NovelBarChapter 1064 Jolie was placed under house arrest and confined to her room. Meals were delivered by the housemaids three times a day, and she wasn't allowed to step out, not even once. Yet, she didn't resist. It was as if she'd completely given up.
Her days were spent in an endless cycle of eating and sleeping, embracing her apathy.
A month passed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOne day, a maid entered the room holding a pregnancy test kit.
Jolie was curled up on the sofa playing a video game. When she saw it, her brows instantly furrowed. "What's this for?" The maid kept her head down, her tone cautious. "Miss Jolie, Madam Daisy instructsto give this to you." Jolie tightened her grip on her phone, her lips curving into a mocking smile. "No need for that. Go back and tell her nothing happened betweenand Gavin Cooper. I won't be pregnant." The maid nodded quickly. "Yes, Miss Jolie." But not long after, Daisy arrived herself.
Her gaze swept over Jolie's unkempt appearance, her expression hardening with a cold edge. "You two got together for so long. How could nothing have happened?" Jolie didn't even look at her. "I will never have anything to do with Gavin Cooper, and what you're hoping for will never happen." Daisy's expression darkened further. After a long silence, she said, "It's been a month. Don't you realize your mistake yet?" "I don't," Jolie replied flatly.
Daisy was furious, her voice trembling as she said, "Sending you to reconnect with Selena was a mistake. She's completely led you astray!" Jolie let out a cold laugh. "So, all your guilt was fake? In your eyes, my sister has always been bad, hasn't she? All that sadness and regret you displayed was just an act, wasn't it?" She put down her phone and looked directly at Daisy. "You're terrifying." However, Daisy regained her composure, a calmness settling over her features. She knew all too well that no matter how cold and defiant Jolie acted, she wouldn't dare cross any lines or truly rebel. Jolie knew all too well that everything she had now was because of the Quin family. To rebel against them would mean losing everything she currently possessed.
Daisy spoke with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "I'm no longer upset about what happened before. After all, you've always been such an obedient child. The Quin family has poured so much effort into raising you. You wouldn't do anything to betray us, would you?" The words hit Jolie straight in the heart.
Her mocking smile faded, the cold defiance in her eyes dimming. Her expression slowly becblank, drained of all emotion. Daisy's lips curved in satisfaction. She walked over and gently brushed Jolie's hair back from her face, her tone softening.
"I won't force you to have any contact with Gavin Cooper. The gap between the Quin family and the Cooper family is too great. If he's only toying with you, we'd be the ones who suffer the loss." Jolie wanted to turn her head away, to avoid Daisy's touch, but she gripped her hands tightly and forced herself to suppress the impulse.
Daisy continued, "Get yourself together. The project in the South City commercial district has been secured, and the Lowe family has been kicked out of the deal. Tomorrow night, I'm hosting a banquet. Many of Larbor City's elite families have been invited. Prepare yourself and pull yourself together. You'll accompanyto the event." Jolie didn't respond.

After a long pause, she nodded. "I understand." "That's my good girl."
Daisy smiled again, her tone light. "Fix yourself up, get a full treatment, and make sure you're perfect tomorrow night. I want to see the very best version of you." With that, she turned and left the room. Silence enveloped the space once more.
