Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde

Chapter 27

When it came to David going to Gorshire, there had been some room for reconsideration initially, but

not after all these things had happened. Now he had to go.

Now that the matter had been decided, plus his body suddenly drained of strength, he was no longer in

the mood to go to college and spent his days loitering here and there.

Despite having gone to the hospital a few times for examination, no anomaly had been found, and both

the doctor and the rest of the Taylor family felt that it was a psychological effect.

Because he was upset about having to go to Gorshire, he started having random thoughts and

hallucinating that he had lost his strength.

Liam and the others were very disappointed in him, feeling that he had become a habitual liar, making

up laughable excuses like getting weak to avoid going to Gorshire.

Who would get weak for no reason unless it was due to illness? And he had been to the hospital many

times. Even the hospital’s dean had said that David was fine, so what was he whining about?

Thus, the last bit of sympathy that the rest of the Taylor family had towards him had faded.

At home, David felt so aggrieved that he could almost go mad. No one here believed him. Even Emma,

whom he had trusted the most, was treating him half–heartedly now.

She had disbelief clearly written on her face, yet verbally, she said, “Okay, okay, don’t be angry, I

believe you, alright? You’ve lost your strength and become a little princess…”

With a boom, David suddenly stood up. The movement was so drastic that it shook vigorously as he

bumped into the table.

He really could not tolerate the child–coaxing tone that Emma was taking with him now.

Paying no more attention to her, David raked his fingers through his hair in frustration, then ran outside.

However, after running a few steps outside, he stopped again. Though it was clearly and infinitely open

outside, he had a feeling of having nowhere to go.

Having realized this, David felt even more frustrated.

He had no other place to go!

At that moment, the phone in his pocket rang.

Picking it up, he asked, “Who?” He was in a terrible mood, so his tone was neither friendly.

“Hoho, who made Mr. William angry?” The voice from the other end sounded mocking.

David furrowed his brows tightly. He knew this voice. It was Jackson Clark, whom he did not get along

well with back in school. Back then, Jackson liked a certain girl, and confessed to her with a lot of

fanfare, yet in the end, the girl ignored him and pursued David right after that. Jackson felt that his

dignity had been trampled upon.

How could Jackson take such humiliation? So he went straight to David for a showdown.

And David obliged. The two had a solid fight, and David viciously beat Jackson.

The Clark family was no less influential than the Taylor family. It was just that they were mainly based in

Nebuland, not Evervale. And so here in Evervale, they could not outshine a local power like the

Taylors.

After that defeat, Jackson became sworn rivals with David, and the two would try to resettle their

scores every now and then.

Clearly, nothing good was coming out of this phone call. Being in a poor mood and having no desire to

bother with it, David was about to hang up the call when Jackson started provoking him further, igniting

David’s anger with just a few sentences.

It just so happened that David had frustrations to let out, so he went straight to the place Jackson

mentioned.

“You’ve come?” Standing over a pool table, Jackson made a shot with his cue stick, then raised his

gaze to glance at David.

David leaned against the pool table, folded his arms before his chest, and said harshly, “What did you

call me here for? Talk!”

“Let’s have a match!” Jackson gestured with his chin, signaling the people around them to put the

billiard balls back in proper position. “You’re going abroad soon. I won’t be able to see Mr. William in

the future.”

David’s expression darkened. “Are you mocking me?”

“Oh, I wouldn’t dare!” Jackson grinned cheekily. “I’m nowhere capable enough to get exiled by the

family like you, Mr. William.”

As Jackson finished that sentence, David’s fist landed on the tabletop. Jackson glanced at it briefly,

then harrumphed coldly, “What happened? It’s been a few days, don’t tell me Mr. William has

weakened? The table didn’t even shake. Your strength isn’t working?”

He sinisterly stepped forward, made a fist, and playfully bumped it against David’s chest.

Frustrated, David raised a hand and made to push Jackson’s hand away, but… try as he might, he

could not do it.

Upon seeing this, Jackson’s grin grew happier. “So Mr. William has really lost his strength. I thought it

was just a rumor.” Jackson laughed out loud for a moment, then his expression suddenly became cold,

and he grabbed David’s collar straight away, staring at the latter with a stern gaze. “Today, I’ve got

you!”

Then he threw David to the ground and clapped. “Come, let’s give Mr. William a lesson! Today, I’ve

booked this whole place. No monitoring, and it’s all my people around here.”

His tone was extremely malicious. “Today, we will not let him leave until we’ve beaten the arrogance

out of him!”

The people around them slowly closed in. David had a calm expression but was starting to panic

inside.

This was the first time he felt afraid.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of what Olivia had said. “Do you know… what it feels like to have

neither strength nor power?”

So, this was what it felt like.

It was like a fish on a chopping board, about to be butchered.

David hugged his head and squatted down.

It was the only thing he could do.

However, the expected punches did not land. There was only a chuckle… from Jackson.

David lifted his gaze and looked over to see Jackson sitting on the tabletop, resting his arms on the cue

stick and examining David through squinted eyes.

It was a gaze David had never seen before. He had never seen Jackson like
