Chapter 134 Good News Is Near
When Noah said this, his tone was full of contempt, and his expression was extremely disgusted, as if Daisy were some kind of homewrecker.
Hearing Noah's words, Daisy's face darkened even more, and she had no patience left for him. "Noah, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever you want. What do you mean by 'stop staring at other people's husbands and daughters'? Who am I staring at? You're pinning this on me for no reason—do you think I'm too nice or something?"
Daisy really couldn't be pleasant with someone who accused her of things out of nowhere. This Noah must have something wrong with his head!
Just as Noah was about to say something else, a male voice suddenly came from the side. "Daisy."
Both Daisy and Noah looked toward the source of the voice at the same time. It was Felix!
Felix walked over with a smile on his face. He acted as if he didn't see Noah at all, his eyes fixed directly on Daisy, full of admiration.
"Daisy, your presentation today was really wonderful. Your introduction was excellent."
Hearing Felix's praise, Daisy's lips curved slightly. "When did you get here?"
"I've been here the whole time, just that there were too many people and you didn't notice me."
Felix said casually.
Daisy smiled lightly at his words. "I see."
Watching Daisy and Felix chatting so happily, Noah frowned even more tightly, becoming even more convinced that Daisy was a loose woman who seduced other people's husbands while also getting tangled up with Felix.
He had to make sure everyone saw what kind of person Daisy really was.
"Mr. Connor, you should really keep Ms. Hart in check and not let her string you along while also seducing married men."
Noah dropped this line and, without caring about Felix and Daisy's reactions, walked away directly.
Felix looked at Daisy somewhat confused. "What's going on?"
After speaking, Felix pointed to his head. "His brain? Could there be something wrong with it?"
Daisy had been quite speechless because of Noah, but hearing Felix's words, she couldn't help but laugh.
"The way you put it, I actually think there's nothing wrong with what you said."
Hearing this, Felix's lips curved, and a meaningful look flashed in his eyes. "No wonder."
"No wonder what?"
"No wonder his father gave the company to his second son who's worse than him in every way."
Felix hit the nail on the head.
Hearing this, Daisy's lips curved, and she actually couldn't find a single word to argue with.
Thinking about it that way, it seemed to be true.
"I can't figure him out. I wonder if someone told him something?"
It wasn't that Daisy was being sensitive, but she always felt that someone was stirring up trouble behind the scenes. Otherwise, Noah wouldn't have this attitude every time and say those things so confidently.
Hearing this, Felix's eyes deepened. "Who's the married man around you?"
Daisy paused at his words and thought about Felix's question. If she had to say who the married man around her was, it would probably be Vincent, right?
And he was a married man who was about to get divorced, at that.
Wait.
Vincent?!
Could it be...
Daisy immediately had a guess in her mind.
Seeing Daisy's expression, Felix raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but ask.
"Did you think of something?"
But Daisy just shook her head. "No, I'll have someone look into what's going on. Let's go, let's head to the venue."
Seeing that they had indeed stayed here for quite a while, Felix nodded lightly and left with Daisy.
......
Inside the venue.
Some business partners were all trying to chat with Vincent and Ethan.
After all, they didn't usually have such opportunities to talk to the CEOs of these two companies. If it weren't for today's occasion...
Vanessa, as one of Black Group's representatives, and with her intention to show off her status on such occasions, had been staying by Vincent's side the whole time, looking gentle and virtuous.
Some business partners, seeing Vanessa and Vincent together, couldn't help but tease them with gossip.
"Are Mr. Black and Miss Drake about to have good news soon?"
Hearing this, Vanessa immediately put on a shy look. She didn't answer but instead looked at Vincent.
"You'd have to ask Vince..."
Vanessa's shy appearance was basically confirming what they said.
"Mr. Black, is that right?"
A relatively familiar business partner asked Vincent again.
Vincent happened to turn his head at this moment. Seeing Vanessa's somewhat shy appearance, his eyes deepened, a dark gleam flashing in them, and he said lightly, "End of next year."
Vincent's simple few words immediately made his meaning clear and confirmed the speculation about his and Vanessa's so-called upcoming good news.
Hearing Vincent's words, several business partners all offered their congratulations.
"Then congratulations to Mr. Black."
"We'll have to get a drink at the wedding."
"Yes, yes..."
Everyone's congratulations made Vanessa happy all at once.
At this moment, a big part of her happiness came from Vincent's acknowledgment, because his acknowledgment was equivalent to announcing her status in public.
This way, what was there to fear from that Daisy?
Hearing everyone's congratulations, Vincent wasn't very happy. In his view, he had just stated something that was within his plans.
As for being happy.
He actually didn't feel any happiness, but rather felt somewhat... disappointed...
As for where this so-called disappointment came from, he actually didn't know and didn't want to think deeply about it.
After all, given his current situation, he himself couldn't say what he was thinking.
"Mr. Black, do you have time now? Mr. Reed has something he wants to discuss with you."
Lost in thought, his assistant walked over and spoke to Vincent.
Vincent happened to not want to continue this topic anyway, so he nodded.
Vincent told those business partners that Ethan was looking for him about something and asked Vanessa to stay and continue talking with the business partners.
After giving these instructions, Vincent left with his assistant. His movements were so quick, as if he was afraid someone would catch up from behind.
When Noah came out from backstage, he saw Vanessa chatting happily with several business partners.
As he approached, he heard someone talking about Daisy.
Not only did Vanessa not put Daisy down, but she actually spoke up for Daisy, showing no resentment at all about having her family broken up by Daisy.
Seeing Vanessa like this, Noah became even more convinced that Daisy didn't know what was good for her.
She just had to break up other people's families instead of behaving properly. What good was it for such a person to have ability when her character was so terrible!
Thinking this, Noah's dislike for Daisy grew even stronger.
What Noah didn't know was that those people who supposedly spoke badly of Daisy were actually prepared by Vanessa in advance.
She deliberately had people say bad things about Daisy, and then she spoke up for Daisy. This way, didn't it make her look generous? It also reinforced her image in Noah's mind—that of a pitiful woman who had been wronged and had her husband and daughter stolen from her.
