Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 107

Justin finally figured out it was not wise to piss off Leena. She had many ways to retaliate. He was relieved that he was not her target.

The shop assistants looked at Edward with trepidation. How could they know that this plainly-dressed woman was the CEO's wife? And they certainly didn't expect that the CEO would pay them a visit. Edward had his designers, so he never went shopping. His daily outfits were bespoke suits, not something you could just buy off the rack.

"You are free to go. Leave us alone." Edward knew that they were shocked by his visit. But he wasn't here for them. He didn't need to be waited on hand and foot.

"Yes, boss." The assistants went back into the shop immediately. Although their CEO was handsome and attractive, he would not hesitate to fire them if they didn't keep their distance.

Daisy looked at Edward in doubt and wondered why he was recognized here.

Edward whispered in Daisy's ear and cleared her doubts.

"Are you saying that this super expensive department store is owned by FX International Group?" Daisy asked in surprise. "You are such a profiteer!" She exclaimed. Daisy still remembered some of the prices. All the clothes were insanely expensive and she could only afford one with her whole month's salary. 'Why couldn't he make the department store affordable for everyone?' Daisy thought.

"If I am a profiteer, you would be the wife of a profiteer." Edward pinched her small nose gently. Did she forget whose wife she was?

"We are not the same. I am a honest soldier who will fight against profiteers like you." Daisy looked at him defiantly. She was a good citizen who obeyed the law, and since when was she on his side?

"Dear, you are being rude to me again." Edward frowned as he realized that Daisy was not afraid of him anymore. She'd changed a lot since she first came back.

"We are in broad daylight. Get a room, OK?" Belinda said in a not very good mood. She was still stunned by Leena's words.

"Miss Belinda, are you satisfied with your shopping experience today? I will pay for all the clothes you like." Edward said. Edward's eyes were still fixed on Daisy.

"Really? What about the clothes that I bought earlier? Do they count?" Belinda smiled charmingly, and was satisfied with the fact that there were many people volunteered to pay for her bills recently. Edward wasn't embarrassed. He did offer, after all.

"Sure that counts. All your bills today will be paid by FX International Group to show how welcome you are here." Edward wasn't concerned about the bill. It was nothing compared to his fortune.

"Thank you, Mr. Edward, for being so generous. Leena, what are you waiting for? Didn't you hear that Mr. Edward will pay for our bills today? Come and pick out some clothes you like." Belinda beckoned Leena to her, and abandoned her vigilance.

"I'm done here. I bought many clothes earlier under FX International Group's account." Edward had always been kind to his little sister, and gave Leena permission to buy anything from FX International for free.

Belinda was rather disappointed that she couldn't do anything to make Edward feel taken advantage of. It was so boring.

"My dear, Let me see what you've bought." Edward asked when he noticed the leisure clothes Daisy wore. He wondered why she wasn't dressed in designer brands. Maybe Ouyang Foreign Trade couldn't afford it? Probably not, since Mary, also an heir of Ouyang Foreign Trade, wore luxury brands all the time.

"The clothes you gave me last time was more than enough for me. I don't need anything." Daisy said calmly, She didn't shop like Belinda and Leena did.

Edward frowned disapprovingly and waved to the assistants.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Mu?" The assistant walked to him and asked cautiously.

"I want you to pack all the new arrivals of this month according to Mrs. Mu's size and send them to my house." Edward ordered. It was not about Daisy's outfits, he was angry with how he treated her in the past. He figured he'd make up for that now. And it seemed necessary to have Luke look into how she used to live.

"Edward, I don't need so many clothes. I wear uniforms at work." Daisy wondered why he suddenly got mad.

"Keep them even if you don't get a chance to wear them." Even Edward had no idea where his outburst came from. He just needed to explode, and he did so at that moment.

As a soldier, she felt obliged to live humbly, not extravagantly. Daisy raised her eyebrows in anger. As a soldier she learned to be frugal, modest, and honest. What Edward did was a wasteful act. Why didn't he donate the money to welfare institutions?

"Don't listen to him and stop packing." Daisy glanced at Edward's gloomy face, wondering why he did everything of his own will. He never asked anyone else's opinion.

The assistant was nonplussed -- she didn't know whose orders to follow.

Edward didn't think Daisy would withdraw his orders. His eyes narrowed dangerously, and shot an angry look at Daisy. But what Daisy said next immediately drain the rage from him completely.
