Chapter 488: No One To Blame But Himself (part two)

Daisy must have seen the video by now. Edward wondered how to explain it to her when she came back. He was a little worried that Daisy would be upset with him. After all, she had emphasized yesterday that she didn't like it when he kept things that concerned her from her. But what about now? He had thrown out a grenade. How would she react to it? Edward had his doubts. Moreover, there were more powerful bombs in the future. He felt like he was walking towards his deathbed.

"I didn't show myself. I asked someone to hand it in. But I think they must have figured that we have something to do with the video. Anyone with a brain could easily link it to us. Otherwise, there would be no one smart enough to manage other people's business. Besides, apart from the army and us, no one knows the tip-off about Mrs. Mu."

Luke looked at Edward with a firm gaze. He shared his reasoning and thoughts with Edward. No one in the army was mediocre. They could easily figure things out and find out a reasonable explanation for the whole matter if they put a little thought to it.

I'm aware of this. Besides, we did it because we want them to know that the video came from us. This way, they will have no excuse to cover someone up." Edward chuckled to himself. He didn't care about their thoughts. All he wanted to know was Daisy's opinion. As for the other things, he didn't want to waste his time pondering about it.

But Mrs. Mu…" Luke hesitated. He didn't know if Daisy would blame him because he hadn't discussed it with her before making the decision about the video. But it seemed that he didn't need to worry about it. Anyway, Edward would be the first person that Daisy would be upset with. Even if a meteor were to hit earth, Edward would be the first one to hold the responsibility. He had little to do with it.

It's fine. I'll explain to her. Tell me what you've gotten from Paul. I need to plot carefully as soon as I get discharged. A long delay may cause trouble." Edward didn't like staying in the hospital. He needed to find a way to recover quickly and leave the hospital at once. It was more convenient to deal with these things at home than in a hospital. Maybe he could ask Tom to go to his house and check up on him every day, so he wouldn't have to stay in the hospital anymore. Since Tom wasn't generous with his precious medicine, he'd better order some medicine from him. Daisy would most likely agree with him and prefer him to be at home as well.

"I've recorded what he said. Here you go." Luke took out his phone and played the recording from beginning to end. Edward frowned tightly as he listened to the contents of the recording. His eyes narrowed into slits, conveying a sense of danger.

Now he knew the truth. That was how they had treated a delicate pregnant woman. They didn't even feel any guilt about it at all. To make things worse, they had taken advantage of her and lived a luxurious life that they couldn't originally afford. Weren't they afraid that the dead would haunt them at night in their sleep?

What a tragedy! He was worried how Daisy would take this deadly blow. Her mother had been murdered with her unborn baby. Cruel demons! They didn't deserve to be called human beings. Even an animal would never do such brutal things. But they had done it with purpose. They harmed innocent lives to reap their benefits and live a comfortable and prosperous life. From beginning to end, they trampled on the lives of others for their own selfish interests.

What do you think about it?" Edward's lips trembled with anger. The victim was his wife's most cherished woman. He felt distressed for Daisy. He couldn't help feeling heartbroken at the thought that she was about to face this. If possible, he wanted to bury this brutal truth and never let her know about. Then, she wouldn't be burdened with the knowledge. But he couldn't do that because these monsters would remain unpunished. He couldn't make such a decision on Daisy's behalf. Daisy had the right to know the truth.

As far as I'm concerned, if Mrs. Mu were to handle this, she would definitely follow the laws strictly as a soldier. She will leave it to the police to take care of it. But it doesn't mean that there's nothing we can do right now. There's a great deal of things we can do to them before the police find them." Luke gave a snort of disgust. It would just be a minor punishment for the culprits if they were handed over to the police. But he didn't have a choice because Daisy wouldn't let them do anything besides surrender them to the police. In that case, he could at least torture them secretly before they were handed over. He wondered how psychologically strong they were.

Well, it seems that you've already got a plan." Edward rested his chin on his slender hand. He wanted to see how could Leo keep calm after learning of this. Now, even if he wanted to recognize Daisy as his own daughter, Daisy would not necessarily express any kindness or gratitude. It would be difficult for him to earn Daisy's forgiveness. He had hurt Daisy so much. How could she open her heart to him so easily?

Not really. I can only deal with Paul. He's the kind of person who displays cowardice when faced with death. As for a bitch like Yakira, no one is devious enough to handle people like her except you." Luke didn't mean anything else by his words, but Edward caught a different understanding when he heard them.

"Are you saying I'm more devious than her?" Edwards narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Luke. Oh, good. He was even compared to such a vixen! Was he such a despicable man in his eyes?

No, sir! Mr. Mu, I didn't mean it like that. You know how bad I am at getting along with women, unlike you. You've always been expert at dealing with them." Luke immediately explained. But he hadn't expected his response to cause even more dissatisfaction.

Oh, I see your point. So you mean to say that I'm always involved with women, right?" Edward said in a mischievous tone. Why didn't Luke keep his thoughts to himself? It would be a disaster if Daisy heard them. Daisy might think he was flirting around with other women! He couldn't afford living like that anymore.

I…" Luke immediately regretted his reply as soon as he spoke. He realized that no matter how he explained himself, Edward would find fault in his words. So he decided to keep silent and not say another word. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he might make. He would be safe if he didn't say anything.

No mre excuses? It seems that I read your mind;Edward quipped. He enjoyed occasionally teasing Luke who always seemed so serious. He considered it a way to relieve his boredom. After all, it was extremely boring to stay in the hospital all day long.
