It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 309 What Are You Thinking About (Part Two)

"Yes. But does it have anything to do with my question?" Edward asked with a deep frown. He was confused by Mark's response.

"Sorry, Mr. Mu. If the Colonel is with you, please ask her yourself. I fear that I'd be severely punished if I say something I shouldn't say." Mark was a simple and honest man, but that didn't mean he was stupid. Since Daisy didn't tell Edward herself, then it was improper if Edward found out from him.

"Oh, it seems something really happened. Could you tell me what it was about?" Edward didn't give up. He was cunning, he tried another way to get what he wanted.

"I don't know the details. But everyone in the military base is talking about it." Ah! Mark was definitely a person who couldn't go through an interrogation. He revealed everything so soon. He would be severely punished by his colonel for this. It seemed that Mark fell into traps easily.

"Oh? What were they talking about?" Edward asked casually. Edward thought that Mark and Daisy were really perfectly matched to work together, as they were both easily befuddled. No wonder they were always being used by others.

"They're saying that the reason why the disciplinary department summoned the Colonel for an investigation was because the luxurious car she drove recently is a bribe." If Mark lived during the war, he would absolutely be labeled a traitor. He was easily manipulated by Edward and doomed to suffer from his mistakes. The prospect of a 10-kilometer cross country run was looming over him. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

"What? Bribe? Bullshit! Why didn't they say that she stole them? They are all talking rubbish nonsense, idiots!" Edward immediately became furious at the news. Who would blatantly seek attention by driving a car gained from bribery? Would anyone be so stupid as to announce to the world that they had taken a bribe this way? Only idiots who bumped their heads into a door would do something so stupid. Daisy wasn't an idiot. That would be taking the bull by its horns, Edward thought.

"Er... Mr. Mu. I didn't say anything to you. Please don't let the Colonel know that you got this from me, otherwise I'll be doomed!" Mark really wanted to slap himself. He was finished, he had been tricked by Edward. Why did he have such a big mouth? He foolishly told Edward what happened to the Colonel. It seemed that he couldn't escape the Colonel's punishment. He only hoped that she would have mercy on him since he followed her for so many years. He hoped his punishment wouldn't be severe.

"Don't worry. At most, she'll make you do some physical exercises." Edward said lightly. Since he wasn't the one who would face Daisy's punishment, he gave a careless response.

Meanwhile in the FX International Group conference room, Leo had been in trance for nearly half an hour. He still couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't convince himself to believe the fact that Daisy was really his biological daughter. Remembering what he had done to Daisy in the past and his brief interaction with her earlier, he unconsciously clenched his fists in anger. How many things did Yakira hide from him? She dared fabricate so many things to separate him from his wife and daughter, while she brazenly enjoyed all the things that were rightfully theirs.

Leo closed his eyes as he tried to get himself together. His mind was full of questions. If Daisy was really his biological daughter, how could he make up for abandoning her for so many years? How could he win back her affections? She looked so indifferent to him earlier. It would be difficult to get her back. She probably hated him. She even seemed reluctant to look at Leo.

He cursed Yakira in his mind, wishing that the information before him was all fake. Otherwise, she really turned him into a jerk who abandoned his own daughter and deprived her of her father's love. There was no way to make up for this. If he found out that this was all true, he would not forgive her ever and she couldn't blame him for being ruthless and not treasuring their relationship as husband and wife. She dared to do so many ugly things behind his back and make him an oblivious villain who had driven his own daughter away.

Leo was really very pathetic. When he found he had made a mistake, his first thought wasn't to reflect on himself, but to put the blame on others. It never occurred to him that he was the decisive factor in Daisy's expulsion from the family. If he hadn't acquiesced, Yakira wouldn't have been so bold as to treat Daisy like dirt.

Luke glared at Leo the whole time. He didn't say anything. If Leo wasn't Mrs. Mu's biological father, he wouldn't have waited patiently for such a long time. His duty was to ensure Edward's safety, not to waste time with Leo.

"Mr. Ouyang, if you're done, I'll take it back. This document was borrowed, so we need to return it afterwards." It was true. The document with the information was borrowed by Jonathan from The Mayfly. It needed to be returned.

"Oh! I'm sorry. I'm finished." Leo came back to his senses and handed the document he'd been grasping to Luke. He stood up from the chair, looking distressed. He needed to go back to confirm all the information he had read. If it was all true, how could he get back Daisy?

Looking at Leo's retreating figure, Luke felt a trace of pity. He had taken another's daughter as his own and regarded her as the apple of his eye, while abandoning his actual daughter and trampling on her like she was garbage. What a pathetic man. He was suffering the consequences of his own actions. He didn't deserve anyone's sympathy.

Unlike Leo, Edward acted quickly. As soon as he heard what happened from Mark, he sent a number of instructions through his phone. He didn't intend to make things public, but to prove Daisy's innocence, he had to add something special to tomorrow's anniversary celebration. This was the only way he could do to get quick results.
