"...Tsk." Jas Shelton humd lightly while driving, "Kids being too opportunistic isn’t good."
"..."
"If he were your dad, could he accompany you every day for sketching? Who takes you out early every morning for field trips and tirelessly picks you up again?" Jas earnestly advised Erin Ginger about her values, "Even dogs don’t hate a poor family, and yet you treat your father like this?"
Erin pouted, "But I want to live with her."
It was all Jas Shelton’s fault for being useless, making him and Daisy Ginger separate. Erin’s little mind was filled with disdain for Jas.
Jas sighed deeply, "Who doesn’t want to live with her..." There’s just no way.

Daisy Ginger sat on the sofa smoking a cigarette, then stood up and flicked the ashes off her clothes.
For so reason, tonight felt particularly lonely.
She walked to the dressing table, opened the jewelry box, and took out the platinum diamond ring.
This was sothing she exchanged a multimillion-dollar villa for with Edward Stephens, but after the exchange, she couldn’t bring herself to look at it.
The ring was well-preserved, without a scratch, sparkling under the light.
She gazed at it for a while, then silently put it back in the drawer, locking it in the innermost compartnt.
As if burying her feelings of perplexity.

The Shelton Group’s joint developnt with the governnt of the Tsing City underwater tunnel is about to comnce construction, including a two billion US dollar investnt from the Stephens Consortium to the Shelton Group.
Daisy hadn’t paid much attention to financial news for a long ti, after all, she had shifted to the entertainnt industry in recent years, and her office was filled with entertainnt magazines.
Yet even so, Edward Stephens’s photos appeared in those entertainnt magazines.
The man was just too handso, and even attending a governnt-organized ribbon-cutting ceremony got him photographed and featured in entertainnt magazines, including a dedicated page for his interview.
It was through these entertainnt magazines that Daisy found out the reason for Edward Stephens’s visit to Tsing City.
He ca to Tsing City simply for investnt.
Not to catch her.
So it seed that the Helen Hyde incident was indeed her own doing that angered Edward Stephens, and it wasn’t specifically targeted at her, having nothing to do with her at all.
Knowing the truth, Daisy felt much more at ease, no longer getting anxious whenever she heard Edward Stephens’s na.
After all, to Edward Stephens, she was a thing of the past. It’s impossible for Edward to have been without won in these four years.
His initial persistence with her was probably out of unwillingness, and secondly, it could only an he lacked experience...
As Elena Raven joined Director Carter’s film crew, Daisy also gradually beca busier and forgot about Edward’s matters.
As a manager, she naturally had to join the crew. It was her first ti in such a professional film crew, working tirelessly in the mountain area all week, collapsing with Elena as soon as the filming stopped. Sotis at midnight, she still had to get up and help Elena with her makeup. It was tough for her, but even tougher for Elena. However, if they couldn’t endure this bit of hardship, they wouldn’t last long in this industry.
At midnight, Daisy and Elena were heading back to their dorm, planning to take a shower and sleep when Jas Shelton suddenly called frantically, saying Erin was missing.
At half-past midnight, with the mountain temperature at one degree below zero, Daisy, in her thick down jacket, broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing Jas’s words.
She imdiately packed her things to return to the city but was stopped by Elena. This place was desolate, with rugged roads. Even professional off-road drivers wouldn’t dare drive at night - how could she let Daisy go out?
