Chapter 546 Who Would Have the Last Laugh
"Ah!" Not only did Leo treat her badly, but awyer disrespected her. Yakira lost her temper. She tossed
the file on the floor furiously and then stomped on it hard to channel her anger.
"Mom, what''s the matter? Why are you so angry?" Hearing Yakira''s shouting, Mary rushed downstairs,
looking worried.
"It''s nothing. Is Brian upstairs?" Yakira didn''t want to tell her daughter about her frustration. Leo had
made her lose all confidence. She wanted to retain herst bit of dignity.
"No, he might be gone. What''s all this about?" Mary asked and bent over to pick up the file.
"Nothing. Give it to me." Yakira tried to get the file back, but Mary seemed to have anticipated her move
and quickly took a few steps back, just out of Yakira''s reach.
"Mom, this is out of line. Dad just mentioned divorce yesterday, and today he has already signed the
papers and had someone deliver it? How can he be such a bully?" Mary said angrily after reading the
file.
"A woman is better off marrying someone whom she doesn''t love than marrying someone who doesn''t
love her. I''m a perfect example. And about Edward, you''d better think carefully before you do anything.
I don''t want you to end up like me and regret everything. It will be toote by then," Yakira said. Since
Mary had seen the file, it would be pointless to keep it from her. She felt obliged to remind Mary of the
importance of choices.
"Mom, we''re in totally different situations." Although Mary was worried about her parents'' divorce, she
wanted Edward too much, she wasn''t going to give up her ns.
"Don''t be too confident. Edward isn''t easy to manipte. Think about Jessica. Didn''t you see what
happened to her? Do you really think you''re smarter than her?" Although Yakira was selfish and
wanted to use Mary to get what she wanted, she didn''t want something bad to happen to her daughter.
She had to help her think clearly. Sound advice often sounds harsh.
"Men change. They all abandon the old for the new. Just wait. Edward will get tired of Daisy one day
and I won''t miss that opportunity." Mary sounded sure of winning, as if Edward woulde to her with
the slight move of her little finger.
"Don''t underestimate her. She''s not the same girl we drove out. She''s stronger, more confident." Mary
had thought that Daisy would be miserable and live among the dregs of society after she left the house.
Unexpectedly, she had be a colonel. Now Mary regretted that she hadn''t kept Daisy in the house.
In that case, by now she would have destroyed her and ruined her life. She wouldn''t have be so
strong and powerful.
"Humph, no matter how strong she is, I know better than her about how to treat men. So where shall
we start? I want this n to go off without a hitch." Mary was anxious while her mom seemed calm.
"Be patient. Timing is everything. How can you seed if you are always so impatient?" Yakira
furrowed her brows. She didn''t believe a foolish girl like Mary would be able to steal Edward''s love.
Unlike Mary, she was cautious. Although she had some personal business with Edward too, and it was
pressing, she would wait until everything was ready, because Edward was too shrewd to take the bait
and Daisy was tough.
"But how long do we have to wait?" Mary was out of patience. Edward was too enticing to her. She
wanted to get closer to him. Now.
"A couple more days. Remember, a watched pot never boils. He will still be yours if he is meant to be."
Yakira was a little annoyed. Her own matter hadn''t been settled yet, she wasn''t in the mood to focus on
Mary''s.
Edward was working on his scheme against Yakira while Yakira and Mary were discussing their
conspiracy against him. But who would have thestugh?
Days went by. The opportunity Yakira and Mary had been waiting for finally came. When they met
Edward at the gate of Sexy World, they were both excited. They had been seeking an opportunity to
get close to him. Now it presented itself. But they had no idea that Edward hade there on purpose.
"Edward, fancy seeing you here. Are you alone?" Mary went up to him immediately, beaming with joy.
She attempted to take him by the arm, but Edward moved away.
"Yeah. Daisy went to inspect the troops in a neighboring city this morning. And my friends are all
unavable, so I came here to rx." It was true that Daisy had gone to the neighboring city, but his
friends were not unavable. Edward had gone there alone intentionally, because he was afraid things
might backfire if they tagged along.
"Mind if we join you?" Mary suggested. Yakira had been depressed these days because of the ongoing
divorce, so Mary convinced her toe here and have a drink. She hadn''t expected to meet Edward
here. In such a big city, they showed up in the same ce at the same time. Mary thought it was fate.
She and Edward were meant to be together.
"Um..." Edward pretended to hesitate, as if he had been put in an awkward situation. In the meantime,
he stole a nce at Yakira, as if he was worried that she would disagree.
"Mr. Mu, if it is Okay, let''s have a drink together. We are sort of rtives after all. Drinks on me." Yakira
was reluctant to ept Daisy as a member of the Ouyang family. In addition, Leo was trying to force
her into a divorce, and it was because of Daisy. But with all the despicable things she had done in the
past, she had to put her dignity aside and invited Edward to a drink.
"I''m ttered to be a rtive of yours. I will have that drink with you, though." Edward put on a cordial
face. He secretly thought that if he epted them as his rtives, Daisy would beat him up. So heN?velDrama.Org holds this content.
wasn''t too friendly with them.
"Really? Let''s go in then." Mary wasn''t as sophisticated as Yakira. When she heard Edward agree, she
jumped up excitedly.
"Mrs. Ouyang, please," Edward said with a smile. He behaved politely, which helped him keep a
distance from them.
He had chosen his usual box. He was used to its decor and hated to adapt to new things. He was
nostalgic.
He gracefully strode over to the sofa and sat down casually, as if Yakira and Mary were not there.
However, his behavior didn''t seem inappropriate but distinguished. He looked like a lion that had just
woken up, sluggish yet domineering.
Mary purposely sat beside Edward, and looked at him in admiration. Yakira was very disappointed in
her and doubted she could do anything to attract Edward.
"What would you like to drink? My treat," Edward said. Then he frowned at the perfume Mary was
wearing. It was too strong. He preferred the jasmine fragrance Daisy usually wore. It was his favorite.
"No. We agreed that it was our treat," Yakira said. Sexy World was a fancy ce and its customers
were all upper-ss. However, Yakira felt ufortable there. As a senior, clubs didn''t suit her.
Besides, she was conspiring against Edward, so right now she had a guilty conscience like a thief.
"It''s okay. It won''t cost much. And you are a senior. I can''t let you pay," Edward said calmly. He had
been polite the whole night. He used to be very aggressive every time he was around Yakira and Mary.
"Mr. Mu, you are too polite. Okay, since you are familiar with this ce, I''d like you to order for me."
Yakira didn''t say that out of courtesy. It was her first time to be in a club. She was clueless.
"No problem. What about you, Miss Ouyang?" Edward asked. He sounded formal and indifferent.
Tonight his target was Yakira, so he didn''t want to waste time on Mary. Yet he had to put on a
performance, in case Yakira saw through him.
"I trust your taste, Edward. Call me Mary. I am not used to you calling me Miss Ouyang. It sounds
weird," Mary said, pouting. She didn''t like Edward''s indifference to her.
"It''s just a form of address. There''s no need to take it seriously," Edward said with a smile. Things had
just gotten started, he had to maintain his friendly attitude. Yakira was much smarter than Mary. His
whole n would be finished if Yakira sensed something was amiss..
