Chapter 398 A Beauty’s Tears Of Blood (Part One)
"Honey, are you speaking for Anna? Why don''t I know that you two have gotten close to each other?"
Edward held Daisy''s hand as they walked into the elevator. He pressed the button for the first floor.
"I''m not speaking for her. I only appreciate her attitude towards work." Daisy smiled gently. Few people
could arouse her interest and Anna was one of them.
"Oh! Since Colonel Ouyang thinks highly of her, it seems that she deserves to get a raise. Even if it isn''t
for her good work performance, I will do this for your highpliment," Edward said.
Actually, Anna''s sry was among the top in this trade, almost at the same level with Aaron''s. This
would never happen in otherpanies. Nheless, since his beloved wife proposed it, Edward
didn''t mind increasing her sry a little bit.
The night gave off a mysterious air with the dazzling lights, which was tempting especially in those
high-end luxurious ces where temptation existed in every corner.
Being one of the elites in S city, Edward was no stranger to the Royal Shore. He was often invited as a
distinguished guest to attend the high-end auctions organized here. After dinner, he took Daisy and
walked leisurely into the luxurious ce. The architecture and the event inside exuded mystery.
As soon as Edward entered, he was taken by a veteran staff member to a secluded VIP box due to his
noble status. The atmosphere in the private room matched Daisy''s preference for quietness.

"There''s a strong sense of ss consciousness here." As soon as the staff left, Daisy looked out the
carefully designed window of the private room. Compared to the noisy crowd outside, the box was
indeed a lot quieter. But they could still hear some sounds when people talked very loudly.
"This is how the social system works. There''s no ss hierarchy." Edward said with self-mockery. He
knew that Daisy would mock him for this. In Daisy''s eyes, he would always be a cunning businessman
who put money first, and he felt he could do nothing to change her views.
"Huh! You''re good at making excuses for yourself. Cunning businessmen are always so clever, their
sordid ways of doing business and vulgar manners can never be changed."
As Edward had expected, Daisy showed her disapproval. She seized the chance to jeer at him without
mercy.
"If I''m a cunning businessman, then as my wife, you certainly can''t keep your hands clean from my
business." Edward smiled slyly while ncing at the crowd of people outside.
"Don''t associate me with you. Our troop''s good image will be damaged." Daisy suddenly felt a resentful
re boring into her. She sneered when she saw Jessica. Why would Jessica show up here? Hadn''t
she given up on Edward yet?
"Without our vulgar businesses serving as a foil, how can you highlight your noble cause?" Edward
also noticed Jessica''s re. He narrowed his eyes, his expression turning cold and intimidating. Wasn''t
she supposed to be finding a way to solve the Lin Group''s crisis? How could she have the time to
attend an auction?
"I don''t want to discuss this matter with you. When will the auction begin?" The event was only a charity
auction by name. Who knew how many business deals would be made under the table during this
event? Daisy didn''t believe that these people really came here to do charity. They wouldn''t be stupid
enough to put outrge amounts of money for this. In the end, the money they imed to be for the
charity wouldn''t reach the people who were really in need. On the contrary, it would go to the pockets of
social climbers. She scorned these kinds of events. Compared to using the money to bid on some
useless items, it would be more efficient to give the money directly to the poor.
"It will start soon. Are you getting impatient?" Edward knew she didn''t like the boisterous scene. He
reduced his presence in such business events and usually asked Rain to go for him.
"No, I''m just bored." Daisy said, keeping her gaze focused on Jessica. If they weren''t enemies, she
would admire Jessica''s courage. If she were in Jessica''s shoes, she couldn''t go to such great lengths
and sacrifice her dignitypletely.
But they were standing on opposite sides. Not everyone had sympathy as Daisy did, Daisy was too
kind. Meanwhile, Jessica was ring at Edward and Daisy''s private room, her fists clenched in anger.
Although the interior of the private room wasn''t visible from the outside, Jessica knew they were there.
She had watched them enter with her own eyes.
She used to proudly enjoy the privilege of staying there with Edward. But this time, he was with another
woman. There was a big difference in how she was treated before and now. She had arrived early to
get a chance to be close to Edward, but she didn''t expect him to bring Daisy with him. When she saw
them enter the venue holding each others'' hands, she red at them with fury.
Why was this happening? Daisy hadn''t shown up in Edward''s life before, so why did she show up now?
Why did she suddenly change her mind and destroy all the things she had strived for?
Jessica closed her eyes in anguish. Even her heavy makeup failed to conceal her dejection. She was
exhausted from being busy all day finding a solution to get the Lin Group out of trouble. She thought
abouting here to take a chance on her luck, but she didn''t expect to be greeted by such a
heartbreaking scene.
"Edward, what do you think makes a woman so persistent to hold onto a man? Is it really just love?"
Daisy shifted her eyes away from Jessica and looked at Edward casually, suddenly feeling very sad.
"It''s difficult to say. Sometimes it''s closely rted to wealth and social status." Edward knew Daisy must
have seen Jessica, or she wouldn''t have asked this. But he didn''t think what Jessica felt about him was
actually love. In his eyes, she loved him because of glory and vanity.
"It''s starting." Daisy changed the topic. She didn''t want to bother herself with this and make things
awkward with Edward. Not only would she feel troubled, but she would also end up hurting other
people if she continued to cling to it. This was an unwise choice.
