"Although I don't live in the suburbs, I work on the military base, it's far from here. Got a problem with that?" Daisy squinted at Mary. She wore her uniform today, so she sat up straight, as a good soldier should. She looked very spirited and there was no trace of laziness in her image.
Okay, I'll drop it. I only want to know why you caused problems between my mother and my father. Do you still want to come back to our house? Do you think it possible?"
Mary turned the cup in her hand and stared at Daisy in an aggressive manner, her eyes full of contempt. She hated Daisy to the core. Why she was always blessed by the gods? Why did she easily get all the nice things in the world? First, she was born into a good family. Then she got married to a handsome man and became the mother of an adorable boy. What was more irritating to Mary was that Daisy climbed up to the high position of a Colonel at such a young age. All these were something she couldn't get even if she toiled and struggled for her whole life, while Daisy getting them so easily as if they were at her fingertips. How could she not feel envious, jealous and hateful?
Your house? Huh! As a Colonel, I don't miss that dirty place at all! Why do you think I'd even want to?"
Although she said it easily, she felt very sad in her heart. Mary said "my father", yes! From the moment when Mary and Yakira entered the house, Daisy's father had become Mary's father. Daisy couldn't remember any moment that she could feel her father's love for her since they came. So Mary was right. It was Daisy's fault to still hold onto the sweet memory she enjoyed in childhood, even her relationship with her family had come to this hopeless point.
Since you don't miss the place, why did you start trouble between my parents by saying that my mother took 500 million from Edward's family? Do you think you're really worth such a huge amount of money?"
Mary hummed with a sneer and looked at Daisy closely from head to toe, showing a disapproving and contemptuous look. It was true that Daisy had a good family background and had a good look, but Mary still didn't believe that Edward's family would spend 500 million on the marriage. It was an exorbitant amount.
I have never thought that I could be measured by money. Are you saying that you can be bought by the pound? As for whether your mother has taken 500 million or not, you'd better ask your mother yourself. Because she was the one who said it."
Daisy took a sip of the coffee the waiter served moments ago. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Mary with derision. Mary was obviously pissed off. She looked furious as if she wanted to swallow Daisy raw and whole. In Daisy's eyes, life couldn't be measured by money. People should learn to treasure life, only by doing so would they show respect to life. So Daisy would never play with her life, not to mention gambling on other people's lives.
Bought by the pound? Are you calling me a prostitute? You're not hot stuff to me. Even if you are a Colonel, you're nothing but a humble maid in my house!" Mary failed in her attempt to insult Daisy, on the contrary, she was degraded by Daisy's remarks. Mary felt resentful. In her eyes, Daisy was always the girl who swallowed the insult. But when did she become so eloquent?
Humble maid? Miss Ouyang, do you mean I should be grateful because you took my place? It is hardly possible for a crow to become a phoenix, but for a princess to be reduced to poverty? That couldn't be easier. I'm curious why a noble person like you would want to meet humble person like me. Aren't you afraid that you will degrade yourself by speaking with me? You have such a superior identity as a noble princess."
Daisy said ironically. She didn't care whether she would irritate Mary with her sharp remarks. She sneered while raising her eyebrows. There was even a playful smile in her eyes. It seemed that after being with Edward for a long time, the innocent Colonel Ouyang was influenced by Edward and had also become wicked.
You bitch, do you think that I really want to see you? Who do you think you are? If you didn't try to ruin our family, if you didn't cause problems here, do you think I'd be willing to speak to you?" Mary was enraged by Daisy's words. This woman had belittled her enough. She began to speak without thinking.
You bitch! What makes you think I'm a bitch? I'm a Colonel, I earned every accolade. Did I steal other people's fathers? Or their husband? Aren't these the things you and your mother excel at?" Daisy said coldly. Within a second, Daisy already crossed the table in front of her, her tender fingers firmly grasping Mary's lower jaw, her eyes glaring at Mary ferociously.
Daisy, what are you doing? Are you going to beat me up right here? Aren't you afraid that you'll be punished by the army?" Gazing at Daisy, she could see the colonel had a sinister look on her face. Mary was frightened. She couldn't imagine that the cruel woman before her was the Daisy she knew. Daisy used to be a very weak and vulnerable maid in her house. And she felt horrible, Daisy was like the evil god Sura from Hell.
Punish? I'm a Colonel, do you think anyone will trust you? Do you think that I will be punished because I beat a woman who insults a military officer? What can you if I send you to jail today? Let alone beat you here. You'd better watch your vicious foul mouth, or you'll quickly find a bullet in your head.
It was true that Daisy's attitude was imperious, but she really had the ability to mess with Mary. If she really became ruthless, it was a breeze for her to get rid of her. It depended on whether Daisy was willing to dirty her noble hands to do it.
