Chapter 479

The rage that was originally in Daisy’s eyes had faded, leaving only self-loathing and deep despair.

She had studied hard, was a diligent student overseas, and gave it her all in her part-time job. She had
never succumbed to her surrounding temptations and never bothered putting up a front, even before
someone as powerful as Chris.

She clearly knew that the only person she could rely on was herself.

All she wanted was to earn, progress in her career, and improve her position in life. She had never
wanted to distract herself with anything else.

Yet, why was she unable to escape her fate?

The man saw that she had turned numb, and it only drove him to raise his voice. He reached out to
grab her hair, growling, “I know you think you’re all successful now, surrounding yourself with
outstanding men. Just look at yourself. If they were to know of your past and what your parents did,
who would fancy a woman like you? I am the only one in this world who doesn’t despise you. Which
normal man wouldn’t mind his woman doing those things you’ve done?”

With that, his tone softened as he continued, “Even so, have I ever given up on you, all these years?
Daisy, I am the only one who treats you the best. You should know, in the depths of your heart.”

Daisy remained sprawled on the floor, her hair still in his hands. Inside, however, she refused to listen
to him.

She tried to recover from her shocked disorientation and looked at him through bloodshot

eyes.



“Have you genuinely loved me and treated me well?”



“Why, of course!” The man thumped his chest confidently without any hesitation. “Can’t you see how
I’ve been treating you over the years? I’m the only one who will love you and treat you right. The other
men merely take you as a plaything. For a woman like you with a tainted history, I’m the only man who
will never despise you! “If it weren’t because of love, would I have tolerated your past?” Daisy’s eyes
trembled as though seriously taking in what he said. A moment later, she asked, hesitant, “If you really
love me, why aren’t you willing to cut ties with all those women? If you really love me, why is your name
the only one on our house deed, despite us buying it together?’ Things had gotten ugly with him; she
wanted a break-up precisely because they never talked these things through. Yet, she did not expect
him to have such a huge reaction to what she said. He flung her hand away in frustration and yelled,
“How shameless can you get? I’ve been with

you for so many years as the only man who wouldn’t despise you, yet here you are being calculative
over a house. Why are you so greedy and materialistic?”

“Daisy, you’ve changed. You’re truly disappointing…”

“I haven’t changed!” Daisy disputed.

He appeared unwilling to hear her say any further. “Daisy, were you negatively influenced by other
people? You never used to say such things!” He dragged her up from the floor as if intending to strike
her.

Weston did not want to interfere.

However, Daisy used to be his secretary.



What more…

Just as Weston was about to turn to leave, he suddenly remembered Stella telling about the man who
helped her in her time of need and how fond she looked at that time. He stubbed out the cigarette in his
hand and threw it into the trash. Didn’t she fancy courageous heroes to the point she could remember
something so trivial even after so many years?

What a child. Weston sneered deep down and stepped forward without further hesitation. “Let her go.”
His cold voice resounded along the corridor. Daisy thought that she must be hearing things. The
moment she realized she was going to be hit, Weston Ford was all she could think of. The last thing
she would expect, however, was for him to appear right here. She wasn’t sure if it was the heavens
answering the unspoken prayers, but when she turned around, she saw the man she never expected to
appear… walking right toward her.
