pious expression, "I will come to see you off in person."Miss Grimwald looked at Daniel and said, "Well, both you and Daniel should come to see me off."As the car sped down the road, Miss Grimwald's assistant said, "Actually, Miss Grimwald doesn't have anything to do. She just doesn't want to be with people like Ethan and Camilla.”"Miss Grimwald praised her assistant.Miss Grimwald's assistant felt as if he had eaten honey and said, "If Miss Grimwald wants to see Daniel again, she can release some news saying that she is looking for Daniel in Sunshine. Archer, Mark Holmes will come to Sunshine to meet you, and Daniel will come to rescue you. This is a way."I leave this matter to you miss Grimwal
Not long after, Archer, Mark Holmes, and their surviving subordinates were all escorted out of the hotel with gifts. Miss Grimwald vented in her room. "Daniel, why did you only send your special forces team and not show up yourself?" "Is it because the play with Sophia is real, and you dare not offend her?" "Who is she? Without my investment and help, I believe she will always be a frog at the bottom of the well, with no hope!" "Or, you don't have any ambition anymore and just want to be a useless son-in-law in the Hughes family!"Miss Grimwald made a fuss for a long time until her assistant came to persuade her: "Miss Grimwald, although Daniel didn't show up today, I can guarantee that he will show up in person on the day you board the plane." "Why?" Miss Grimwald asked with no confidence. "Because Daniel still has some concerns about the King of Assassins, and he will worry about you, " her assistant Jack replied. "Hmm, I trust your words, " Miss Grimwald felt slightly comfort
Daniel had been staying in the hospital with Violet, thinking that he could handle it alone. So he said to Auntie Claire, "Auntie Claire, you can go back home. Sophia also needs you to take care of her."Auntie Claire looked at Daniel and Violet, who got along well and agreed, "Okay, but if Violet’s condition worsens, please let us know."After Auntie Claire left, Daniel calmed down and became like a father to Violet.Meanwhile, on Sophia's side, she received a call from her college classmate, Amayah.Amayah was Sophia's college classmate. In the last incident, because of Daniel’s appearance, Luis and Amayah were embarrassed. Luis also left all his business in Sunshine business at that time, and Amayah’s plan to use Luis to climb back up in the business world failed.Sophia was still a bit wary because of that incident, as Amayah might have some revenge in mind."Sophia, this time it's just a gathering of a few female classmates. Don't bring your useless ex-husband turned bodyguard Da
