Chapter 44: I Actually Care Quite a Bit About My Image


    Trantor: 549690339


    Daisy Zane couldn’t detect any malice in Serena Buster, but she was naturally on guard against a stranger, especially one who had been peeking at her.


    “So?” Daisy’s voice was even colder than usual.


    Serena’s hand holding the ss trembled: “But I turned on my cell phone toote, and only recorded him cursing at you. Then… I also recorded Lilian Lopez looking for the martial arts instructor to make a deal. I—I was too scared, so I didn’t dare record a video; I just recorded the audio.”


    Daisy understood what she came for, but still asked, “Tell me why?”


    “I think it’s helpful to you.”


    “Really?” Daisy said straightly, “Do you think it’s helpful to me, or do you want to get rid of a problem for yourself?”


    Serena lowered her head and was silent for a while: “Both. But I’m too insignificant, I have nothing, my words carry little weight. Releasing this audio might not even create a ripple. It could also bring about some trouble.” “Then why do you think I would dare? And why would you think I would do it?”


    “You definitely dare, and you would definitely do it.” Serena was very sure about this.


    Daisy looked at her face and went through all her memories, finding no memory rted to this face; she must never have seen her before.


    Seeing that she didn’t speak, Serena took out her cell phone, and opened the pitch-ck video, cing it on the table.


    After a rustling sound, the martial arts instructor’s cursing voice came on.


    Then came the sound of Lilian Lopez talking, apanied by some nervous breathing. The audio was very clear, and it was obvious that it was her voice. This audio was a fatal blow to Lilian Lopez.


    There was no need to think about it; now Lilian’s entire team, including Olivia Chester, must be looking for ways to suppress this matter by pulling strings and relying on connections.


    Lilian dared to post that Facebook message because she must not have expected any evidence and likely had confidence in finding useful connections; that’s why she dared to post it.


    But they couldn’t have imagined that behind them was the rk Family of Imperial Capital.


    Lilian shouldn’t expect to live in peace.


    Moreover, even if Arthur North didn’t want to do anything more for the time being, Daisy wouldn’t let it rest.


    She never thought of herself aspassionate.


    +1f Lilian doesn’t want her to survive in the entertainment industry, the least severe oue for Lilian would be to disappear from the entertainment industry.


    If there was no audio, Lilian would quietly disappear from the public eye. With the audio, not only would it save a lot of trouble, but Lilian would also “spectacrly” disappear from the silver screen.


    “What are the conditions?” Daisy asked.


    “What conditions?” Serena didn’t understand.


    “The conditions to give me the audio.”


    Serena shook her head: “No conditions, just like you said, I can avoid a big problem. Yesterday, you must have heard how she humiliated me without treating me like a person. I hate her so much, sometimes I wish she were dead. But I’m too cowardly, I don’t dare to cause trouble, and I don’t dare to fight back; I won’t dare to do anything.”


    Daisy’s expression was faint, with no visible emotional change, as if she were an emotionless, unsympathetic machine.


    After listening to her, Daisy picked up her own cell phone, added Serena’s contact, and asked her to send the audio to her.


    Once the task waspleted, Serena left.


    At the entrance, Daisy suddenly said, “Many times, people bully you because they know you won’t fight back.”


    Serena stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Daisy, her eyes reddening.


    “If you don’t want those things to be shadows, you have to learn to shatter those that cause your shadows,” Daisy’s voice was cold, and she seemed unconcerned as she spoke.


    Serena wiped her eyes, “Thank you.”


    Daisy did not respond. After she left, Daisy closed the door and returned to the living room.


    Arthur North and Xavier Dominic had alreadye out.


    Xavier looked fine, but Arthur’s expression wasn’t great. It was… a bit serious and intimidating.


    Daisy nced at them, thinking they had something on their minds.


    But Xavier took out his phone and went outside on his own, saying, “I’m going to make a call; you guys talk.”


    Daisy listened to the sound of the room door opening and closing, her eyes slowly filling with confusion.


    Arthur stared at her for a while, then raised his hand to pinch his brow, “Lucia, do you remember what I told you?”


    “Huh?”


    He had said too many things; Daisy didn’t know which one he was referring to at the moment.


    “I said that in the drama crew, if anyone bullies you, beat them to death,” Arthur’s voice was cold and ruthless. After saying this, he forced himself to soften his tone a bit, “Why don’t you listen?”


    Daisy grinned, “I did hit him.”


    “Your strike was too light,” Arthur really wanted to drag the person out and personally waste him. Especially when he heard the cursing in the audio, he felt he had been too lenient.


    “I’m a girl, it wouldn’t be good if I hit too hard,” Daisy sat on the back of the sofa. Somehow, she felt happy seeing Arthur like this, “I’m… quite image-conscious.”


    Arthur immediately sensed her happiness, hesitated for a moment, and his expression softened, “Your image has always been very good, no matter what.”


    He paused and added, “Especially good.”


    Daisy lowered her head andughed.


    Arthur looked at the little girl in front of him, who wasughing with her head down, and felt somewhat helpless. After watching for a while, he couldn’t help but raise his hand and rub the top of her head, “Let’s go, to the guesthouse.”


    Daisy looked up at him, the corners of her eyes still filled with a fine hint ofughter, and hesitated for a moment.


    Arthur was also watching her, although smiling, his eyes were observing her reaction, whether she was repelled or disgusted by this action, and he wasn’t very sure in his heart.


    But Daisy just looked at him for a moment and then stood up from the sofa, saying, “I’ll grab a coat.”


    As he watched her enter the bedroom, Arthur slowly clenched his hand. It still had the feeling of her hair, and Daisy didn’t show any signs of repulsion.


    Thinking of this, Arthur lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth gently curved upwards.


    Theughter in his narrow, elongated eyes grew deeper and deeper; with the red corners of his eyes, it was both wicked and intoxicating.


    The guesthouse they were staying at was very nice; the town wasn’t very developed, but it had beautiful scenery.


    Half of the guesthouse was built on ake.


    There were lotus flowers in theke which Arthur liked. However, by this season, there were only a few flowers left, and the rest were either leaves or lotus pods.


    Upon arriving, Daisy walked along theke to the guesthouse, “Can these lotus pods be picked?”


    “Yes.” Arthur said as he bent down to pick two for Daisy.


    Daisy took them, nced at them, and felt the lotus seeds, “Can they be eaten?”


    “Yes,” Arthurughed, “I’ll peel them for you to tryter.”


    Xavier, who was following the two of them, heard their conversation and smiled..
