Chapter 32 - 32: Johanes Miles follows the trail
Daisy Zane was the type that, if things didn’t go her way or if she was provoked, she wouldn’t budge once she made up her mind.
However, she was very receptive to Kevin Clark showing her his submissive side.
Perhaps it was because Kevin’s usual aura was too strong, or maybe it was because he met all of her aesthetic preferences. When he showed his vulnerability, she would lower her boundaries.
Daisy stared at him for a while, then lowered her eyes and continued eating.
Kevin smiled and helped her with the food.
James Collins blinked, unable to understand why his sister let it go so easily. Wasn’t she supposed to stand up and punch him to the ground? Why did she just start eating?
He didn’t understand, not at all.
After a while, Kevin went to wash his hands and came back to help Daisy with peeling the shrimp: “Be careful after you join the drama crew, and don’t be overly aggressive. In the future, when it gets cold, wear warm clothes and don’t drink cold water. I’ve prepared some medicine for you, with clear instructions on how to use it. Take it with you this afternoon.”
“Mm.” Daisy tasted a shrimp, and it was tasty, so she ate another. Then she gave a few unpeeled ones to James.
“I’ll ask Michael Jackson to come with you this afternoon, and I’ll visit you on set in a few days.”
Daisy placed two peeled ones in Kevin’s bowl.
Kevin smiled and continued, “Don’t let anyone bully you. If someone has bad intentions or an ill heart, beat them up. If anything happens, I’ll handle it. If there’s someone you can’t beat, tell me and I’ll beat them up for you.”
Daisy glanced at his thin wrist and slender fingers, thinking that she might actually be more capable than him.
Watching the two interact, James noticed something off about his sister and felt somewhat redundant in retrospect.
After finishing the meal, Daisy packed a few more things and waited for Hill Dawson to join her in heading to the drama crew.
Kevin directly handed her a small suitcase full of medicine for internal and external use, as well as items for dealing with injuries, headaches, colds, and even some health-promoting and warming items.
“Actually… it’s not that cold right now.” Daisy thought Kevin either had health issues or misunderstood the weather, so she kindly reminded him.
“Use them when needed.” Kevin smiled and didn’t say much else.
Daisy felt like there might be another meaning to his words, but before she could think about it, her cell phone rang.
Seeing the call was from Hill, she answered, “Are you here?”
“Not yet, Daisy. We just left Maple Elite Entertainment, and at some point, a car started following us. I just checked the license plate number, and it seems to be from the Miles Family. I’ve seen it once before at the company’s entrance, but I’m not too sure.”
Maple Elite Entertainment provided a nanny car, and Hill went to the company to get the car first.
Daisy pinched her fingers, asking, “Where are you now?”
Hearing her tone grow colder, both Kevin and James looked at her.
“We’re on Sunrise Road,” Hill said, “I asked the driver to take a detour and try to shake them off.’
“No need, let them follow.”
“Daisy, they might be ill-intentioned. And your address will be exposed.”
Although Daisy’s resume indeed listed her residential address, it wasn’t Everlasting Palace but an old residential estate instead. “It’s okay. Sooner or later, we’ll meet, and they’ll find out.” “Alright, I’ll text you when we arrive.”
After hanging up the phone, Kevin asked, “What’s going on?”
James was about to speak, but Kevin cut in, so he closed his mouth again.
“It’s nothing, just someone from the Miles Family coming over.” Daisy didn’t take it to heart and turned to her bedroom to fetch her suitcase.
Calculating that Hill Dawson should be arriving soon, they took their suitcases downstairs.
They took the suitcases directly to the parking lot, put them in the car and then drove to the entrance of the residential estate.
The building they lived in was quite far from the entrance. They had originally planned to have the nanny car come in, but Kevin Clark said that he had to go out soon and could just drive out, so he thought it was convenient.
At the entrance, Kevin Clark, Michael Jackson, and James Collins, three men, one more handsome than the other, trailed Daisy Zane.
In the past few months, quite a few people had moved into Everlasting Palace. Most of them were older, and elderly men and women constantly looked towards their direction from outside the estate.
Even an old lady came over to introduce a girlfriend to Kevin Clark.
Kevin was very polite and bent over when talking to the old lady. No one knew what he had said to her.
The old lady left with a kind smile, looking at Daisy Zane several times.
In the end, Daisy got a bit annoyed from being stared at, so she put on a mask and also handed one to Kevin Clark: “Put it on.”
In this tone that didn’t allow for rejection, Kevin Clark smiled and said,
“Alright.’
Both of them had put on their masks, and James Collins also leaned in and asked, “Sister, why didn’t you give me one?”
“Let the uncles, aunts, grandpas, and grandmas have a good look at you and introduce girlfriends to you too. You’re not that young anymore and should be getting married.” Daisy Zane only showed her phoenix eyes, giving off an even more aloof feeling.
“Sister! I’m only twenty!”
“Hmm. You’ll be eligible to get a certificate in two years – just perfect.” Daisy Zane said.
“I don’t want to.” James Collins muttered softly, then turned his face away from everyone.
After a few more minutes, the nanny car came over.
As soon as the car stopped, Hill Dawson came over, greeted Kevin Clark first, then greeted Michael Jackson, saw another boy, nodded to him, and pulled Daisy Zane to chat.
“That car followed us.’
Daisy Zane took a glance at the nanny car behind them: “James Collins, move the luggage to the car.”
“Okay.”
James Collins and Michael Jackson moved the luggage, while Daisy went straight to the back.
As soon as she walked over there, Johanes Miles got out of the car. He was wearing a perfectly fitting suit, a watch worth millions on his wrist, even each hair exuding elegance.
Looking at him like this, Daisy felt like throwing him into Cold Green Village, letting him experience working outside in the heavy rain and have a taste of not having enough to eat.
“I really underestimated you, managing to live in a place like this.” Johanes Miles said condescendingly and sarcastically.
“And I overestimated you, to the point you stoop so low as stalking.” Daisy Zane said, hands in pockets, “What, is the Miles family stable now? Got time to come and deal with me?”
“Daisy Zane, is this how your grandmother taught you? Have you no respect for your elders?”
“Are you considered elder or worthy? What about you is worth my respect? Is it the infidelity during your marriage? Or abandoning your wife and daughter?” Daisy said softly.
“You! What do you mean?” Johanes Miles’ face showed a sudden panic, but then immediately regained composure. That matter had already been cleaned up, everything that needed to be destroyed was destroyed, and all the connections needed were established.
There’s no proof. No one would believe it.
“I have a meeting later, I don’t want to waste time talking to you.” His driver handed Johanes Miles a file bag, and he stretched his hand out to take it. “Here are two sets of property, both in Imperial Capital, in good locations. There are also two land parcels, one in Imperial Capital and one in Truro City. Additionally, there’s a card with 5 million in it. As I said before, I will be depositing money in it every month. These things are enough for you to spend in a lifetime, even if you don’t do anything every day.”
Johanes Miles: “All these are yours. I only have one request. Leave Maple Elite
Entertainment and stay away from the entertainment and performance circles. ”
Daisy Zane looked at the file bag in his hand and didn’t show any intention of taking it, her hands still in her pockets.
Seeing this, Johanes Miles said, “Daisy Zane, think carefully about your own identity.. An illegitimate daughter is flaunting herself around – are you inviting people to laugh at you?”
