Chapter 569: A Substitute (part two)
Mary was a bit mad this time. She neither wanted to live in this house, nor she wanted to go back to the life she had lived in the past. Like Yakira, all of Mary's hopes were placed on Brian. She believed that Brian would be nice to her since she was his sister. However, Brian had never regarded her as a sister and he only cared about Daisy. Mary was so envious of Daisy that she was completely losing her mind.
Yakira stood behind Brian, feeling much relieved. Mary had somehow distracted Leo and Leo forgot about her for now. Yakira finally got the time to think about why Leo behaved so weird today. Leo had mentioned "an accident" just now. Yakira realized that Edward must have retaliated for what happened last night. Edward was indeed a man who fought over the smallest trifles.
At this time, the doorbell came from the entrance, which startled the servants who were watching the drama. The butler ran to the entrance to find out who was there. Through the screen, he saw a female soldier standing angrily at the entrance. He turned to Leo, terrified.
Who is it?" Leo asked impatiently. The idea of the tragic death of Grace was a torture to him. He hated Yakira even more.
"It is a female soldier. Shall I open the door?" The butler asked in fear. Leo had a straight face today, and just now he wrung Yakira's neck. So, all of the servants were frightened and dared not look Leo in the eye.
A female soldier? It must be Daisy. Come on, open the door." Brian immediately demanded. The only soldier he knew was Daisy, so he believed it was her. It was very late now. Why did she come here? The house was in chaos at this moment.
Standing in front of the familiar gates, Daisy sighed with a mix of feelings. Behind the gates, she had experienced both, a happy childhood and many days. There had been cheerful chatting and laughing with her mother as well as tears of grief after her mother died. She thought she had forgotten those days, but now she recalled everything.
"How dare the bitch come here? Butler, don't let her in. She is not a part of this family anymore." Mary gnashed her teeth. Since Daisy appeared, her family sunk further into chaos. Mary detested Daisy.
"I'm the head of this family. Butler, open the door and let Daisy in." The news dragged Leo out of his black mood, and he was elated. He had been wondering how would he ask Daisy to come back home. He didn't expect her to come back home first. Did it mean that she had forgiven him?
"Yes." The butler pressed the button and withdrew in silence. He had served this family for more than twenty years and knew well about every family member. He was clear who was the head of this family, so he dared not go against Leo.
"Dad, I thought you disliked her? You said I was your beloved daughter? Everything has changed. Why?" It was hard for Mary to accept Leo's cold attitude toward her. When she came back from abroad, Leo was so nice to her. He even helped her snatch Edward from Daisy. What had happened now? Why was Leo so strange today?
"Well, the reason is simple. Daisy is my daughter, and you are merely a substitute." To be honest, Leo didn't want to hurt Mary like this. After all, he had treated her as his daughter and doted on her. However, when he recalled what Yakira had done, he couldn't help but vent out his anger on Mary. His heart broke when he recalled he had allowed Mary to hurt Daisy before.
"No! I'm not a substitute! I'm the beloved princess of this family. Daisy is just an outsider!" Mary murmured as she stumbled towards the gate, shaking her head. Her eyes were empty as she couldn't believe her ears. She thought she was still Leo's beloved daughter, but Leo's words forced her to admit that she was lying to herself all this while. She could be anyone's substitute except for Daisy's. She couldn't bear that Daisy was the princess while she was the cursed witch.
At this moment, Daisy ran into the house and bumped into Mary. Daisy stood still, while Mary fell down heavily on the ground. Daisy was a firm, steady soldier. She looked coldly at Mary as if she was a ghost from the hell. Mary trembled with fear.
Bitch! How dare you come to our family? You have ruin our lives! Mary yelled hysterically on tje ground. She vent her anger on Daisy, not noticing how vicious Daisy was at this moment.
Bitch? Let me tell you, I've never tried to seduce someone's husband nor hurt innocent person like some real bitch did. You should feel lucky now as I'm not here for you. Otherwise, I would give you a lesson!
Daisy stated coldly as she pointed her gun at Mary's forehead. Mary widened her eyes and dared not say anything more. She was afraid that Daisy might pull the trigger out of anger. She crumpled to the floor, with no energy left to argue with Daisy anymore. Mary was not the only one who was shocked. Everyone present was frightened by Daisy's movement and wondered whom she was aiming at.
