Chapter 247 The First Encounter (Part Two)


    "Really? Mrs. Ouyang, it seems that I''ve underestimated your ability to make things up. You''re


    actions. I also give Daisy absolute freedom, so I don''t ept your charges."


    Edward smiled coldly. He admitted that he used to indulge in debauchery, but he would pay for his past


    mistakes. He never thought of escaping responsibility and covering up his past. He had never been


    that kind of man.


    "Edward, my mother didn''t mean it like that. Please don''t be angry." Not expecting the scene to turn


    ugly so quickly, Mary swiftly jumped in to calm things down. She was also annoyed with her mother.


    She was supposed to be helping her! Why did sheplicate things and get into a fight with Edward?


    Edward scoffed, "Angry? Because of you? If I don''t know the truth, I may sympathize with you a bit. But


    I know everything, and you''re just a couple of nobodies to me. Do you think I would waste my sparse


    emotions on someone so inconsequential?" Edward looked at the two women in disgust. If he hadn''t


    been raised well, he would''ve pped Yakira several times already. Good upbringing made him


    restrain his anger.


    "Mary, why are you still here?" Yakira was feeling confident about keeping a hold on Edward, but his


    words made her falter and give up the fantasy. She vented her frustrations on Mary. There was no


    longer a need to stay and keep arguing. She didn''t need Edward; there was no shortage of excellent


    men in the world.


    "Mom, what are you doing? I haven''t finished talking to Edward." Mary was infuriated by Yakira''s


    outrageous remarks. If Yakira hadn''t been so aggressive and hadn''t brought up Edward''s past


    indiscretions against him, things wouldn''t have gone off the rails like this.


    "You brat! Don''t you have a brain? After he''s been so ruthless, you still want to stay and be humiliated


    even more?" Yakira was annoyed with her useless daughter. How could she stay here and be talked


    down to by someone young enough to be her son? Edward was definitely the best of the best, but


    Yakira wouldn''t let Mary be bullied by anyone, even him.


    "No. You can go if you want, but I''m not leaving. Edward isn''t unreasonable. You''re just being overly


    sensitive." Mary knew that if she left, it would be impossible for her to find an excuse to approach


    Edward again. Even if she had to y dumb, she would do anything to stay here.


    "Tom, we''re leaving." Edward wasn''t a nice guy. He wasn''t in the mood to indulge the two women and


    stay any longer. With a contemptuous look on his face, he stood up first. Although he was aware of


    Mary''s delusional desire for him, he thought she was punching above her weight. Knowing how stupid


    Mary was, Edward wondered how a moron like her got to bully his woman.


    "Alright. I''m sorry, Mrs. Ouyang. But we have to go now." After listening to the lengthy exchange, Tom


    still apologized out of courtesy before they took off. His good manners made Yakira''s eyes light up.


    Speaking of great men, there was one standing right in front of her. Although Tom didn''t have the kind


    of family background that Edward had, his potential shouldn''t be ignored.


    "Edward, don''t leave! We can talk about this!" Mary bit her lip, looking on the verge of tears. She


    grabbed Edward''s hand tightly and refused to let go. No matter what, she decided that Edward was the


    only man she would marry. After encountering so many vulgar men, she became addicted to Edward''s


    noble elegance. If she could win this man''s love, it would be her greatest happiness.


    "Miss Ouyang, watch yourself. You''re being too familiar." Edward red at her from the corner of his


    eyes, looking at her without a trace of affection.


    "Well... I..." Mary reluctantly let go of Edward''s hand. She helplessly watched him stride out of her sight


    before turning to Yakira in indignation.


    "Mom, it doesn''t matter if you don''t want to help me, but don''t ruin my chances with him! I waited a long


    time for this opportunity. Do you know what you just did?" Mary was so furious that she reached her


    breaking point. If Yakira wasn''t her mother, she would''ve pped her across the face already.


    "Mary, are you ming this on me? Don''t forget that I''m your mother. Didn''t you see Edward''s attitude


    towards you? Give up your fantasies, he''s not going to fall for you. There are a lot of outstanding men


    in this world. Why does it have to be Edward Mu?"


    Yakira couldn''t be more disappointed in her daughter. She was yelling at her mother for a man who


    wouldn''t even look at her. Yakira had coddled Mary for many years in fear that she wouldn''t be loved by


    Leo Ouyang. This was the reason she schemed to drive Daisy away. Mary''s ungratefulness saddened

    her.


    "Mom, I didn''t mean it like that. You know how much I like Edward! Why did you have to be contentious


    towards him? I have spent a lot of time to finally get close to him, but you ruined everything!" Mary


    couldn''t helpining to her mother in distress. She didn''t know how to exin how important


    Edward was to her. Without him, Mary didn''t want to live any longer. She must have him by any means


    necessary.


    "Let''s go! We''ll talk about this when we get home." Yakira noticed that a lot of people had stopped to


    stare at them. She couldn''t let herself be embarrassed any further in front of so many people. They had


    to leave as soon as possible.


    Mary realized that she was making a scene. At Yakira''s words, she noticed the inquisitive looks from


    the others. Despite her anger, she had to restrain it. She stomped her feet in exasperation and followed


    Yakira out of the restaurant. After they left, the restaurant went back to its original quiet ambiance.
