"I just want to give you a gentle reminder," Mary said unhappily, because she had thought Jessica would be so miserable that she was going to sleep on the street. Mary didn't expect that when Jessica heard the big figure, she wouldn't even frown. She couldn't help but wonder— was Lin Group really bought by FX International Group, or did Edward still have feelings for Jessica? If so, the so-called takeover would just be a formality.
"I am the one to remind you. How reliable is the person you hired? Don't forget, Daisy is not as fragile as any other ordinary women. It's not easy to take her down." As her belly was getting bigger and bigger day by day, Jessica got more desperate. She couldn't wait any longer.
"Don't worry! No matter how tough she is, as long as she is drugged, she will be as docile as a lamb." Mary said firmly with a trace of evilness in her eyes. She couldn't wait to humiliate Daisy.
"The question is, will she give you the chance to drug her?" Jessica hated the evil smile on Mary's face. Mary's smile was like Jessica's fancy to Edward, which also mocked her coldly.
"I can make that happen. You'll see." Mary curled her lip. It seemed Jessica wasn't as smart as she thought. She was just an ordinary woman.
"Mary, if you want to cooperate with me, you'd better watch your language." Jessica stared at Mary angrily. She knew that Mary despised her at this moment, but she wouldn't allow others to talk to her like that.
"Watch my language? Jessica, you are the one who needs to watch your language! Don't you think you are superior? You didn't expect to be miserable, did you?" Mary didn't care if she could cooperate with Jessica this time. Right now, all she wanted was to humiliate Jessica, and ruin her pride.
"You lunatic, tell me when you are ready. Now I am going to have an antenatal care. I don't want to waste my time talking to you," Jessica said, while taking money from her bag to pay for her coffee. Though she didn't drink, she didn't want to owe anything to a person like Mary.
"Pah, just an unacknowledged bastard. I don't know why she is so proud." Mary looked disdainfully at Jessica's back, and thought Jessica might be unable to have this baby successfully even if she underwent an antenatal care.
The afternoon was so sultry that it looked like it was about to rain. This made people feel extremely irritated. Jessica frowned as she walked out of the cafe. She turned around and smiled coldly at the transparent window. 'Mary, do you really think I'm going to work with you? Since there is a scapegoat, I must be stupid if I don't take advantage of it. I won't let such an opportunity slip through my hand, ' Jessica thought. Mary planned everything herself. And if Mary failed, Jessica could blame everything on the stupid woman, Mary, and she could stay out of it.
Jessica bit her lip lightly. 'Edward, you forced me to do this. I wouldn't do that to Daisy ever if you didn't treat me so cruelly and disown my baby. You treat her like a princess and this makes me want to destroy her.'
Jessica had no plan to go for an antenatal care. She just didn't want to stay any longer with Mary. She was afraid that she might get into trouble just like last time with Hank. She didn't want to be suspected by anyone, so she left the cafe discreetly and drove to Coco's place. Because of being banned by the FX International Group in the entertainment industry, Coco was in a bad mood. Jessica thought she should comfort her more. After all, all this happened because of Jessica.
"Daisy, what's going on? "Cynthia asked worriedly, seeing Edward coming in with Daisy in his arms. Cynthia immediately stood up and was worried about Daisy.
"Mom. I am okay. I just sprained my ankle accidentally." She had to face it. Even if she still felt embarrassed about what had happened last night, she had to face the big trouble that she brought to herself.
"You are so careless. Edward, what's the matter with you? How did Daisy get hurt while you didn't get hurt at all?" Cynthia's heart ached when she heard that Daisy was hurt. It seemed as if Edward were a stranger and Daisy were her own daughter. This kind of bond ought to be rare in other families.
"Do you think I should get hurt too? Are you my mother?" Edward placed Daisy on the sofa carefully, and gave his mother an unhappy stare. He also wished he was the one who got hurt. Unfortunately, God was so unkind that he didn't get what he wanted.
"I am just worrying about Daisy. You're not jealous, are you?" Although Cynthia said so, she was still looking at Daisy, without paying any attention to Edward. Right now, she was only worried about Daisy.
