"You are Daisy Ouyang! Are you related to Mary Ouyang?" Jessica secretly sneered in disgust, 'Another annoying Ouyang in this world. Why do they even exist? I wonder what kind of role she's playing in the whole scheme of things.'
"What Mary? Who is that? I don't know what you are talking about. But I think you should at least tell me your name first before sputtering with such mean attitude." Daisy replied in a more arrogant tone. She didn't like the way the woman was talking to her. They hadn't met yet, but the woman was already rude to her.
"It doesn't matter who I am. The point here is I'm the one that Edward has loved for the longest time. I hope you know that already." Jessica stroke her long curly hair and smirked at the phone.
"Well, I see. And I presume that's why you sent me the photo? You must be so desperate already." In spite of the panic and anxiety she felt when she first saw the photo, Daisy felt more calm right now.
"Well, that's your only reaction? Why are you still calm like this? Do you even have feelings for him?" Jessica was furious. 'What did she mean by that? Doesn't she care about Edward? Or maybe she just dismissed my challenge as nothing but nonsense? She should not underestimate me!'
"Then how should I react? Are you expecting that I should cry over some rude and arrogant words coming from a strange woman that I don't even know what her name is? No way." Daisy hated to waste time over such meaningless matters. Why couldn't they just get straight to the point? 'Just tell me who you are and what you want.' Daisy thought to herself in utter disgust and impatience.
"My name is Jessica. Everyone in S City knows that I'm the one that Edward is deeply in love with." Jessica said all these with a tone of pride and arrogance. She wondered whether Daisy could still remain calm when she heard this.
"I see. Miss Jessica. I've never heard of you. I just want to know what's your purpose in sending that photo. That's all." Daisy leaned back against the chair and replied in just a casual tone. She used to envy Jessica, because Jessica could stay with Edward all day and Edward would smile at Jessica. All these happened while Edward completely ignored her. He didn't even bat an eye on her. However, no matter how jealous she was, she would never allow Jessica to bully her like this.
"Is it so hard for you to understand? It makes sense, since you're just a lowly ordinary person. How could you possibly mingle with people of our class? You don't have that right!" Jessica had always despised Daisy. Unlike her, Daisy wasn't born into a noble and rich family. Jessica hated people in the lower classes.
"Miss Jessica, I have absolutely no interest in how extravagant and lewd people are in the upper class. But I'm not lowly as you think I am. Please mind your words and show me some respect." Daisy's facial expression right now was as cold as her words.
"Daisy, don't think you can be arrogant just because Edward pays special attention on you. Do you think you could still win him over without your little bastard? Don't be absurd! I'm the one that he loves all along. I'd be the one by his side if you and your little bastard didn't intrude! Maybe Edward just feels sympathy towards you, not love at all."
Jessica's face was twitched, her eyes burning with rage. She would have been the only one Edward loved if Daisy hadn't suddenly come out of nowhere. 'It is all her fault, this lowly skank!' Jessica thought to herself, her fists already clenching in so much anger.
"Mind your words! Who are you calling a bastard? I think you really need to wash your filthy, spoiled mouth before something worse comes out of it again! Is this how educated you are in the upper class? Really?" Daisy was already pissed off now. She could handle it if Jessica just picked on her. However, she would never forgive her for insulting her son. That was a completely different story.
"Isn't it true? Isn't your son a bastard without a father?" Jessica didn't bother to play sweet and innocent when Edward was not around. She felt no burden to reveal her true self now.
"I won't listen to your nonsense any longer. I think there's nothing we can talk about if you keep insulting my family like this. I'm sorry, but I haven't fallen that low to quarrel with someone who is just looking for a fight like you do. Aside from that, stop sending pictures to me because I don't care about your so-called challenges. It's a complete nonsense! If you think Edward is still in love with you, go to him for all I care and stop showing off in front of me. To be honest, I believe in him, and my faith in him won't change just because of a photo like this. Your tricks won't work on me. I love him and I trust him."
