Chapter 985 - 984: Ariel Morris in Critical Condition! [1]
Daisy Grant went to the bathroom to take a shower, and Dawn Sutherland’s eyes deepened.Why does he feel so familiar with Daisy’s body, even though he’d only had one encounter with her? The events of that opening party night lingered vaguely in his mind...
Was Evalian Chapman the woman he was with that night? Why does it not entirely fit?
As Dawn furrowed his brows in deep thought, Daisy emerged in pajamas, her steps were slightly strained and her gait wasn’t as natural as usual.
Daisy remembered everything that had occurred just moments ago when she came out.
Her second brother stripped off her clothes... the two of them fell onto the big bed... her second brother was on top of her...
Daisy’s face turned red with embarrassment as she dared not look at the man on the bed. She quickly muttered, "Second Brother, I’m going downstairs to eat."
As soon as she finished speaking, she closed the door, swiftly slipping out of the room, disappearing from Dawn’s sight.
Dawn couldn’t help but smile gently.
It was rare to see Daisy so shy. Even after doing the most intimate act between a husband and wife, she was now shy, which he found endearing and amusing.
Dawn’s eyes deepened, recalling the incidents with C.Y. today, a sharp glint in his eyes.
The identical bid submissions from C.Y. and the Grant Clan for the Waltham project were clearly not coincidental. Someone wanted to stir trouble between C.Y. and the Grant Clan, or even between him and Daisy?
The most likely culprits for all this were either the narrow-minded Aidan Sutherland or Asher Sutherland, who desired to devour the Grant Clan business!
If it was Aidan, he possibly wanted to see him and Daisy turn against each other, but if it was Asher...
Dawn squinted slightly, his fingers grazing the watch on his left wrist, with a cold edge.
Asher intended to use C.Y.’s hand, and his own hand, to deal with either the Grant Clan or its heir, Daisy Grant!
"Asher, Aidan, whoever’s plotting against Daisy, forget it!!"
——
More than a month flew by. Both Dawn and Daisy were living happily, their hearts drawing closer, truly becoming a couple and treating each other as family.
Completely devoted, sweet, and loving.
Meanwhile, Mother Grant, Sophie Brown’s health was declining. She always looked at Daisy’s protruding belly and murmured, "I wonder if I’ll get to see this child born."
The Grant Clan was in turmoil, with Romeo Grant deceased, the board of directors restless and eager for control.
Daisy held the most shares in the Grant Clan, being Romeo’s only daughter, she should logically take the position of the head of the Grant Clan. However, the board, citing her unfamiliarity with the company’s operations and her youth, voted half against her.
Unable to find a suitable candidate, and with an equal split in the voting, Daisy became the temporary head of the Grant Clan.
Daisy knew she had to secure control of the Grant Clan before the child was born, or those against her would surely act while she was in postpartum confinement.
Though pregnant, Daisy stayed up late every night to familiarize herself with the company’s operations and rapidly advance, coupled with worries about Mother Grant’s health, she barely gained any weight during the pregnancy.
The most noticeable change was her increasingly gaunt face, with no changes apart from the bulging belly.
Dawn watched it all, his heart aching. Since Daisy was handling many top-secret projects for the Grant Clan, Dawn, being the head of C.Y., couldn’t easily intervene and assist in the Grant Clan’s affairs without causing unnecessary trouble.
As everyone was busy, the end of the year approached.
While everyone was preparing joyously to welcome the New Year, Arlo Seys held Ariel Morris in his arms as they stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the snow.
