"That's fine. I'm not in a hurry." Daisy reached out her hand and patted her long hair that was tied-up in a high ponytail. She looked outside, smacking her lips lightly to get rid of the foam that was left behind from drinking the coffee.
Mom, I'm done looking at all the photos. Finally, I know why you're so beautiful. You inherited my grandmother's good genes! And you were so cute when you were a small child! You looked elegant and noble like a little princess." As Justin spoke, he closed the album and carefully placed it in his bag as Daisy had instructed. He pulled up the zipper to close the bag tightly.
Hah! Little princess? Little devil, didn't you know that when your mom was a little girl, she was just a maid? How could you say that she was elegant and noble? Is there something wrong with your eyes?" When Mary heard Justin praising Daisy, she couldn't help but sneer in response. Despite all her efforts to be elegant, she always failed. Daisy possessed a kind of natural temperament that she could never achieve.
"Unlike someone, my mom is elegant inside out. Someone may think she is a princess because she's rich, but the ugliness she possesses inside makes her even inferior to a maid." Once Justin was in protective mode, he dropped all pretenses of being polite. He inherited his sharp tongue from Edward.
"Little devil, who are you calling inferior to a maid?" Mary glared at Justin in rage. She didn't expect someone as small as Justin would say something terrible enough to make her furious.
"I'm talking to you now. I'm obviously referring to you, old lady." Justin had no interest in the coffee. He only gave it a perfunctory glance before ignoring it completely. His small black eyes kept surveying the surroundings, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. Like Daisy, he also had a bad feeling about the situation. The cafe was too cold and cheerless. There were only two occupied tables, and the other table was near the door. The strangest thing about it was that the other table was filled with men. Moreover, they did not seem like nice people at all. After noticing this, his heart couldn't help beating faster. He didn't know if his mom also noticed the odd atmosphere.
"You... No, I'm not going to lose my temper. I won't fall so easily into your trap." Mary smiled smugly. This little devil could say everything that he wanted to now. Later, there would be plenty of opportunities to dispose of him.
"Why is she here?" Daisy asked. Daisy had also noticed that something was strange in the coffee shop. Because she was paying close attention to every detail around them, she quickly noticed Jessica's arrival.
"Of course, she's here. If she weren't here, how would you get what you came here for?" Mary followed her gaze towards Jessica. At the sight of the newcomer, she smiled smugly. Did Jessica think she was too stupid to figure out what she was actually thinking? Jessica had wanted to put her in the center of the storm and reap the benefits for her own without exposing herself. Things weren't that easy in the real world. This was the reason she made her come there. She wouldn't be so foolish as to let the woman take advantage of her so easily.
"When did you two become so close?" Daisy frowned. She didn't like Jessica's appearance. The woman was a lot smarter than Mary. It was more difficult to deal with her.
"We don't have to report our personal relationship to Colonel Ouyang," Jessica sneered. When Jessica heard Daisy, she retorted in an instant. She definitely wasn't easy to handle.
"It doesn't matter to my mom. We understand, birds of the same feather flock together. You don't need to explain to us," Justin piped in. Before Daisy could say something, Justin retaliated for her. He had both Edward's viciousness and Rain's mischief. No one could humiliate his mother in front of him. Otherwise, how could he worthy of Edward's trust?
"Little devil, I haven't seen you for so long. I can't believe that you're still as annoying as ever. I don't know if it's because of someone's bad education." Jessica glanced at Daisy, undoubtedly referring to her.
"Hah! Old lady, aren't you just as annoying? The feeling is mutual. You have no right to ridicule me." Trying to get back at Justin through sharo words was pointless. Although he was still a child, he's more capable than an adult at fighting back. He had always been a gifted child with high intelligence.
Mary burst into peals of laughter. Jessica, I thought the little brat was only mean to me. But it seems he's just as mean to you! I feel much better now. Mary giggled happily. Seeing Justin insult someone else made the resentment she felt lessen.
Are you an idiot? Do you think his insult was jist referring to me? Don't be stupid. Don't you know that he just taunted you as well? Jessica rolled her eyes at Mary. She sat at the table in an arrogant manner. Sometimes, she had no idea how to read Mary. At first, she thought Mary was stupid. But today, she was smart enough to insist that she come here to prevent her from washing her hands clean of the plot. But times like these showed how stupid she was. She did not even understand the meaning behind Justin's words.
