Chapter 255 Who Do You Think I Am Doing This For
"No."
Replied Zack in a low voice.
Hearing this, Daryl's face darkened. "Do you want me to swallow all the grievances?"
"Idiot, at the centennial banquet tomorrow, Rylee won't be so stupid as to ridicule you openly!"
Zack glanced at her and said, "All the members of the Ji family follow a rule. No matter how incompatible they are in the family, they can't be openly hostile to their own family outside." "Oh, I see!"
Daryl nodded. But she quickly glanced at him and asked, "But last time you openly took away your father's business. What was that about?"
"Hey, don't keep silent. Are you breaking the rules of the Ji family by doing that?"
Daryl was amused by his silence.
To her surprise, Zack suddenly turned to look at her. He narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "Then, who do you think I'm doing this for?"
Daryl was shocked by his sudden question. She was stunned for a few seconds before she realized what he meant. "Bennie? Forget it. I don't want to talk about this with you."
As soon as Daryl finished her words, she turned around to avoid his cold eyes. She even reached out to touch her ears to hide her guilty conscience.
Zack didn't want to continue because there were too many people here.
Benjamin and Westley two little fellows gathered together and closely watched what was happening here.
"Bennie, why do your parents look so polite with each other?"
With a lollipop in his mouth, Westley said while licking it, "My mommy always boss my daddy around at home. My mommy is very domineering!"
Benjamin said calmly, "My daddy didn't dare to offend my Mommy when she became a tigress."
"Oh, really? How could a beautiful woman like her become so fierce?"
Westley said in disbelief with his eyes wide open.
"Haven't you heard that the more beautiful a girl is, the more violent she is?" Benjamin said calmly.
"I haven't heard of it. No wonder my mommy is so fierce. It's because she is good-looking!"
"Yes."
The two little guys analyzed each other.
Not long after, it was dinner time. Both of Rickey and Anders were sitting at the main seats of the table. Daryl sat next to Zack and Benjamin. Her seat was relatively close to the two elders. Ronan was also at the table.
Daryl looked in the direction of Ronan, but she didn't expect him to look at her too. He even greeted her politely with a smile.
Daryl replied with a polite smile.
Seeing this, Zack frowned and warned her in a low voice, "Daryl, don't look around during dinner."
"I'm not looking around."
Daryl looked at him in disbelief. "You are making trouble for me on purpose, aren't you?"
"Ronan is sitting so far away. Why did you look at him?" Zack said in a cold voice, "Weren't you looking around?"
"You!"
Daryl glared at him and then became angry. This guy was simply unreasonable!
She just greeted Ronan politely. How could Zack be so domineering and unreasonable?
During the dinner, Daryl had been eating silently. She didn't have any interaction with Zack. They looked like strangers to others.
"I think they seem to be in a cold fight."
Westley, who was sitting next to Rylee, whispered while eating.
Of course, Benjamin also noticed that something was wrong between his parents.
But what could the little boy do? He finally understood that his mommy was always capable of making his daddy, who had never shown his emotions on the surface, so angry that he could not say anything!
After dinner, the elders went to the main house for a walk. They only brought Zack and his family, and the rest of the juniors almost went back to their own houses respectively.
"The decoration of our house hasn't changed after so many years."
After hanging around in the main house, Anders began to chat with Rickey.
Rickey nodded and said, "Yes, you are right. You brought all the decorations in the main house back from outside. Father and others like them very much."
After listening to the conversation
between the two elders, Daryl couldn't help but think, 'The
decorations here are all taken back by Anders. Does it mean that they directly buy the whole D City with so much valuable things at home?'
Besides, she remembered that the first time when she was brought back to the Ji family's old house, Julio had told her that she couldn't easily enter the main house.
If all the things in the main house were placed in an ordinary wealthy clan, they would be directly protected and offered up!
Then Rickey called Zack over. Daryl didn't know what they were talking about, but pulled Benjamin to sit quietly.
"Bennie, our movie will be on the theater soon. Shall we watch it together then?"
"Okay, Mommy."
Benjamin nodded obediently. "By the way, when will Luca come tomorrow? Did he tell you?"
Daryl whispered to the little boy when she thought of Luca.
"No."
The little boy shook his head, "Luca didn't tell me the specific time."
"Okay."
The mother and son whispered for a while, and then Zack came back.
"Let's go back to have a rest."
Said Zack in a low voice. Then he took the mother and son back to the villa to have a rest.
But when Daryl went back, she didn't feel sleepy at all. She wanted to go out and walk around the balcony, but she ran into Zack who was also awake outside.
Daryl and Zack were chatting. The
two seemed to have moved on the
previous quarrel, but Daryl didn't
notice that her phone, which she had
forgotten in the bedroom, kept ringing. The caller ID was a strange number.
When Daryl came back to rest, she saw tell strange call. She was confused, but she didn't take it seriously.
She was perturb that it might be Leon again who had change his phone number to harass her, so she didn't care about it for the time being.
The next morning, Daryl was awakened by a knock on the door.
Because she would attend the
banquet with Zack, so she had to get
prepared earlier than usual. Early in the morning, a group of people
came to do make-up for her.
Because the banquet was grand, it
took a lot of time to do the make-up.
Daryl sat in the villa from early morning to noon. She didn't eat anything, so she was very hungry.
"Mommy, you are so pitiful."
After hanging around outside, Benjamin came back with Westley. The two kids both wore formal black suits, one on the left and the other on the right, looking at Daryl with their chin on their hands.
