In that mont of her daze, Aidan Sutherland’s slap ca down, and she instinctively shielded Dawn Sutherland, her body stiffening in place—
And that slap landed harshly on her face...
"Daisy," Ariel Morris called out, biting her lip.
The force of Aidan Sutherland’s anger was so strong that everyone present heard the loud slap!
Employees outside cast curious gossiping looks at Dawn Sutherland’s office. So employees were brought over from the Sutherland Clan and naturally recognized Aidan Sutherland, the heir of the Sutherland Clan. With her here, everyone’s minds were undoubtedly speculating about everything that had happened in this office.
Daisy Grant bit her lip, looking at Aidan Sutherland in front of her, speaking in a calm tone: "Has your anger subsided a bit? Is that slap enough? If it is, let’s go outside and talk!"
After Daisy Grant finished speaking, she didn’t look at anyone in the office, and walked straight out, her back indifferent.
Dawn Sutherland’s gaze followed Daisy Grant’s departure into the distance, that figure, stubborn and frail, made his heart ache!
Aidan Sutherland—Dawn Sutherland’s eyes shot fiercely towards Aidan Sutherland, with a chilly edge at the corner.
That slap seed to hit the tip of his heart! So loud, did Aidan even consider how much pain Daisy must be in?!
Aidan Sutherland’s gaze also swept fiercely at Dawn Sutherland and turned to pursue Daisy Grant outside.
"Damn, is Aidan Sutherland even a man! Hitting a woman like that! That slap was seriously hard! If I were Beauty Grant, I would’ve called off the engagent ages ago!" Nico Haynes scoffed behind Aidan Sutherland’s retreating figure.
Ariel Morris pressed her lips, "Aidan Sutherland’s anger hasn’t dissipated. Daisy going out to talk with him, what if—Aidan’s strike was really too brutal! Daisy’s entire body shivered a bit, making feel heartbroken!"
Aidan is still in a fit of temper, could he really take it out on Daisy again? Dawn Sutherland’s pupils constricted, and he imdiately went to walk out.
Evalian Chapman pulled Dawn Sutherland’s arm, "Don’t go! That’s between the two of them; if you go, it will only make it worse! Aidan already suspects you have sothing with Daisy, and if you head over, his anger will only go deeper!"
Dawn Sutherland’s brows relaxed briefly, mories of Daisy shielding him flashed in his mind, along with that crisp slap resounding in his ears. Dawn Sutherland’s fingertips moved slightly, and when he raised his gaze again, it was resolute. He brushed Evalian’s hand off him and spoke solemnly: "I’ll go take a look."
He couldn’t be at ease about Daisy! Afraid that Aidan might hurt her again!
After Dawn Sutherland finished speaking, he walked directly out, leaving his back to the people in the office.
Arlo Seys and Nico Haynes knew he was worried about Daisy Grant, exchanged a glance, mutually understanding the depth in their eyes.
Stairwell.
Daisy Grant leaned against the wall, speaking calmly to Aidan Sutherland in front of her: "Aidan, we’re about to be married, I hope you can trust . There’s nothing between and my brother. I also hope you won’t visit my brother’s company causing trouble. After all, you two are half-brothers."
"I can trust you, but I don’t trust Dawn! He treats you differently compared to other girls! Daisy, the reason I’m so angry is because I care about you! I don’t want anyone else imagining or obsessing over my fiancée! Especially when that person is my half-brother!"
Daisy Grant’s lips curled in a hint of sarcasm.
If her brother loved her, would she be in such pain? She also wanted, truly as Aidan said, for her brother’s love to be hers! But unfortunately, it would never happen!
"So what do you need to believe? Our wedding date is already set, I can honestly say I’ve never wronged you. If you’re not assured of , let’s bring the wedding date forward."
Aidan Sutherland’s eyes brightened, looking at Daisy Grant, "Really?"
