Chapter 335: Till Death Do Us Part (part two)
He said he loved Daisy, till death do them part. What a firm promise! But it was not for Jessica. He gave the words to another woman. He even didn't care a bit about Jessica. She touched her belly, and wondered what else she had to do to win this excellent man back. Because he seemed not interested in her anymore. He had paid no attention to the child in her womb, let alone acknowledged the child was his.
'Edward, why do you hurt me like this? In fact, I don't want much from you. I do not imagine you would really love me. I only want to continue to stay with you. But you give all your heart to another woman. You don't even respond to my pleading. You love Daisy wholeheartedly. But have you ever thought of me for one second?' Jessica cried in her heart.
Among the guests, another person who had the same reaction as Jessica was Hank. His face grew pale, too. He had never imagined that Daisy was the wife of the CEO of FX International Group. Then the letter he managed to send to the leaders was a false accusation. Thinking of this, he lost his cool. Because if they found that he was the person who sent the letter, he would face a loss of rank, or even worse, being expelled from the army. He would really be doomed by Jessica's tricks. She told him that she was married to Edward, but it was complete bullshit, Hank thought. But wasn't it too late for him to realize this? Because the misunderstanding and mistake were already made.
Now he finally came to understand why Daisy would drive that luxurious car into the army base without any fears that her car would be mistaken as bribe. Because with the wealth of FX International Group, no one would feel strange even if she took a helicopter to work, let alone a luxurious car. He regretted that he had been used by Jessica without knowing it. And he mistook the car as her bribe. He felt troubled at how to end this drama. He knew the top leaders had already started the investigation about the content of the accusation letter.
When Hank was lost in his complex thoughts, Aaron announced the opening of the party. While on the stage, Daisy noticed that among the guests dressed in flashy party dresses, there was a group of people wearing troop uniforms which she was quite familiar with. But the guests were so crowded together, she couldn't figure out whether she knew those people or not. But Edward knew who they were. No matter how the public reacted to this news, he achieved his goals. He wondered now that the officials from the Army Group knew that Daisy was his wife, would they continue to think that Daisy had no background and was an easy target?
Except for the Commander who had known about Daisy's identity before, other guests from the army were surprised to know that Daisy was married to Edward. At the same time, they figured out why FX International Group would suddenly invite them to attend the ceremony. The company wanted them to know that they financed the military equipment purchase because of Colonel Ouyang, not because of any other factors. It seemed that Edward's final goal was to warn them that the whole FX International Group was behind Colonel Ouyang and she was never supposed to be trifled with. Otherwise the company would not invite them to the ceremony. It must be connected to the case of Colonel Ouyang's suspension from her position, they thought.
It was the first time for Kevin to see how beautiful and graceful Daisy was at such a grand occasion. He was surprised to see that taking off the uniform, Daisy could be so fascinating and attractive when dressed in such elaborate clothes. He sneered with self-mockery. When Daisy and Edward was about to reach the place where he and the army people stood, Kevin immediately concealed his downcast look. Because Edward had a sharp eye, he would easily catch other people's hidden thoughts. Kevin didn't dare to show too much of his emotions.
Army Commander, Commander, why are you all here?" When Daisy approached them and saw clearly who they were, she was frightened. She couldn't understand when the army was connected with the FX International Group. Why didn't she hear anything from Edward about it?
"Oh! I invited them. Hello! Nice to meet you! I feel honored that you could come here to attend our ceremony." Edward shook hands with them one by one with gracefulness. His fascinating smile stunned all army officers present.
"Mr. Mu, you're very modest. We are the people who should say thanks for your generous financing." The Army Commander's loud and clear voice matched his manner as a soldier. It was the first time he had met with Edward, so he acted very politely. He didn't dare to underestimate Edward who smiled broadly. Because he knew that though the man was smiling, an iron hand might be hidden in a velvet glove. So he felt the need to be cautious when dealing with Edward.
Every citizen has a responsibility to support the country's military. I only did what I should do within my ability. Don't be too polite. For our good partnership, I propose a toast!" Edward said while taking the glass of wine from the waiter. He knew how to handle it appropriately. He was neither very hospitable nor very indifferent to them. Instead, he kept his graceful manner all the time. As a business man, he never acted on impulse without due consideration. So this time he used his intelligence and wisdom to deal with this group of people seriously. It was what he was good at.
