Sweet Twins novel Chapter 523

"Humph! No matter how useless Joseph is, he is still the son of the Fu family. A lot of women chase after him even if he is already taken. How can he fall in love with Daisy?" Vida's voice dripped with so much sarcasm. Her face even contorted into an expression of mockery.

Meanwhile, Daisy wanted to stop on her tracks and turn around to argue with Vida. They were both women, but why was her sister-in-law making things difficult for her?

Instead of bickering, Daisy just bit her lips and kept all the insults to herself before walking to her bedroom.

She just wanted to rest. After all, even if she were to argue with Vida, the latter would certainly not listen. That woman was just very close-minded.

After taking a shower, Daisy threw herself on the bed and immediately fell asleep from physical and mental exhaustion.

She didn't know how long she had slept and only woke up to the noise coming from the courtyard.

"She can't give birth to a baby, so the Fu family drove her out."

It was Vida's voice again, and she was evidently mocking Daisy just like she had no other better things to do.

The former clearly thought that the main reason Daisy was discarded by her in-laws was her inability to produce an offspring.

And hearing this, Daisy couldn't help flashing a bitter smile while stretching herself. She had a scheduled shoot today, and she'd better get out of bed if she wanted to make it in time.

But the second her mind thought of that damn Joseph, Daisy immediately felt dizzy.

Rubbing her forehead and slightly wincing in pain, she headed downstairs.

"Why did you get up so late? Look! We don't have much food left to eat." Jillian rolled her eyes the moment she saw Daisy.

"No food? Well, I'm not hungry anyway." Daisy looked around and asked, "Where are my father and brother?"

"They already went to the office. The company has been stagnant recently. Your father and brother are annoyed, and now that you're back, they're gonna be more frustrated. Why did you divorce Joseph anyway? We can't borrow money from the Fu family anymore. How can we solve the problem in the company now?" A hint of annoyance and displeasure could be extracted from Jillian's voice.

"You sold me to Fu family for tons of money. Wasn't that enough for you? I'm human, not some commodity you can just use to gain money. Don't you have any filial affection for me?" Over the years, Daisy had always tolerated how she was treated in her family. No words of complaint had ever left her lips, not until today. It seemed that her patience had run out, and she could not contain herself anymore.

"What are you talking about, Daisy? What do you mean by saying that we don't have filial affection for you? Are we that cold? If we really don't care about you, then why did we give you a villa when you married Joseph? Now that its value has accumulated, it could be sold for a fortune," said Vida, who stared at her with a pair of greedy eyes.

Immediately after looking at her, Daisy could tell that the woman was plotting to steal her own house again. But there was no way she'd let her have it. So, snorting, she said, "The property ownership certificate of that house is under my name. Don't even think about it."

"Mom, can you hear her?! She has become so arrogant now!" Vida retorted discontentedly, turning to her mother-in-law, hoping that the old woman would take her side.

"How can you talk to your sister-in-law like this, Daisy?" Jillian scolded in a stern voice.

However, no matter how much they ganged up on her, Daisy merely turned around and headed back upstairs without saying anything. She couldn't have breakfast at home, not with those two women around. So after dressing up, she decided to leave and just eat in the shooting location.

But, once she reached the place, she was utterly pissed to see Joseph lurking around. Just as she thought she had escaped the curse at home, another one was about to ruin her day.

'Why am I so unlucky? No matter where I go, bad luck is always tailing me behind, ' Daisy complained internally, rubbing her temples to ease the dizziness she felt again.

Instead of heading out, she just stayed inside the taxi and ate her chicken burger in peace.

As soon as she finished and arrived at the crew, Joseph came over to her––just as she expected.

Without saying a word, he grabbed her arm and pulled her aside.

"Where did you go last night?" he asked as his brows furrowed tightly. "I went to see a man." Daisy obviously said that on purpose to piss Joseph off.

She was nobody to him now. Why did he still care about her?

"Mind your words!" Joseph shouted coldly, clenching his fists.

"Do I need to tell you every single thing I do? Joseph, you know we both have nothing to do with each other now. So, can you please back off and just leave me alone?" Daisy brushed off his hand as she held her head high. In the years that they had been married together, it was the first time she ever confidently rejected him.

Looking back, she had always been so soft-spoken and careful around him.

But now that she was finally able to see through things, Daisy felt aggrieved when thinking about how foolish she was back then.

"How could we have nothing to do with each other? You are my ex-wife, my future wife..." Joseph said viciously, although a slight hint of pain was etched in his voice.

"You are just making things complicated, Joseph. Look, the shooting is about to start. I need to go; the director is here." Daisy pointed at the man in black, not far away from them.

"I don't care. You are my wife. You are not allowed to go anywhere without my permission."

Upon hearing this, Daisy was rendered speechless but just chose not to say anything.

"Let's start now. We have to make sure our movie attracts a lot of attention and generates millions of audience. So, let's work hard," the director reminded them.

"Especially our love play, right?" Joseph said, running his fingers around Daisy's hair.

"Of course. We're going to film a love scene today, so you two need to be in your A-game!" Obviously, the director was too excited to start the filming that he didn't even notice the thick air around the former couple.

"Of course, we will. Right, Daisy?" Joseph shifted his full attention on her, not minding if a lot of the crew members could see them.

He only wanted Daisy, and no one else.

Joseph had never known what love was, but when he found out that Anna had lied to him, he finally realized whom he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

Unfortunately for him, it was already too late. He had already divorced the woman he loved.

On top of this, he knew that the only one who could tolerate and match him was Daisy, but he had been blind. And he blamed no one else but himself.

'How foolish of me to lose her!

I'd never let go of her again this time, ' Joseph promised himself.

So, when they started filming their kissing scene, Joseph deliberately performed poorly so that they would shot the scene over and over again.

True enough, after 5 consecutive shots, Daisy's lips were so swollen as if an insect had bitten them.

And although she knew he was doing it on purpose, she helplessly could not complain. After all, Joseph was the main lead, and he was almost the boss around here.

Even if she tried to argue her point, no one would definitely listen to her.

"Joseph, are you taking advantage of me?" After they finally wrapped up the shooting, Daisy approached him and discreetly asked in a low voice.

"Take advantage of you? That's what bad men would do. But you know I'm not one of them. How can you accuse me of such?" Joseph clearly had his own way of saying sweet words.

"I've always known you as a vicious man, Joseph. And now, I find that you are really unreasonable." After saying that, Daisy turned around to pack up her things.

"You can't live on reason. Why should I be reasonable?" Not accepting to be ignored, Joseph retorted and followed her.

However, Doris just kept mum and sneered. Reasoning with him was like a punch in the moon––it was impossible!

So instead of arguing, she just packed up her things and walked out of the set.

"Where are you going?" Joseph tailed her again and asked.

"I'm going home."

"Which home?"

"My parents' house! Stop following me!"

"I'm going with you," Joseph said overbearingly, not even minding to ask her permission first.

"You know what? I let you live in my villa, and yet you're still pestering me! I'm warning you, don't follow me. My brother, sister-in-law, and parents will not let you in," Daisy said aggressively and pierced him with an intense glare.

Although she was not welcomed there, her parents' house was the only place she could avoid Joseph. So, left with no other choice, she just chose to go home.
