"Girl, what did you hear? You seem quite confident about what you have on your mind." Rain frowned at her adorable face, but his eyes held a tender look.
"Well, I heard everything." Truth be told, Leena hadn't really heard everything. She had just caught their last few words. But she wanted to frighten them, so she indulged in a small lie. She had to, or they would get obnoxious. Leena couldn't allow that.
"Do you think your sis Daisy will trust your words? That all of us talked badly of her?" Edward smiled. To him, Leena was naive and inexperienced. That was why they all worried that she would get hurt in her marriage with Kevin.
"Who talked badly of me?" Daisy's cool voice sounded in everyone's ears. She suddenly came into sight.
"Sis, they did! And they even denied it when I said I had heard everything," Leena said gloatingly, smirking at them. These guys always treated her like she was a small, innocent kid. Now she held their secret in the palm of her hand! They would surely be rebuked by Daisy once she told her the truth.
"No! Daisy, I swear I did not speak badly of you! If you want to find a fighting partner, Edward is the excellent candidate! I really would not be a good choice." Tom was the first one to defend himself. It would be stupid of him to admit he had said anything that might spoil her image. And he hadn't anyway! All he said was that there was another man who had feelings for her. Those were hardly bad words.
"Daisy, I did not say anything either. Ask Edward! You will know I am telling you the truth." Rain had always respected Daisy as a colonel. So when Daisy turned to look at him, he put Edward in the line of fire and used him as his shield. Oh, he was not a loyal friend this time!
"Well, judging from what they are saying, you are the only one who talked badly of me!" Daisy said in warning, stepping toward her husband. He was surely going to be in great trouble!
"What do you think?" Watching her approach him, Edward was delighted. His insides danced with joy. A flattering smile came on his face which made the others present grimace. Oh, how the proud and arrogant Edward had become a slave to his wife!
"I think yes, definitely. By the way, where is Justin? I don't see him with you." Leng House was so huge. It was beyond Daisy's imagination. Today was the first time she had been here. It was much larger than Mu House, with some impressive landscape designing. It looked quite grand and magnificent.
