Chapter 328: Chapter 327: Where Has She Ever Suffered Such Humiliation?
"..."
Daisy Ginger was silent.
This seemed like a multiple-choice question, but for her, there was actually only one option.
She could have left when she realized Edward Stephens was manipulating the company’s stocks, but she couldn’t refuse "Alice Lesser" when Edward gave her an ultimatum.
That was...
The only thing left of her mother in this world, and also the evidence of her eight years of hard work.
If anyone in this world still harbored feelings for this group, it was certainly her.
The more she loved the company she worked so hard to support, the more she resented Edward’s blatant manipulation of it.
However, the situation was beyond her control. Under his manipulation, she had no power to fight back and was forced to sell off more than half of her shares to barely keep the company running.
From a billion-dollar listed company to the brink of bankruptcy, it took less than a month.
With what could she compete against others?

The dinner ended in a rather unpleasant atmosphere for both parties.
They had to rush early in the morning tomorrow, and perhaps fearing she’d have trouble sleeping, Edward didn’t continue the topic, stopping at the right point, then cleaned up the dishes and called someone to take them out to dispose of them.
Daisy Ginger came out after taking a shower, and the man was already out of the room.
With one less person around, Daisy Ginger felt relieved instead.
Without the pressure he gave her, the stone weighing on her heart also slightly eased.
After nearly two months of digesting it, Daisy Ginger had accepted the reality that the man before her was someone else.
Their personalities were completely different, apart from having identical faces, they were actually easy to distinguish.
One was gentle, the other cold; one was tolerant, the other domineering—completely opposite personalities.
If she hadn’t been deceived by Lady Stephens, she wouldn’t have possibly mistaken them for the same person.
Daisy Ginger turned on the TV, planning to watch a bit before going to sleep. However, from somewhere outside, the sound of square dance music blared loudly, utterly drowning out the news broadcaster’s voice on TV. She closed the window, but it couldn’t stop the noise from piercing her mind.
Frustrated, she turned off the TV and planned to go for a walk while Edward wasn’t back yet. Just as she reached the door, she saw a man squatting there smoking, with several cigarette butts discarded on the floor. When he saw her open the door, he immediately stood up and greeted her warmly, "Miss Ginger."
Daisy Ginger glanced at him, recognizing him as one of the people Edward brought along this time, coldly intending not to respond and wanted to leave, but was blocked by his outstretched arm.
The man looked quite young, with a buzz cut, not someone easy to mess with. He smiled politely at her, "Miss Ginger, Edward will be back soon. You better wait in the room."
Only then did Daisy Ginger realize that this guy was practically stationed at her door watching her.
She couldn’t help but grit her teeth angrily and sneered: "Do I look like I’m going to run away from him here?!"
"Miss Ginger, please don’t make it difficult for me." The man politely blocked her, smiling, "Edward gave the orders. We’re just following them, and we wouldn’t dare defy him. If you want to go somewhere, wait for Edward to come back and ask him to take you out for a walk. It’s just a few more minutes."
Daisy Ginger was livid, realizing that even though Edward detained her back, on the surface it seemed like she had food and drink, in reality, she didn’t even have personal freedom.
How could she have ever endured such humiliation?
She couldn’t help but curse in anger: "Get that bastard Edward Stephens back here for me!"
