Chapter 558 Just a Petty Official


    Edward moved over to the bedside and looked at Daisy with a tender expression on his face, as if she


    were a painting he never got tired of looking at. He was afraid that he would lose her one day. Daisy


    was always giving him surprises. He was touched.


    Edward pinched her nose lightly. Daisy woke up, batting her long beautiful eyshes. When she saw


    Edward, she closed her eyes again before suddenly sitting up in bed. But she had to lie back down


    because her body was so sore and numb.


    "Slow down. No need to be so excited to see me." Edward joked with a charming smile, but Daisy


    wasn''t attracted.


    "Edward, what time is it? Why didn''t you wake me up? Damn it. I''mte," Daisy said angrily. Edward


    seemed rxed while she was sore all over. She felt a lot more tired than usual after training. She just


    wanted to keep lying down and not move at all.


    "It''s okay. Go back to sleep. I already asked for leave for you." Edward sat on the bed andforted


    her. He patted her shoulder as if she were a baby.


    "Really? Okay, I''ll just sleep a while more. Then I''ll go to work." Daisy mumbled. She held Edward''s


    waist and stroked his arm. Feeling peaceful and safe in his presence, she soon fell asleep. Edward sat


    still helplessly. He wouldn''t be able to keep the same position for long. After a while, his body would


    be stiff.


    He sighed and climbed onto the bed. He lied down next to her and settled her head on his arm. He


    watched her quietly, feeling grateful to have her in his life. Otherwise, he would never have known what


    true love was.


    Yakira and Mary spent the night in the police station. Every person who went in and out looked at them


    curiously. The intense humiliation they felt made them hate Daisy even more.


    "Mom, it''s morning already. Is that bitch really so ruthless as to keep us here all night? Forget dad. You


    are Brian''s mom. He has always been good to her, she shouldn''t have thrown us here! We''re not even


    allowed to post bail. What the hell? Does she think we know nothing about thew? What''s wrong with


    the legal counsel of Ouyang Foreign Trade? I called him so many times but he never answered the


    phone. Is he trying to get fired?"


    Mary gritted every word through her teeth. Edward had been a sitting duck to her, but then Daisy came


    and ruined everything. After a night in the police station, her hatred grew. She had said those words to


    provoke her mother''s hate for Daisy. She wanted Yakira to hate Daisy as much as she did, because


    Yakira was not a forgiving person. She would get back at whoever offended her. In that case, Yakira


    would still be Mary''s ally and would keep helping her get Edward.

    "Shut up! As my daughter, how can you be so dumb? Not only can you not hold onto a man, but also


    you''re not perceptive at all!" Yakira was furious with how Mary had answered the police officer''s


    questions. She had been stupid enough to admit to drugging Edward. She even asked how the police


    knew about it! Thinking of her foolish actions, Yakira couldn''t help but snap at her.


    "What about you? If you hadn''t offended Edward, he wouldn''t have hated me so much." Mary pursed


    her lips. She didn''t find anything wrong with what she had done, and med it all on Yakira.


    "Mary, when will you grow up? Look at how sessful Daisy is, then look at yourself! Should I go on?"


    Yakira now realized the importance of fame and power. Daisy didn''t even need to show herself in


    person, just a call from her could make the chief of the Public Security Bureau immediatelye over


    and pick them up himself. Even Edward would not be able to do that. Compared to Daisy, Mary not


    only had no skills but also didn''t know how to adapt to the changing situation. Suddenly, it hit Yakira


    that she and Mary had been beaten by Grace and Daisy. Her face became extremely hideous at the


    thought.


    "Mom, how can you praise your enemy and belittle your own daughter? Daisy is just a petty official. No


    big deal. She might have traded herself to get that position. Who knows?" Mary didn''t think that Daisy


    was better than her. She only had a better family background and good luck.


    "At least she''s beautiful. Look at yourself. What do you have?" The imprisonment made Yakira anxious.


    No doubt that Edward would retaliate against her. The first person that he would find and ally himself


    with would be Leo, which would put her in a very tight spot. Helplessly locked up in the police station,


    she didn''t have a chance to exin herself to Leo.


    "Yes, I have nothing while Daisy is outstanding in every way. But don''t you forget, like mother like


    daughter. I got my looks from you, so don''t me me for my appearance." Yakira was a good teacher.


    By her example, Mary had be as calcting and vulgar as her.


    "Be quiet!" A policeman shouted just as Yakira was about to yell at Mary. Yakira and Mary dropped the


    argument in surprise. Seething in anger, they refused to talk to each other and fell into deep thought


    about different things. The harder it was to acquire something, the more valuable it appeared. Mary


    was thinking about Edward. She couldn''t get his handsome face and distinguished presence out of her


    mind.


    Meanwhile, Yakira was thinking about how to deal with Edward''s retaliation. Since Mary was so


    obsessed with Edward, Yakira had nned to let Mary take the fall for everything if their n failed.


    Then she could get more time to figure out her next move. Ironically, Daisy showed up and sent them


    to prison. It seemed that time had made Daisy ruthless. She was no longer a weak girl anymore.


    "Excuse me. When can we be released? We''ve been kept here all night. If they want to file charges


    against us, don''t they have to present the evidence?" Seeing her mom wasn''t in the mood to talk to her,


    Mary turned to the policeman with a charming smile on her face.


    "How should I know? I was told by my superior that you offended someone important. It''s up to her


    when you get released." Actually, the policeman was also confused about the situation. There had


    been no interrogation since Yakira and Mary were brought in, but they couldn''t be released anyway.


    And the chief had picked them up himself. Everything left him puzzled.


    "Important? She''s just a colonel. Who cares?" Mary assumed that a colonel was simr to a manager


    in a firm. There was nothing to be afraid of.


    "What? Just a colonel? Tell me, what kind of position do you think is important enough?" The


    policeman stared at her in disbelief. He couldn''t believe his ears. These were the most ridiculous words


    he had ever heard. How could they be so arrogant? Were they more powerful than Daisy?


    "How powerful is a colonel?" Mary asked. They weren''t going anywhere and she had nothing better to


    do anyway. She took the opportunity to find out more about Daisy and why she was so haughty.


    Yakira''s mouth moved, as if she had something to say, but in the end nothing came out of her mouth.


    Daisy had made the chief of the Public Security Bureau pick them up himself, but her stupid daughter


    still couldn''t see Daisy''s power. Mary thought Daisy was only a petty official. Since Yakira was too


    pissed to talk to her, she decided to remain silent and let the policeman exin it to Mary.


    "What do you think? She doesn''t even give a damn about our chief, you can imagine how powerful she


    is. It''s not your fault that you can''t understand all this. After all, you''re not a politician. It''s bad luck that


    you have offended her, though! Pray for yourself." The policeman sighed and shook his head. He was


    rendered speechless by Mary''s ignorance. He decided to go back to work. It was always wise to talk


    less and do more work. He didn''t want to get into trouble.
