Chapter 529: Originally, did she hope Daisy Ginger would disappear?
In the overly humid and sweltering study, Emma Magus felt a slight chill sweep over her heart.
She instinctively looked at Robert Stephens.
Under the bright lights of the study, the warm smile at the man’s lips blurred at that moment, as if peeling away the perfect facade of gentleness on his face.
Emma Magus didn’t know why, but the innate fear she had of this man returned in those days, her throat dry, and she was a bit afraid that she might have said something wrong.
"Heh." After a moment of silence, the man finally laughed softly, breaking the stillness of the study. He lowered his lashes slightly, revealing a mild smile, his tone carrying a hint of elder exasperation toward the younger, "Edward... has indeed been a bit unruly lately."
He shook his head and said to Emma Magus, "About you being blacklisted by him, I’ll help you deal with it. Consider it a favor in return for you telling me this."
Hearing him say this, Emma Magus immediately felt at ease.
The man was warm and courteous, returning to the image of a respectful and amiable gentleman.
She stood up, grateful, "Thank you so much, Brother Stephens!"
Robert Stephens smiled lightly, his tone as gentle as ever, "No thanks necessary; it’s my brother who’s caused you trouble."
This man is almost too kind.
She couldn’t help but glance at him a few more times. The man looked at her, his gaze carrying a mild smile, like soft petals unfurling in the quiet night, making one want to draw closer.
"If you have time, you might as well stay and talk to me about the affairs between Daisy Ginger and Edward." Robert Stephens reached out, poured her a cup of tea, and pushed it slowly towards Emma Magus with his fair hand. The elegant aroma of tea diffused in the air, and the man’s voice was equally gentle, "Entangling with a married woman is indeed improper. Tell me about it, and I’ll find a time to have a word with Edward."
Emma Magus understood what Robert Stephens meant.
He wants to break up Daisy Ginger and Edward Stephens.
Originally, she thought the entanglement between Edward Stephens and Daisy Ginger was wrong.
That slut Daisy Ginger already has a husband, yet she’s still tangled with Edward Stephens, showing no woman’s modesty or self-respect, but because Edward Stephens protects her, offending Daisy Ginger would lead to being completely blacklisted by Edward Stephens, damaging one’s career.
But what did she do wrong?
She was not the one who pushed the person, she was terrified that day too. In search of George Stephens, she walked until blisters formed on her feet, her body marked by scratches from branches. Edward Stephens didn’t acknowledge her efforts at all, treating her so cruelly.
It’s all that vixen Daisy Ginger’s fault!
Thinking of that face even more beautiful than her own, a trace of jealousy crept into Emma Magus’ heart. With Robert Stephens speaking to her in such a gentle manner, the emotions she had hidden deep inside couldn’t be controlled for some reason.
It’s as if, in front of this man, whatever she says is permissible; all her thoughts are accepted.
"Brother Stephens," Emma Magus couldn’t help herself, speaking impulsively, "Do you have a way to make Daisy Ginger disappear? I really hate her."
The moment she said it, Emma Magus herself was stunned. She hadn’t expected to reveal the thoughts deep in her heart to Robert Stephens.
So, she actually wishes Daisy Ginger would disappear?
She felt a bit dazed.
That day, when she went back alone, deep down she also hoped Daisy Ginger would disappear from this world, so that no one would compete with her for the position of Mrs. Edward Stephens.
