Genius Girl-Chapter 142 - 142: The Surrogate

Chapter 142 - 142: The Surrogate

While putting the dishes in the dishwasher, Selena entered the kitchen.

Camille slightly dried her hand with the cloth and smiled at her.

"What do you want for breakfast?" she kindly offered though inside she wished to just be in her room.

Selena shrugged, "maybe toast," she said as she sat down on the chair.

Camille nodded and took some sliced bread, as she waited for the toaster to heat, she looked at Selena.

"I was thinking of making a burger for your uncle, does Daniella likes burger too?"

Selena turned her sight to Camille from looking at her phone, "yes, but please choose the bun without sesame, Daniella has an allergy."

Camille froze with what she heard, "whoa! That's a very strange allergy to have," she commented.

"Yeah, the last time our maid accidentally used sesame oil in her pasta, Daniella ended up in the bed for a week, her doctor said she can even die from it."

"I will make sure to not use the sesame buns for dinner," she said and turned around to put the toast in the toaster.

Camille took a deep sigh, she bit her lips to prevent herself from smiling.

--

In the poolside.

Staring at Danny's round eyes, Daniella smiled.

Next to her was Selena and Danny playing, they had just finished cleaning the villa when Danny came with his father Glen Hei.

Sitting down on the grass a few meters away from the pool, the boy got up and sat on Daniella's laps.

"Why do you smell like vanilla?" the boy asked innocently, moving his nose closer to Daniella's neck and sniffed her scent.

Daniella patted his head, "because I am sweating honey."

"Should we take a dip into the pool?" he offered.

Daniella shook her head, she rarely used the pool in the Su Villa and when she did, it's mostly in the night when all the people are sleeping.

"You should go with Selena, she's done burning her skin," as she said that, her sight turned to Selena who was laying on the blanket in her swimsuit.

"Do you have a swim trunk for me?"

Daniella blinked, there was no small kid in the house which Danny could borrow a swimsuit.

"None, just get n.a.k.e.d and go to the pool," she said casually.

The boy suddenly blushed and embraced himself.

Seeing the shy expression burning his cheeks, Daniella laughed, "don't worry, you're five years old, no need to be shy."

Daniella removed Danny's tie and soon unbutton his polo. She's about to remove his belt when the boy stopped her.

"I can do it."

Daniella withdrew her hands and folded his polo.

Selena got up, her body was itchy so she quickly grabbed Danny's hand and went to the kiddie pool.

Meanwhile…

In the study room.

Glen's face screwed as he read the papers in his hand. It was the doc.u.ments signed by Daniella transferring the 50% shares of the Island Bank to Evan Su.

He blinked his eyes in disbelief, "she bought the whole company for a dollar and sell half to you for millions?"

Evan – casually sitting down on the single couch opposite of Glen with his arms on the armchair and legs crossed, chuckled.

"Yeah, she made millions just last week."

Glen gulped hard and lowered the papers on the coffee table next to his tea, her head was tilted a little in perplexity, "how did she do that?"

Evan blew a sigh, "I have no idea though she said that she can't change the policy with her 50% shares" he paused and looked at the paper with the previous CEO of the island Bank signature, "that's why she bought it and changed the policy."

Glen shook his head, still amazed by how easy it was for Daniella to get the full ownership.

"My team will review this-"

Glen was interrupted when Evan lifted a hand in the air.

"I trust her Glen, no need to review it."

"This is business Evan, also, don't you think this transaction was too easy. I mean, she bought the company for a dollar."

Evan became quiet, not by his words as he already knew what really happened.

"I have read the doc.u.ments, Glen. She's Daniella, if she wants to harm my company, she would have done it a long time ago."

Glen gave up and just nodded. He neatly placed the doc.u.ments above the other papers he has in his suitcase and closed it.

"When are you planning to announce this?"

Evan smiled, "maybe on the company's anniversary day."

Resting his back on the couch, Glen nodded, "Daniella is so weird," he started as he reminisced the first meeting they had, "she asked me if I ever had surgery in my eyes before."

Narrowing his eyes, Evan focused on Glen. Daniella has mentioned it to him, how she couldn't read Glen and they have been friends since childhood so he can vouch that he never had any surgery and the last time he was at the hospital was when he waited for his son to be born.

Thinking that Evan blinked his eyes, "what about Danny's mother? Do you have a plan on finding her?" he suddenly asked. He had never done it before as he knew the answer but somehow, a small part of him was scared of the closeness between Danny and Daniella and how much the boy kept asking the woman to be with his father instead even though he's in front of them.

"The surrogate?"

Evan shook his head, "the real one."

Glen furrowed his eyebrows, "do you remember her now?" he asked after Evan was shot on the day they went on vacation, the man didn't have any memories of what happened on the island so he and Ken had decided not to mention it.

Evan once again shook his head.

"I think of her sometimes, but I don't even know her name only her brother and God knows how many people have the name, Danny."

Evan became silent, "anything that you remember about her? We can start from that."

Staring at Evan doubly, Glen crossed his arms over his chest, "her eyes were black, and her hair, it was so white but I think she's dead. The state she was in when we left her at the hospital" his heart throbbed, "I doubt she survived that," there was a slight regret in his mind from using the girl's eggs that he got from the laboratory to make Danny, especially the girl gave the permission to use it to someone else and right now, he's looking at him.
