Before Jeremy died, Danielle and Chandler were expelled from Barton Group. After that, Adriana also issued an order that Danielle and Chandler were forbidden from entering Barton Group. Without her approval, Danielle had no way to get inside.

“Let her come up.”

Kenneth looked uneasy. “Danielle is cornered now. I’m worried she might react desperately.”

Kenneth was concerned about Adriana’s safety.

“She won’t,” Adriana shook her head.

Danielle was not like Natasha and the others. She still had a small trace of conscience left.

Especially now. Her dignity had already been torn apart for everyone to see. She would not be foolish enough to sacrifice her life just to make Chandler and the others look better.

She also understood clearly that Chandler, as her father, had always treated her like a tool.

Danielle felt surprised before she walked into the office. She assumed Adriana would refuse to see her.

After all, this was the Barton Group branch office in Haldoria.

“Did you come here for something?” Adriana looked at Danielle with mild surprise.

Danielle looked terrible. Her face was pale, she clearly had not slept, and her eyes were swollen and red.

“You want to get Mister’s secret from Savannah, don’t you?” Danielle spoke directly.

“I do,” Adriana admitted without hiding it.

“She won’t tell you. Savannah is a snake,” Danielle said as her hands tightened. “Adriana, I admit it. I envied you, because I couldn’t accept the truth. I believed I wasn’t worse than you. I thought I deserved love more than you did, deserved to manage Barton Group, deserved to be valued by Grandpa…”

Danielle’s breathing faltered.

She had believed those things with complete conviction.

Before Adriana returned to the Barton family, Danielle had always worn the proud title of Barton heiress. “That pride blinded me So when the man I cared about chose you instead of me, jealousy drove me crazy When I realized I meant nothing to the grandpat tried so hard to please, I wanted you dead…”

Adriana watched Danielle quietly. The words she spoke today sounded sincere.

“I helped Chandler and Mister do many terrible things…” Danielle’s voice turned rough. “Because I’m not like you. I had no chol no one to shield me, no one willing to stand behind me if I hadn’t been ruthless, I wouldn’t have survived until now

She never believed growing up in an orphanage meant Adriana’s life was uniquely miserable, because her own childhood had

never been easier than Adriana’s.

“Back then, I don’t know the details about how Chandler killed your parents. I had just been born (only learned fragments taler

from Chandler’s talks with Mister. Mister was the one who suggested killing your parents. He promised he would find a way to help Chandler return to the Barton family and convince Jeremy…

“Chandler was a blade in Mister’s hand. Mister would never discard that blade easily. And me? I was nothing more than Chandler’s pawn. The medicine Chandler switched for Grandpa to try to kill him… I didn’t know at first. I discovered it by accident. I struggled. I thought about telling Grandpa. But so many times I saw Grandpa holding your parents‘ photo and whispering your name again and again… and I couldn’t speak. I even had a dark thought. If Grandpa died and you never came back, would everything in the Barton family belong to me? Would I finally become the Barton heiress and never be looked down on again…”

Danielle’s voice grew rougher. She had done many wrong things, and she did not deny them.

She believed she was destined for hell.

Adriana’s fingers tightened slowly as she watched Danielle carefully. “Who exactly is Mister?”

All the cruel things Danielle admitted did not weigh heavily on Adriana. Danielle had never killed anyone herself, and she had not directly participated in the murder of her parents. She was only a pitiful pawn.
