I Was A Cold‑Blooded Gold Digger, But I Pretended To Bow Out Gracefully Chapter 03

But the next second he said, “Daisy needs to rest at home for a few days. You can take care of her.”

A trace of smugness crossed Daisy’s face. “Sienna, I’ll be counting on you.”

I didn’t answer. I reached out toward her.

Daisy tensed up. Even Felix thought I was about to hit her and moved to stop me.

But I only lightly touched the diamond studs on her ear.

“These earrings cost over a hundred thousand dollars. They’re the most expensive pair on my vanity.”

“Ms. Moore, nice taste.”

If you’re going to play innocent, remember to hide your tail.

Daisy’s smile froze, and her face went pale.

Felix frowned too, looking at Daisy with the first trace of doubt.

“I’m sorry, Sienna. I just grabbed them without thinking…”

I didn’t give her a chance to explain. I quickly cleared out everything in the master bedroom that belonged to me.

“The master bedroom is yours now. Fresh sheets and covers.”

I glanced at her hands.

“Your hands are clean and soft. I doubt you know how to do these things.”

Felix didn’t speak. His fingers tapped the table, the way he did when he was thinking.

Apart from me, he had never known what a truly poor person looked like.

Now, maybe too late, it was dawning on him that a sweet, stubborn girl from poverty

couldn’t have hands completely free of calluses.

He used to rub my calluses with a look of disgust.

“Sienna, your hands are rougher than my grandmother’s.”

But he was also the one who had luxury hand creams delivered to me on schedule.

Felix suddenly spoke. “I’ll buy this apartment from you at twice the market price. The money will be sent right away.”

“Sienna, don’t make a scene.”

I counted the zeros on the transfer and smiled.

But the satisfaction inside me was thin.

After I packed, I went into the kitchen to make hangover soup.

I heard the shower start, and when I turned around,

Daisy was standing behind me, her face dark.

“Sienna, do you think you’re so clever?”

Without changing my expression, I glanced at the hidden camera I’d installed in the corner of the kitchen and said nothing.

She was young. She didn’t understand that in our line of work, evidence was everything.

The day the apartment was transferred to my name, I had installed cameras with 360-degree coverage.

Seeing that I wouldn’t speak, Daisy’s provocation grew bolder.

“I know you drove away a lot of his women. But so what?”

“In the end, I’m the one who becomes Mrs. Sterling.”

“Sienna, don’t you hate me?”

I calmly turned off the stove. “Yes, I do.”

Daisy froze, clearly not expecting that answer.

I raised my voice slightly so the camera would catch it clearly.

“He doesn’t like sour. Add more honey to the hangover soup.”

“He likes the strawberry-flavored extra-thin ones. His favorite position is…”

Daisy’s face grew uglier with every word, while my tone stayed perfectly forlorn.

“Mrs. Sterling, from now on, please take good care of him.”

Sensing the shower had stopped, I poured the soup into a bowl and handed it to her.

At that moment, Daisy’s expression changed.

She reached out and grabbed me!

In the struggle, she deliberately fell backward, letting out a weak cry.

And the bowl of freshly made soup tipped over, splashing all over me!

Footsteps hurried closer. Felix walked into the kitchen, frowning.

My arm was scalded, the pain flaring at once.

At that moment, I suddenly wanted to know.

Five years of feelings, or a girl he’d known for less than two months?

Which one would he choose?

The next second, Felix scooped Daisy into his arms, his eyes full of concern.

When he looked at me, his eyes were cold and strange. “Sienna, have I been too indulgent with you all these years?”

“Is that why you’ve forgotten your place and started acting out?”

But Daisy hadn’t said a single word.

The scene I’d imagined, where I pulled out the evidence and exposed her lie, suddenly lost its strength.

Because she didn’t need to say anything.

Felix already believed her.

I suddenly felt ridiculous, and so I actually laughed, but tears slipped from the corners of my eyes without permission.

“Yes, I forgot my place.”

“I won’t anymore.”

Because in that moment, I suddenly didn’t want a future with him anymore.
