Chapter 35
Danielle’s phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen -David was calling.
"Danielle, what happened with that car accident yesterday?" His voice carried a touch of worry.
‘How did he find out? I locked that news down immediately, she thought. 'Isn’t he overseas? His network is
impressive.’
"The driver's in custody," she said, briefly recalling the incident.
Before leaving, David had assigned his men to keep Danielle safe but instructed them not to disrupt her life. He
had too many enemies to take any chances. When his phone regained service today, he got the report about her

"Are you okay? Do you needto step in?" His voice softened.
"I'm fine, no need for help. It was Joseph's assistant driving my car." Danielle barely knew David; an arranged

daily, his nerves must be as wrecked as ours. Danielle, catching the slight shift in David's tone, kept her
response calm. "You're reading into it. I've got to go now. Bye."
"Alright," David replied, reluctant, before hanging up.
Hades Fortress.
David lowered the phone, his face darkening, any trace of warmth vanishing. His men straightened immediately,
not daring to meet his eyes. "Tell the police to make sure that truck driver regrets every breath he takes," he
said coldly. "And find out who's behind it."
Nathan gave a sharp nod. "On it."
