Chapter 931: Predators And Preys (part two)

Argh! Do you really think everyone will do what you want?" After she said that, memories flooded into her mind. Jessica suddenly recalled what happened last time when she tried to kidnap Daisy, and how the men in black came out of nowhere and rescued her. Thinking of that, she shuddered again, as fear overtook her heart. She stole a glance at Edward, thinking, wondering whether the men were sent by him. Maybe he did have everyone at his beck and call.

"I never said that. But I own many things, including the piece of land you're standing on, and the office where we're talking. I could have you arrested for trespassing, and no one would question it. Get the hell off my property! Vamoose! Scram! Now!" said Edward, raising his eyebrows. He started to feel that it was a gigantic mistake to waste his time on her.

"I'm leaving, but not because of you. I'm leaving because I want to. We're done here." Seeing that Edward lost his temper, Jessica was too scared to stay any longer. Stomping her feet, she stormed off on her high-heels. It was obvious that this man would not do business with her; why would she stay and be humiliated?

Seeing her walk away, Edward's lips tightened. Truth be told, the woman was no competitor with him in the business world, and he wasn't afraid of her little tricks. But he was worried about something else: she might possibly try and seek revenge, hurting his family to do it. He shuddered inwardly when he thought of Daisy or Justin being hurt or killed. And he could tell she was pissed, months of resentment building toward this moment. He didn't think she could be easily mollified.

When Jessica walked out of the building, she ran into a person she hadn't expected to meet. Upon recognizing Daisy's face, she flashed a wicked smile, and blocked her way, arms crossed at her chest.

"What do you want?" Seeing her here, Daisy was also surprised. But she didn't show her real feelings openly. Calm and composed as ever, she shot an icy glance at Jessica, waiting for her to explain why she was blocking the way.

"Do you really have to ask? Daisy Ouyang. You must be really happy. From rags to riches, the proud wife of the CEO of FX International Group," stated Jessica, feeling no need to pretend to be kind. The sardonic voice was back, together with the holier-than-thou airs. She might be afraid of Edward, but this woman was not her equal. Jessica was sure of it.

Sorry, I'm too busy for your crap. What do you want? Never mind, just get out of my way." Daisy was already holding a bellyful of anger. Her tone turned cold and merciless as Jessica provoked her.

"Ha! You really think you're something, don't you? But where will you be when FX International goes bankrupt? If you lose all your precious money, would you still be something? Or anything at all?" Jessica had long been jealous of Daisy's luck. Every time she saw her, she felt an impulse to pinch Daisy's beautiful face, destroying the happiness beaming from her inside. She was under the impression that Daisy cared about her wealth gained through Edward. In truth, just having Edward was enough. If FX went away, she still had her husband, her son, and her career in the military.

"That's Edward's money, not mine. Living off someone else's cash is more your style, tramp. And why should you care? It's none of your business! Now out of my way!" said Daisy scornfully. She had never thought much of this woman, and would not change her opinion of her now. Every time she bumped into Jessica, she had more reasons to dislike her.

Really? Let's wait and see then. Your time will come. And I hope that you'll be half as calm as you are now when your husband is dirt poor." That said, Jessica raised her chin and strutted off, gyrating her hips like a samba dancer. When she passed by, she intentionally bumped into Daisy, although to her disappointment, the trained senior colonel didn't even move a bit.

What a loon!" Daisy snorted, wearing a cold expression on her face. Not even glancing at Jessica, she trotted into the company building. Her murderous look gave everyone a chill. They cowered and made way for her, wondering how their CEO offended Daisy again. Mrs. Mu was so angry. If looks could kill, she would leave a heap of corpses in her wake.

"Nice to see you, Mrs. Mu." Anna was a little shocked when she saw Daisy. What was going on? And why did she have that look of rage in her eyes?

"Good day to you too. Is Edward in?" Daisy had always been quiet, but today, she was much more aggressive than she used to be. Her eyes were burning with anger when she mentioned Edward's name.

Yes, this way, please." Anna led the way, and Daisy followed. Anna thought to herself, luckily, Melissa Xue had left before Daisy arrived, or something worse would definitely occur if they met. She had sensed that Melissa had some unusual connection with Edward, although she was not really sure what. So it was a good thing that Daisy wouldn't see Melissa in Edward's office.

"Okay, thanks!" Daisy took a deep breath before she pushed the door open and walked in. She was so angry that she didn't even knock.

"Honey, why you are here?" Edward was also astonished to see Daisy at this hour. His eyes were filled with confusion when he looked at her.

"Honey? Don't honey me, you jerk! If I'm your honey, why do you have people spying on me? Don't you trust me? Well? Or are you trying to hide something from me?" Angry, Daisy hurled her briefcase onto the sofa. It landed with a satisfying thud, despite the soft cushions. She was seldom angry with Edward, and once she was, it was difficult to calm her down. She would even say and do ruthless things to humiliate Edward.

Well, I am not spying on you. I wanted to tell you about that, actually. But I got a little busy, and forgot about it." Edward patted his forehead in regret, blaming himself for forgetting such an important thing. And now here was Daisy, blowing this out of proportion.

"Tell me about it! Do you know I mistook the guy for an attacker? I almost put him in the hospital!" Daisy gnashed her teeth in anger. It was only because of her training and ability to think on her feet that this guy wasn't recovering from two broken limbs at least. Martial arts was a godsend. And who on earth wouldn't give a stalker a sound beating? And who on earth would ever imagine the person stalking on her was sent by her own husband? Therefore, when she realized that she was being watched, her first thought was that her real identity was exposed to her enemies or agents overseas. After all, she had offended so many people when she went out on missions. Foiling someones' plans tended to make them resent you.

"I am so sorry, honey. It's all my fault. But what about you? Are you hurt or scared?" asked Edward as he stood up. With a worried expression on his face, he walked to her side, looking her up and down.

That can wait. Why are you spying on me? What possible reason could you have? You know it's a criminal offense to hire someone to stalk a military officer." Daisy rolled her eyes. Her husband was a capable person. The moment when she was handling affairs in the urban district, his people had already located her. And that was when the guy started following her.
