Chapter 816: Chaos In The Wedding Ceremony (part two)

"It's okay. I'm not bothered by her. Actually, I should have guessed she wouldn't give up so easily. I just never thought she'd be shameless enough to disrupt our wedding party. She definitely knows how to stir up trouble." Belinda gave Duke a soft, comforting smile. If attempting to stop the wedding had been Rachel's purpose, she would undoubtedly be disappointed. Belinda would not let that happen. Their wedding ceremony would continue till the last minute. There was nothing Rachel could do anymore.

A cocktail buffet was held after the wedding ceremony at Leng House. The dishes were prepared and provided by the FX International Hotel. Both the service and food were of excellent standards for guests to enjoy.

"Hello, Daisy. We meet again." Zemo appeared out of nowhere in front of Daisy, holding a glass of wine. In fact, he had arrived at the party quite early but hadn't had the chance to start a conversation with Daisy as she seemed quite busy that day.

"Oh, Zemo. It's you! Nice to see you! How did you get here?" Daisy was quite surprised to see Zemo at the party. She wondered who had invited him.

"Do you want to know the truth or the lie?" Taking a sip of the red wine, Zemo gave her a wry look.

"What if I choose both?" Daisy smiled softly, waiting for his response. She realized he was trying to be mischievous.

"The truth is that I came here because I knew you would be here too. The lie? Belinda invited me to her wedding, so I'm here to congratulate her on her nuptials," Zemo said jokingly like a ruffian. Most people would find it hard to tell whether or not he was telling the truth.

"Oh, I see. But since when have you and Belinda been so close to each other? I didn't know about that." If her memory served right, Zemo and Belinda did not know each other. They had not even greeted each other last time at the bar.

"We made a business alliance recently. That's how I got to know her." Zemo gave her a half smile. His reason sounded to be quite untrue. However, Daisy trusted him because she knew the kind of person he was. It was just his style.

"Oh! Sure. I almost forgot that you are from a rich family." Daisy replied, taking a jibe at him. She emphasized on the words 'rich family', teasing him on purpose.

"I knew you would make fun of me. But don't you forget it, you are a wife of a businessman. We are of the same world." It was understandable that he didn't know who Edward Mu was when he had first arrived in the city. But now, it would be foolish for him to not know him. Edward pretty much led the trade in the city. He had been running his family business from S City for a while now.

I am still who I used to be. But you've clearly adapted well." Daisy gave him a sidelong glance. They had talked to each other only twice recently. But she could still feel the casual familiarity she always felt with him whenever they were together back at the military academy.

"Edward, things are getting worse! Another man has feelings for Daisy," Tom said, taking pleasure in Edward's obvious annoyance. He had been drinking glass after glass of wine.

"Yes, Edward! It seems like they are getting along quite well. Don't you see? Daisy is smiling so delightfully." Rain was always ready to participate in any activity that irritated Edward. Besides, he himself had been made fun of by Edward just moments ago. Why would he let go of this excellent opportunity now?

"Don't even try to vex me by saying that. That man is her friend. We have met once before." Edward had already taken note of the meeting between Daisy and Zemo. He was not the kind of man who would stop his wife from making friends. He respected Daisy and knew she had her own life. So even though he was somewhat jealous, he pretended to be fine. He sipped at his wine from time to time.

"No way! Edward, why do you treat us differently? You did not even allow me to shake hands with Daisy before. Look? They are almost hugging each other. And you are fine with that as if nothing is happening?!" Looking at where Daisy and Zemo were, Rain reported the scene to Edward. Rain, of course, didn't do that because he was considerate. He just intended to make Edward jealous and possibly mad. That was his purpose.

"You think Daisy is the kind of woman who doesn't know how to act appropriately?" Edward cast a cold, sidelong look toward Rain. He did not show any signs of misery or interest in Rain's 'kind' report. Instead, he kept standing with his back to Daisy and Zemo, enjoying his drink casually. In any case, how did that saying go? 'Out of sight, out of mind?' He did not want to be called a narrow-minded man who did not even allow his wife to be friendly with another man for a while.

"Edward's right! You are screwed, Rain. How dare you talk badly of Daisy. I am going to tell her later and you just compose yourself for the raging storm from her. I heard that she is quite crazy when training soldiers and has a very grueling and aggressive style. You should thank me for reminding you of that so that you can prepare yourself in advance." Tom was definitely a waffler; he was so quick to turn sides. He sided with Rain initially, but when he sensed that things could get risky, he jumped over to defend Edward. They could not recall that it was him who had started off this topic of discussion in the first place.

"I think both of you are screwed. One of you said she hugged another man and the other said she is crazy," Edward said, his mouth curling. Daisy was very physically strong as a soldier. He had seen and experienced it. She was used to dealing with a problem through force. She was certainly not soft in that respect!

Come on, Edward! How can you betray us?"

"No, I can't be screwed, Edward! What if there is no other doctor when you need one in the future? Don't be so harsh on me."

Rain and Tom whined at the same time. In reality, they knew Edward was just making fun of them. They were aware of the kind of person Daisy was. She would never take advantage of her power and identity in dealing with them. But the possibility that she might punish them even without exercising her authority could not be completely ruled out.

"You are going to be in big trouble! I heard both of you. You were talking badly about Daisy!"

Leena appeared in a flash. Kevin had been called away again. She was bored and came to join them.
