It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 473 Mary's Invitation (Part One)

"Wait, what do you mean? There was an anonymous tip-off about me some days earlier. Do you have something to do with it? Or you wouldn't know The Investigation Department's real purpose talking to me."

Daisy shot a stern glare at Hank. If he didn't have anything to do with the tip-off, he wouldn't know its content because The Investigation Department would never disclose this kind of thing to others just off the cuff. And she didn't believe that the commander would be so

careless to tell him about it. So the only explanation would be that he had known it in advance.

"I have something to do with it? What are you talking about? There's a saying: there's no smoke without fire. Do you know it, Colonel Ouyang? The day has eyes, the night has ears. If you want to keep something a secret, the best way is having no secret. What? I was just guessing. Did I hit it?"

Gosh! Hank broke into a cold sweat secretly. He was annoyed with himself that he didn't remain calm while talking to her. She might have found him out! It looked like that this woman was not the kind who could be fooled easily. He must be careful dealing with her. Otherwise, his life would be destroyed!

"Oh, sure! Lieutenant Colonel, you're really lucky. You know the so-called truth with just a random guess. You're pretty clever! You seem to be much more brilliant than a fortune-teller. Do you know what I am curious about? I wonder what Jessica Lin has promised you so that you were willing to give up your career and side with her to set me up."

Guessing? Who couldn't do it? The point was whether you'd like to do it or not. She always remained suspicious about Jessica Lin. Now that Hank said he was just guessing, Daisy thought she could do the same too. She decided to make a bold guess that they colluded to set her up and that was why she had got the tip-off last time.

"What? Jessica Lin? I don't know her. Don't ever try to get words out of me. Or are you taking the opportunity to take revenge on me because I've seen through your secret?" Hank shifted his eyes to avoid eye contact with Daisy. He was somewhat guilty and dared not face her questioning. But Daisy was an acute observer. She knew there must be something between him and Jessica Lin judging from his reaction. The only thing she didn't know was what their game was.

"Revenge on you? You really have a persecution complex, Lieutenant Colonel. Didn't you make a guess just now? I am guessing too, just like what you did. Did I hit it? Did I guess it right about you and Jessica Lin?"

Daisy smiled coldly. No one could cash in on her as long as she didn't want to give up, no matter if it was physical combat or a war of words. She disliked to give tit for tat to other people. It was not because she was not eloquent. She just disdained to do it. "Well! Let's leave it to time to clear the matter up. Save your laughter for the end of the race." Hank gritted his teeth. He flew into a rage at Daisy's response. He went for wool and came back shorn. He had planned to tease her. But in a heavy reversal, he ended up being teased by her. He was not happy.

"If you want. I never fear threats or provocations," Daisy sneered. She watched Hank walk away quickly due to his annoyance. If he hadn't talked to her and tried to tease her deliberately, she wouldn't have linked him with the anonymous tip. Now that he reminded her of it, why didn't she investigate it, now that she had another clue to follow? 'Jessica Lin, it seems we're going to meet each other. I just wonder if you're ready?' Daisy thought.

A busy day full of work tired Daisy out. She hadn't slept well for the last few days because of Edward. So she was so weary that she fell asleep heavily soon after she sat in the Hummer. When the car was about to hit town, her phone rang. Her eyes snapped open. "Hello! This is Daisy Ouyang. Who's speaking, please?" It was an unfamiliar number. Daisy frowned. Yet she felt rather cozy after she had taken a rest. She hoped the person on the other end wasn't looking for trouble. She had been busy all day and didn't want to deal with other people.

"Daisy Ouyang. I want to see you! I have a question for you," Mary Ouyang yelled in anger. Her mother and Leo went home, and they were not happy. They even hadn't stopped arguing at home. After some probing, she found out the reason for the argument: it was Daisy Ouyang. She was furious. So she called Daisy and demanded to see her. She had already had a plan to stop her arrogance. Or she would always have this rage in her heart, making her angry.

"What's the matter? You can talk about it over the phone! I'm busy." Daisy raised her hand and took a look at her watch. She didn't plan to say yes. Edward was still in the hospital and she wanted to stay with him. Why would she waste her time to see someone who she disliked? She'd much rather spend time with her husband. To her, that was time well spent.

"What? You can do whatever you want as a colonel? Don't give me flack! Soldiers like to claim that they are here for the people, for the common men. That they exist to protect the rights of everyone. But here you are, refusing to see me, a civilian. I want to see you. What a simple request. Can't you even do it? Now I really doubt what kind of promises you, and the army, can keep."

Just then Mary stopped her tirade. She was defeated by Daisy's elegance and beauty that day on the cocktail party for FX International Group. She was upset, but more by her own self. So she was desperate to overshadow Daisy. She wanted to prove that she was the real princess.

"You're talking nonsense. You should know, the army doesn't exist for you. And I don't have to satisfy you because you are making trouble out of nothing. But now that you bring up that common man crap, and insist you are a civilian that needs my help, I'll come see you. I won't let you bring a false charge against me. You insist on seeing me, right? Well, let's decide on a place."
