Chapter 956: The Confrontation (part one)

I hated you at first, Daisy. Then my opinion of you changed when I thought you were a kind woman. I was wrong. It seems that you are just as cruel as Edward," Coco said resentfully. She bit her lips in disappointment after hearing what Daisy just said.

"Thank you for your appreciation, but I don't think that I'm a kind person myself. Thus, I don't need your recognition." Daisy might be kind but she could also tell right from wrong. She never expected Coco to be good to her as she exactly knew what type of person she was. She wouldn't be here for any good reason.

Honey, go inside. Let me handle this." Edward was a good husband. He wouldn't let Daisy be hurt out of something he was involved in.

"If you could, then you wouldn't be standing here and blocking the gate." Daisy rolled her eyes. Coco might not be one of Edward's ex-girlfriends, but she had rushed to their home directly unannounced. Daisy hated that behavior regardless of the reason. It was inconsiderate, rude, and it disturbed other people's lives.

The CEO ended up rubbing his nose in embarrassment but chose not to retort. Edward was simply the perfect model husband as he never talked back to his wife at all.

"Coco, I hope you can get to the point and stop the verbal attacks. I believe that you will not resolve your problems by causing conflicts." Daisy shifted her gaze from Edward to Coco as she assumed the posture and dignity of a Senior Colonel.

"Well, at least I just made verbal attacks. You guys hurt people brutally." Coco cast a disdainful glance at Daisy. This was the first time she had seen her in military uniform. She used to think that she was just an ordinary aloof woman, but now, Daisy's solid presence impressed her.

"Really? You might as well want to make that clear. Whom did we hurt? Be honest. Don't blame others for something you did. We won't deny it if it is our fault. Be advised, though, that if somebody reproaches us for their own doing, we won't take it silently," Daisy said solemnly, stressing "we" to send the message that she and Edward would be handling the situation as one.

"Who else? My cousin Jessica! She was once again raped by some hooligans right after seeing your mom!" Coco held her chin up as if justice was on her side.

"What? My mother-in-law? That's impossible. There must be some mistake. She barely knows Jessica. Why would she hurt her? Besides, my mother-in-law is a proud woman, and she would think this kind of thing is beneath her. Why would she call Jessica for a meeting anyway?" Although Daisy hadn't lived with Cynthia for a long time, she knew she would not do something as low as that.

"Humph! Believe it or not. My cousin is now in hospital. Do you really think that I will make up something like that at the cost of my cousin's reputation?" The confidence in Coco's tone melted with what Daisy had said. However, it was too late for her to take her statement back as she already said it. The only option she got was to stand with what she said.

"Okay then. Do you have any proof? You should know that you need to present your proof before you point an accusing finger at someone." Daisy's eyebrows knitted. She didn't believe that Cynthia would do something like that to Jessica. They bore no grudges to each other and there was the Mayfly backing her up. She wouldn't even need to do it by herself even if it was her who was involved. There were plenty of men within the Mayfly who would do anything for her.

"Proof? My cousin who's now lying in the hospital is the best proof! What else do you need? Are you trying to cover for your mother-in-law who broke the law? Is that what you do as a public servant?" Coco sneered. Her cousin had been raped by so many men and now was lying in the hospital in misery while Cynthia had gone home sound and intact. She was convinced that the matter had something to do with Cynthia. Somebody had to take responsibility for her cousin's tragedy.

"Coco, stop making groundless accusations! Do you really think you can do whatever you want? Ask your cousin about what she tried to do with my mother and then we'll talk about justice!" Edward snapped upon hearing her turning the facts upside down. Luckily, there had been bodyguards protecting his mother secretly. Otherwise, it might have been her who had been raped. The horrible possibility freaked him out.

"What do you mean? What happened to mother?" Daisy was suddenly nervous. She was worried that something might have happened to Cynthia, which would complicate the matter. If anything happened to Cynthia, Jonathan would revenge her at any cost. Daisy would definitely be put in a dilemma between the law and her family.

"Let's ask Coco about that. She came for this, didn't she? Speaking of which, Senior Colonel Ouyang, I want to report a case: my mother was besieged by some people." Edward knew that this kind of case wasn't in Daisy's jurisdiction. He just wanted to tease her even under such tense circumstances.

"I'm not the authority for this type of case. You should report it to Mr. Yi." Daisy glared at him. She knew when and where to use her power well as a Senior Colonel. The relaxed look on Edward's face gave it away that Cynthia was fine.

"Edward, don't twist the facts!" The sweetness between the two persons in front of her made Coco's face darken in rage. How could they possibly act as if she didn't exist?

"You know exactly what happened. Facts are facts. Turning them upside down won't change anything." Edward looked at her in contempt. Jessica and Coco were nothing but the same for him. The only difference was that Jessica was bold while Coco was afraid to take action. Nonetheless, they were both filled with evil thoughts.

"I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you saying that I am just trying to frame your mother?" Coco believed that it was Cynthia who had done all this. If those hooligans had been hired by Jessica, they should have taken the money and left. Why would they even do such a terrible thing? The police were working on the case and everything would be clear soon.

"You got that right. That's exactly what I meant. Learn about the facts first before you accuse someone. Otherwise, you will just make a fool of yourself. I will sue you for slander," Edward said in an icy tone. He and Jessica still had some unfinished business. Coco had the nerve to come to his house to defend her.

"Coco, I think I figured out what happened there. I guess your cousin kidnapped my mother-in-law just as she did to me before. It is possible that her plans didn't work well this time. Thus, she failed and became those hooligans' prey instead. Am I right?" Daisy suddenly found that she was evil too sometimes. She couldn't help but feel smug as she said those words. A person like Jessica, who never learned her lesson, didn't deserve pity.

Daisy, are you gloating over my cousin's misfortunes?" Coco frowned. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.

"So what? You and your cousin have done so many horrible things to me. Time for me to see your karma coming." Daisy thought she had been unduly kind before, which had led to her being bullied around. Her original plan for today was to have a good rest after a whole day of work. Never had she expected herself to be standing at the gate of her home dealing with problems. Anger was seriously simmering in her.
