âMom, are you done with your makeup?â Allonzo Hobson came over with his father to take a look at Phoebe Turner amidst his busyness.
âAll done.â Phoebe Turner looked at her husband and said, âDo you find my necklace beautiful?â
George Hobson replied, âBeautiful, and the person wearing it is even more beautiful.â
Phoebe Turner laughed, âIt was a gift from Daisy. She even designed it herself, isnât that impressive?â
The agent, whoâs been helping out front, came over and saw her necklace and earrings. He said, âWhy didnât you wear a Spotlight set? As the spokesperson for Spotlight, it doesnât look good wearing jewelry from other stores.â
âIâm wearing a Spotlight ring.â
Agent:? Global spokesperson, and she chose to wear the sponsored jewelry in the least noticeable part of her body, her hand.
Realizing he couldnât sway her, the agent turned to Allonzo Hobson.
Allonzo Hobson said, âIsnât it designed by Daisy? In that case, itâs fine. Just wear it.â
Agent:
Without further explanation, Allonzo Hobson said, âMom, you and Dad should take some photos. Have someone edit them and post them on Facebook. Iâll go ahead.â
Although the banquet hadnât started, they needed to build up the hype online first.
âWait a moment.â Phoebe Turner stopped him, âWhereâs Robinson Scott? Why hasnât he arrived yet?â
Allonzo Hobson checked the time, âTen minutes, heâll be here within ten minutes.â
âAlright. Off you go.â
After Allonzo Hobson left, George Hobson and Phoebe Turner posed for some photos, giving a loving display. They had the pictures edited and then Phoebe Turner posted them on Facebook.
As soon as the post went up, fans flooded in.
Most of the comments were praising Phoebe Turner, with a few people giving George Hobson perfunctory compliments as well.
Of course, there were those who sang a different tune, saying their marriage only existed in name.
Phoebe Turner ignored them and saw a comment praising her necklace. She thought for a moment, then replied: [It was gifted by Daisy, who also designed it herself.]
The jewelry designs were excellent, not inferior to any major brand currently available.
Such talent shouldnât be buried.
Moreover, Phoebe Turner often saw posts mocking Daisy Zane for her lack of education and origin in the Countryside.
So she thought she could build a positive image and directly address the situation.
Little did she know that her kind words would unintentionally cause trouble.
The banquet hadnât started yet.
Kevin Clark and Daisy Zane left Phoebe Turner and went to the Rest Area.
After the two sat there for a while, Daisy Zane asked, âWho else from your family is here besides you?â
âMy eldest brother and his family are here,â Kevin Clark said. âDo you want to go meet them?â
âYes.â Daisy Zane got up.
âIf you donât want to meet them, you donât have to,â Kevin Clark said, sitting on the sofa, holding her hand, and looking up at her. âDonât worry about it too much, just take it easy.â
âItâs not that I donât want to meet them. Itâs been a long time since I last saw them, so I should see them now.â Daisy Zane pulled Kevin Clark up with force.
The two of them went to the Inner Hall area.
Kevin Clark asked a staff member about the Restroom, and then directly led Daisy Zane there.
As the door opened, Daisy Zane heard voices not just from Theo Clarkâs family.
As expected, once Kevin Clark brought her in, they saw not only Theo Clarkâs family of four, but also⦠the entire Lane family of four.
The two families were engaged in conversation, and as Kevin and Daisy entered, everyone looked at the couple.
Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz, upon seeing Daisy Zane, fixed their eyes on her, unable to look away.
Anxious, excited, and longingâ¦
Sophie Ortiz tightly held Andrew Laneâs hand, repressing the urge to rush forward and hug Daisy.
Calvin Stewart spoke first, âLucia, you guys are here? Come, come and sit.â
Hardy Clark also got up, walked over to Daisy Zane, took her hand, and said, âAuntie, itâs been a long time since Iâve seen you. I miss you so much.â
Seeing that she grabbed Daisy Zaneâs hand, Olivia Lane immediately got up, grabbed Daisy Zaneâs other arm, and pulled her to her side. Daisyâs hand was snatched from Hardyâs grasp.
Olivia even pushed Kevin aside in the process of grabbing Daisy Zane, causing him to stagger.
She didnât say anything, just held onto Daisy Zaneâs arm.
Kevin Clark:
Hardy Clark stared at her now-empty hand:
Theo Clarkâs family watched Olivia Laneâs actions. William Lane pursed his lips and said nothing.
After looking at her empty hand, Hardy Clark looked up to see Olivia Laneâs hostile gaze. She grabbed Daisy Zaneâs hand again, and continued staring at Olivia.
Hugo Clark watched the two of them.
Daisy Zane was pulled by two people: ââ¦â¦ you guysâ¦â
âWhat are you two doing?â Kevin Clark spoke first, âLet go.â
As Kevin Clark spoke, the two hesitated, and subconsciously loosened their grip.
Kevin Clark brought her to his side, ignoring Hardy Clark and Amelie Quentin, introducing Daisy Zane to his knuckles: âThe former head of the Lane Family, Andrew Lane, is Roy Madisonâs father. This is the president of the Dance Association, Sophie Ortiz, Roy Madisonâs mother.â
Daisy Zane looked at the two of them, then gently bowed her head to the two.
Her memories of the two people in front of her⦠were quite interesting.
From what she could recall now, almost all of it involved Sophie Ortiz training her. And then⦠Every time she got trained, there was definitely someone else standing next to her.
It was her father.
But it seemed that her father was always more miserable.
Andrew Lane and Sophie Ortiz immediately stood up and walked towards Daisy Zane.
Sophie Ortizâs eyes were fixed on Daisy Zane. When she reached her, she held her hand: âYou are Daisy, right? I watched your shows, they were all very good.â
Andrew Lane nodded in agreement on one side: âThatâs right, thatâs right. Great acting skills.â
Kevin Clark looked at the two peopleâs kindly faces, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. He then continued to introduce: âBrother Lane, sister-in-law, this is my wife.â
Daisy Zane:
Andrew Lane:
Sophie Ortiz:
Roy Madison watched the excitement from the side, almost laughing out loud.
Fortunately, Kevin Clark had always allowed Daisy Zane to address others as she pleased, not forcing her to follow any specific habit.
As the Lane couple stood up, Theo Clark and Calvin Stewart also came over. Hugo Clark and Roy Madison had no choice but to join them, standing together.
Calvin Stewart said: âThis is the third brotherâs wife. They got their certificates but havenât held the wedding banquet yet, so they havenât told everyone.â
Andrew Laneâs face visibly fell. He lowered his gaze and saw the ring on Daisy Zaneâs left hand.
He closed his eyes, and his teeth began to ache faintly.
âShe looks like a good girl.â Sophie Ortiz looked at Daisy Zane, her smile becoming more and more kind. So kind that it made Roy Madison and Amelie Quentinâs hairs stand on end when they saw it.
Their mother would chase them around the Lane Family Estate twice when she hit them.
The word âkindâ had nothing to do with their mother.
Kevin Clark saw them suddenly gather around Daisy Zane and start chatting. And after Calvin Stewart praised her, Sophie Ortiz praised her too. Daisy Zane was caught in the middle, unable to get a word in, just smiling.
He was worried that Daisy Zane might be uncomfortable, so he pulled her out of the crowd and said, âYou guys chat first, weâll go outside.â
Calvin Stewart responded quickly and cooperatively: âGo ahead, go ahead. You young people should go out and have fun, no need to keep us company here.â
Kevin Clark took Daisy Zane out without paying attention to anyone else.
Andrew Lane watched Kevin Clarkâs receding figure and then looked at Sophie Ortiz.
Although he didnât say anything, that look clearly meant:
Look at him, look at him, so arrogant! Self-indulgent! Proud and complacent!
Who would marry their daughter to him!
I disagree with this marriage!
âIn the future, when Iâm not around and you donât want to deal with these things, just leave.â Kevin Clark held her hand and said, âMrs. Clark has the right to be arrogant.â
Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows.
âBut⦠Iâm really curious,â Kevin Clark straightened her skirt hem, âWhy do all the Lanes like you? Theyâre famously cold and emotionless towards outsiders.â
Daisy Zane: n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhy are they so enthusiastic about you? Is it because my wife is so likeable?â
Daisy Zane hesitated for a while and stopped walking.
Kevin Clark also stopped with her: âWhatâs wrong?â
Daisy Zane looked at him and paused before saying: âKevin Clark, actuallyâ¦â
âBrother Nine!â Robinson Scott started shouting from three meters away, interrupting Daisy Zane before rushing over and hugging her.â
Due to inertia, Robinson Scott hugged Daisy Zane and stumbled forward two steps.
Kevin Clark supported Daisy Zane at the waist and stopped her.
Robinson Scott released her after a hug: âDid you miss me?â
Daisy Zaneâs words were interrupted, she coldly replied: âNo.â
Robinson Scott:
Allonzo Hobson walked over just in time to hear that sentence, laughed, and then received a glare from Robinson Scott.
âBrother Nine, youâre just insincere,â Robinson Scott stood next to Daisy Zane, âBrother Nine, I got three hairpins from my fatherâs warehouse and put them in Celestial Pivot. Donât worry, theyâre all items from the living world. Take a look when you have time.â
âOkay.â
