“Please have some self – respect.
Don’t make me intervene.”
Make It Up to You Jolene was incredulous that someone would dare to talk to her like that.
She stared at Eustace and Danika, realizing that neither of them respected her as the daughter of the Zellweger family.
It made her feel like a joke.
“Okay, fine! I’ll remember you.”
Jolene seethed, trying to restrain herself.
She didn’t know Eustace’s identity, so she didn’t dare lay a finger on him.
Nonetheless, she wouldn’t let him off the hook so easily.
If he was just an ordinary person, Jolene had already thought of a hundred ways to end him.
She left the store with a cold snort, and her friends followed suit.
Since Jolene didn’t dare confront Danika, neither did they.
Once they were gone, Danika and Eustace were left alone, and the place became quiet instantly.
Danika stared at the box.
She didn’t seem as happy as she had appeared in front of Jolene.
“What does he mean? Does he really value me that much?”
Danika asked.
Danika didn’t think she was special in any way.
She was no different from Jolene as she was also a daughter.
Since Jolene grew up by Graham’s side, he had all the reasons to like Jolene more.
Eustace looked at the box in Danika’s hand, suggesting, “Maybe he’s genuinely trying to make it up to you.”
“Make it up to me?”
Danika chuckled.
“Unfortunately, that’s the last thing I need.”
If Graham had appeared in her life earlier, perhaps she wouldn’t have been so hostile to him.
Unfortunately for him, it was too late now.
“Danika, it’s alright.
It’s completely up to you.
I can protect you without him anyway,”
Eustace said, not wanting Danika to feel burdened.
Hearing that, Danika chuckled.
You are as confident as ever.”
She didn’t know where Eustace’s self-confidence came from.
They were in Bardoff City, where the Quincey Group only had a branch.
Their company was incomparable to the big shots in the region.
Where did Eustace find the courage to promise he could protect Danika? Nonetheless, Danika kept those thoughts to herself because she knew Eustace only wanted the best for her.
“Don’t worry.
I’ll keep my word.”
Knowing that Danika was planning to move her company’s headquarters to Bardoff City, he began to make the corresponding preparations.
In the past, he was content being treated like royalty in Parrington.
However, in the present, the reality of his situation made it clear to him that he still had alot to do.
There was no point being treated like royalty in Parrington if he couldn’t protect his beloved.
Danika put away the box and changed the topic.
“will you attend tonight’s event?”
Eustace nodded.
Although the Quincey Group only had a branch office in Bardoff City, they were still on the radar.
“Shall we…go together?”
Danika suggested.
Eustace shook his head, saying, “On an occasion like tonight’s, you should go with your father.”
Many people would be paying attention to Danika.
If she appeared with Eustace, they might look down upon her.
Perhaps she wasn’t bothered by it, but Eustace wouldn’t allow that to happen.
Danika didn’t insist on her suggestion.
“Alright, then.
I guess we won’t be going together tonight.”
“It’s alright.
I’ll see you there.”
Eustace smiled at her and reached out to smooth her stray hair.
When his fingers touched her cheek, their hearts began to beat faster.
Danika raised her head to gaze at Eustace, and there was something electrifying in the air.
Her Intentions The distance between their lips began to close.
Suddenly, Danika’s phone rang, jarring them from their trance.
Danika faked a cough to hide her embarrassment and answered the call.
“Hello? Yes, I’m ready,”
she said to the caller.
When Danika hung up and turned to Eustace, she found him looking at her with a smile on his face.
Her cheeks were still flushed from embarrassment, and she averted her eyes, saying, Well, the driver is coming to pick me up soon.
I have to get ready to go to the venue.”
“Great.”
Eustace nodded.
Compared to Danika, he was actually much calmer.
Although he felt it was a pity they were interrupted, he wasn’t in a hurry.
Danika waved at him before walking out of the salon.
Eustace watched her get into the Zellwegers’ car and waited until the car pulled out of his sight before he walked out of the shop.
Inside the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Danika regained her composure.
Looking at Graham, she said, “Actually, I can go by myself.
You don’t need to come with me.”
“You’re my daughter.
Of course, I want to be with you.”
Without him by her side, only God knew what other people present at the event would say about her.
