It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 246

"Edward, don't listen to Daisy's nonsense. She's ruthless. Back then, she was the one who did everything to leave the Ouyang family. We had nothing to do with it." Seeing that Edward cared for Daisy a lot, Mary was quite unhappy. She didn't find anything wrong with what she said.

"Miss Ouyang, according to you, my wife is the one to blame. But who had been treating her like a servant for so long? I don't think I need to remind you of that! What do you say, Mrs. Ouyang?" Edward intentionally prolonged the "Mrs. Ouyang" at the end of his question. Judging from Mary's past actions, he didn't think that she was smart enough to undermine Daisy. The most probable suspect would be Mrs. Ouyang who was sitting before him.

"Mr. Mu, what's that supposed to mean? When did we ever treat her like a servant? We raised her in an excellent environment and sent her abroad to study. Can you imagine a servant enjoying these privileges?" Yakira's face turned cold and dark. In the face of Edward's accusations, she became a little agitated. She didn't care that Edward was the object of Mary's affections and started to argue with him.

Edward chuckled darkly. "Mrs. Ouyang, if letting her sleep in the servant's quarters and having her toil harder than the servants made up your so-called excellent environment, then how do you explain that she only got to study abroad after she acquiesced to being kicked out of the Ouyang family? Don't tell me that didn't happen. If I haven't done my investigation, I wouldn't be making these accusations."

Following Edward's humourless laughter, the atmosphere became more oppressive. In that moment, he realized how manipulative the pair was. They knew how to blame their heinous acts on someone else.

"Mr. Mu, don't you think you're going a little too far? I don't think I ever mistreated her. I don't care if you believe it or not, but I have a clear conscience. You can't simply observe some things on the surface and neglect the truth behind them. That girl is rotten to the core. In all those years, she had never accepted us. She always acted high and mighty, and was merciless as could be."

In some way, Yakira was just like Mary. The thing they hated most about Daisy was her innate noble aura. It was as if everyone had to submit to her stern and proud existence. Whenever Yakira saw that, she wanted nothing but to destroy her. That way, Daisy would no longer have such a commanding presence.

"Mrs. Ouyang, are you saying that Daisy is ungrateful? I'm not sure that argument holds. I remember witnessing what happened that night. How would you explain that, Mrs. Ouyang?"

Edward always thought that he met Daisy for the first time at Maple Night. But when he saw Yakira's face grimacing in anger just now, a memory immediately came to mind.
