Not A Small-Town Girl
Chapter 33-2

Ben hurried to follow, excitement on his face. "Miss Darling, were you hypnotizing the suspect?"

"Mm-hmm." Danielle hadn’t felt like directly questioning him, so she just hypnotized him instead.

Ben’s excitement grew. He’d never seen such a skilled hypnotist before. With a snap of the fingers, the suspect was out cold. "Miss Darling, who taught you that? It’s impressive."

"Taught myself," Danielle replied coolly.

Ethan and Joseph had been watching Danielle from the observation room.

Joseph was stunned by her composure and skill. ’Hypnosis? And so effortlessly? She’s full of surprises. There’s so much about her I don’t know. But as long as she doesn’t want to share, I won’t push her.

At first, Ethan thought Danielle was just curious about the suspect. He was shocked when she hypnotized him. ’If we could recruit her to the force, solving cases would be so much easier,’ he thought.

As Danielle approached, Joseph glanced at her and said, "Danielle, let’s head back."

Ethan, eyes gleaming, watched Danielle and said, "Miss Darling, I saw your interrogation. Would you consider joining us as a special consultant?"

"Not interested," Danielle replied coldly.

Ethan, undeterred by the rejection, continued, "You wouldn’t need to come every day-just when we have major cases. We offer the best benefits."

"I’m busy and don’t need the money," Danielle replied.

Seeing Ethan about to continue, Joseph stepped in. "Ethan, Danielle is busy, and our family wants her to live peacefully and happily."

Ethan, realizing there was no hope, nodded. "Well, if you change your mind, Miss Darling, the offer stands."

"Thanks, Ethan," Joseph said with a polite nod. "We’ll be leaving now."

"Audrey, how was your first day at the company? Are you tired?" Vivian asked, her face full of tenderness as she looked at her daughter. Today was Audrey’s first day interning at the company.

Audrey smiled sweetly. "Mom, I’m not tired. And everyone knows who I am, so they’ve all been so kind to me. I almost feel bad about it."
