They chose seats by the window, and from Daisyâs position, she could see the pedestrians and vehicles outside through the glass. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After telling Johanes that, his face turned pale.
It wasnât until the waiter brought the coffee and said, âPlease enjoy,â that Johanes slightly recovered and said in a low voice, âDaisy, I admit I was wrong all these years, and I have been trying to make it up to you.â
âI said that if you really want to make it up to me, you should give me a share of what Amelia has.â Daisy stirred her coffee slowly, her expression indifferent,
âThatâs not too much to ask for now.â
Liamâs gaze remained on Daisy, and upon hearing her words, he quickly said, âItâs not too much. Theyâre both daughters, so naturally, they should be treated the same. Director Miles, donât you agree?â
Johanesâs face stiffened for a moment, and he said, âMr. Davis is right.â
Daisy didnât take his compliance to heart and continued to lower her gaze to stir her coffee without looking at them.
After a while, Liam glanced at Johanes, who got the hint and stood up saying,
âDaisy, you chat with Mr. Davis first, I have something to do and have to leave.â
Liam stood up, âDirector Miles, you go ahead, Iâll visit you another day.â
Johanes nodded with a smile, and as he left, he gave Daisy a warning glance, but she sat there dignified and cool, not looking up.
It wasnât until Johanes left that Liam laughed and said, âHeâs gone.â Daisy looked at him, her phoenix eyes upturned and beautiful, emanating a sense of distance and indifference, âDonât waste your time on me.â
Not expecting her to be so straightforward, Liam was stunned for a moment before he likewise said directly, âLady Zane, you should at least consider and give it a try.â
Daisy looked at him for a while before commenting, âYouâre quite confident.â
âYes, Iâve always felt that I have the confidence to back it up,â Liam said.
Daisy took another look at him and said nothing.
âLady Zane, you must know that if youâre with me, youâll immediately get what you want,â Liam said, looking at her, âYouâll have a place in the Miles family, and youâll have everything Amelia has, and even more.â
Daisy still didnât sneak or look at him. she just nicked un the coffee and took a sip.
Liamâs eyes stayed on her, never leaving. He didnât know what was going on with him. He went to Daisyâs film premiere with a little celebrity.
His goal was to please that little celebrity, so he didnât pay much attention to the film.
But at the end of the film, he inadvertently glanced at the screen just in time to see Daisyâs close-up.
The shot was short, lasting only a few seconds before the movie ended.
But Liam felt that those few seconds stretched infinitely in his vision, and everything around him suddenly lost its color.
He didnât know how to describe his state of mind at the time. From a young age, he liked many people and was attracted to anyone beautiful.
But he had never felt a feeling like that, as if a seed had been planted in his heart.
He thought it was just a passing fancy, but he didnât expect that after all this time, the seed had sprouted.
He didnât rule out that after seeing her in person, he would lose interest. Yet today, seeing her in person, he couldnât help but feel more comfortable and at ease with every glance.
He never thought that someone so cold and cool, so dismissive of others, could be so likable.
âLady Zane, I genuinely like you,â Liam said, âI hope youâll seriously consider it.
The Davis family is one of the top in Truro City, and as long as I speak up, the Miles family wonât refuse. I also promise no one will ever mention your background again. The entire Davis family will stand behind you.â
âWith such a good deal, itâs indeed tempting,â Daisy said indifferently.
The smile on Liamâs face deepened, âI know we just met, and I may be a bit forward. Moreover, what Iâm doing might seem a bit calculating. Lady Zane, if you donât understand or trust me, you can take your time to get to know me.
Iâm sincere in everything I say.â
Daisy looked at him and slowly said, âThank you for your kindness, Mr. Davis.
But⦠I donât need help.â
The smile on Liamâs face stiffened, âWhat?â
âPlease continue on your way.â Daisy didnât say anything more and walked straight out.
Watching Daisyâs retreating figure, Liam looked down and laughed softly after a while.
After coming out of the coffee shop, Daisy thought for a moment and ordered a car to go to Truro Universityâs laboratory.
She had an experiment that the assistant had given her last time. She took advantage of being in Truro City to finish it and write a report to submit early.
So the old professor wouldnât keep targeting her.
She didnât leave Truro Universityâs laboratory until 9 0âclock. After walking along the street for a while, she had a plate of rice noodles. Then Daisy Zane took a taxi back to Everlasting Palace.
But when she got to Everlasting Palace and was waiting for the elevator to open, she bumped into Harton Clark and Allonzo Hobson.
The two of them took the elevator up from the parking lot.
Originally, Harton Clarkâs stern eyes softened the moment he saw Daisy Zane and said, âYouâve been out?â
Daisy Zane entered the elevator without wanting to answer his question.
When she went to Truro University, Harton Clark had sent her a message saying that he would pick her up from Maple Elite later.
Daisy Zane didnât want to bother him, so she said she had already returned to Everlasting Palace.
But now it was obvious that Harton Clark saw through her lie.
She didnât answer, and he didnât ask further: âHave you eaten?â
âYes.â
The elevator opened at the twenty-eighth floor, and the three came out together.
Harton Clark glanced at Daisy Zaneâs residence and said, âHe wonât be here tonight.â
Allonzo Hobson also quickly added, âOh, right, I came to get something and will leave after that.
âItâs fine,â Daisy Zane said. âJames Collins sent me the password, and Iâll get my luggage and go back.â
Upon hearing this, Harton Clark hesitated while opening the door, and even frowned where the other two couldnât see. But he quickly regained his composure: âAre you sure itâs correct?â
Daisy Zane didnât speak, clearly not very sure.
Although James Collins had assured her repeatedly that the password was correct when he texted her and even offered to freeze his own bank card if it wasnât.
Butâ¦
âIâll go try it first.â
âSure.â
Harton Clark agreed verbally, but in his heart, he kept praying that she wouldnât be able to open the door.
Allonzo Hobson, who had been quiet throughout and obviously a bit tired, noticed Harton Clarkâs reaction. He raised his eyebrows, amusement evident on his face.
However, things didnât go as Harton Clark hoped, and he heard the sound of Daisy Zaneâs password being entered correctly and the door opening.
Allonzo Hobson was close by and clearly felt Harton Clarkâs sudden drop in pressure when the door opened, like a tornado.
Before Allonzo Hobson could react, there was a âcrashâ from Daisy Zaneâs place following the sound of the door opening.
Something had fallen over, and there was the noise of metal scattering on the ground.
Before Allonzo Hobson could respond, Harton Clark was already walking towards Daisy Zane.
âLucia. â
Daisy Zane was standing at the door, looking at the express delivery boxes piled half a person high from the entryway to the living room entrance â big and small, long and square.
And from the looks of it, there were even more piles in the living room.
It resembled a warehouse, leaving her just enough space to pass.
However, she didnât even have space to pass now because when she opened the door, the express delivery boxes on the right fell over.
Harton Clark first checked on Daisy Zane to make sure she was alright, then glanced into the room and was stunned for a moment.
Daisy Zaneâs expression was not good. She stared at the boxes, looking like she was on the verge of exploding.
Following the scene, Allonzo Hobson couldnât help but curse out loud, then he saw some glittering gold items scattered on the floor.
He bent down to pick up two, weighing them in his hand, glanced at Daisy Zane, then at Harton Clark, and said, âIf Iâm not mistaken, this isâ¦. gold, right?â
