"It's okay. I will go home to take a shower. What did Mark do? I saw him squirming through the 300-meter barbed wire alone at the training ground."
According to the past experiences, Kevin knew something was up. If Mark was doing the physical training alone, he must have made an unforgivable mistake and so Daisy had to punish him. What mistake did he make this time?
"He deserves it. It's a well-known fact that Hank is an expert in saving face, yet, he offended him. He just asked for trouble." Daisy knew that Mark was quite right and he didn't mean to contradict Hank, but Hank didn't think so.
"It doesn't matter. He has been idle for a long time. He needs some exercise lest his skills may not be as good as before. What's his punishment this time?"
Kevin was curious about what Mark's punishment was this time. Daisy always punished him in different ways, so Kevin was prying to know more about it.
"A full set of daily physical training. Am I being too cruel?" Daisy pushed the door open and walked in. Kevin followed her behind. She hadn't given the answer he wanted.
Wow, it's a really strict punishment. After he finishes, he will be tired out." Kevin leisurely sat down on the couch as if it was his office.
If I didn't punish him, do you think Hank would let him go? I will make some tea for you." Daisy turned to look back with a frown.
Don't bother. I will leave now. I bet you have a lot of work to do. I won't bother you. By the way, has Mr. Mu recovered?" Kevin gave a soft smile. He sat cross-legged casually and cozily.
Yes, he has recovered very well. He was discharged yesterday afternoon. Thank you for your concern." Daisy gave Kevin a cup of warm water with a bright smile. She felt warm at the mention of Edward.
Glad to hear that he was discharged from the hospital so soon. He must have strong resistance to illness." Kevin took a sip of water. He detested his feelings in the face of Daisy's winsome manner at the beginning, but now he had become accustomed to it.
Indeed. It was a bit beyond my expectations." Daisy was also confused about this. Ordinarily, any patient who had undergone the thoracotomy procedure couldn't be discharged so quickly, but Edward left the hospital as approved by Tom. Daisy didn't ask any questions. Going to the hospital every day had wearied her.
"Anyway, it's a piece of good news. I will go home. Carry on with your work." Kevin placed the cup on the tea table and stood up.
"Okay. Take a break before you resume work. Or you may run off your legs." After Edward got injured, Daisy began to feel worried about the people around her.
Okay. Don't worry." Kevin walked away with a contented smile. He knew he couldn't fall in love with Daisy, but he enjoyed her occasional care. He didn't have any extreme demands. He cherished these small opportunities to get along with her.
Daisy bit her lip. After she discovered Kevin's love for her, she always felt sorry. No matter what kind of feelings he had for her, she would definitely let him down. She was faithful in love, so she didn't have feelings for any other man.
By now, Edward had already commenced his first plan after leaving the hospital. In a casual dress, he appeared in front of Luke. He looked handsome no matter what he wore. The clothing fitted him perfectly, giving him a dashing look.
Mr. Mu, are you going out?" Luke asked. Edward was discharged from the hospital yesterday. And he was already beaming and buoyant in spirits as if he wasn't hospitalized before.
Yeah. Didn't you say yesterday that Yakira would appear in Tender Whispers? Let's go meet her there." Edward grinned evilly. This chased away his depression from last night. After he listened to the recording, he asked Luke to keep watch on Yakira's movements. He had to know her well before he could defeat her.
Mr. Mu, you have just recovered." Luke was worried. He didn't know if it would lead to something wrong. He was not a doctor. If something unexpected happened, what would he do?
"Relax. I just want to alleviate the boredom. Let's go and pick up Leena." Edward thought to himself, 'Yakira, you have enjoyed a carefree life for a really long time. It is time to make you suffer, or you will ruin my happy life."
Okay, Mr. Mu." Luke was also disgusted with Yakira's ugly features, but he didn't understand why Edward was involving Leena in this. He knew he shouldn't ask why. Edward must have his reasons for this.
Luke chose Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost today. Speeding in phantom-like silence, it boasted quick and powerful acceleration, smart and humanized control, and comfortable and quiet operation. It was suitable for Edward who just left hospital yesterday. However, it was used very rarely because its cost was enormous. With a price of 1.55 billion, it was a favorite of the royal family. Less than ten such cars could be found in the world.
The gentry who drove the Silver Ghost felt like they were riding the devil. Nothing could be more ecstatic than this. Anyway, Rolls-Royce presented to the world the taste and style of royalty. Perhaps only its legends would be spread in the future. Rolls-Royce was the product of an era. Without the real grandeur, there was no Rolls-Royce. It created the nobility, and it was also the last nobility.
The car attracted everyone's attention on the way. For them, its all-silver reflective color and inherent royal quality were within sight but beyond reach. Well, it should be said that they could hardly witness it.
Edward, why did you suddenly ask me to go out for lunch? It's still early." Leena got in the car with a sweet smile. She had been thinking about this question after hanging up the phone. She couldn't figure out why, so she asked Edward as soon as she got in the car.
It's not early. It's the right time. Let's go." Edward stroked Leena's hair. He was quite satisfied with the dress she was wearing. This would be really helpful for his next move.
Well, you didn't have breakfast this morning, right? Why did you ask me to wear a tube top skirt? The weather is a bit cold." Leena had a puzzled look on her face. She didn't know what Edward was up to.
How about now?" Edward took a coat and draped it over Leena's shoulders. Then he took out a charming necklace from his pocket and carefully put it around Leena's neck.
Edward, this necklace is stunning. But why should I wear it? Don't you think it's a bit old-fashioned?"
Leena stretched out her hand to feel the blood-red crystal like a drop of water. It was enchanting and tempting. She felt as if she was touching blood. She trembled with fear and didn't dare to touch it again. However, when it was against her skin, she didn't feel its cold texture. Instead, it merged with her body temperature, which made her feel curious.
It's certainly old-fashioned because it's an antique. Its owner was the highest-ranking imperial courtesan of the Qing Dynasty. It has a very beautiful name, A Beauty's Tears of Blood. Daisy likes it very much. Don't lose it, or she will be mad at me."
Edward looked grim. Daisy had an obsessive look when she stared at the necklace. She loved the necklace and Edward equally. He wasn't sure what she would prefer between the necklace and him.
If it is Daisy's favorite, why did you have me wear it? Don't blame me if it goes missing. I don't want to take the responsibility for you." The necklace was beautiful, but the thought that it was a funeral object made Leena's hair stand on end. She had watched many time-travel TV series. The leading female actresses went back to the past because of some ancient objects or insignias. Leena wondered, 'Will I be ill-fated and get transported back to the Qing Dynasty?'
It is hard to say. I have to protect myself from something unfavorable. If that happens, I will have no choice but to make you the scapegoat. Anyway, Daisy won't do anything to you, but if anything goes wrong. she'll be harsh on me."
Edward was as rude as ever. He went so far as to make these thoughtless remarks. If Hank was shameless, then Edward was as bold as brass.
Please take off the necklace. I don't want her to hunt me down with a gun. I will be exhausted. Moreover, I am not planning to go abroad any time soon. Please raise your hand high in mercy. Don't involve me."
Leena was scared. She wanted to take off the necklace. She assumed that Edward gave this necklace to her for a specific purpose. But she shook in her shoes when she thought that she'd have to run for her life and live a wandering life if she lost the necklace. Before Edward dragged her into the mire, she had to save her life.
Leena, I know you are an outstanding fashion designer. Surprisingly, you are also talented in acting. How about joining the entertainment circle? The entertainment company under the FX International Group grows regularly. You can receive some training. I promise that I will make you famous."
Edward chuckled and grabbed Leena's hand. If Leena quit, he wouldn't be able to continue his plan.
Edward, don't make fun of me. The entertainment circle is dirty. Do you want to see me in the headline news in the coming days? It may say, Leena is taken out by someone born with a silver spoon in his mouth, or Leena's nude photos are made public. Let's leave these things aside. Do you think Duke will let you off?
With a naughty grimace, Leena politely declined Edward's request. She enjoyed her life now and didn't want to go to the bad. Moreover, she had more than enough money, so she didn't need to go that far. She was only posing, and she didn't really want to take off the necklace.
