Chapter 462: Daisy Ginger, you dead woman!
Daisy Ginger embraced him, kissing his Adam’s apple.
The person in her arms was the deepest, most hidden desire of her heart.
She dared not love him, nor even think of him, but feelings are uncontrollable.
Reason told her that every decision she made was correct, but her emotional heart could not be as cold and ruthless as reason.
"Edward Stephens..." She lowered her gaze to his face, murmuring his name softly.
The man’s resistance suddenly halted, and Daisy seized the opportunity to forcefully press him into the bed, tearing apart the loose robe on his body.
The man was momentarily astonished, seemingly frightened by her bold actions. Daisy, following her own thoughts, stroked his face, squinting with a slight smile, whispered: "Baby, be good... hmm?"

The next day.
When Edward Stephens awoke from his sleep, there was only him left on the bed.
The floor was spotless, and all the evidence of the woman’s presence from the night before had vanished without a trace.
Not even a single long hair was left on the bed.
Edward, bare-chested, leaned against the headboard, lighting a cigarette in silence, smoking quietly for a while.
The dressing mirror across revealed his disheveled appearance.
There were even teeth marks on his strong waist left by the woman.
And the culprit of all the evidence had awakened at some point and disappeared without a trace.
He smoked a cigarette silently and then lit another.
Last night, he was coaxed to sleep by her, and then she left without responsibility.
Thinking of everything from last night, the man’s expression grew increasingly dark.
He extinguished the cigarette butt, threw it out with force, gritting his teeth and cursing under his breath, "Daisy Ginger, you damn woman!"

At this moment, Daisy Ginger was trembling, hiding in her apartment.
The effects of the alcohol had naturally worn off, and she was soberly aware of the evidence of her crimes, desperately wishing she could travel back to the previous night and knock herself out.
Warrior’s courage brewed by alcohol, she remembered clearly what she did last night; how she straddled the man’s waist, how she boldly tore off Edward Stephens’s clothes, and even how she teased him...
She had done everything she wanted, but wasn’t supposed to do, in one breath last night.
The desire suppressed for four years surged like a flood once the gate was opened, uncontrollable, just like a dream where, fueled by drunkenness, she completely took advantage of Edward Stephens.
After all, he shouldn’t have, absolutely shouldn’t have, appeared in front of her when she was drunk and upset.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have acted so impulsively.
At the break of dawn, she woke up still holding Edward Stephens, and seeing the man in front of her, all the memories instantly returned.
At that moment, she really wanted to pass out again.
Sneaking out of bed, quietly dressing herself, she returned to her apartment before daylight, endlessly regretting the sins she committed the night before.
She repented until noon when hunger struck.
Elena Raven called, asking where she was and if she wanted to come out for a meal.
Daisy gave her address and waited for Elena to come over with food.
Elena packed up Daisy’s favorite seafood, took a cab to her place, and felt relieved seeing Daisy’s rosy complexion.
"Jiu Jiu, where did you run off to last night? I couldn’t reach you on the phone, I was worried sick." She stepped in, changing into slippers, complaining as she walked, "Do you know how scared I was? You can’t do that anymore..."
Watching Daisy unwrap the plastic package, her head naturally lowered, revealing the red marks on her snow-white neck from the collar. Elena suddenly froze, eyes wide with surprise.
Daisy ate a bite of fish before belatedly realizing to cover her neck. Facing Elena’s innocent gaze, Daisy inexplicably felt a bit guilty.
Standing in front of this pure person, she felt like a real contamination!
"Just adult stuff, don’t overthink it, kid." Just a one-night stand, she’s been an adult for a long time, the only issue is the man she slept with was not quite right.
After all, it’s Daisy’s private life, so Elena didn’t press further, having lunch with Daisy before cautiously asking, "Jiu Jiu, you about yesterday..."
Emma Magus falling into water must be related to Daisy. Now the film crew had to halt due to Emma’s hospitalization, and the news stirred up quite a bit, unsure how to handle it.
Daisy looked at the injury on Elena’s forehead, "What did the doctor say? Will it leave a scar?"
Elena pursed her lips, softly saying, "The wound is deep, and the doctor isn’t sure if it’ll scar."
Thinking back to how Elena was brought back with a bloodied face by her assistant yesterday, Daisy’s own expression darkened.
She realized she might have acted impulsively, but seeing her people bullied and implicated because of her, she couldn’t suppress her temper, she really couldn’t.
Even if she owed Edward Stephens something, it wasn’t for his friends to intervene on her behalf, moreover, she hadn’t done anything to Edward...
Elena being an actress, if disfigured with scars, could face a devastating blow to her career. Even if Emma Magus didn’t do it intentionally, she had already done it, to be so cruel to a girl, how could she be any good? As an artist herself, how could she not understand the importance of scars to an actor.
All in all, Daisy didn’t really regret it.
Moreover, from the surveillance footage, Emma had no evidence against her, and Daisy had someone record the video of Elena being slapped that night by Emma. If Emma dared to hire a PR team to blacken her, Daisy could release the video of her bullying small transparency, then who the public would side with wasn’t certain.
What does it matter if she’s an award-winning actress? The peanut gallery doesn’t care if you’re an award-winning actor or actress, if there’s a story it’ll take you down even if you’re at the top.
"You don’t worry about it anymore." Daisy set down her chopsticks, musing aloud, "If she gives you trouble in the crew again, just tell me."
The most pressing issue now was the unintentional incident with Edward Stephens, if he caused problems for her, what should she do?
*
Contrary to Elena’s expectations, the incident of Emma Magus falling into water didn’t blow up.
On the third day after the event, Emma posted a picture on Weibo, stating she was fine, no need for fans to worry, and the crew also announced they’d resume filming the next week.
What seemed to be a huge disaster quieted down without a ripple.
Instead, Daisy seemed strange these past few days, for some reason, she’d be all geared up with sunglasses and a cap when going out, sneakily, as if she’d done something guilty.
