"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 I t 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.
