Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde

Chapter 322

Margaret had just disembarked from her flight. Before she could head back to the Turner family, Winona intercepted her along the way.

Margaret felt somewhat helpless. “Winona, what’s the rush? I haven’t even had time to recover from the jet lag

As she spoke, she massaged her temples.

Margaret was the eldest daughter of the Turner family, one of the renowned evervale four great families. She was also the older sister of Ethan. While she and Daniel were not childhood friends, they were part of the same social circle and knew each other.

Winona remained silent for a while before responding.

“She simply thought it was unattainable, so she took a step back and assumed the role of a protector,” Margaret explained.

“Back in those days, Daniel was incredibly charming. Who wouldn’t be drawn to him?” Margaret added with a fond smile.
