Sweet Twins novel Chapter 523

"Humph! No matter how useless Joseph is, he is still the son of the Fu family. A lot of women chase after him even if he is already taken. How can he fall in love with Daisy?" Vida's voice dripped with so much sarcasm. Her face even contorted into an expression of mockery.

Meanwhile, Daisy wanted to stop on her tracks and turn around to argue with Vida. They were both women, but why was her sister-in-law making things difficult for her?

Instead of bickering, Daisy just bit her lips and kept all the insults to herself before walking to her bedroom.

She just wanted to rest. After all, even if she were to argue with Vida, the latter would certainly not listen. That woman was just very close-minded.

After taking a shower, Daisy threw herself on the bed and immediately fell asleep from physical and mental exhaustion.

She didn't know how long she had slept and only woke up to the noise coming from the courtyard.

"She can't give birth to a baby, so the Fu family drove her out."

It was Vida's voice again, and she was evidently mocking Daisy just like she had no other better things to do.

The former clearly thought that the main reason Daisy was discarded by her in-laws was her inability to produce an offspring.

And hearing this, Daisy couldn't help flashing a bitter smile while stretching herself. She had a scheduled shoot today, and she'd better get out of bed if she wanted to make it in time.

But the second her mind thought of that damn Joseph, Daisy immediately felt dizzy.

Rubbing her forehead and slightly wincing in pain, she headed downstairs.

"Why did you get up so late? Look! We don't have much food left to eat." Jillian rolled her eyes the moment she saw Daisy.

"No food? Well, I'm not hungry anyway." Daisy looked around and asked, "Where are my father and brother?"

"They already went to the office. The company has been stagnant recently. Your father and brother are annoyed, and now that you're back, they're gonna be more frustrated. Why did you divorce Joseph anyway? We can't borrow money from the Fu family anymore. How can we solve the problem in the company now?" A hint of annoyance and displeasure could be extracted from Jillian's voice.

"You sold me to Fu family for tons of money. Wasn't that enough for you? I'm human, not some commodity you can just use to gain money. Don't you have any filial affection for me?" Over the years, Daisy had always tolerated how she was treated in her family. No words of complaint had ever left her lips, not until today. It seemed that her patience had run out, and she could not contain herself anymore.

"What are you talking about, Daisy? What do you mean by saying that we don't have filial affection for you? Are we that cold? If we really don't care about you, then why did we give you a villa when you married Joseph? Now that its value has accumulated, it could be sold for a fortune," said Vida, who stared at her with a pair of greedy eyes.

Immediately after looking at her, Daisy could tell that the woman was plotting to steal her own house again. But there was no way she'd let her have it. So, snorting, she said, "The property ownership certificate of that house is under my name. Don't even think about it."

"Mom, can you hear her?! She has become so arrogant now!" Vida retorted discontentedly, turning to her mother-in-law, hoping that the old woman would take her side.

"How can you talk to your sister-in-law like this, Daisy?" Jillian scolded in a stern voice.

However, no matter how much they ganged up on her, Daisy merely turned around and headed back upstairs without saying anything. She couldn't have breakfast at home, not with those two women around. So after dressing up, she decided to leave and just eat in the shooting location.

But, once she reached the place, she was utterly pissed to see Joseph lurking around. Just as she thought she had escaped the curse at home, another one was about to ruin her day.

'Why am I so unlucky? No matter where I go, bad luck is always tailing me behind, ' Daisy complained internally, rubbing her temples to ease the dizziness she felt again.

Instead of heading out, she just stayed inside the taxi and ate her chicken burger in peace.

As soon as she finished and arrived at the crew, Joseph came over to her––just as she expected.

Without saying a word, he grabbed her arm and pulled her aside.

"Where did you go last night?" he asked as his brows furrowed tightly. "I went to see a man." Daisy obviously said that on purpose to piss Joseph off.

She was nobody to him now. Why did he still care about her?

"Mind your words!" Joseph shouted coldly, clenching his fists.

"Do I need to tell you every single thing I do? Joseph, you know we both have nothing to do with each other now. So, can you please back off and just leave me alone?" Daisy brushed off his hand as she held her head high. In the years that they had been married together, it was the first time she ever confidently rejected him.

Looking back, she had always been so soft-spoken and careful around him.
