It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 401

One hundred million and one was a large sum of money to Daisy, but it was only a fraction to Edward. With an elegant stroke of his golden pen on the check, 'A Beauty's Tears of Blood' now belonged to Daisy.

As Daisy's slender fingers stroked the seemingly pulsing crystals of the necklace, she felt her mother's warmth. When her fingertips touched the bloody teardrop-shaped stone, she felt suffocated.

In Daisy's memory, her mother was a gentle beautiful woman with a delicate classical bearing that few modern women possessed. Eyes would follow her at the sight of her striking elegance. Daisy's heart trembled when she touched the sparkling stone. It felt as if she could feel her mother's tears and blood.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the melancholy on Daisy's face, Edward frowned and wondered what triggered her emotions.

"This necklace used to belong to a royal family in the Qing Dynasty. In that case, my mother was the offspring of an aristocratic family. That's why she seemed so distinguished, "

Daisy replied offhandedly, without moving her eyes away from the necklace in her hands.

"Then it sounds like I married a member of the royal family. My status seems to have been elevated. I'm related to an emperor now. You can't call me a sly businessman anymore."

Unable to see Daisy so sad, Edward made a joke every time she got upset to distract her.

"Hey! You're haggling with me again. This is exactly why you're a sly businessman." Daisy laughed at Edward's quip, temporarily forgetting the painful memory about her mother.

"Let's get out of here. Time to go home, honey." Edward smiled affectionately. He didn't mind what she said, as long as she was happy. All businessmen had to be sly to succeed. Edward took Daisy's words as a compliment.

"Okay." Daisy carefully put the necklace back into the case before walking outside with Edward. Everyone around them cast envious looks at her when they passed by.

"Wait!" Jessica shouted behind them just as Edward and Daisy were about to enter the car.

"What can I do for you, Miss Lin?" Instead of the indifferent mask she usually wore, Daisy had a happy smile on her face. It seemed the necklace made her very happy. But in Jessica's eyes, Daisy's smile was mocking.

"Edward, the Lin Group's stocks keep dropping. Do you have anything to do with it?" Jessica ignored Daisy and fixed her eyes on Edward.

"Yes, I do," Edward said indifferently. Jessica was lucky that he hadn't gotten even with her yet. She was bold enough to come to Edward like this.

"Why?" Hearing Edward's response, Jessica staggered with shock. Reality was so cruel. Edward admitted it so easily, he didn't even care to deny it. Jessica was mortified, she felt like a clown in Daisy's presence.

"Think about what you did! Since you didn't take my warning seriously, prepare for the consequences!"

Edward retorted, ice flashing in his blue eyes. Jessica's last hope shattered.

"I... I don't know what you're talking about." Jessica averted her eyes nervously. What did Edward mean? Had he found out what she and Hank had done to Daisy? No. That was impossible. She had been so careful. Edward couldn't know. But something upset him. What was it?

"Hmph! You don't know? You'll find out soon." Edward smiled coldly. It wasn't time to alert his adversaries yet. Jessica would find out what she had done wrong after Edward dealt with Hank.

Daisy watched Edward and Jessica quietly. She didn't know what was going on between them, so she didn't engage in their conversation. But from Edward's ruthless words, she figured Jessica must've crossed the line. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so pissed.

"You... Do you have to destroy the Lin Group? What about me and the unborn baby?" Jessica thought her baby was her last weapon to change the situation. Even if Edward didn't care, the child was real.

"What about you? There's no connection between us. As for the baby, it has nothing to do with me. Luke, give her the medical examination report."

It was a mistake to try to fool Edward.

"Yes, Mr. Mu." Luke was waiting by the car. Edward had asked him to bring back the medical examination report from the hospital a couple of days ago, so he knew exactly which report Edward meant.

"Everything you want to know is in that report. Don't ever mention that your baby is mine again! Honey, let's go."

Edward gave Jessica a cold look and got into the car with Daisy. His indifference made Jessica's face deathly pale. What report? Did Edward have something against her? Jessica got flustered at the thought.

"Miss Lin, this is Mr. Mu's medical examination report. I hope you can stop disturbing Mr. and Mrs. Mu's life. They're very happy together, and that's not going to change."

Luke handed Jessica the report and left indifferently. His responsibility was to protect Edward. He wasn't interested in seeing Jessica's embarrassed reaction.

Jessica had an idea what the report might say. Looking at the folded piece of paper, she felt her heart sink. She was afraid her worries would come true.

She opened the paper with trembling hands and felt devastated after reading its contents.
