Susan’s face turned deathly pale in an instant, and her breathing grew quick and uneven. She looked at Justin anxiously. “Justin…. you can’t believe her nonsense. I don’t know why Danielle would suddenly accuse me like this. I really am the little girl from the orphanage back then. You must’ve already looked into it, right?”

Her face was full of panic, afraid Justin might believe Danielle’s words.

Justin’s expression remained cold and sharp, his eyes calm without much emotion. After Susan finished speaking, he nodded slightly. His voice softened, as if he were comforting her. “Don’t pay attention to her. She’s loved lying since she was little.”

Danielle’s steps suddenly froze. Her eyes instantly reddened as she turned back angrily to look at Justin. “Believe it or not.”

She had loved lying since she was little…

Justin’s words were like a knife, like a thorn, stabbing straight into the most fragile nerve in her heart.

That kind of thorn hurt the most, because Justin was telling the truth.

She did lie. She got jealous. Ever since she was young, she had tried so hard to make her grandfather like her…

She was a liar. From childhood until now, she has always been…

But this time, she really wasn’t lying.

Sniffling quietly, Danielle didn’t try to explain any further and walked away.

All her pride had already shattered the moment she begged Justin last night. Even so, her last shred of pitiful self–respect made her tremble uncontrollably.

All the way until she stepped out of Justin’s house, Danielle held back her tears.

But when she turned around and saw Justin’s butler closing the front gate, and Susan standing in the doorway with a smug smile. on her face, she couldn’t hold it in anymore. Tears burst from her eyes.

Maybe because she had lied so often growing up, even when she finally told the truth, Justin no longer believed her.

Turning away, Danielle didn’t know where she could go. If Chandler found her, she would surely wish she were dead.

Now she wasn’t worth anything to them anymore. But she knew far too many secrets about Chandler and Mister. Until they squeezed the last bit of use out of her, they would never stop coming after her.

Inside the living room, Justin quietly ate his breakfast.

Betty was a little surprised. She had thought Justin would never eat food cooked by someone else–especially Danielle. Not to mention Danielle had even mentioned poison.

Justin said nothing. He finished his breakfast quietly, stood up, and looked at Betty. “Take care of Susan. There’s an internal meeting at Barton Group tonight. I might be back late.”

Betty nodded.

“Justin…” Susan’s voice trembled as if she wanted to cry. She still tried to explain. “…”

“I believe you,” Justin said calmly.

Susan looked at him with deep gratitude. “Thank you, Justin…”

“Get some rest. If anything comes up, send me a message,” Justin said before leaving.

Susan watched him go. But the moment he was gone, her expression changed completely.

Clenching her teeth, she went back to her room and called Savannah. “That useless Danielle should be dead. She actually told Justin about our plan. Luckily, he didn’t believe her.”

“Danielle’s useless to us now. Her time’s up,” Savannah sneered from the other end of the phone. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure she disappears.”

After hanging up, Savannah immediately called Mister. Danielle had turned against them and told Justin about the plan, which meant there was a chance Mister’s secrets could be exposed.

That meant Mister and Chandler would be even less likely to let Danielle live.

Savannah and Danielle had never gotten along very well. If they hadn’t both been working for Mister, they probably would have fought over Justin long ago.

Both Danielle and Savannah had liked Justin since they were young. The only difference was that Danielle was too proud–she liked him, but she would never admit it.

Barton Group, Haldoria branch.

Adriana had just stepped into her office when Kenneth walked in. “Danielle is downstairs. She says she wants to see you.”

Adriana paused and glanced at the time.

Danielle wouldn’t show up at this hour without a reason.
