"Although I don't live in the suburbs, I work on the military base, it's far from here. Got a problem with that?" Daisy squinted at Mary. She wore her uniform today, so she sat up straight, as a good soldier should. She looked very spirited and there was no trace of laziness in her image.
"Okay, I'll drop it. I only want to know why you caused problems between my mother and my father. Do you still want to come back to our house? Do you think it possible?"
Mary turned the cup in her hand and stared at Daisy in an aggressive manner, her eyes full of contempt. She hated Daisy to the core. Why she was always blessed by the gods? Why did she easily get all the nice things in the world? First, she was born into a good family. Then she got married to a handsome man and became the mother of an adorable boy. What was more irritating to Mary was that Daisy climbed up to the high position of a Colonel at such a young age. All these were something she couldn't get even if she toiled and struggled for her whole life, while Daisy getting them so easily as if they were at her fingertips. How could she not feel envious, jealous and hateful?
"Your house? Huh! As a Colonel, I don't miss that dirty place at all! Why do you think I'd even want to?"
Although she said it easily, she felt very sad in her heart. Mary said "my father", yes! From the moment when Mary and Yakira entered the house, Daisy's father had become Mary's father. Daisy couldn't remember any moment that she could feel her father's love for her since they came. So Mary was right. It was Daisy's fault to still hold onto the sweet memory she enjoyed in childhood, even her relationship with her family had come to this hopeless point.
"Since you don't miss the place, why did you start trouble between my parents by saying that my mother took 500 million from Edward's family? Do you think you're really worth such a huge amount of money?"
Mary hummed with a sneer and looked at Daisy closely from head to toe, showing a disapproving and contemptuous look. It was true that Daisy had a good family background and had a good look, but Mary still didn't believe that Edward's family would spend 500 million on the marriage. It was an exorbitant amount.
"I have never thought that I could be measured by money. Are you saying that you can be bought by the pound? As for whether your mother has taken 500 million or not, you'd better ask your mother yourself. Because she was the one who said it."
