"Daisy..." It took quite a while before Lady Stephens spoke in a somewhat panicked voice, "I, I don't know... I, I'll call Edward and ask him now..."
She hastily picked up the landline from the coffee table, ready to dial Edward Stephens, but Daisy stopped her.
Daisy helplessly reached out and pressed down on Lady Stephens' hand, speaking softly, "What good will it do for you to call him now?"
Lady Stephens looked at her, pale and somewhat at a loss. Daisy gazed intently into Lady Stephens' eyes and could tell that she truly seemed unaware of the situation.
She was well-protected by her two sons, living a worry-free life, doing whatever she pleased, with someone always covering for her when she made mistakes.
She had been deceived by such a naive and foolish woman for an entire year. If not for Robert Stephens having ulterior motives and informing her of the truth, she might have been kept in the dark for the rest of her life.
