Chapter 546: Truth
The man at the door called her several times, but Daisy Ginger didn’t hear it until Edward Stephens burst in directly.
Seeing her curled up under the shower crying, Edward Stephens’ heart was about to explode. He came in, turned off the water, scooped up the soaking wet Daisy Ginger from the ground, and held her tightly in his arms, carrying her out.
"It’s okay, it’s okay now, I’m here, no one will bully you again."
He kissed her wet cheek. Her skin was soft and damp, constantly rolling down with warm water droplets. Edward Stephens didn’t know if it was hot water or her tears.
His heart spasmed with pain, seeing her tears of suffering, he wished he could pull her into his body, unable to bear seeing her like this.
Daisy Ginger gradually calmed down under his gentle reassurance. She lifted her wet eyes, looked at Edward Stephens, her eyes welling with tears, and rolled down from the corners of her eyes when she saw the pain in the man’s eyes.
She wrapped her arms around the man’s neck, buried her face into his chest, sniffed: "...I’m okay. Just a bit scared afterwards."
"..." The man said nothing, only held her more tightly and silently in his arms.

That night, Daisy Ginger had several nightmares and did not sleep well.
Because of her movements, Edward Stephens also did not sleep all night.
The police called, notifying her about the progress of the investigation, and Edward Stephens answered it for her.
Although the surveillance camera at the parking lot recorded the entire scene of her being dragged to a corner yesterday afternoon, those men were all wearing hoods, and no hair was found at the scene. The interrogation taken from Daisy Ginger’s skin also found no match in the fingerprint database, so it would take some time to find those five men from yesterday.
Edward Stephens expressed his understanding and thanked them.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Daisy Ginger, who was still frowning in pain while sleeping in bed, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
No man can sit idly by when their beloved woman is subjected to such violence.
Even if the police cannot find them, he will bring those five men to justice himself.

The news of Daisy Ginger’s incident yesterday afternoon was not widely disseminated by the police, after all, in such matters, the privacy of the victim should come first.
Daisy Ginger was in poor spirits and took two days off from the company to recuperate at home.
Edward Stephens stayed with her, his presence made her days less difficult to bear, but the emotional scars weren’t so easy to heal.
Having had an accident in the company parking lot made her uneasy about a familiar place.
The surveillance cameras did not capture how those five men got in, but the Royal Entertainment parking lot entrance and exit require an internal employee access card swipe to open the door. It’s highly likely that someone internal, or someone who bribed a Royal Entertainment employee, let those five men in.
She couldn’t say she had no conflicts with anyone in the company, after all, there’s competition among agents, but to escalate to hiring someone to assault her seems unlikely.
But if it wasn’t someone internal, who else could know she would leave early that afternoon and prearrange an attack on her in the parking lot?
She couldn’t figure it out and could only rely on the police investigation.
However, what Daisy Ginger did not expect was that a week later, not only did she not get any truth, but instead received the news of the death of a female star from Royal Entertainment.
