"There's a reason behind his actions. He sponsored the military equipment purchase and invited the military officials to attend the anniversary party. He did these things for me, didn't he?"
Complicated feelings surged in Daisy's heart. She didn't know how to describe how she felt. Edward had done so many things in secret for her. Usually, she would be angry that he had kept everything from her. But at this moment, she wasn't upset at all. Instead, she felt warm-hearted. Was this how it felt to be doted on by Edward? He removed all the barriers for her and never talked about his plans to her. All he showed in front of her was his sweet concern. Sometimes, he pleased her through flattery.
"The sponsorship cooperation started before you were reported anonymously. We discussed about it during our meeting. At that time, we thought the president of the FX International Group was strange, because he didn't state any terms that would be advantageous for his company. He only reserved rights for one requirement. As for what he wanted in detail, none of us knew. But he promised that his requirement would not pose any threat to the army and cause any problem. He said it would just be a minor requirement. Now, I understand him. He reserved the rights for you."
The commander had a high opinion of Edward. He was young, but he managed such a big company. What's more, FX International Group was well-developed in every aspect under his management. Though it was a family business he took over from his father, it couldn't have developed into such a grand tycoon without his clever brain and diplomatic shrewdness. The FX International Group was currently part of the top 10 most powerful corporations.
"I don't know. He didn't tell me about it at all. I only found out about the sponsorship the day before yesterday." Daisy grew slightly flustered. She had talked with Edward about it yesterday morning. Although she had been a little aggressive at that time, she didn't blame him for it. She just didn't like it when he kept things from her. She understood that it was his unique way of protecting her. But she preferred to face all difficulties together with him instead of being under his protection.
Kevin's heart jolted at Daisy's words. This was how Edward loved her. He had spent a lot of money on a project for Daisy and he did it discreetly. He chose not to let her know so as not to trouble her. What a considerate man! All of Edward's actions showed his care and love for his wife.
Kevin knew that Edward was arrogant and domineering. He was extremely rich and was a resourceful and astute strategist in the business world. He was so particular that even his way of caring for and loving his wife was so unique. He must love Daisy deeply in his heart.
"Yes, Daisy. Now you know everything. Actually, the military officials should have been aware about your situation. Despite this, I'm afraid this video has to be handed in in order to reveal the truth and prove your innocence. Besides, the investigation department has been keeping an eye on this matter. If we don't show them the video, they'll never let it go."
The commander knew Daisy was kind-hearted. If Hank crossed her, there was a high possibility that she would let it go. But Hank was a narrow-minded man. He was worried that Hank might keep setting her up in the future, so he brought up handing the video in without waiting for Daisy's opinion. Sometimes, a commander's suggestion was more like a decision. In this case, Hank wouldn't be able to do anything similar in the future.
"You can deal with it by following the standard procedure. I don't have any opinion about this." Knowing that this was the result that Edward wanted, Daisy agreed with the commander's decision despite feeling pity for Hank. Edward would be disappointed if she chose not to hand the video in. He was the most important person in her life. She didn't want to see him unhappy. Besides, he had done all these things for her sake.
