“Of course. She’s just another woman. She should be honored to be admired by you.” Yvonne sneered in her heart when she saw the lustful creature before her. Did he really want to succeed the Dickmans like this? In his next life, perhaps!
“But… that woman is pretty hard to deal with.” Steven saw this as a problem. Danika wasn’t like other women-she couldn’t be swayed by money.
Yvonne leaned into his ear and whispered, “Leave it to me. I’ll handle it.”
Steven’s eyes lit up, and he excitedly said, “For real?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll send her straight into your room.” Yvonne smiled and said softly, “Don’t tell anyone about this. Including mom and dad.”
“Alright.” He would do anything as long as he could fuck Danika.
After Danika and Stephanie had their dinner, they went back to their homes. Little did they know that Danika was once more the target of the Dickmans. However, she need not worry. Unless she was up against a pervert like Eustace, she was good at self-defense. Few people could fight her.
When Danika arrived at the hospital the next day, Christopher walked into her office unhappily. ” Something’s happened in Bardoff City, Danika. I need to leave.”
“Alright. You can go,” Danika said.
“Aren’t you going to miss me?” Christopher was hurt by her lack of response. He thought that they had at least bonded a little.
Danika looked at him and said calmly, “Maybe. Bardoff City isn’t that far away. You can come back again. once things are settled.”
“That’s true.” Christopher thought what she said made sense, and he smiled at once.
Danika couldn’t be bothered to say much more.
“Call me if you need me. As long as the Spades are still under my control, I’ll definitely help you in whatever way I can,” he said.
Danika was dubious when she heard him.
Did this mean that she was forming a good relationship with the Spades?
Probably.
She didn’t think that her grandfather’s orders would be so easy. She always thought forming connections with these large families was a difficult feat. Apparently, she had overcomplicated things.
She considered it for a while and asked, “Do you know someone called Horace Wilkins?”
“Horace Wilkins?” Christopher thought about it and shook his head. “No. Who is he? Do you need me to find him? I can help with that.”
“There’s no need. He’s my grandfather. He’s already dead.” Danika was just curious to know why her grandfather was connected to these families and why he told her to form good relationships with them.
Christopher was a little embarrassed. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”
“It’s okay. I don’t mind.” She waved her hand, not the least bit concerned about it..
Christopher heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “Your grandfather? Why is he called Wilkins?”
“He said I didn’t inherit the family name.” Truth be told, Danika still didn’t know whose family name she had taken. All she knew was that she had to be a Zellweger. Her grandfather wouldn’t tell her the reason, even on his deathbed.
Christopher nodded, partially understanding. “There are no major families named Wilkins in Bardoff City. I wouldn’t know of any other Wilkins.”
“It’s alright. I was just confused. My grandfather was an ordinary old man. You wouldn’t know him.”
It didn’t take a genius to figure out that Christopher would only know the sons of the major families. As for her grandfather…no matter how hard she tried, she could only imagine him as a regular old man.
He wouldn’t be affiliated with the major families. But if that were the case, why would he tell her to protect herself and to form a connection with the Spades?
Danika suddenly felt a headache coming.
“If I can’t come to Parrington for the time being, will you come to Bardoff City to see me?” Christopher didn’t know what was on her mind. He thought that she was feeling sentimental.
Danika nodded. “I will. Go to Bardoff City, that is.”
But not to see him. She would go in pursuit of an answer.
Christopher was happy with her reply. When he left her office, a smile hung on his lips.
Danika had no time to dwell on it. The first surgery of the day would start soon. Once Christopher left, she got up and left the office, heading toward the operating room.
Yvonne came looking for Eustace early in the morning in Quincey Group. She couldn’t let go of him. More. importantly, her plan would be set into motion today, so she had to create an alibi for herself. “Eustace, why don’t we visit your grandfather today?” she said, looking at the busy man before her.
Eustace didn’t raise his head. “Maybe another time. I’m busy today.”
“Alright.” Yvonne was exasperated. “Can we have lunch together, at least? It’s been a long time since we’ve eaten together.”
Eustace looked up, his eyebrows furrowing. “Isn’t Dickman LLC about to collapse? Why aren’t you settling the trouble caused by Pearson and Gilbert instead of hanging around here?”
He thought that Yvonne was there to ask for his help. He had already thought of what to say to reject her, but she hadn’t spoken about it at all.
“My father has brought Steven into the company. It’s no longer my concern.” She smiled, but her heart.ached.
Eustace was quite understanding of Mr. Dickman’s behavior, so he couldn’t help feeling sorry for Yvonne. After all, they had been friends for many years. He didn’t like the Dickmans purely because of Steven, but he didn’t hate Yvonne.
He gathered his files and said, “Let’s have lunch.”
“Alright.” She smiled, feeling happy.
Oh, Danika. Yvonne and Eustace had known each other for many years. Danika could never compare to their relationship.
It was midday. Danika had just finished performing surgery and was leaving the hospital to eat at a nearby restaurant.
Not long after, a few men surrounded her. “If you don’t want to get hurt, follow us.”
Danika swept a gaze over her surroundings-there were a lot of pedestrians. She felt irritated. If a fight were to happen, these innocent civilians would be affected.
“Alright.”
As long as she wasn’t drugged, she stood a fair chance of fighting even after leaving the place.
The people seemed to not want to fight on the streets, either. They took Danika to a cramped alley at the back and brought a rope toward her.
“Are you going to do this yourself, or are you going to let us?”
Danika smirked. “If you tied me up in the street, you might have succeeded. But now…”
She didn’t know if she could consider them fools. They had missed such a good opportunity. How naive. of them to think that they could tie her up now.
However, they didn’t panic. “We know you’re good at self-defense. We’re pretty confident in our abilities, too.”
Danika frowned. Before she could dwell on their words, they attacked. She responded instantly, counter- attacking. They were pretty good but could not compare to her, and they quickly lost their bravado.
“If you come to the police station with me to rat out your leader, I’ll consider letting you go without consequences,” Danika tried to convince them while fighting them. She didn’t force them to tell her who was behind it. The only people in Parrington who would want to attack her right now were the Dickmans.
They said nothing, merely continuing to fight her.
Danika raised her eyebrows. Her gaze turned cold. Her movements sped up, and she instantly defeated two of her attackers.
Seeing this, someone roared, “What the fuck are you doing, Dill? Are you seriously going to let her defeat Us?”
