Chapter 221
Asher transferred Daphne there
Now that Adait was asking, Lacey was not stupid.
She knew she couldn’t tell Adair that her husband bad arranged for Daphne to come here.
Lacey said. “Yes. She has a decent educational background and quite capable..
Adair said to Lacey, “I don’t like her. Fire her.”
“Did she offend you in any way?” Lacey asked in confusion because she felt that Daphne was not bad.
Daphne was quite clever when doing things, and her EQ was usually high. She also got along well with everyone.
“I just don’t like her. It’s nothing else. Fire her. I don’t want to see her in the company anymore. I came here today to tell you this,” said Adair.
“I don’t think it’s a good idea.” Seeing that Adair was about to leave, Lacey mustered her courage and protested.
Adair turned around and looked at Lacey. “Ms. Maurice, are you doubting me?”
Lacey said, “The point is… she has a good relationship with Elara. You know Elara’s identity. She is Mr. Blue–Blooded’s wife. I can’t offend her.”
“Elara?” Adair frowned. “You said she’s Elara’s friend?”
“They were high school classmates. They were–pretty close.”
Adair frowned and walked out, just in time to see Daphne enter.
She stared at Daphne. The moment she saw this woman, she was filled with anger.
Daphne also sensed her hostility and greeted her politely, “Hello, Ms. Balslev.”
Early in the morning, Adair looked at Daphne and felt the anger in her heart surge.
However, she couldn’t tell why Daphne made her uncomfortable.
“Come with me. I have something to tell you.” As Adair spoke, she called Daphne over.
Daphne followed Adair to the lounge.
Adair sat on the sofa and looked at her. “Go get me a cup of coffee.”
She wanted to see what this woman was up to.
‘Elara knows her, and Lacey spoke up for her… Most importantly, yesterday… The more Adair thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed.
Asher liked Elara. But when she was jealous because of Elara, he could not be bothered to coax her. However, last night, she had only questioned him about Daphne and he had already started to coax her.
Adair didn’t think much of it at the time. Now that she thought about it, she felt Asher’s reaction was abnormal.
Just now, Lacey said they were high school classmates, then isn’t Daphne his high school classmate too?‘ Adair thought.

She realized Daphne knew Asher.
However, the two of them pretended not to know each other.
Adair felt that under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t have acted like that.
Soon. Daphne returned with coffee.
She handed the coffee to Adair. Adair glanced at her and reached out to take it. When Daphne just let go, she moved her hand away again..
The coffee fell to the ground, and Adair immediately became furious. “Are you deliberately showing me your attitude?
Her voice was loud, and she did not show Daphne any respect.
Daphne looked at Adair and pursed her lips. “Sorry, I’ll get you another cup.”
It was obvious that Adair was deliberately making things difficult for her.
Adair smiled. “Just make me another cup? You dirtied my shoes
Although it was only two drops, she didn’t like Daphne now, so naturally, she would make things difficult for Daphne.
Daphne squatted down and picked up a tissue to wipe her shoes.
Looking at Daphne squatting in front of her, looking obedient and humble, Adair asked, “What’s your relationship with Asher?”
“N–nothing.” Daphne looked nervo,
at Adair. “Why do you ask so, Ms. Balslev?”
you were “Do I look like a fool?” Adair said, “Last time, you dirtied my clothes. In the end, Asher helped you out. I heard that high school classmates. You even pretended to be unfamiliar with him. Why? Have you two been in a relationship before?”
Daphne bit her lip at the mention of this
Adair said, “Answer me.”
Daphne said, “No… We’re just classmates.”
“But I don’t believe you,” Adair said, “If you were just classmates, why did you have to pretend you were not close? And if you’re not close, why did he let you stay in the company?”
Although Lacey had taken all the responsibility, Adair still did not believe her.
Daphne lowered her head and did not speak.
Adair sized her up. “Since you’re not going to tell me, keep squatting. I’ll see how long you can squat.”
Daphne was wearing high heels, to begin with, so it was apparent that she felt uncomfortable squatting on the ground.
Since she refused to say it, Adair was not in a hurry to let her go.
Daphne squatted on the ground and said to Adair, “I have nothing to do with Mr. Blackwood. Even if we’ve been in a relationship, it’s in the past.”
“So, you did date him before, right?” Adair’s eyes turned cold. “No wonder… I don’t like you at first sight.” Their relationship made Adair more upset than the relationship between Asher and Elara.

Daphne said, “The person Mr. Blackwood likes is Elara, not me.
“Stop talking about Elara,” Adair said, “Asher treats you
He had thoughts about Elara, but he was very frank.
However, for the sake of Daphne, he had been lying to her.
differently, I can tell that.”
Daphine stopped talking when she saw Adair targeting her.
