Chapter 398 - 425 "Because We Want Edward to Give Up.
"...No." She just didn’t expect Robert Stephens to ask her to drug Edward Stephens.
Daisy Ginger’s brows furrowed as she looked at him and couldn’t help saying, "Isn’t there another way? Drugging him, it’s just too..."
"What are you afraid of?" The man’s icy tone cut her off, "Or, are you afraid he’ll hate you?"
Daisy’s heart twisted slightly, and in an instant, it was as if something had scratched a wound.
Her pupils contracted a little, and her face visibly turned unpleasant.
Robert Stephens’ eyes, as if they could see through people’s hearts, gazed at her coldly and darkly.
"You want a divorce and to walk away scot-free, do you think the world works that way?" he mocked, "Don’t you hate our family? Aren’t you afraid he’ll entangle with you? After tonight, he’ll never bother you again, Daisy, you should be happy."
"..."
He slowly, lazily leaned back on the sofa, watching Daisy’s silent expression, until she turned around quietly, opened the door, and left.
His eyes flashed with a cold smile as he said to Charlotte Smith, "Follow her tonight and make sure she gives the drug to Edward."
Charlotte lowered her head, her hand by her side clenched slightly, and she asked in a low voice, "Why let Miss Ginger do it?"
Robert answered indifferently, "Because we need Edward to give up."
This drug must be administered by Daisy for his plan to come full circle.
"..." Charlotte acknowledged, "Yes."

Daisy wandered aimlessly down the corridor.
The church was grand, and the frescoes were authentic works worth admiring.
She was like a headless chicken, with no intention of appreciation, feeling distressed, nearly bumping into someone.
The pill held in her palm seemed to sting her hand, making her emotions a bit agitated.
She strode forward mindlessly, avoiding the people in front of her.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her arm and yanked her backward, startling Daisy who gasped and looked up abruptly to see a man frowning at her with a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "What are you doing? Weren’t you going to do your makeup? What are you doing running around here?"
Daisy instinctively hid the transparent package she held behind her back, "I..."
"Have you already finished your makeup?"
"Yes." Daisy replied, facing the man’s close-up face, sweat trickling down her forehead.
"Why does it look like you haven’t done any makeup?" Edward Stephens’ eyes seemed confused.
"Light makeup," Daisy stammered as an excuse, looking at him, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I’m bored, thought I’d find you to hang out." He said with self-assurance, "I hadn’t found your dressing room yet when I saw you running around here, are you more excited about getting married than I am?"
When he’s happy, he sometimes acts a bit childish, even though he’s already an adult...
Daisy shoved the drug into her pocket and explained, "I’m just a bit nervous."
"Nervous?" The man looked down at her, smiled, and pinched her nose, "What are you nervous about? Don’t worry, I’ll drink for you tonight."
Watching his smile, Daisy didn’t know why, but she felt a little sad.
She thought she was ready for their separation, but the thought of possibly making him sad... she suddenly felt a bit soft-hearted.
This shouldn’t be happening.
