Miss, My Father loves you novel Chapter 13

Zack's face was grim.

He couldn't believe his ears.

"Be thankful Bennie likes you, but that's not a pass for you to not fear me," Zack reminded her.

"Mr. Ji, I promised Bennie that I will stay and cook for him. But if you don't want to see me, I'll be leaving then.

He was a dangerous man she shouldn't offend. So she proceeded to take off her apron and leave.

Zack reached out his hand to stop Daryl. He frowned and said, "Don't go. I have promised Bennie and I don't want to break it."

Daryl bit her lip and glared at him. "Then leave. Stop bothering me."

Her red eyes made Zack feel torn.

"This is my home. Who do you think you are to drive me away?"

"You're being unreasonable!" Daryl was feeling frustrated.

Zack was not happy with her response. He grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the wall.

He raised his hand and held Daryl's chin tightly.

"Unreasonable? How many times have you provoked me? Are you playing hard to get?" Zack lowered his gaze, from her face down to her collar. He felt breathless.

"You think too much, Mr. Ji. Also, don't touch me. You're always pestering me. I might think that you like me." Daryl held her breath.

Zack's face had a dark expression.

Daryl's phone rang and interrupted the tension between them.

It was Candida.

Daryl knew that Candida was up to no good, but she badly wanted to stay away from Zack. So she answered the phone.

Zack looked stern.

He really wanted to punish her for she dared to answer the call when she was in his arms.

Before Daryl could speak, Candida's arrogant voice came from the other end of the line.

"Daryl, it's all your fault. I'm in trouble now. Don't you ever think that you can win. Do you think that Leon will come back to you. You wish. I won't let you get a chance to turn over for the rest of your life. You owe me this!"

Candida was fuming that she didn't bother to keep her usual image. She kept cursing on the phone.

Daryl's heart ached. She regarded Candida as her own sister. "Candida, why are you treating me like this? What have I done wrong to you? Why do you hate me so much?"

"Since you don't know, I'll tell you. It's because I'm also a daughter of Martin Ye. With you and your mother around, he refused to recognize me! He wouldn't admit my identity even though he took me to the Ye family. How heartless he was! I'm also his daughter. Why did he treat us differently?"

Do you know how much I hate you? Damn you, Daryl Ye! It's you who took away the identity of Mrs. Lu!"

Candida's animosity towards Daryl could not be mistaken.

When Daryl heard her accusations, she felt her chest tighten from the shock.

She was teary-eyed at that point and tightened her grip on the phone.

"What did you say?" Daryl muttered in disbelief.

She thought that Candida was adopted by their parents.

It turned out Candida was her half-sister.

"I said that Martin Ye is my father. Your mother doesn't know about it, does she?" Candida laughed maniacally. "I'm his child from another woman! You are an abandoned woman now. Let's see if anyone would even want you."

"Shame on you! Candida Ye! You..."

Daryl almost broke down.

Quivering, her grip loosened that her phone was snatched away.

Daryl raised her head only to find that Zack was already holding her phone. "Miss, can you repeat what you just said?"

"Who's this?" Candida raised her voice, "She's just a loose woman. She slept with another man behind her husband. She's too full of herself to not see that." "And?" Zack pursed his lips as he spoke indifferently.
