"It's not your place to judge me. If you are really pregnant with his child, then I'll reiterate one last time; go to Edward directly instead of confronting me like this." Although her voice was calm and steady, Daisy clenched her fists tightly in rage. She wasn't sure whether Jessica was telling the truth or just putting on an act. But she couldn't let Jessica notice her dilemma.
"Don't you know it, Daisy? I won't come to you if you stop bothering him. Edward said that he would marry me. So you'd better leave before he gets rid of you." Jessica sneered coldly with her eyes fixed on Daisy. If she couldn't have Edward, she would make sure Daisy didn't end up with him either. She would do anything to break them up. She felt she might have a shot if Edward was single again.
"Miss Jessica, I'll leave if Edward agrees to marry you. But as of now, I'm his wife, so you better forget it! I don't give a damn whether you are pregnant or not. Stay the hell away from my husband. You don't want to mess with a Colonel, do you?" Daisy curled her lips. 'Jessica, you think I'm stupid? I won't get deceived so easily. I might have believed your nonsense a few days ago. But I won't bother listening to you, especially after Edward has declared his love for me.'
"Haha! How shameless of you, Daisy. How dare you call yourself his wife? This is just your wishful thinking! Did he even say that he wants to marry you?" Jessica was so pissed off upon hearing Daisy say 'I'm his wife' that she ignored the last words said by Daisy. Her face twitched hysterically.
"Jessica, you won't quit this nonsense, huh? What if I tell you that we got married six years ago? Do you still believe you stand a chance? If it is really Edward's child as you keep saying, have it for all I care. Raising another child won't be a problem for the Mu family. As for you... I'm sorry but I'm no saint, and I have no interest in sharing my husband with another woman. So stop bothering me and my husband."
It tore Daisy apart to know that Jessica bore Edward's child. But she hid her feelings behind her poker face and acted as calmly as she could. She was seething in agony inside, but she couldn't let Jessica see through her pain.
"What? That's impossible! I don't believe anything that comes out of your mouth, you shameless bitch! Haha... Six years ago? I have been by his side for the past few years, not you! Where were you all these years if you are married?" Jessica snapped at Daisy while shaking her head in disbelief. She didn't believe her. 'Edward had never mentioned that he has a wife and he was never seen with Daisy during those years. It must be a false pretext by Daisy to keep Edward to herself. That's it! She must be lying!' Jessica thought to herself, deliberating if there was any truth in Daisy's words.
"You can ask him if you don't believe me. I don't have to explain anything to you since it's our personal life. Is there anything else that you want to say to me, if not then I'd like to bid you goodbye." Daisy stood up and coldly gazed at Jessica, a glint of sadness flashing through her eyes. 'What do you have to say for yourself this time, Edward? Should I believe you?' Daisy was frustrated.
Jessica bit her lip and remained silent. She planned to insult Daisy in public. Instead, she was the one being insulted. Jessica gloomily fixed her eyes on Daisy, who was walking out of the cafe. She couldn't let Daisy walk away after shattering her pride into pieces. She had to set the score even. Thinking of that, Jessica gripped on the table to stand up. Legs still feeble and slightly trembling, Jessica tottered behind Daisy.
"Colonel, are you finished?" Mark jumped out of the driver's seat to open the door for Daisy as soon as he saw her. However, he frowned when he saw Daisy's pale face. He wondered what had happened to Daisy.
"Yes. Let's get out of here." Daisy was in a state of trance as her face turned white. She would be lying if she said that she wasn't affected by Jessica's words. She had tried hard to play cool, but the truth was that she was breaking down inside. She just didn't want Jessica to see her weakness.
"Stop right there! Daisy Ouyang!" Panting heavily, Jessica shouted out as Daisy was about to step into the car. She looked like an insane woman rather than a noble lady. Mark frowned and stepped forward to stand between her and Daisy.
"Anything else, Miss Jessica?" Daisy pulled Mark aside and glared at Jessica with obvious disgust in her eyes; her voice was as cold as ice.
"Nothing, I just hate your face." Jessica then raised her arm, ready to launch her palm on Daisy's face. But Mark didn't let her. He grabbed her hand and growled, "How dare you raise a hand on our Colonel Daisy? Are you insane?" Mark gripped Jessica's slim wrist, his eyes protruded in rage. He looked extremely sharp in his uniform. His guard was up when he saw Jessica follow Daisy to the car, and he was mentally prepared beforehand; otherwise, that insane woman would have hit Daisy before he realized.
