Chapter 1742 Illegal Detention (Part Three)


    As soon as she disappeared behind the bathroom door, Rain got lost in his thoughts again. He was


    considering how he should deal with this thing with Tiana. He really wanted to help her get through this


    problem. If her crazy old mother, Sheena found out where she was, she would surely be taken back


    and be forced to marry that old man. He just had to do something to stop it. Tiana shouldn''t have to be


    used as the sacrificialmb and marry the old man for the sake of her family! Rain wouldn''t let this


    happen to her. He didn''t know why he was so keen on helping Tiana, but his gut told him that it was the


    right thing to do.


    In the evening, Rain gave Edward a call, asking him for a favor.


    "What''s the matter?" Edward picked up the call and walked out on the balcony. Daisy just got out of the


    shower and was blowing her hair so it was a bit noisy in the room. He stepped out so that he could


    hear Rain better.


    "Yeah. Can you do me a favor? Can you talk to your father and ask him to check if Tiana is really


    Sheena''s biological daughter? I have a feeling that she might have been adopted." The more Rain


    thought about this, the more Rain believed that there was a big possibility of Tiana being an adopted


    child. He didn''t think that it was possible for a mother to do such a vile thing to her own daughter.


    Besides, he never thought that Sheena really cared about the young Tiana. Her motherly love always


    seemed a bit fake to him.


    "Are you serious? Why? What''s going on?" Rain''s words piqued Edward''s interest. He also wondered,


    since when did Rain start to care about anyone from the Ke family. Why did Rain care about Tiana so


    much? He just couldn''t make sense of it.


    "Yes, I am serious. Today, in front of thepany, I heard Sheena talking. She used a wrong word that


    made me suspicious about it. She must have slipped unintentionally," Rain answered in a serious tone.


    If Tiana was indeed not Sheena''s real daughter, then so many things would make sense. He really


    hoped that Edward''s father could help him find the truth about it.


    "Okay. I will ask my father for you." Edward had heard that Tiana, unlike the rest of her family, was


    indeed very nice to Rain. That was the reason why he decided to help her. Besides, he was also


    curious to know the truth himself.


    "Thank you. But please make it quick. And don''t forget about the evidence for the car ident," Rain


    reminded Edward again. He had a feeling that something big was about to be revealed, and he couldn''t


    help but feel excited about it.


    "All right, all right! Stop rushing me! Both of these things will take time," Edward said in an annoyed


    tone and rolled his eyes at Rain''s excitement. ''Give me a break, will you?'' he couldn''t help but think to


    himself. He himself also had a lot of things to do.


    "Okay. Then I won''t disturb you anymore. You can go back to your thing. Thank you and bye!" Rain


    teased with a knowing grin on his face. He thought that Edward was this agitated and impatient


    because he had interrupted him in the middle of something important. Maybe he interrupted him and


    Daisy? No wonder he was this annoyed.


    "Go back to my thing? What thing? What are you talking about? Jeez! Get your mind out of the gutter,


    will you?" After these words, Edward immediately hung up the phone without even waiting for Rain to


    reply. Rain was getting cheekier and cheekier recently. Maybe it had something to do with his new


    found family? Or maybe it was because now that he had his ownpany, he thought that he could


    start acting brash in front of Edward? But Rain must not forget, though he had his ownpany now,


    he still had to work for Edward who by now, had be a master of the trade.


    "Who called you? Why do you seem so irritated?" Daisy walked out on the balcony after her hair had


    gotten dry. She felt confused. Why did Edward seem so angry? Who called to ruin his evening like this?


    "Of course it was Rain, that brat. Who else could it be? He told me to go back to my thing. He has been


    acting audaciously, especially now, that son of a bitch. Do you have any idea what he meant by ''go


    back to my thing''? Do you know what thing he was referring to?" Edward fumed, intentionally asking his


    wife. Of course he knew what Rain was talking about. He watched Daisy''s face closely, trying to figure


    out what she was thinking. He really wanted to see how she would react.


    "I have no idea what he meant. Besides, how and why should I know? You were the one he was talking


    to." With these words, Daisy turned around and walked back to the bedroom. She knew what Edward


    was trying to do. She could easily see through her husband. And she would surely not walk into his


    trap.


    "You don''t even want to guess?" Edward quickly walked after her, not easily letting this go.


    "No. I still have work to do. I am not as bored as you, you know," Daisy retorted while picking up her


    pace. She knew that Edward must be up to no good, and she didn''t want to engage him by getting


    herself into trouble. So, she''d better get out of there quickly.


    "Senior Colonel Ouyang, are you afraid? Afraid to have even a little guess?" Edward stopped in his


    tracks and asked her in a fake mocking tone. He was trying to irk Daisy with the words she disliked the


    most. He knew that Daisy would fall for his trick and turn back to argue with him.


    "Yes, you are right. I am indeed afraid," Daisy answered him in a light tone. Much to Edward''s surprise,


    she bluntly admitted it without any struggle, and it astonished him, suddenly not knowing what to say or


    do next. In Daisy''s mind, it was not a big deal to admit this to her husband from time to time, if this


    would make him shut up. She didn''t have to win the argument all the time. In fact, even if it appeared


    that she lost but she got what she wanted, then she was the one who would have won.


    "Umm..." Edward was at a loss for words all of a sudden. Never had he thought that Daisy would


    bluntly admit to him that yes, she was indeed afraid. It was not like her to admit fear and defeat without


    even putting up a good fight.


    Seeing his reaction, the corners of Daisy''s lips curled into a smug smile. She had made him tongue

    tied, not knowing what to say. She had stunned him! It was rare and this made Daisy very proud of


    herself. Well, it seemed that sometimes, one didn''t have to always struggle to get the upper hand and


    win. Sometimes, maybe just admitting defeat would turn out to be surprising results.


    But on the other hand, Edward wouldn''t be himself if he justpletely gave up that easily. He was


    stunned for a minute but he regained his thoughts and quickly grabbed Daisy right before she was


    about to walk out of the door. He gently pulled her towards him, and Daisy, who was not prepared for


    his sudden moves, fell into his tight arms with a startled look on her face. So she did not win after all.
