Danika looked at him without denying anything.
“Does it matter if I know? Is it important to you in any way? After all, you have more than one daughter.”
Perhaps Graham didn’t care much about Danika being his daughter, especially since she grew up in the countryside.If this were to spread, it would no doubt bring shame to him.
“Of course it’s important! No matter how many daughters I have, you are irreplaceable,” Graham said firmly.He didn’t understand why Danika spoke that way, but from her tone, he could tell she resented him.
We Are Not That Familiar
Danika sneered inwardly after hearing his words; she had no intention of arguing with him.
“Mr.Zellweger, you don’t need to tell me all that.I came today to ask you something.”
“Okay.Sit down first.Take your time.”
Graham didn’t know what she was going to say, but for him, it was good that he got to spend more time with Danika.
Danika didn’t bother with the pleasantries.She had a lot to say, so naturally, she had to sit down and take her time to say what she wanted.
With that, she walked over and sat on the sofa.
Graham noticed there was another person with Danika, but the person was wearing a mask, so he couldn’t see the person’s face.
Shortly after, his assistant brought in a tray of drinks.
The table in front of them was soon full of various drinks.
“I don’t know what you like to drink,” Graham nervously said.
That was the way the Zellweger family did things.
They had too much money to spare and didn’t skimp on showing their hospitality.
Since they didn’t know what Danika liked, they prepared one of everything for her to take her pick.
“I don’t have a preference,”Danika said indifferently.
“Mr.Zellweger, you don’t need to be so polite with me.We’re not that familiar.”
She wouldn’t just acknowledge him as her father just because he was a little attentive.
“Danika— “
“Mr.Zellweger,” Danika interrupted him and looked into his eyes.
Under her gaze, Graham was inexplicably stunned.
He didn’t speak and just listened to her.
“I came here mainly to ask you, Mr.Zellweger, how much do you hate me? For so many years, you’ve never come to see me and just ignored my existence.
Now, you even sent someone to kill me.
If you hate me that much, why didn’t you kill me back then? There’s no need to wait until I reach this age.”
As she spoke, Danika kept glancing at Graham.
Sure enough, after hearing what Danika said, Graham’s expression changed dramatically.
“What? Kill you? Who wants to kill you?”
Based on his reaction, Danika surmised that Graham didn’t know about it at all.
At that moment, she didn’t know whether she should be happy or not.Her biological father didn’t have the intention of killing her.She should be happy about it, but she had no energy to smile.
“Do you really not know?” Danika sneered.
“It seems you don’t have complete control over the Zellweger family.”
Graham calmed down and had already made his guess.
“If someone really wants to harm you, it must not have been someone from the Zellweger family.” He was very sure about it.
Although he never disclosed Danika’s identity, the Zellwegers could not have targeted her for no reason.If they did, it meant that the person had found out about something.If they’d found out about his and Danika’s relations, the Zellwegers would not act because they wouldn’t dare to.
“Is that so?”
Danika chuckled lightly and looked at Ash.She took off her mask upon seeing Danika’s signal.
Graham looked at Ash and frowned after he snapped out of his daze.
“Ash?”
“It seems that you know her.I’m afraid I would be dead by now if I wasn’t prepared.You should explain this to me, Mr.Zellweger.”
At that moment, Graham understood everything.
Ash was not a member of the Zellweger family, but because of Rowena, she often visited Zellweger Castle.
Graham knew her and knew she was skilled, but he didn’t expect Rowena to send Ash to kill Danika.She was really ruthless!
“I’m sorry, Mr.Zellweger,” Ash said.
Graham had always treated her well.
Other than that, she had no idea Danika was his daughter.
But would she not have done it if she knew? No, she would still do it because she owed Rowena a favor, leaving her with no other choice.
Feel Sorry for You
Both father and daughter remained silent for a long time.Just when Danika began to suspect that Graham would take Rowena’s side, he finally spoke up.
“I will give you an explanation about this matter.”
Danika looked at him and blinked several times.
“What kind of explanation? You’re not going to ask her to apologize to me, are you?”
Danika felt that Rowena was unlikely to apologize to her, and she really didn’t care about the apology.What use was a simple and inconsequential sorry that didn’t mean anything?
“What do you want, then?” Graham asked. He could tell from Danika’s expression that she already had her own plans.
Danika smiled and leaned against the sofa.
“What are you talking about? What can an ordinary person like me do to you? Even if you kick me out now, I can’t do anything to you, right?”
Before she came, she never thought that Graham would really stand up for her.She just wanted him to know about this matter so that at least there would be no peace within the Zellweger family.
“Danika, I really didn’t know about it.If I’d known, I would never have allowed her to do such a thing.”
Graham had no affection for Rowena, so he wouldn’t allow her to do something that would hurt his precious daughter.Nevertheless, Danika didn’t care about that.
“She’s your wife.You can’t just say you didn’t know and bear no responsibility over this matter, right?”
“Yes, you’re right.No matter what, she is still a part of the Zellwegers.Her mistake is my mistake.You can ask for any compensation you want.”
Graham looked at her, feeling extremely guilty.He’d already felt guilty for raising Danika when she was young; now, he felt even more guilty because Rowena almost caused her harm.
Graham really wanted to kill her, but he couldn’t do it right now.So, all he could do was compensate Danika.
That was exactly what Danika had been waiting for.She didn’t expect Graham to deal with Rowena in any way.
She didn’t think she was that important for him to take action.
“Really?”
Danika looked at him as if trying to confirm whether he really meant it.
Graham nodded.
“Yes, I’m a man of my word.I’ll promise you anything as long as it’s something I can do.”
“I want a cybersecurity company under Zellweger Inc, and I want to move into Zellweger Castle,” she said.
She’d decided on those things before she came over.
The cybersecurity company under Zellweger Inc was doing well and had unlimited potential for future development.
Danika wanted to expand her business empire, and a single fashion design company was clearly not enough.
As for her request to move into Zellweger Castle, it was purely to annoy Jolene and Rowena.
Graham was stunned by Danika’s request.He thought Danika would ask him to punish Rowena or publicly announce that she was a member of the Zellweger family.
Yet, Danika didn’t ask for that.
Unlike what he’d expected, she just asked for a company and to move into Zellweger Castle.
