"Yeah, you're right. Nothing is wrong with women looking at hot guys. Funny you should be expecting a honey trap from me. But seriously, since you have a great relationship with Daisy, you should pay for what she did to me." Though it had been a long time, the thought of those gross men on top of her made Jessica want to puke. Just like any other woman, deep down, she also cared about her purity. Especially when she was deeply in love with someone.
"Are you high? I have to warn you, it's not easy to make me do anything I don't want to." Despite of being surrounded by a group of men flashing evil looks, Cynthia remained calm. However, she was a little taken aback by this bold move Jessica had made. What was she thinking? It was broad daylight and they were in the downtown area of the city right now. She wondered if it had ever occurred to Jessica that what she was planning to do could be seen by other people passing by. It wouldn't take much for a passing motorist to take notice and call the cops.
"Why not? Now that I have told you what I want, don't expect to walk out here as easily as you walked in," Jessica sneered. She looked at Cynthia's graceful face and couldn't help but think about her own mother. She was a gentle woman too, but not as lucky. Not every woman could have what Cynthia had - a husband who adored her and an insanely rich son.
"I don't know if I can walk out here safe and sound, but I sure know that you can't." Having no intention of drinking any of it, Cynthia glanced at the cup of tea in front of her with a scornful look.
"Haha, What an arrogant woman! No wonder Edward is so arrogant. I guess people in your family always think that they have as much power as they can get to do whatever they want. Well, this time, I am afraid you're going to be disappointed." Confident about her plan, Jessica smiled as she ran her hand casually through her hair, eyes filled with slyness.
"Right now, I don't think we can tell who'll be disappointed in the end. Who knows what could happen?" Cynthia had an sophisticated beauty that went beyond her natural good looks. Being the wife of the leader of The Mayfly, she had the opportunity to see all kinds of unusual things, which helped Cynthia acquire the ability to stay calm in face of unexpected, even dangerous situations. That was why she remained unaffected and showed no sign of panic when Jessica tried to intimidate her or when the group of men closed in on her.
"Mrs. Mu, I have always wanted to ask you something. Is Daisy really worth you going this far to protect her?" For a long time, this question had haunted Jessica. She couldn't see exactly what it was Daisy had that made Cynthia value her that much. Now that she had a chance to ask, she was determined to find out.
"The answer is very simple: yes. As to why? Because she has a golden heart," Cynthia replied. Without too much decoration, those few plain words were exactly what Daisy reminded Cynthia of when she thought of her.
