His eyes flashed, he looked at Mr. Drkov and explained: 'It's not fair for me, grandfather. Winifred and I were harmed by someone. That night, I was drunk and didn't know what to do. When I woke up, I saw Winifred next to me, the next day someone sent these pictures to our house to blackmail me. I'm afraid he misunderstood me. I brought a few photos into his room to explain to him, but I didn't think he would get angry as soon as he saw those photos. I didn't have a chance to explain."

Hearing that, Mr. Drkov squinted his eyes slightly, and wrinkles on his forehead gradually appeared. "Really?"'That's right, if you don't believe it, you can ask the butler, he brought these photos to me."


Dalziel slightly raised his eyes to look at Mr. Drkov, he had already arranged this and was not afraid that he would question him.

Indeed, Mr. Drkov seemed less angry and more thoughtful. Dalziel took this opportunity to say: "Please don't think unfairly of me. It's very possible that someone wanted to divide Drkov's house and did so."

'Okay, I'll trust you on this matter now, you go out first."


Mr. Drkov rubbed his temples a bit tiredly.

But Dalziel didn't come out and say, "Grandpa, I have something to tell you."


"Please speak."

Mr. Drkov leisurely turned away.

'Even though Winifred and I fell into a trap, it cannot be denied that I took away her innocence, so I want to take responsibility for her."

Dalziel's voice was that of a responsible man.

Mr. Drkov couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What do you want to be responsible for?"

'I want to marry her."

Dalziel spoke slowly again, looking at Mr. Drkov.

'What, that's impossible."

He immediately objected.

Dalziel said sadly again: 'Why? I don't want to be like my father, taking away precious things from women and pretending it was nothing. Furthermore, Winifred is a golden branch with jade leaves, please let me be responsible for her until the end."

His words must have made Mr. Drkov unable to stop thinking painfully, after a while he sighed deeply and said: "This matter will be later and you go out first."

"Yes, I know but I hope you accept, it has had a significant impact on her psychology."Having finished speaking, he did not let Mr. Drkov react, Dalziel walked out of the room, he was sure that he would agree, Winifred would be much happier coming to Drkov's house every day.

He imagined Atlas's distorted, crazy face and felt excited. Just looking at the photo makes him feel such anger. He wonders what it's like for Atlas to watch Dalziel and Winifred make love in front of him every day. His calculations gradually appeared in Dalziel's mind.

The next day, Daisy had to go to the company to meet the CEO. After she left, Atlas said to Linus: 'I want to know all the information about Daisy, you must give it to me today."

'Yes, young master."

Linus left, and Atlas sat alone in the room thinking. This woman had been with him for almost a month and had never shown contempt or criticism towards him. On the contrary, she moved him many times.

His heart should have frozen, but it began to melt more and more. Even though he didn't care about her words and actions, those words kept appearing in his mind. She said not all women lie, and she also said she wouldn't lie to him, is that true? Can he trust her? His mind told him not to trust any woman anymore, but his heart fluttered.

Why, he doesn't want to believe her, simply because he's afraid she's just acting. One day she achieves her goal and will be like the woman who left him, even saying contemptuous words towards him.

So he would rather not believe her from the beginning.

Atlas kept repeating to himself that he couldn't let her gentle smiling face fool him, it was all fake, it was all fake.

He closed his eyes tightly to calm down and stabilize his chaotic heart.

Daisy sat with the editor-in-chief again, but there was another man next to her. Her face suddenly darkened as she looked at the editor-in-chief and said directly: "I came to discuss work with you. If you already have guests, I'll go first. We will discuss it next week. Listen, Daisy, we exchange manuscripts once a week. You can't leave, my younger brother just came to give me something, he's leaving now."

The editor-in-chief said, pointing towards Griffith.

He saw that Daisy was a little excited and immediately received a signal from her sister. He had no choice but to leave, but when he reached the door, his eyes were still glued to her.

Daisy was a bit indifferent, but the editor-in-chief smiled and said: "Daisy, sit down."

'Editor-in-chief, I hope what happened today was just a coincidence and not arranged by you. I was so angry last time. I am a very serious person in my work. If that happens again, I'm not sure if I can continue working with you on the next project."

Daisy reminded but with a bit of warning.

The editor-in-chief felt guilty after hearing this. She touched her nose again and said: "What happened last time was wrong for you. It was only because Griffith was too determined that he did this action. Hope you sympathize with me. I'm his older sister, I can't see him suffering like that."

"You don't know, this time Griffith skipped class to come see you, so I..."

'I don't care, I've already made it clear to Griffith, I hope he can understand."

Daisy interrupted the editor-in-chief, leaving her speechless and unable to say anything more.

The atmosphere was a bit tense until Daisy took the manuscript and placed it in front of the editor-in-chief. Then the atmosphere calmed down a bit and the two began to discuss work again.

'Why does the male lead look so familiar?"

The editor-in-chief looked at the male character with some suspicion.'Is my husband's role model."

Daisy also makes no secret of the fact that she takes Atlas as her main male role model.

The editor-in-chief was extremely surprised but couldn't help but praise: "This model fits the description and personality of the character in the story. I admire you very much, but does your husband know?"

'He doesn't care."

Daisy shook her head.
