Chapter 1436
"Cornelia, spill it” Steven said, "Sure, the Duran family is mighty powerful, but your grandpa's got his own fish to fry.You can't always count on your grandpa's connections and influence to pull strings for others."
Cornelia just smirked, not giving him a response.
She waved him off and went on her way.
She knew her grandpa had his own stuff to handle, so she would avoid bothering him as much as she could.
The only time she cashed in on her grandpa’s clout was to rescue Hannah.
If she hadn't stepped in, Steven would have come home to a corpse.
The whole Skyler incident was ages ago, but it was still fresh in Cornelia’s mind.
She kept thinking if only she had done a bit more, and if only she hadn't backed down because of all the gossip, would Skyler still be alive? But there was no use crying over spilled milk.
Daniela's arm got wrenched out of its socket by Steven.
She had a doctor pop it back in, but her rage was still boiling.
The hospital exit to their parked car was just a hop, skip, and a jump away, but she had already cussed Hannah out more than a hundred times.
Once in the car, she gave the woman in the driver's seat a sour look.
"I wasn't even in the car yet, and you're already lounging around.You don't give a rat's ass about anyone else"
This woman was the fake nurse who had visited Hannah's hospital room.
Her name was Florrie, a pal of Daniela's since childhood, and always had Daniela's back.
Florrie said, "I didn't come to get you because I didn't want to blow my cover.Don't sweat it, we'll get back at that bitch soon enough"
At the mention of Hannah, Daniela’s rage flared up.
"Steven actually dislocated my arm for that woman, Hannah, completely disregarding the dignity of the Dixon and Salazar families.Unless Hannah drops dead in front of me, I'll never cool off"
Florrie said, "Daniela, you're too soft-hearted.You wanted me to quarrel with that woman, but I think it's a waste of time dealing with Hannah like that.I think, let me just take her out with one strike.Steven cares about that woman so much, right? If she dies, let's see if Steven will follow her to the grave. novelbin
Daniela said, "You think I don't want to end that woman's life? You think I don't want to see Steven's pained expression?"
Florrie said, "If you also want to do that, why won't you let me act on it?"
Daniela said, "That's Steven's turf.First off, you can't get a knife in there, and secondly, acting on his turf would definitely leave evidence.
As long as he finds evidence of me committing murder, he won't let me off easily, and might even use the evidence to blackmail the Salazar family.
Florrie scoffed, "He blackmails the Salazar family? Your father and brother love you dearly; they might actually be threatened by Steven"
Daniela chuckled.
"You're wrong, it's not what you think"
Florrie asked, "Then what is it?"
Daniela continued, "Over the years, I've been out doing whatever I want, and no matter how much of a ruckus I cause, my brother always cleans up after me perfectly.But think about it, who have I pissed off? Isn't their background always inferior to the Salazar family? They can't even pose a threat to our family"
Florrie knew the score, but sometimes you had to play dumb.She pretended to ponder.
"Seems like you're right."
Daniela said, "I'm not a fool.I know what I can and can't do.I know who I can hang with and who I can't.Everything I do is within the control of my brother and the Salazar family.
Once I step out of line, if it comes down to me or the Salazar Corporation, they'd definitely choose the corporation.
Florrie asked, "Daniela, what are you talking about? Let's not even mention that this will never happen.Even if it did, your father and brother adore you, they would definitely choose you."
Daniela let out a cold laugh.
"Are you part of the Salazar family, or am I? Are you telling me you know my father and brother better than I do?"
