Chapter 41 Your husband’s crush is so scheming.
"Miss Baker approached me and requested that I implore you and Laura," Daphne set the tone and understood that she shouldn't make Marcus angry, "to grant her marriage to Charles and welcome her into the Lancelot family.""Miss Baker came to me and asked me to plead with you and Laura."
Daphne adjusted the atmosphere in place, and knew that she would not be angry to Marcus, "so that you can agree to her marriage to Charles and accept her into the door of the Lancelot family."
The smile on Kayla's face suddenly froze, and his eyes were fixed on Daphne.
It seems that I never thought that Daphne would say it so bluntly.!
"itIt would be more reliable for her to buy a pillow to sleep. Go to dream."
Marcus said.
"allAll right."
Daphne said yesresponded.
They chatted a bit more before Marcus hung up the phone.
Daphne informed Kayla, who looked displeased, of the outcome: "I've helped you,you; Marcus suggests that you buy a pillow for a more comfortable sleep."
"You did it on purpose!" Kayla would be a fool not to see it now.
Daphne admitted with a nonchalant manner, "“Hmm."”
"Why would you do this?" Kayla was angry, her eyes burning with fire. "If you didn't want to agree, you could have just refused!"
Daphne took a sip of her coffee, not answering her.
Kayla clenched her hands tightly at her sides.
Laura Marcus and Laura already didn't like her, and now Daphne had stirred up even more trouble. Marcus's impression of her would be even worse.!
“Daphne!
It's all Daphne's your fault!
"Don't think that just because Marcus and Laura like you, you can stay in the Lancelot family," Kayla hated Daphne to the bone. "As long as Charles doesn't like you, you are nothing."
Daphne responded calmly, "You're right."
Kayla gritted her teeth, infuriated to the extreme.
Sitting across from her, Daphne appeared composed and relaxed, with a touch of chilly aloofness.
This only made Kayla feel more foolish.
"Anything else?" Daphne asked casually.
Kayla wanted to leave directly, but thinking about what happened earlier, she couldn't help but ask with teary eyes, "Did you arrange for something to happen to me at the hotel?"
"No," Daphne answered.
"You're so quick to deny it before I even said what it was," Kayla concluded that it was her.
"Charles told me," Daphne didn't throw her under the bus on this matter. Her gaze lingered on Kayla's face for a few seconds before she continued, "You should go to the hospital and get your brain checked, preferably with a CT scan."
Kayla's heart sank.
Could there be something wrong with her brain?
"What's wrong with my brain?"
"It got caught by a toilet seat," Daphne replied nonchalantly.
Kayla's knuckles turned white as she gripped her cup. If looks could kill, Daphne would have died many times over by now.
“Daphne!!!”
Daphne didn't say anything else to her.
While she got up and left her seat, Kayla went after her.
Daphne avoided her as if she had touched something dirty and asked, "What do you want?"
"I want to prove to you that between you and me, Charles chose me," Kayla didn't speak loudly, but Daphne understood her words clearly.
In that moment, she felt that Kayla was a pitiful person. Not the pitiful in a sympathetic way, but the pitiful one who must have some despicable qualities.
As she looked at her like that, she told her one outcome: "He had chosen you a long time ago."
She couldn't understand why Kayla liked Charles so much, and she couldn't comprehend why, even though she had already won, she still needed to prove herself to her.
It was truly absurd.
Kayla's eyes carried a determinatiopndetermination to take a gamble.
Just as she was about to do something, Daphne spoke up: "If you're planning to use yourself falling or bumping into something to frame me, you don't need to bother. There's a camera over there."
Kayla looked over and felt a sudden chill in her heart.
If she had just done it, and Charles investigated afterward, he would definitely find out that it was intentional, and all of her efforts would have been in vain.
Daphne didn't pay her any more attention and left with her own belongings.
Just On arrivinged home,. s
She received several messages from lab rat on her phone.
lab rat: "Holy cow! Daphne, guess what I found?"
lab rat: "Your future ex-husband's crush is intense."
lab rat: "Awesome!"
Daphne put down her computer and sat on the couch, making a phone call: "Did you check her?"
"I was just curious and couldn't resist finding out what kind of person could say such shameless words." Kevin felt a little guilty but got excited at the thought of gossip. "But I did discover a shocking secret."
"Keep it to yourself," Daphne wasn't interested in these things.
"Don't you want to know why Kayla came back?" Kevin found her name during his search.
Daphne maintained her attitude: "It has nothing to do with me."
"She came back to get Charles' money," Kevin told Daphne about the gossip he discovered. "She wants to use Charles' money to support other men."
Daphne: "..."
She replied to him: "Watch less soap operas."
"I'm telling you the truth!" Kevin held his phone between his shoulder and ear while typing on the keyboard, sending a screenshot to her. "If you don't believe me, look at the screenshot I'm sending you. It seems that she broke up with Charles before because he didn't dote on her."
Daphne: "?"
The more she listened, the more confused she became.
She truly had no interest in this topic. : "Stop searching people's information randomly afterward. Online attacks stalking are is illegal."
"Aren't you curious at all?"
"Not interested at all."
After Daphne said this, she ended the conversation with Kevin.
Everything she said was true. Kayla coming back had nothing to do with her, and why they broke up also had nothing to do with her.
As long as it didn't affect her, she wouldn't care about anything.
Meanwhile, on Kayla's side.
After returning to the apartment Charles bought for her, she called Charles and complained about Daphne's behavior today.
She was just as pitiful as usual: "I didn't expect her to say that. Will your grandfather's impression of me worsen?"
"You!!!
"Why go to her?" Charles frowned, with a pile of documents in front of him that needed his signature.
Kayla paused her crying, "Did... did I do something wrong?"
"Daphne has nothing to do with our situation, and I will handle those concerns you have," Charles replied calmly, feeling a bit tired. "Don't go to her because of our issues anymore."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Charles had images of Daphne's disapproval in his mind. "Don't overthink it, I'll come over after finishing work."
Kayla obediently agreed, but inside, she was calculating Charles' demand for her to stay away from Daphne.
Shortly after hanging up the phone, the old phone she had placed under her pillow suddenly vibrated.
At that moment, Kayla's face instantly turned paled.
