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 posed a question, “Margaret, were you aware that Daniel is engaged?”

“Is he engaged?”

Margaret’s hand, which had been massaging her temples, came to a halt. A hint of bewilderment briefly flickered across her initially composed countenance.

pause, she smiled and replied, “Why wouldn’t I know? It’s been such a big spectacle that the whole world probably knows by now.”

Winona toyed with the pendant hanging from her phone with her fingertips and said casually, “Margaret, there’s no need to conceal it. I know you had a crush on Daniel as well. You admired him during your school days.”

Upon hearing this, Margaret didn’t display the nervousness and embarrassment that Winona had anticipated. Instead, she remained remarkably composed.

Is having feelings for Daniel such an extraordinary matter?”

At this moment, she let out a chuckle. Her radiant countenance made it challenging to discern her inner thoughts.

This is quite ordinary, Margaret remarked. “In our school, at least eight out of ten girls had a soft spot for him. As for Sarah, she’s been sticking by you and Daniel. She keeps saying she wants to safeguard your relationship with Daniel forever. Does she dare to claim she feels nothing for him?”

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