This is to say that she wasn’t good enough for Edward Stephens.
Daisy Ginger felt like she’d never been scrutinized and looked down upon in her life.
She leaned back coldly against the chair, crossing her arms and sneering, "Ridiculous."
"Was that why you sought him out that day, just to say these things?" Daisy asked. "No wonder his face looked so unpleasant when he came back. If a family needs to use business marriages to maintain prosperity, they might as well go bankrupt. If they can’t even ensure their children’s happiness, they shouldn’t have had him."
"Miss Ginger wouldn’t understand the difficulties of the second young master," Charlotte Smith said softly, sighing lightly, "It’s his duty as a member of the Stephens family."
What a load of crap about duty.
Daisy only knew that Edward Stephens was married to her, and he shouldn’t even think about marrying some other uppity family girl. Newest update provıded by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
Who would have thought such a grand family still had this kind of backwards tradition; it’s no wonder Edward didn’t want to go back.
Daisy stood up from the chair, her tone icy as she said to Charlotte, "I will not agree to a divorce. I’m going back to work, see yourself out."
This kind of pointless conversation had wasted an hour of her time, and she was going to confront Edward about this.
Just because of this matter, he didn’t dare to tell her the truth?
What was there to be afraid of, it’s not like she couldn’t understand him.
Alright, she was indeed a little bit jealous.
Thinking about how she had cried unfairly over such a ridiculous thing a few days ago, Daisy wanted to throw this woman out the window. Furious, she pushed the chair aside and turned to leave.
Charlotte’s voice became slightly urgent.
"The second young master isn’t your..."
The meeting room door was suddenly kicked open, and Edward Stephens’ travel-worn figure appeared in the doorway. He set his gaze on Charlotte not far away, his eyes already stormy.
Daisy stood right by the door, nearly knocked off her feet, and was startled. Edward reached out and pulled her behind him, then looked up at Charlotte and said, "I’ve warned you, don’t go near her. You clearly didn’t take my words seriously, did you?!"
Faced with Edward’s icy tone, Charlotte’s already pale face became even more colorless.
She bit her lip, looking at Edward’s face, and murmured, "Second young master, I really am doing this for your own good..."
She wanted to separate them in the least hurtful way.
Otherwise, that person would come...
He wouldn’t be merciful to Edward.
"Go back to the United States," Edward said. "Go right now, I’ve already bought you a ticket. Get out!"
Daisy hid behind Edward, seeing for the first time how he was this furious towards a girl.
Rather than calling them former fiancés, it seemed more accurate to call them enemies.
She tugged on Edward’s clothes lightly, whispering, "Edward, enough... let’s go out..."
If he got any angrier, she worried he’d make the girl cry.
Edward glanced down at her, gently nudging her, "Go wait for me outside."
"..." Daisy glanced at him, then at the pale-faced Charlotte not far away, and responded with an "oh" before retreating to the meeting room doorway.
With a "bang," the door was shut.
Daisy stood at the door, unable to hear the voices inside, and pursed her lips.
Was he really not afraid she’d get jealous?
