40- Hiding Something?!

♠ ♠ ♠

To celebrate Daniella's release from the scandal, Mr. and Mrs. Sullen, Daniella, and Paul had a family dinner at one of the most prestigious restaurants in the city. While eating, Paul has been very silent. Daniella noticed this and caused her to have an unusual feeling. Normally Paul would be the one who initiates the talking, Paul would always make a way to make her talk and have a conversation with him but tonight, he was rather silent.

" Babe? What's wrong? " Daniella asked. Paul didn't notice Daniella's call until her soft hands touched his.

" hmmm? " Paul glance at Daniella giving her a questioning look. Actually, after Paul left earlier from the Sullen's mansion he immediately went to the Hymlyn's estate. The Hymlyn Corp had accumulated massive damage but his father didn't demand him to withdraw from the engagement anymore. He was glad and wanted to celebrate with Daniella but before he drove back to the Sullens, he accidentally picks up the paper given to him by his computer geek friend.

After reading the words and seeing printed images on those papers, Paul had been in deep thought. Part of him doesn't believe it but another part of him thought that maybe it is true.

He couldn't forget the words his friend had told him earlier that morning.

"You've been out of focus since we got here. Is something the matter!?" Daniella asked softly. Worry evident on her face.

"Oh, it's just about the company. It's nothing big. " Paul excused. He doesn't want to suspect his fiance so he tried his best to forget about the papers. Not interested in probing further, Daniella decided to nod and continued their celebration.

After Dinner, Daniella wanted to home go with Paul for the night but for the first time, Paul refused and said he would busy with the company. Daniella thought to reward Paul but now the man was refusing her!? Although she was quite embarrassed about being refused, she smiled and acted like she understood.

Daniella went back with her parents and they later left in separate ways.

During the ride home, Mrs. Sullen suddenly talked scanning her phone.

"Your scandal had been completely forgotten. People are talking about the true person Mr. Mo is dating. The two were seen at a grocery store. " Mrs. Sullen said looking at a photo with Mo Laotian and Daniel on it. Daniella almost immediately took her mother's phone and stared at the screen.

Mrs. Sullen doesn't know, but Daniella knows it's Daniel the moment she saw the photo even if it's just the back showing on the picture.

'That slut is actually very capable. Even after losing his bastard child, Laotian is still willing to stay with him!?' Daniella thought as she unconsciously clutches the phone tighter against her hand. Although the rumor about her and Laotian was cleared, there were still people who still believed that she and Mo Laotian had a secret relationship. If people believe, it would be easier for her in the future. She could easily make up a story that people would buy.

" I'm sorry mom. I was just really happy that no one is paying attention to me anymore. " Daniella gave back her mother's phone and smiled sweetly. Completely masking the vicious expression she was just showing.

"It is better this way. Now, you only have to work on that inheritance. Your three cousins aiming for it so you better do your best." Mrs. Sullen said and agreed with her husband.

"Hmm, yes, mom." Daniella nodded but then her face suddenly looked saddened and Mrs. Sullen immediately noticed it. In Mrs. Sullen's knowledge, Daniella couldn't hide any emotions from her as Daniella is her beloved daughter, she believes she knows her daughter very well than others.
