Her heartfelt confession did little to nudge Weston’s heart. Instead, he merely lifted his eyes impatiently
and swept a cold glance, asking in a savage tone, “Are you done talking?”
Nicole could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. Her head was drooping as she mumbled, “Yes…”
Her blanched face had now turned beet red. That brutal sense of humiliation intensified, making it
impossible for her to remain there for a second longer.
Finally, with a flushed face, she turned and ran away.
Daisy sighed in relief when Nicole was gone, scoffing at how childish Nicole was and how she completely
couldn’t control her emotions.
But perhaps that was for the best, as it would make it clear to Weston how different Daisy and Nicole
were. He would finally see that she was the one who was calmer and more mature, that she was the one
who could always keep her temper in check.
Unlike Nicole, Daisy was fully aware that she could never compete with Stella Sealey for Weston’s love.
After all, she couldn’t find a way to replace her in his heart, even when everyone believed that she was
dead, much less now, when she suddenly turned up not just alive and
kicking, but with two children in tow–children that might very well be Weston’s.
Daisy still had some doubts about these children, though. After all, Stella had a rare blood type that
made it impossible for her to get pregnant again. Based on this alone, Daisy felt that she might still hold
an advantage
over Stella. As it was now, her position by Weston’s side was very stable, even if she was only there as his secretary.
She never wished for anything more anyway.
She was not foolish like Nicole, who immediately threw a tantrum and attacked Stella out in the open as
if she was a child whose candy had been taken away from her.
No, Daisy would never harm Stella in any way because she knew that in order for her to remain in
Weston’s favor, she must treat Stella very nicely or even be on good terms with her. Daisy knew that only
by treating the person Weston loved as someone she loved would she have a
chance to remain in Weston’s orbit.
“I’m so sorry, Ms. Sealey. That was my cousin. She’s always had a bad temper since she was a child. I
apologize on her behalf if she has offended you. She really
shouldn’t have said…”
“Daisy?” Stella interrupted her, looking Daisy up and down before pointedly adding, “It’s been a while
since I last saw you.”
Stella recalled that this woman was Weston‘s secretary, who later became Xavier Ford‘s girlfriend. But
judging by how she was acting now, she somehow seemed a little... different.
She glanced at Xavier, who was not far away from them. He was sitting beside Henry Moore, and they
were both gazing in her direction, amused by what they saw. Stella turned to Daisy again and said, “So,
you...”
Daisy seemed to understand what Stella was thinking and smiled resignedly before explaining, “I broke
up with Xavier three years ago. We‘re just good friends now.” 1 “Really?” Stella smiled almost imperceptibly, looking as if she did not find the revelation surprising.
“That‘s just too bad.”
Daisy‘s face instantly froze. She knew that Stella probably did not mean anything more than what she
said, but it made her feel a little awkward!
She had a hunch that Stella had long seen through her feelings for Weston. Daisy clenched her fists and
suppressed her emotions before telling Stella with a smile, “It really is such a surprise to see you here,
Ms. Sealey. It‘s Mr. Ford‘s birthday today. He has been thinking about you these past three years. Why
haven‘t you contacted him, considering you‘ve been alive all along?”
Before Stella could open her mouth, Daisy let out a sigh and continued lamenting, “I don’t know what
you’ve been doing these past few years, but you should’ve at least let Mr. Ford know that you’re still
alive, right? He’s been missing you so terribly… why don’t we all sit down and have a chat?”
She then pressed on earnestly, “I’ll be completely frank with you, Ms. Sealey. Mr. Ford has suffered a lot
because of you these past three years. Since it is his birthday today, why don’t you spend some time with
him? I’m sure it would make him immensely happy…”
At that point, Stella suddenly paused and turned to look at Daisy with a smile.
