Desires Die Hard

Take Your Seat Over There If You Don't Want To Get Hurt

"That won't do." Dan could be gentle to everyone except Judy.

This woman stood on his uncle's side to hurt David for a few benefits.

He couldn't put up with it no matter how good his temper was.

"Dan, it's too much!" Judy's face turned livid after she was turned down by him. Her fair fingers were instantly clenched into fists and she stared fixedly at him.

"You should have thought of this when working with my uncle to go against grandpa," Dan replied coldly.

Judy was rendered speechless.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

He had no idea about how she was threatened. She wouldn't have returned to the Halls if she had another choice.

And nothing that followed wouldn't happen.

Judy knew that he wouldn't show any sympathy to her and she didn't want to say anything. She couldn't tolerate being with him.

Therefore, she didn't want to get her permission but ran towards the door while biting her lip.

Dan was astonished to see her run out without his permission.

Anger surged and he threw the laptop aside. He stood up and strode over.

He reached out to grab her slim wrist and said harshly, "I dare you do go out."

"I'm going out! I'm done staying with you, it's suffocating!" Judy didn't care. At most, she would be killed here.

Though she was afraid of death, she had no other way out now that things had become like this.

She didn't want to stay for another second.

Perhaps it was the first time Judy had expressed her disgust, Dan's eyes turned gloomy. He tightened his grip on her wrist and almost broke it.

Judy gasped out of pain.

Dan, however, didn't show any mercy. "I rarely do this to a woman for you insisted on working with my uncle. Judy, I gave you a chance to stand on my side, but you didn't!"

Judy's eyes moistened and she sobbed, "Some things are not what I think them to be."

"But you go against us with your actions." Dan didn't have the patience to explain. "Sit over there if you don't want to get hurt."

Judy wanted to argue with him, but she knew that it was her who picked his uncle over him.

Her explanation wouldn't work.

Therefore, she didn't say anything. After struggling out of his restraint, she sat back on the sofa.

Just as she sat down...

Judy couldn't help bursting into tears because of sadness.

Dan froze on the spot upon hearing her cries. His heart was softened and he wanted to say something. However, he couldn't say it out.

Instead, he walked over, took some napkins, and threw them at her.

Then, he sat opposite her, picked the laptop, and continued to handle his matters.

A night soon passed.

The night in Salmia was long and the sky was still bright even if it was six in the evening. The sunset glow gradually occupied the sky.

Brightness slowly faded away and the sky turned dark.

It was time for dinner.

Everyone gathered at the specially constructed open-air dining hall.

There was a table that could accommodate dozens of people, a large parasol, wooden railings, and a great place for overlooking the sea.

Such an environment would make one more appetizing.

They randomly sat at the table.

The butler instructed the chefs to serve the dishes.

Due to a lack of manpower, Gracie went to serve as well.

When she brought the dishes to the table with other maids, Evan took notice of her. "Gracie, come and eat with us. You don't have to serve us."

Gracie was a little timid. She was afraid that she would disturb them and she shyly shook her head. "I'm good."

However, after she said this, Anya looked at her and Evan.

She put on a look of wariness and confusion.

Evan noticed that and explained, "She is Gracie Hancock, my comrade's sister."
