The kitchen quickly prepared breakfast.
Because all ten of her fingers were heavily injured, Daisy ate at the speed of a crippled snail.
Having a terrifying predator like Benjamin Bright staring her down from across the table completely killed her appetite.
When she dropped her fork for the fourth time, Benjamin sighed. "Do I need to get someone to feed you?"
The mere thought of being spoon-fed in this house sent a chill down her spine.
"No, no, that's really not necessary! I'm just struggling to adapt to the bandages."
Watching her fumble with her thick, gauze-wrapped hands, Benjamin was suddenly curious.
"Does it hurt?"
Picking up her fork for the fifth time, Daisy awkwardly shoveled some food into her mouth.
"Not really."
The painkillers Maeve had provided were incredibly potent.
Benjamin narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. "How did you end up crossing paths with that psycho from the Grover family?"
Even now, Daisy had no idea why she had been targeted.
"I don't even know anyone named Grover."
Benjamin connected the dots instantly.
"No wonder Maeve said you got dragged into this because of her. Those scumbags only know how to prey on the weak."
He shot her a look of mild pity.
"Tough luck. You caught a stray bullet."
He immediately followed it up with a threat.
"Even if you are collateral damage, if you dare harbor even an ounce of resentment toward Maeve for this, I'll destroy you myself."
Daisy actually rolled her eyes at him.
"With your heart condition, you really should practice some inner peace. Threatening to murder people all the time is bad for your health."
Benjamin frowned.
Both were titans of industry, and the event drew a massive media presence.
Naturally, Nancy stepped right into the spotlight.
Securing an interview with the Goddess of Aethelburg had the reporters trembling with excitement.
"Truly the most captivating woman in Aethelburg! Miss Grover, you are even more stunning in person."
It wasn't empty flattery. Nancy truly had the looks to back it up.
The Grover family possessed exceptional genetics, a fact well-known across elite circles.
Everyone with Grover blood was strikingly attractive.
The reporter's fawning continued.
"If it weren't for Mr. Warren and Miss Moreno's wedding, we media folks would never get the chance to be in the same room as you."
"May I ask a personal question?"
"You vanished from the public eye for over a year. Were you studying abroad?"
