Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Enemies Encounter on the Narrow Road (8)

In any case, Mrs. Duncan said that Daisy Willow was simply stupid and would never covet the Duncan family’s property, so since that’s the case, why would she target such a foolish woman like Daisy Willow.

However, she didn’t quite agree with some of Mrs. Duncan’s actions, and she felt that a quick divorce was the solution.

Now the key issue was that Cole Duncan didn’t want to divorce at all.

She needed to think carefully about how to get Cole Duncan to agree to the divorce, which was the focal point.

"Let’s go, let’s continue drinking coffee." Duncan’s mother pulled Jane Auclair’s hand.

"Auntie, I think we’d better forget it since we’ve made such a scene. You were just in such pain, and now, you’re all excited to drink coffee again. What are other people going to think? Let’s go home, and I’ll make you a pot of coffee." Jane Auclair persuaded Mrs. Duncan.

"Hmm, you’re right. It would’ve been great if there were reporters around just now so that they could’ve spread this news before the court session and let everyone know about Daisy Willow and her affair. Our chances of winning would’ve been even greater." Mrs. Duncan said regretfully.

"..." Jane Auclair was somewhat speechless. She didn’t know if Mrs. Duncan was really stupid or just pretending to be. That man was obviously a lawyer whom Daisy Willow had hired to represent her, and such a relationship would naturally shatter the affair’s rumors, but Mrs. Duncan still didn’t realize this.

The two left the café, the gathering crowd dispersed, and the waiter summoned the manager, but the farce was already over.

Daisy Willow was taken out of the hotel by Simon Carrington, who was also furious. He had never been so humiliated in public. He didn’t need to be a married woman’s lover.

This Mrs. Duncan was really blind.

"Sorry, Mr. Carrington, for getting you involved because of me." Daisy Willow apologized with her head down. The humiliation from Mrs. Duncan had long become part of her routine, but Simon Carrington was innocent and had been falsely accused by Mrs. Duncan, which broke Daisy Willow’s heart.

"It’s not your fault. You always blame yourself for everything, no wonder people take advantage of you like this." Simon Carrington scolded, somewhat frustrated.

"I’ll add a clause to the lawsuit later, and you’ll sign again tomorrow." Simon Carrington had already made up his mind. For an arrogant and ignorant woman like Mrs. Duncan, he had to make her pay a price, or she would continue believing she was right.

"... What will you add?" Daisy Willow didn’t understand.

"You’ll find out tomorrow. I’ll call you a cab now. Go back and be careful on the road." Simon Carrington said, waving for a taxi and helping Daisy Willow get in.

Daisy Willow still looked confused, but she knew that Simon Carrington was really angry. Mrs. Duncan had undoubtedly infuriated him with her behavior earlier.

After thinking about it, Daisy Willow decided not to stop him. She too had had enough of Mrs. Duncan’s self-righteous attitude, as if they were the ones being wronged, and she was the one bullying them.

What Daisy Willow never expected happened. The incident yesterday was actually caught by reporters who took photos and put them on television.

Mr. Willow always got up early, and on Monday morning, as Celia Wade also got up early, the two were eating breakfast and watching the news. They saw themselves on TV being pulled by Simon Carrington, and the narrator claimed that she was an ungrateful woman. Her husband was bedridden, paralyzed from the waist down, and she was out finding men and planning for a divorce.

Mr. Willow’s face immediately darkened, "Daisy, come here."

His voice was low, scaring even Celia. Daisy Willow was still in the kitchen frying an egg. Today, she had to go to the Hawkins family’s office and sign again with Simon, so she had to leave early.

Daisy Willow came running out, heard the content of the news, and her face turned pale. In any case, she had to keep her father from getting upset first. "Dad, the news is nonsense. I’ll explain it to you later."

"What’s there to explain? It’s already on the news. Didn’t you say you were meeting a lawyer? How did it turn into this?" Mr. Willow was a reasonable person and gave Daisy Willow the chance to explain.

His own daughter was being talked about like this; it didn’t feel good to him as a father. Especially since yesterday, she clearly said she was going to see a lawyer, he feared his daughter was deceiving him.

"Uncle, don’t be angry. I haven’t known Daisy for long, but I trust her. On the other hand, I think it must be Cole Duncan and his mother who fabricated this whole thing. Besides, Simon Carrington is a well-known lawyer from Kyoto."

Celia Wade came over and spoke up for Daisy Willow, also telling Mr. Willow that neither Daisy Willow nor Simon Carrington were the kind of people who would do such things.

"That’s right, this is our daughter. If you don’t believe her, you might as well take Celia’s word for it." Mrs. Willow also came over and directly turned off the TV. "Stop watching that damn news. As for Mrs. Duncan, I want to meet her. She’s bullying my daughter like this, and she has to get our permission first."

"Mom, don’t make a scene. The trial is about to start soon. Once the divorce is finalized, everything will be fine." Daisy Willow didn’t want to cause a big scene at this time.

Mr. Willow sighed. The old woman and the girl were defending Daisy, let alone himself, who was her father. He knew what kind of person Daisy was; it was truly unfortunate that his daughter got involved with such a mother-in-law.

After eating, Daisy Willow went with Celia Wade, leaving little Elena Duncan at home with her parents.

Simon Carrington, not knowing where he got the car, was waiting for them at the gate of the residential area. They drove Celia Wade to her company together and then headed to Hawkins Family.

Xavier Estrada greeted them at the door himself. He thought it would be just Daisy Willow but didn’t expect Simon Carrington to come too. Bryan Hawkins had arranged everything early, so he directly took Daisy Willow to the Human Resources Department to report and signed a three-year contract.

As for her first month’s salary, Bryan Hawkins instructed the finance department not to deposit it into Daisy Willow’s account. Daisy Willow felt guilty and didn’t want it. After all, she wasn’t really working here, so how could she take the money?

"Mr. Hawkins said it was your proof of income, which is important for your upcoming court sessions. Besides, our company pays salary at the beginning of the month." Xavier Estrada explained.

After thinking about it, Daisy Willow quickly thanked him, "Is Mr. Hawkins in the company? I’d like to thank him personally."

She knew that Bryan Hawkins was helping her for Carolline Ruiz’s sake, and she still wanted to say thank you, even though it wasn’t the only reason.

"Uh, the thing is, Mrs. Hawkins is off work today, so Mr. Hawkins probably won’t be here until noon. He made sure to tell you that you can go ahead and handle your business, and everything can wait until you win the lawsuit." Xavier Estrada felt somewhat embarrassed. This was a classic example of not being able to get up early after a romantic night. From now on, the king would not have an early court session.

Simon Carrington and Daisy Willow: "..."

What a loving couple they are.
