Not A Small-Town Girl
Chapter 45-2

"Mr. Morris, you’re indeed a step ahead in everything. If you hadn’t prepared a substitute for me in advance, I would have been killed by Hades."

If Danielle and David were present, they would tell from a glance that the speaker was none other than Jackson, who supposedly had died from a headshot wound.

"They believe that you’re dead. You can now move about freely and get things done more easily," Hugh said expressionlessly.

It was a pity that the stunt double they had meticulously trained had died. It would be hard to find another stunt double who looked so similar to Jackson.

Jackson said, "When did Hades and Shadow join forces? Now that our Wulf Clan has been annexed by these two factions, I must take revenge."

David sized up Danielle in his arms. He did not continue to interrogate her when he saw that she was reluctant to tell him the truth.

He was okay with her having some secrets as long as she didn’t put herself in danger. They still had a long time together ahead of them. One day, he would know everything about her.

Curious, David asked, "The Shadow Fortress was founded four years ago. You were still a minor at that time. Why were you at the border?"

Danielle’s eyes dimmed at the mention of this. She lamented, "It’s a long story."

When she was eight years old, Lucy punished her
