Chapter 47
David always felt that there was more to his mother’s death than net the eye. However, he had failed to find any conclusive evidence after all these years.
The plane flew for more than ten hours before landing at Treeside Villa.
David looked at Danielle who was sleeping soundly. He carried Danielle down the stairs, shocking everyone present.
Howard and Vivian didn’t know that Danielle went overseas with David. They had a feeling that Danielle and David had gotten a lot closer after this trip.
-When Audrey, who was standing upstairs, saw David carrying Danielle, she was green with envy and wanted to yank Danielle
out of David’s arms. Furious, Audrey wondered why everything that originally belonged to her became Danielle’s the moment Danielle returned to the family.
A glint of malice flashed across Audrey’s eyes. She figured Danielle had to die for everything to return to normal.
Audrey took out her phone and made a call. She said, “She’s back. I’ll give you another 300 thousand dollars. You have to act within three days. I want her dead.”
“Elliot, how did you end up coming back with Danielle?” Vivian asked gently.
Elliot replied, “My team was on a mission overseas, and Danielle and I coincidentally met. Since the mission had ended, we came back together.”
Elliot was thankful that his squad returned to the army base in another plane. Otherwise, Vivian would surely not be fooled and would get to the bottom of this.
Vivian exclaimed, “Lydia, you haven’t visited us for a long time. I missed you.”
Vivian really liked Lydia for her forthright attitude.
Lydia smiled and said, “Vivian, I missed you too. I’ve been wanting to visit all of you since I heard from Elliot that Danielle has returned to the family. However, I was busy with other things.”
Danielle was woken up by a gentle breeze that brushed past her face. She was surprised to find out that she had slept for so long and that they were home now.
“Are you awake?” asked David.
He added, “Do you want to sleep a little longer?”
David was practically pampering Danielle like his own child.
Love was clearly in the air. Howard and Vivian were astonished to see the interaction between David and Danielle.
Danielle was somewhat amazed. Usually, she was a light sleeper and would wake up at the slightest sound. She also often had nightmares and at most slept for a few hours every might. However, with David by her side, the quality of her sleep improved. She slept soundly.
Danielle said, “I’m awake now. Put me down.” She felt embarrassed being carried by David like a baby. Everyone’s eyes were on her.

David ignored Danielle’s request and asked. “Are you hungry?
Nope, Danielle answered.
“Let’s go inside the house. Food is ready,” suggested Howard.
David told Danielle. “Your phone rang while you were sleeping.
Danielle was shocked. People who would call her were all her confidants.
David added, “I didn’t answer it. But someone named Jason Carter sent you a financial report via email. I saw it by accident.
Danielle was processing the news.
“What? Isn’t Jason Carter the CEO of the Grace Group? If Jason is reporting to Danielle, wouldn’t it make Danielle the founder of the Grace Group?” Howard thought out loud.
He was walking behind David and Danielle and verheard their conversation.
Howard’s voice was loud and clear. He couldn’t help but exclaim out loud. He was astonished to find out that Danielle was the founder of the Grace Group despite her young age.
Danielle thought, ‘David has discovered many of my identities on this trip alone!
Danielle said nonchalantly, “Yes, I founded the Grace Group on a whim a few years ago. I didn’t expect it to become so successful.”
She was not downplaying her own efforts. She really hadn’t expected the Grace Group to flourish so well.
“Oh my god! Danielle, my darling, you’re really amazing!” Vivian exclaimed.
Lydia was also stunned. She had just accepted the fact that Danielle was Shadow, and now Danielle impressed her with yet another big title. Lydia praised, “Danielle, you’re good.”
Elliot added excitedly, “That’s right. Mom has been a big fan of Grace’s products ever since the company started.”
Howard and Vivian suddenly thought of something when they heard Elliot mention the Grace Group’s products. They had bought two large batches of clothes from Grace for Danielle previously.
As they recalled the details, they finally understood why Danielle didn’t seem very excited at that time. It turned out those were all products from her own brand.
Howard and Vivian made a mental note to be more careful when preparing gifts for Danielle in the future. Their idea was exactly the same as David’s.
The eyes of Maximus, Justin, and Luke lit up when they heard this. They would die to have an outstanding sister like Danielle. Even though they were not into fashion, the ladies in their families were loyal fans of the products of the Grace Group.
As Audrey was heading downstairs, she overheard the conversation. She was appalled to learn that Danielle founded the Grace Group, which was Audrey’s favourite brand. Audrey found this unbelievable.
“Dad and Mom, what are you talking about?” asked Audrey with a sweet smile.
“Audrey, did you know that your favorite brand, Grace, was founded by Danielle?” Vivian said proudly.

Audrey screamed internally. How is this possible? How old was Danielle a few years ago?
Suspicious, Audrey said, “Danielle, you’re really amazing. How old were you a few years ago? Where did you get the funds?”
Elliot thought of Danielle’s identity as Shadow and decided to change the topic. He said, “Let’s eat. Everyone’s starving.”
Vivian seconded the suggestion, saying, “Yes. Let’s eat!”
Throughout the entire meal, David took care of Danielle meticulously. This made Danielle feel as if David was treating her like his own daughter.
After dinner, the guests bid farewell and left the villa.

`Danielle walked David to the entrance and said, “We’ll go overseas to treat your grandmother in three days.”
After she returned from the trip to treat Tara, it would be time for school. Even though she saw no need to go through university again, she would do it because her parents were unaware of her previous academic achievements.
“Alright. Rest well.” David reluctantly got into the car.
Danielle watched as David’s car drove away before she returned to her room.
She read through Jason’s email. It seemed that starting a skincare line was the right choice. When she returned from her next trip, she would develop a series specially for sensitive and damaged skin. She was certain that the new products would be very popular.
The next day, Danielle was planning to go to the hospital to treat her grandparents.
They had been using her prescription for a while now. Danielle figured that they would be able to regain consciousness with another round of acupuncture and hypnosis.
“Good morning, everyone!” Danielle came to the living room and greeted everyone present cheerfully.
“Danielle, why are you up so early? You came back so late yesterday. You should rest more today,” Vivian said with concern.
Austin chimed in, “That’s right. You seem malnourished. You need to eat more.” He hadn’t seen Danielle for more than a week.
Danielle felt just fine. She argued, “I look just fine if not fatter.”
“How are you fat? You need to treat your body right with a balanced diet,” Joseph said.
Danielle found this interaction amusing.
Danielle announced, “Dad, Mom, Joseph, Elliot, and Austin, I’m going to the hospital to see Grandpa and Grandma today. They’ll wake up after the last round of acupuncture ¡oday.”
“Danielle, are you sure that Caleb and Alice will wake up today?” Howard was in disbelief.
“Yes, I checked their conditions before this. They’re recovering very well,” Danielle replied.
To the side, Audrey kept quiet. She had been wanting to find an opportunity to hypnotize Caleb and Alice, but the security at the hospital was tight. She did not get a chance to do so.

If Caleb and Alice woke up today, everyone in the Darling family would definitely be very grateful to Danielle. Audrey figured her status in the family would further plummet because of this.
Howard suggested, “Let’s all go to the hospital to see Caleb and Alice together.”
Everyone present happily agreed.
