Could Not Be Offended
“Ms. Sabrina, Mr. Jadeson has left for the military base. He mentioned that he’ll be back in a few days’
time. Should you feel bored at home, please feel free to visit Oceanic Estate,” a housemaid relayed the
message to her upon seeing that she was up.
Oceanic Estate again?
Sabrina was rather reluctant to do so. After all, she wished that it would not feel so lonesome at home
each time Devin left for work.
After getting up, she made her bed. Then, she carried her child in one arm, picked up her handbag with
another, put on her shades and headed out in her stilettos.
Half an hour later, she arrived at Moonlight Bar located in the city.
“Sabrina, you…”
Riley had been manning the bar through the night till dawn. Right when she was about to close it, an
upset woman showed up at the entrance with a child.
Sabrina removed her sunglasses and questioned, “What’s wrong? As the owner of the bar, am I not
welcome here?”
Riley answered, “I don’t have an opinion on that. However, it’s not exactly the best thing to do for you to
keep heading here with the child. Remember that one time when you were caught red handed by my
brother? He’s going to give me an earful if he finds out!”
Her brother was none other than Edmund.
Apparently, Sabrina could not bear idling around when she returned to Jadeborough. Hence, she
opened a bar.
Due to her lack of experience in this area, Sabrina engaged Edmund’s help, knowing that he had
always been involved in similar business back in Yorksland. From operating bars to casinos, he knew it
all.
Her original intention was to either sink or swim together.
“He should mind his own business. Open the door, would you? Let me see the sales from last night.
Oh, by the way, do you still have sufficient liquor? Anything to restock?” Sabrina insisted.
Just like that, she presented her demands, and there was hardly any room for discussion.
Annoyed, Riley acquiesced in her decision and ended up opening the door obediently for her.
Sabrina had a domineering aura by nature. Even though they were both heiresses of two wealthy
families, Sabrina had a stronger presence when compared to Riley.
Meanwhile, Edmund was actually going nuts about a series of data at work when he got the news.
Bang! As soon as he received the unpleasant updates, he flung his pen on the desk.
“Mr. Cooper, are you okay? Any problems with the data?” concerned, a colleague sitting beside him
raised his head and asked right away.
It was nothing new to see Edmund getting irritated ever since he was transferred to the Audit
Department a year ago. He had been often challenged by the complicated numbers and statistics
review.
Isn’t he an accounting graduate? Why would he get headaches when facing numbers?
Seeing that his veins were bulging, his colleagues decided to lend a hand.
Yet, Edmund shut his computer down.
“I need to get a breather. Call me if anything.” He left upon saying so, leaving his colleagues at a loss
for words.
That’s what we get when our status is different. Well, he’s the son of the former Senate Speaker,
Benedict Cooper. Although his father has passed on, people here still show him respect.
Edmund left his company for Moonlight Bar.
Upon arrival, he caught a child running out of the premises, ignoring her mother’s yelling from afar. The
little kid was dressed in a dungaree and a barret.
“Stand right there, Jaena Jadeson! Put that bottle down, you little rascal!”
The corner of Edmund’s eyes twitched when he saw what the munchkin was holding in her arms, an
important premium liquor which easily cost hundreds of thousands!
“Eh?”
Jaena lugged the wine bottle all the way to the entrance. When she realized that she was blocked by a
towering figure, she stopped and looked up.
“Daddy Cooper? Why are you here? You weren’t here just now, were you?” she asked naively while
blinking her bright eyes, which looked identical to her father’s.
The corner of Edmund’s eyes twitched even harder. Yet, his heart was totally melted by the sweet voice
calling him “Daddy Cooper”.
Bending down, he gazed at the little naughty girl. “Yup, I just came down from the sky. I saw that you’ve
angered your mom. Thus, I’m here to teach you a lesson.”
Hmm?
Gradually, she released her grip on the wine bottle.
“I didn’t upset Mommy. I wanted to put this in the car and then transport it to her.
“Car?” Edmund was baffled.
The little girl hurriedly pointed toward his back. “Yeah, look! That’s what Daddy bought for me. The new
car can carry many items. I think it can fetch you around too, Daddy Cooper.”
What? Man, that’s truly something else when you’re born with a silver spoon in your mouth. She’s only
three years old, but her toy car is so flashy. This probably costs tens of thousands!
In the end, Edmund felt obliged to fulfill the little munchkin’s request, which was to place the bottle in
the trunk of her new ride. Subsequently, he got into the car, and let the little dearie take him for a spin
around the bar.
