"There's a reason behind his actions. He sponsored the military equipment purchase and invited the military officials to attend the anniversary party. He did these things for me, didn't he?"
Complicated feelings surged in Daisy's heart. She didn't know how to describe how she felt. Edward had done so many things in secret for her. Usually, she would be angry that he had kept everything from her. But at this moment, she wasn't upset at all. Instead, she felt warm-hearted. Was this how it felt to be doted on by Edward? He removed all the barriers for her and never talked about his plans to her. All he showed in front of her was his sweet concern. Sometimes, he pleased her through flattery.
"The sponsorship cooperation started before you were reported anonymously. We discussed about it during our meeting. At that time, we thought the president of the FX International Group was strange, because he didn't state any terms that would be advantageous for his company. He only reserved rights for one requirement. As for what he wanted in detail, none of us knew. But he promised that his requirement would not pose any threat to the army and cause any problem. He said it would just be a minor requirement. Now, I understand him. He reserved the rights for you."
The commander had a high opinion of Edward. He was young, but he managed such a big company. What's more, FX International Group was well-developed in every aspect under his management. Though it was a family business he took over from his father, it couldn't have developed into such a grand tycoon without his clever brain and diplomatic shrewdness. The FX International Group was currently part of the top 10 most powerful corporations.
"I don't know. He didn't tell me about it at all. I only found out about the sponsorship the day before yesterday." Daisy grew slightly flustered. She had talked with Edward about it yesterday morning. Although she had been a little aggressive at that time, she didn't blame him for it. She just didn't like it when he kept things from her. She understood that it was his unique way of protecting her. But she preferred to face all difficulties together with him instead of being under his protection.
Kevin's heart jolted at Daisy's words. This was how Edward loved her. He had spent a lot of money on a project for Daisy and he did it discreetly. He chose not to let her know so as not to trouble her. What a considerate man! All of Edward's actions showed his care and love for his wife.
Kevin knew that Edward was arrogant and domineering. He was extremely rich and was a resourceful and astute strategist in the business world. He was so particular that even his way of caring for and loving his wife was so unique. He must love Daisy deeply in his heart.
"Yes, Daisy. Now you know everything. Actually, the military officials should have been aware about your situation. Despite this, I'm afraid this video has to be handed in in order to reveal the truth and prove your innocence. Besides, the investigation department has been keeping an eye on this matter. If we don't show them the video, they'll never let it go."
The commander knew Daisy was kind-hearted. If Hank crossed her, there was a high possibility that she would let it go. But Hank was a narrow-minded man. He was worried that Hank might keep setting her up in the future, so he brought up handing the video in without waiting for Daisy's opinion. Sometimes, a commander's suggestion was more like a decision. In this case, Hank wouldn't be able to do anything similar in the future.
"You can deal with it by following the standard procedure. I don't have any opinion about this." Knowing that this was the result that Edward wanted, Daisy agreed with the commander's decision despite feeling pity for Hank. Edward would be disappointed if she chose not to hand the video in. He was the most important person in her life. She didn't want to see him unhappy. Besides, he had done all these things for her sake.
Good. I'll handle it later. As for Hank's punishment, we aren't certain. But judging from the cooperation between Mr. Mu and the military, I'm afraid that Hank won't get away with a slap on the wrist."
Hank had been working for him for a long time. Although he wasn't satisfied with him in many respects, he still felt some sympathy for him and didn't want him to end up with nothing. Though he was narrow-minded, he made a great deal of effort to reach his present position.
"He's supposed to know the consequences of his actions when he decided to do it. He should have no one to blame but himself. Commander, don't feel sorry for him." Everyone knew that Hank always gave Daisy a hard time. Kevin took a scunner against him because of it. He didn't feel sorry for Hank at all. Everything happened for a reason and Hank deserved what's coming to him. Kevin held no sympathy for Hank in any way.
Commander, I'll respect whatever the officials decide on. I don't have anything to say as long as I can be proven innocent. As for the details, I don't want to worry too much about it."
As a colleague, Daisy knew clearly how difficult it was for Hank to be in his present position. He must have strived a lot with his own sweat and blood. She wasn't the kind of person who hit a man when he's down. Although he was the one who started it, everything was moving along the projected path. Daisy decided not to be stubborn about it.
As for Jessica, since Edward already had this video, he must have known that Jessica had something to do with it. Daisy didn't know how Edward would deal with Jessica. Would he be merciful to Jessica because of their history? Daisy didn't care about it. It wasn't important to her. What she wanted was simple. As long as she could stay with her husband and son and live a happy life together, she would be satisfied. She didn't want to trouble herself with irrelevant things.
Meanwhile, Edward was looking out the thin glass window. He watched the clouds float across the sky. He was bored with his lonely life in the hospital. There was nothing he could do as a patient. He fiddled with his new cell phone. It was one of the latest mobile phones with a modern and unique design. But he wasn't used to it because there weren't any pictures of Daisy in it and he couldn't save one as the screensaver. He wanted to see her beautiful face every time he unlocked his phone. Now, the phone was just a cold electronic product to him. He'd rather watch the changing clouds in the sky. It would be more interesting.
Mr. Mu, Luke caught Edward's lonely face when he came in. He knew Edward must be feeling quite bored in the hospital. Otherwise, he wouldn't be showing such a dull and lonely expression. Luke anticipated that he would grow bored, so he went back to the hospital as soon as possible. But he first went to the suburbs after handing the video in, afraid that his men might torture Paul Du to death. Before everything was clear, he didn't want him to die.
Yes! you're back. How are things going? Edward tire his gaze from the clouds. He already anticipated the result. Although Daisy looked cold and indifferent, her soft heart might make her forgive Hank if he begged her. That was why he deliberately didn't tell her about it. He didn't want Hank to get away without any punishment after all the things he had done to set Daisy up. Hank was a sinister man who deserved no mercy.
