Savannah’s expression turned even uglier. She had already been furious over the fact that Mister had handed control of the Harrison Group over to Silas, and now her anger had reached its peak.

She was in a passive position now. No matter what she did, she came out on the losing end.

After grinding her teeth in anger for a while, Savannah wiped the water off her face, turned around, and stormed off.

“Goodbye. Don’t bother coming back.” Adriana smiled and waved at Savannah. Danielle couldn’t help but laugh when she saw how badly Savannah had been shut down.

Savannah shot Danielle a vicious glare. She couldn’t afford to offend Adriana right now, so she shifted all her attention and hatred onto Danielle. On top of that, Danielle was now staying at Justin’s place, and Justin treated her differently.

“I’ve already spoken to Silas. For this project, they’ll be sending a different person in charge.” Adriana looked at Danielle. “Since you’re an employee of Barton Group, Barton Group will be responsible for your safety, and for you as an individual.”

Danielle nodded. She felt grateful, but also awkward, unsure how to express it. “Thank you.”

“You’ve seen it yourself. The people who once stood on your side are the same ones who bite you the hardest when you fall. That’s why becoming strong yourself matters more than anything else.” Adriana looked at Danielle, didn’t say anything more, and left.

Danielle let out a quiet sigh. For a long time, she had lived under the identity of the Bartons’s heiress, and she had almost forgotten that this was how people were. Everyone avoided harm and chased after benefits, always going after the easiest target.

Adriana had gone from an orphan everyone could step on to where she was today. It hadn’t all been luck.

Of course, luck had been an important part of her life, but when it came, she had made the most of it.

Danielle sat in her chair, her fingers unconsciously digging into her palm until red marks appeared.

She had been lost in jealousy and hatred for so long, thinking Adriana had only gotten where she was by relying on Curtis and a bit of luck.

But when she really thought about it, fate had given her more than one chance. When she returned to the Bartons as a teenager, Jeremy had truly wanted to keep her, but she hadn’t cherished it. When she was young, she had met Justin–gentle and warm–and they had grown up together as childhood friends. All that good fortune had fallen into her lap, yet she had pushed him away herself over that pitiful bit of pride.

She had talent in painting and design, but instead of working hard and improving herself when it mattered most, she had thrown all her energy into family conflicts and fighting over shares.

A bitter smile tugged at her lips, Danielle felt like her past self had been a complete fool, blinded and obsessed, chasing after that pitiful fatherly love, motherly love, and her grandfather’s approval.

Chapter 430 It’s Pathetic

It was pathetic.

She had never truly been her own person.
