Daisy Grant’s body shivered, raising her hand, she bit her lip, her pale and slender fingers swung towards Aidan Sutherland.

Her fingers were suddenly held tight, and Aidan’s coldness emanated bit by bit, his voice icy: "Daisy Grant, be sensible! You’re the one holding the evidence now, not me! If I release the surveillance footage of you entering and leaving Dawn Sutherland’s room in the hotel that night, imagine the uproar it would cause! Dawn Sutherland, President Sutherland of C.Y., messing around with his future sister-in-law at the opening party—if this news hits the newspapers, both you and Dawn would be utterly disgraced!!"

While Aidan and Daisy were arguing, simultaneously, outside the café.

Sam Brown looked hesitantly at the now somber-looking Dawn Sutherland beside him, softly reminding, "President Sutherland, are we still going to see Miss Grant at the Grant Clan?"

Dawn’s thin lips moved slightly, his gaze falling on Daisy’s hand held by Aidan, his eyes darkening as he took the lead to walk over.

Daisy’s body shivered violently, "Aidan, don’t go too far! That’s your brother! Why have you been targeting your second brother since childhood?! Why can’t you be a bit more tolerant towards him?!"

Daisy forcefully broke free from Aidan’s grip, casting a cold glance at him.

"Daisy Grant, I’ll never be lenient with Dawn. I’m giving you two choices; think carefully! One, marry me. Two, give me twenty percent of your Grant Clan shares, and I’ll drop the matter between you and Dawn. Otherwise, I guarantee the footage will spread all over the internet!!"

"You want me to marry you just because you want the Grant Clan shares. Because if I marry you, your hand will reach further into the Grant Clan! Aidan, you think nobody knows your schemes?!"

Aidan was about to reply to Daisy when the café door was pushed open, and the server’s voice rang out, "Sorry sir, we are temporarily closed now!"

"I’m here to find someone."

A familiar voice came, causing both Daisy and Aidan to turn their gaze toward Dawn Sutherland, who walked in.

"Second brother, why are you here?" Daisy’s gaze softened upon seeing it was Dawn, lifting her legs to meet him.

Dawn reached out and drew Daisy into his arms, casting a quick glance at Aidan, his brow laced with chill, but he had no intention of speaking or greeting.

When Dawn’s gaze returned to the person in his arms, he smiled gently: "I just finished dining with a customer with Sam, and knowing I’d pass by the Grant Clan, I packed a few dishes you love to bring them to you."

Daisy’s brows and eyes smiled, her lips curved, voice gentle: "Thank you, second brother."

"Let’s go." Dawn, holding Daisy, turned to leave.

In Dawn’s embrace, Daisy felt an overwhelming sense of safety and dependence, warmed and happy.

Just then, Aidan, who was ignored, coldly spoke, "Daisy Grant, think carefully about what I’ve said! You know I’m impatient! Don’t wait until it’s too late to regret!!"

Aidan’s words echoed in the ears of Dawn and Daisy, causing Daisy’s body to shiver violently. As Dawn was about to turn back and question Aidan, Daisy quickly held onto the sleeve of Dawn’s shirt, shaking her head at him, her eyes pleading.

Dawn gave in, unable to refuse the pleading look in her eyes, continued to hold her and walked outside, deciding not to argue with Aidan anymore.

Being held by Dawn, Daisy’s mind was restless, feeling so heavy that even breathing carried discomfort and suffocation...
