Daisy watched all this coldly. If this had happened in the past, she would have definitely stopped Edward from hurting a pregnant woman, but not today. She came to realize that mercy to the enemies means cruelty to herself. And she knew Jessica deserved no mercy. Her heart was full of bitter hatred and there was no room for regret or compassion for people like Jessica. She had to pay for all her sins today.
"Don't be so confident about yourself. Blind confidence will do you no good. You want to have fun? Let me grant you your wishes now." Edward was never a nice and merciful man. He might appear soft and gentle, but if there was an enemy who had to be tackled, Edward showed no mercy. He was literally like a sleeping lion, ready to launch an attack if people crossed a line.
"As for the rest of you, get up if you are not dead already," demanded Edward sternly while his eyes running down those gangsters. He wasn't in a hurry to deal with them since they were already knocked out. They didn't have any energy left in them to attack or run away. Before he did anything, he wanted to take his time to find out exactly which one of them humiliated his wife. As soon as he did, he would chop those hands off and feed them to a fish!
"What do you want? Don't forget that I'm pregnant!" Jessica was clever enough to read through what was on Edward's mind. So she watched his each and every move with a tingle of horror.
So you actually know that you are expecting a baby? Do you really think you still deserve to be called a mother given all of this vicious behavior? But there is no need to get tensed. Be assured, I'm not as twisted as you. So I will only make a list of all the things that you have done to my wife, and avenge her suffering bit by bit on you, nothing more and nothing less. So you know exactly what to expect."
Edward said with one arm around Daisy's waist, and the other hand holding the dagger. Jessica took a deep breath when he softly swept its pointed edge on her face. Her fear was beyond all limits now.
"Wait a minute! Let me avenge myself first," Justin suddenly cried out. He again struggled to free himself from Jonathan's arms. Instead of holding him tighter, Jonathan bent down and put him gently on the ground this time. His heart ached when he saw those wounds on his grandson's little body. That woman's evilness was truly beyond his imagination. He couldn't believe that she could be so cruel to a child.
"Remember what I told you, old woman? What a big mistake it was for you to let me get out alive. Now you will have to pay the price." A trace of slyness could be seen in Justin's eyes. Since Jonathan said that Daisy didn't want him to see her miserable condition, he would pretend not to see it. But this didn't mean he would ignore these two malicious and sinful women all together. He must teach them a lesson in his way.
"Buzz off, you nasty little child! What are you up to?" Mary was terrified. She could see something malicious in Justin's sly grin, but she couldn't figure out what he was going to do. His words sent shivers down her spine.
"Don't worry, I won't touch your face. However, I still think that you need a makeover. This will make it easier for you to confess to the Buddha and turn over a new leaf of your life," said Justin while walking unhurriedly towards his backpack. With his teeth clenched to endure the pain, he bent down and picked the bag up before coming back slowly to Mary. Edward watched him carefully. He knew he had failed him, too. He would have gone up and taken this little guy into his arms, had he not been holding Daisy.
No. Stay away from me! This won't happen in the future, I swear! Daisy, do something, for Brian's sake. Don't you even consider his feelings?" Having no idea what Justin would do to her, Mary gave up her dignity and begged for mercy.
"Why? Playing the family card now? But as I see it, you showed zero regard for Brian's feelings when you were hitting my son. If that is the case, why should I do it for you now?" Daisy snorted. She didn't stop Justin from fighting back, not because she would allow him to learn to be wicked and merciless at such a young age, but because she clearly knew that he needed to vent out his rage. Daisy thought, he would at most make fun of Mary, and would never do any cruel thing. So she just stood in her place and watched him closely.
"Uncle, could you do me a favor and lift me up?" He glanced around the room with his big, round eyes resting on those masked men standing behind his grandfather. Justin looked at them up and down curiously and thought they were really cool.
When being asked, the men immediately looked in Jonathan's direction. It was not until Jonathan nodded his head that one of them squatted down and lifted Justin up. Clearly, they would only follow Jonathan's order.
"I suggest that you stand still, old lady! Otherwise, I can't gurantee that I won't cut your scalp accidentally." Seeing Justin take a sharp little blade out of his backpack, everyone knew what Justin was up to. Now, they all understood what he meant when he said he would make it easier for Mary to confess to the Buddha. He was going to shave off her head. Although Justin did it mostly for fun, it could be a nightmare for a woman who cared so much about her appearance.
How dare you! Mary now realised what Justin was about to do with her. She tried to squirm out of the grip regardless of how embarrassing it looked like. Anyway, she would rather die than turn into a nun.
