"I said, I don't agree. What right do you have to force me to replace your daughter to marry Atlas Drkov?"
Daisy said with a cold laugh.
She had just come home from work, but as soon as she entered the door, she saw two distinguished guests in the house. These two people were none other than the wife and daughter of the president of the Narine Group, Hubert Narine.
"Daisy Narine, you are marrying the young master of the Drkov family. It is your good fortune. You should be happy, you should thank us. Why do you refuse?" The speaker was a young girl dressed beautifully and gorgeously, her body exuding a strong scent of expensive perfume, her eyes looking at Daisy with fierceness and contempt.
This young girl was Yaretzi Narine. She was Daisy Narine's half-sister.
So, the president of the Narine Group was also Daisy's biological father, but she was not recognized. They only considered her an illegitimate child.
Why? Because her mother was just a lowly servant in the Narine family. That year, Mr. Hubert drank at a party. After that, he went home and accidentally entered Daisy's mother's room. Because he was drunk, he didn't know who the other person was, so he raped her.
After that, his wife, Mrs. Raanana, was the woman standing in front of Daisy. She immediately beat Daisy's mother and kicked her out of the house.
Two months later, she found out that she was pregnant. So she went to find Mr. Hubert, but he didn't accept it. Daisy's mother endured humiliation and pain when she gave birth to Daisy alone. That's why Daisy loved her mother so much.
Daisy laughed and said, "If it's such a blessing, then why don't you marry him? Is it because he's now just a disabled person in a wheelchair that you're worried about? I think if he was still the proud and outstanding CEO of the Drkov Group, it wouldn't be my turn to marry him."
"Hey, you dare to argue with me. If you marry a disabled person, that's your luck. Only a disabled person is worthy of a dirty girl like you. Although he is disabled, he is also the young billionaire of the Drkov family. We have arranged for you to enter that house and your life will be happy. This is beneficial to you. What else do you want?" Yaretzi said through gritted teeth.
"Am I only worthy of a disabled person? My marriage, you are not qualified to arrange. Please leave my house," Daisy said coldly.
"You.."
Yaretzi still wanted to say something, but Mrs. Raanana stopped her. She clapped her hands a few times.
From inside, two tall, muscular men in black led a middle-aged woman to the living room.
Looking at this woman, Daisy panicked: "Mom."
She did not see her mother in the house. She thought her mother had gone out, but it turned out that her mother was being held back by these two men. No wonder she felt strange. How did these two men get into her house? It turned out that they had taken her mother.
"Daisy." The woman's voice could not hide her anxiety.
Daisy was angry. She looked at Mrs. Raanana and said coldly, "What are you doing? Please release my mother."
"Okay. But on one condition, you must agree to marry the young master of the Drkov family." Mrs. Raanana curled her bright red lips and said.
"Don't force me. I don't agree with this marriage. Quickly release my mother. Otherwise, don't blame me for going against you." Daisy did not give up, she said. She was determined not to listen to her stepmother's arrangement.
"Hmph, a weak daughter like you, what can you do to our bodyguard?" Yaretzi crossed her arms and spoke smugly.
As she finished speaking, Daisy rushed forward and defeated the two bodyguards. She acted extremely decisively and coherently, surprising Yaretzi and her mother.
"You..." Yaretzi pointed at Daisy's face. She didn't know what to say, she didn't think Daisy's body was so slim, but Daisy could knock down two big men, and even Mrs. Raanana was shocked.
Daisy didn't care about the two men lying on the ground. She ran to help her mother up. She asked worriedly: "Mom, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Daisy, don't worry about me." Mrs. Cara lowered her voice, she didn't want her daughter to worry.
Daisy checked her mother and then looked at the two women standing in front of her, saying: "If you don't leave, I'll beat you."
"You wait." Mrs. Raanana was angry, but she couldn't do anything to Daisy. She pulled Yaretzi's hand and left.
The two men screaming in pain on the ground were stared at by Daisy, then quickly ran away.
Mrs. Raanana and her daughter ran to the luxury car. Yaretzi was not satisfied, she said: "Mom, she doesn't agree to marry that disabled man. What should I do? I don't want to marry him."
"We'll think of a way later." Mrs. Raanana said, a little annoyed. If the Narine Group wasn't about to go bankrupt, they would have to rely on the Drkov Group, then her daughter wouldn't have to marry a disabled man.
"Mom, think quickly, there are only two days left." Yaretzi couldn't help but urge her mother.
Mrs. Raanana was silent, she knew that time was limited, her husband and Mr. Drkov discussed that in two days, they would take their daughter to the Drkov house.
---
Inside the rented house that was only 30 square meters long, Daisy and her mother were talking.
"What happened before I left?"
Mrs. Cara began to tell her. "I was cooking when I heard a knock on the door, so I opened the door. I didn't think it was Mrs. Raanana and her daughter. She said she had something to tell me. What I didn't expect was that she wanted you to marry that man instead of her daughter. I didn't agree, she ordered the guards to arrest me, gagged me, and didn't let me speak."
After listening to her mother's story, Daisy clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and said: "They are so shameless, Narine Corporation when it's prosperous, they don't care about us. Now that they're going bankrupt, they're coming to us again. What do they think we are?"
Daisy and her mother were both unrelated to Narine's house from beginning to end, no one could force her to do something she didn't want to do. Narine Corporation goes bankrupt, it has nothing to do with her, why did they force her to replace Yaretzi to marry a strange man?
But things weren't what Daisy wanted, the next day, she came home from work and saw the house door was desolate, her mother was missing, and there was a letter on the table.
After reading the letter, she immediately ran to Narine's house, different from last time, this time Narine's house opened the door wide for her to enter.
A butler was leading her inside the living room, on the lounge chair were all three members of Narine's house, Daisy's face turned cold, and she walked inside and said coldly: "Where is my mother?"
"Please sit down first." Mr. Hubert looked at her, he said in a low voice.
Daisy didn't sit, she asked: "Where do you keep my mother, please give her to me quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for destroying your house."
"Sassy, I tell you to sit down first." At her words, Mr. Hubert's forehead was full of blue veins.
Daisy glanced at him, she said in a deep voice: "I don't have time to talk to you, please bring my mother here."
"Are you talking to your father like this?" Mr. Hubert is a hot-tempered person, seeing Daisy's indifferent and disrespectful attitude, he is extremely angry.
"How do I talk? Are you my father? From childhood to adulthood, you haven't raised me in a day." Daisy said sarcastically.
"You.." Mr. Hubert stood up, pointed at Daisy, he said: "Even though I don't raise you, I'm also your father, you should remember that you are a member of Narine's house, the blood is flowing in you. Belongs to the lineage of the Narine family. I don't tell you much either, now the company is in trouble, you are the daughter of Narine's house, you have to take charge, you have to replace your sister and marry the son of Drkov's house."
Daisy laughed. "Even if the blood in my body belongs to the Narine family, I will never admit I am your daughter, nor will you ever be my father, I only have my mother."
"You..." Mr. Hubert's hands trembled.
Mrs. Raanana couldn't stand it anymore, she spoke up: "You don't need to say much to her. Daisy, let's get the point straight, your mother is in our hands, you want me to release her, and you have to agree to marry Atlas Drkov. Otherwise, in this life, you don't hope to see your mother again."
"You dare arrest my mother, I will report to the police." Having said that, Daisy was about to take out her phone and call the police, Mrs. Raanana smiled coldly and said: "Just do as you say. Until the police arrive at the house, they can't find your mother here, they can't tell us to arrest your mother. You are so naive."
Hearing that, Daisy's hand holding the phone stopped, she held the phone tightly, her eyes coldly looking at Mrs. Raanana.
Mrs. Raanana is right, Daisy called the police, but it was useless. She didn't know where they took her mother. If the police can't find her mother, it's in vain.
Seeing her thinking, Mrs. Raanana proudly said: "How are you, do you still want to call the police?"
Daisy didn't answer, she just gritted her teeth and looked at Mrs. Raanana angrily.
Mrs. Raanana continued: "Do you agree or not? Your mother's fate lies in your decision."
Daisy closed her eyes, she had no other choice. Finally, she took a deep breath and said: "I agree."
Mrs. Raanana said with satisfaction: "Very good, you have to see Mr tomorrow. Drakov. Tonight, you stay here. As for your mother, when you officially marry Atlas Drakov, I'll release your mother."
"I want to see my mother," Daisy suggested.
Mrs. Raanana glanced at her husband, then she ordered the butler to bring Daisy's mother here.
Mrs. Cara arrives with two men but a man in his hand holds a knife. He put a knife to her mother's neck, seemingly afraid she would act like she did yesterday.
"Mom."
"Daisy, you don't need to worry about me, don't sacrifice your happiness for me, it's okay if I die." Mrs. Cara saw her daughter, she said hastily, inside, she heard the whole story.
Daisy frowned and said. "Mom, you don't say that." Her mother raised her alone until today, and she hasn't been able to repay her mother's kindness. Can Cara please stop talking about death?
Daisy sacrifices her happiness, what does that mean? In this life, her mother sacrificed everything for her, her happiness had no meaning.
"Daisy, you..."
"That's enough, please bring her inside." Mrs. Raanana didn't let Mrs. Cara finish her sentence, she interrupted her and ordered two bodyguards to take Mrs. Cara inside.
"Mom." Daisy saw her mother being dragged away, her heart was both worried and angry but she couldn't do anything.
-
Six o'clock the next afternoon, the Royal Hotel.
Daisy followed her father into a presidential room, in front of the hallway there were several men in black standing in front of the room door. Mr. Hubert looked at them and said: "I'm Hubert Narine. I have a meeting with Mr. Drkov, is he inside?"
"Yes, please come in." A person dressed in black looked at Mr. Hubert then he opened the door for the two of them to enter.
Entering the room, Daisy sees a grizzly-haired old man sitting on a lounge chair in the middle of the living room, with a kettle, and cups on the table, holding a cup of tea in his hand and enjoying it.
Daisy and Mr. Hubert walked up to him, but he hadn't looked at the two of them. Mr. Hubert proactively spoke up first, "Chairman Drkov, I brought my daughter here."
The old man in front of them was Mr. Drkov, Daisy couldn't help but observe him, the first time she met a big character, of course, she had to look closely. Usually, she only gets to see his face in books and newspapers. Now, she looked at him in real life, which was a bit hard to imagine.
However, the most famous person in this city is not him but his nephew, Atlas Drkov, who will soon be her husband.
Mr. Drkov just looked up at the two of them, he said: "Sit down." The two of them sat down across from Mr. Drkov, and he looked at Daisy again and observed her.
Being stared at like that, Daisy didn't feel stressed, her face still looked calm as if nothing had happened.
Mr. Drkov's eyes flashed with interest, and after a while, he said: "Good."
"Thank you for praising my daughter but she still has many shortcomings. How dare we let you praise like that." Mr. Hubert heard the compliment from Mr. Drkov, he immediately opened his mouth to speak.
Mr. Drkov asked again: "I heard you have two daughters, one is the daughter of your official wife, and the other is an illegitimate daughter. So, who's the girl in front of me?"
Mr. Hubert was surprised, he didn't think Mr. Drkov knew about this again, his heart was low. Speaking of this, he felt embarrassed and said: "She is Yaretzi Narine, she was born to my wife."
"So what?" Mr. Drkov raised his eyes and looked at Daisy, he asked: "Girl, can you tell me who you are?"
Mr. Hubert gestured to her but Daisy didn't pay attention to him, she calmly said: "Daisy Narine."
"Yaretzi, what the hell are you talking about? Your mother, have you forgotten?" Mr. Hubert warned and looked at her.
Daisy smiled coldly, she replaced Yaretzi to get married, but that doesn't mean she also changed her last name, she doesn't want to live under someone else's name.
Mr. Drkov has investigated this, does he not know who she is? Mr. Hubert wants Daisy to call herself Yaretzi, stupid.
Mr. Drkov was interested and looked at the girl in front of him, it seemed like she was an honest person, he said: "I asked again, who is this girl, I need the correct answer."
"Yaretzi."
"Daisy."
Two voices simultaneously, Mr. Hubert astonished and looked at Daisy. Did she forget her mother was being arrested by him?
"Mr. Hubert, I'm giving you one last chance, at who she is. If you're lying, we don't need to talk about it anymore. You think I'm old so you can fool me?" Mr. Drkov's voice was a little angry, his eyes were slightly twisted, and his forehead was a straight line.
Mr. Hubert was so scared that he sweated, but he'd wipe it. Anyway, he's the president of a big corporation, but when he faces a president like him, he gets scared.
After all, the opponent has more power than he. Moreover, he's a beggar now, so it's understandable that he has a fearful attitude.
In front of Mr. Drkov's dangerous gaze, Mr. Hubert said, "She's Daisy."
Mr. Drkov knocked his arm down on the table, causing Mr. Hubert to be shocked.
"Chairman, although she is Daisy, she is still my daughter." Mr. Hubert hurried.
Daisy was at the side with a cold laugh, but she didn't say anything. Her father wants her to replace Yaretzi with a stranger, and that's a price.
"In the beginning, you lied to me, but your daughter is honest, considering this point, I don't think about it. You go out, I want to talk to her in private." Mr. Drkov suddenly kicked Mr. Hubert out, confused him, and he didn't understand.
"Chairman, on the issue of investment..."
Mr. Hubert was speaking, but he saw Mr. Drkov's cold eyes, he was silent. There's no other way, he can only go out, before he goes, he's still staring at Daisy.
Right now, there's only one old man and one young girl left in the room. Mr. Drkov said, "I've investigated and found out your mother and you live outside, right?"
"From time to time, we've always lived outside," Daisy said.
"Well, I'll be straight. You're an honest person, I like your personality. You must know what my nephew is like, don't you? So, do you agree to marry him?" Mr. Drkov looked straight into her eyes and asked.
Though this marriage is a commercial marriage, he needs a man who loves his nephew sincerely.
Daisy says, "I came here, which means I agreed to marry him."
"Are you afraid my nephew is paralyzed?"
"I accept," Daisy answered, does she have any right to worry? Her mother is in the hands of Narine's house, she's forced to marry Atlas. More precisely, she had to make a deal with Mr. Drkov for him to invest in the Narine Corporation.
"Well, I don't care why you agreed to marry my nephew, but once you've become the bride of Drkov's house, you have to love my nephews, can you do that?" Mr. Drkov asked and looked at her.
Daisy didn't hesitate, she insisted, "Okay."
If she hesitates, it's useless. She can only make a definitive decision. Anyway, she doesn't have a boyfriend. She'll do the duty of a wife well.
Seeing Daisy answering so quickly, Mr. Drkov was very pleased, he said: "In three days, our family will deliver the wedding gift to your house. We're going to have a wedding in seven days, do you have any ideas?"
"No, sir, but I have a condition." Sooner or later, she will have to get married. If she gets married as soon as possible, her mother will be released soon so she has no opinion.
Mr. Drkov glanced at her and he said: "What is that?"
"Please bring your wedding gift to my house, not Narine's house," Daisy stated her condition.
Hearing that, Mr. Drkov said without hesitation: "Okay."
Daisy walked out of the presidential suite, holding a contract in her hand. Seeing Mr. Hubert, she said nothing and walked to the elevator door, he impatiently followed her.
"And what did you and Mr. Drkov say to each other? How's the contract?" He kept asking.
Daisy didn't say anything, she left.
