"Just spit it out. What's the matter?" In many people's eyes, Daisy was always polite when she answered the phone. But this time, she didn't think it necessary to be polite to Mary. She even didn't want to pick up the phone. She picked it up because she didn't want Mary to constantly call her.
"Huh! Do I need to have a reason to call? What if I just want to talk to my dear sister?" Mary blew on her nail polish which was still wet on her nails. She was completely exhausted after a whole night's sex with Wolf. Feeling sore all over her body, she lazily laid back on the sofa and placed her slim legs on the tea table in an unsightly move. Obviously, she was drying her polish on her toes in the air, rather than relaxing.
"Since you don't have anything to say, I'm hanging up. I'm not in any mood to deal with you." Daisy was about to hang up the phone when she slowly walked out of the room.
"Wait, Daisy, don't you want to get your mother's belongings back?" Mary sneered as she reached out her hand and picked up the album from the table. Little Daisy in the album was dressed beautifully like a princess. It was a pity that she was reduced to a Cinderella in the end.
"What? My mother's belongings? But..." She became intrigued as soon as she heard Mary's words, her hand which was reached out to hang up the phone pausing in the air.
"Yes, if you want to get them back, come here. I will wait you at Tea Fragrance. But you can only take them by yourself. Remember, come here alone, don't bring anyone else." Finally Mary compromised and promised to carry out the plan by asking Daisy out by herself. She was so determined to win. No failure, only success for the plan.
How do I know that what you're saying is true?" Daisy was not stupid. She would not easily believe her words and immediately go out to meet her anywhere. If she guessed right, Mary called her because of Yakira. But she couldn't help being curious when she heard what Mary said about her mother's belongs.
"Haha, I knew you wouldn't believe me. Do you remember that your mother once had a delicate hairpin with carvings of a dragon and a phoenix?" Mary frowned. She was surprised that Daisy's mother was such an old-fashioned woman who liked decorations without any fashion style.
"Hairpin? Is it green? And with purple bead flowers scattered on it? Also hung with graceful tassels?" Daisy immediately got really excited. She knew it was something from her mother's dowry. Since "A Beauty's Tears of Blood" was the legacy of a highest-ranking imperial concubine, it was highly possible that this hairpin also belonged to her. She had been curious how come those things suddenly disappeared after her mother's death. It turned out that they were privately hidden by Yakira and Mary.
"Yes, it is such an ugly thing as you described. It is really strange why she kept those old-fashioned things like treasures. Besides the hairpin, there are other super old-timey decorations, nothing in the trend of modern fashion." Mary said while prodding other decorations in the small wooden box on the table, with a disgusted expression.
"Okay, what time can we meet? I'll be there. But my mother's things are not to be damaged, or the deal's off." Daisy bit her lip. Those were the things left by her mother. She didn't care about the property of her family, but for those decorations, they were the most treasured things when her mother was alive. Therefore, no matter what, she was determined to get them back.
"Okay, about 11 o'clock. I will wait for you there." Mary smiled cunningly and thought, 'Daisy, I knew you would be interested in these things. If you aren't interested, I really can't find any other excuses to lure you out".
Okay, I'm headed there right away," Daisy said as she returned to the bedroom and took off her long dress. She changed to casual clothes. The concept of the famous fashion designer was fully displayed on her figure. She looked elegant and graceful with the suit. The most important point was that it wouldn't feel strange even if she wore flat shoes.
In fact, she was very excited now. She was overjoyed in her heart at the thought that she could get her mother's things back soon. She was so excited that she wished it were now 11 o'clock, so she could see them immediately.
"Mom, hurry up. I know what games we are going to play." As soon as Daisy finished dressing herself, Justin ran into the room with an innocent smile on his face.
"Sorry, Justin, I have to go out to deal with something urgent. So sorry that I can't play with you today." Daisy bent down and planted a gentle kiss on his pink cheek, looking apologetic.
"Oh! What's the matter? Did you get a mission assignment? And what about your hurt feet?" Hearing Daisy's words, Justin's bright smile faded away. He was not as excited as he was when he ran upstairs.
"No, it's an appointment. It's okay with my feet. I'll be back soon. Stay home and play with your grandpa and grandma, okay?" Daisy said as she held his hand and walked downstairs with him. She was helpless that she had to disappoint him again.
"But they just left. Uncle Luke went to the office with Daddy today. Even Uncle Mark is not here, he went to joined in the trial performance of the new weapons last night. Justin puckered his mouth, was he going to be alone at home? It would be so boring.
