Not A Small-Town Girl

----

"Cheryl, is this what you told me about your relationship

with David that could be further developed?" Tim spoke in

an indifferent, yet majestic tone as he put down his coffee

cup.

"Grandpa, David and I are fond of each other, but Danielle

Darling has been pestering him. I have no chance to get

close to him. Please trust me this time."

Cheryl tried her best to defend herself, fearing that she

would become a worthless person in her grandfather’s

eyes. If she lost her status in the Locke family, her family’s

status would also decline in the Locke family.

Seeing that Tim hadn’t said anything, Cheryl couldn’t figure

out what he was thinking. Just as she was about to say

something to defend herself further, Tim replied

emotionlessly, "Yes."

----

When Cheryl was about to feel relieved, something

annoying happened in the next second.

“Grandpa, you don’t really believe her nonsense, do you? If

David really has feelings for her, knowing his character, do

you think Cheryl needs to flirt with him? He would have

made a move long ago. She’s really bringing shame to our

family’s reputation."noveldrama

“Nina, are you just jealous because you can’t have David?

Don’t tell me you have a crush on him too, and you can’t

bear to see us having a good relationship."

Cheryl was so angry that she wanted to give Nina two tight

slaps. Why was she everywhere? No wonder Grandpa

didn’t like her. She talked without using her brain.

Nina sneered, "I know my place. Mr. Charrington is not

someone I can control."

Cheryl wondered what Nina meant by that statement.

Cheryl realized that Nina was implying that she didn’t know

her place.

----

Cheryl thought, "You were the one who provoked me first,

‘so don’t blame me."

"Nina, you are insulting the entire

Locke family! Although our Locke

family is nokas powerful as the

Charrington family, it is the second~

most powerful family in Soufield

How ¢an you say that the childfen of

our,kocke family are not worthy of

t harrington family? Don’t you

think you are turning against our

family by saying things like that?

----

"Grandpa, you,heard it with your own

ears. She daréd to look down on our

family in front of you. I can’t imagine

what shesays behind your back! @n

the surface, she is mocking mesBut

actually, she is mocking the whole

faraily, as if we’re not even worthy of

being servants to the Chartington

family."

----

Cheryl put on a sincere look and glanced at Nina

disappointingly.

Tim frowned. When he was young, he and Logan were

business rivals. They had since fought for half their lives.

Logan had nurtured David into a business prodigy while

none of Tim’s children could hold a candle to David.

This was also something that Tim had been thinking about

all these years and had not completely let go of. Now that it

was brought up, it touched a nerve. Tim had to become

more powerful than the Charrington family and find a

suitable heir before he died.

Nina listened to Cheryl’s words. She was blatantly

listorting the facts and blaming her. Cheryl wanted to

instigate her grandfather to punish Nina and not let her get

her way.

----

‘Grandpa, I have been wronged. You are the wisest person

in our family. You have just heard what Cheryl said. She

has twisted the facts. I just don’t want her to go after David

as he has a fiancée. That would damage the reputation you

have worked so hard to build for our family.

"I think Cheryl has always dreamed of marrying into the

Charrington family. In her heart, she despises our family.

That’s why she said what was on her mind in a moment of

desperation!”

----

Nina’s words came out of her mouth

like a maching gun. Previously, no

matter what Cheryl said, Nina had

been indifférént. Since her return —

this timezshe talked back to Chey?

Cheryl Aad really underestimat Sd

Nina.Furthermore, she heard-that

Nina was also planning to jain the

Lecke Group recently. Cheryl

wondered if Nina was planning to

step on her to climb up the

corporate ladder. In Cheryl’s opinion,

Nina wasn’t worthy.
