"She must be very beautiful. Otherwise, you must have forgotten her already." As Edward said, he met that girl in his boyhood. Daisy thought it must be about 10 years ago as Edward was still very young. So the girl must be a young and active teenager at that time. That's why Daisy felt a little unhappy when she was told something about this encounter. She could sense Edward had a crush on her.
Maybe!" Edward never had a chance to meet her after that, so he didn't know how that girl looked like now. Was she attractive or not? He didn't even ask what her name was, which was also a regret to him.
Daisy chewed her lower lip. She didn't know what to say. She rested in his arms, and fell asleep immediately. Daisy woke up early this morning, because she had passed a wakeful night. After such a tough day, she felt really exhausted now.
Edward saw that Daisy was silent. He looked down on her to see what's wrong. He smiled as Daisy was sleeping in his arms like a baby. Edward loosed his arms and put Daisy's head on his laps, so that she could feel more comfortable.
"Mr. Mu, can I turn the temperature up?" Luke saw Daisy was asleep in the driving mirror. He was worried that she might feel cold. So he suggested adjusting the temperature in an undertone.
"No thanks. I will cover her with my coat." Edward said while doing so. Daisy really needed rest after such a long day. So he did everything gently to avoid waking her up. Edward didn't feel surprised to see that she fell asleep so soon because he knew what she had gone through today.
Edward moved a wisp of her hair aside, so that he could see her beautiful face clearly. She looked so sweet in a deep sleep. Moreover, today she wasn't as cold as she used to be. Edward looked at his gentle wife with a tender smile. Daisy never showed her weakness and it made Edward's heart ache to see she was strong all the time. As he was powerful and attractive, every woman tried to get close to him. But Daisy was different, remote and cold, attracting Edward's attention. That's why Edward started to get to know her and finally fell in love with her.
At first, Edward was interested in her, because Daisy was the first woman who kept ignoring him. They didn't start out as a couple, but Daisy grew on him. Suddenly Edward realized that Daisy had become a part of his life and he couldn't live without her. That's why he went ahead and pursued her. Edward was wondering how she could capture his heart so easily, without throwing herself on him like most other women did. Was it because she was this hot? Or was it because there was something special about her, such as her aloofness?
Luke, any news about Paul?" Edward looked up to Luke.
He has been trying to reach Yakira, but failed as you know Yakira was arrested by the police. Actually Mrs. Mu did her a favor by putting her in jail. Otherwise the two must have got a chance to meet each other."
Luke sighed silently. He thought his boss wouldn't tell Daisy the truth until Paul and his cousin met. But instead Edward told her everything as soon as Luke set Paul free. That's how the whole plan reached an impasse.
Well, I should have been more careful." Edward frowned. He didn't expect that Daisy would react violently to what she was told and lose control of her emotions. But what they didn't know was there was something more horrible in the S City awaiting them.
"Mary, why did you ask me to come out in a rush?" Even though Jessica came down in the world, she never thought about being nice to Mary. After all she was from a well-known Lin Clan and was much better than Mary, a stepdaughter. There was no need for her to be kind to people beneath her.
"Jessica. I bet it doesn't feel good to be Cinderella." Mary wouldn't let go any opportunity of despising Jessica, even though she could be thrown out of her home at any second. Jessica held herself aloof all the time and never thought about being nice to anyone even though her family business went broke.
"If you come here only for putting me down, then sorry I am too busy to talk to you." Jessica squinted at Mary with the laughter. 'How does this bitch ever look at herself in a mirror? How could she capture Edward's heart with such an ugly face? Edward is way too good for her,' Jessica thought to herself. Mary thought she perfectly concealed her lust for Edward. But what she didn't know was that her eyes betrayed everything when she looked at Edward.
"Oh my gosh! You are too busy to talk to me? Didn't your family company go bankrupt? So are you okay with your kid being born without a father?" Mary sneered.
"It's none of your business. I won't let that happen to my kid." Jessica stroked her swollen belly. Even though her pregnancy wasn't obvious, you could still tell that she was a mother-to-be after watching her belly carefully.
"Well, it's hilarious. Edward will definitely deny your kid. I am wondering whether he really is your kid's father. Otherwise, why would he just deny your kid when he could accept Justin from no where? Maybe you were knocked up by some other man and want to keep Edward with you so you are using this kid. And you didn't expect your plan not to work."
Mary sneered as Jessica's face went pale with rage. She was pleased to see Jessica was mad. Jessica asked for this because she was mean to Mary all the time. Mary finally proved that she was in no way tender.
"Mary, I am not as shameless as you. Do you remember what you have done? It is so nasty that I don't even want to mention it. In the S City, everybody knows you are a whore and would go to bed with anyone. How could you think that you can be Edward's woman? Don't you know he is a clean freak? He will never get close to someone like you. And for his lips, no one can touch them. How could you capture his heart?"
Jessica retorted. She wouldn't let anyone put herself down as Mary just did, so she bit back at her with more nasty words. Jessica looked at her rival with cold eyes. She cared for her kid so much. But Mary just used Jessica's kid to attack her. The bankruptcy of her family business never turned Jessica into a softie. Mary was just a stepdaughter of the Ouyang clan and had nothing to show off. Jessica talked to her only because she could use Mary to attack Daisy.
"What did you just say? You are a whore and a single mother-to-be! Everybody in the S City knows you are the one whom Edward dumped! You have nothing to show off! How can you still talk to me like this? Do you still think you are the noble princess Jessica?" Mary became mad because Jessica mentioned something she was really scared of deep in her heart. So she burst into rage and yelled at her, attracting much attention.
Even though I am far from being perfect, I am much better than you. You are nothing but a shameless whore. You are even not good enough to lick Edward's shoes!" This was the fight between women. They attacked each other with the most venomous words they could think of.
Then what about you? Are you good enough? If so, why did Edward abandon you after Daisy came into his life? It seems that you are not as good as Daisy." Remembering what happened day before yesterday, Mary became furious and gritted her teeth. If it had not been for Daisy, Edward must have had sex with her since Mary was so good at turning men on. If that happened, Jessica wouldn't be able to put her down now.
Do you really think Edward will be in love with her forever?" Jessica sniffed. 'Edward is a clean freak. What if Daisy has sex with others before him? Will he still love her?' Jessica thought to herself.
"So you finally realize that it is Daisy and not me who is your biggest rival?" Mary sneered. 'Jessica, I am glad to see that you are so jealous of Daisy. Go attack her. When you two are busy bringing each other down, I can get close to my beloved Edward,' Mary thought to herself.
Mary, without further ado, tell me when will we act up to what you said last time." That's typical of Jessica. She would cooperate with anyone to get everything she wanted no matter how evil the person was.
"We can act anytime. But I am worried whether you could afford to pay for it since your family business is bankrupt." Mary raised her hands and blew air on them. She was pleased with the nail polish she used before going out as it flattered her tapering fingers, making them look fairer.
Don't worry you won't miss my part. FX INTERNATIONAL GROUP took over the Lin Group and its debts as it attacked the Lin Group to death. So now Jessica and her family didn't have to pay in full to its creditors. This allowed them to keep a part of their money and enabled Jessica to lead a fairly good life as long she wasn't extravagant in her living.
Jessica thought Edward didn't destroy her because he still valued those days they spent together. But truth was that it was Daisy who saved her. Edward was badly wounded at that time and Daisy ran into Rain when he went to the hospital to give Edward those files. Daisy felt sorry for Jessica because she was pregnant and said some nice word to Edward for her. That's why Jessica could still survive. But Daisy never expected that her kindness could put her in trouble.
