Chapter 391 - Another trouble? (1/2)

After the announcement, everyone went and greeted her. But of course, some unhappy and sour people couldn't help the underhanded comments, hoping to embarrass her.

”Miss Davi, welcome home. My friends and I were wondering why you have only come back now. We are very curious.”

”Yes, I'm also quite curious. Did something bad happen that forced you to come back?”

”Or did Miss Sanae told you to comeback since she doesn't have a face to comeback anymore, since she already cut ties to family so many years ago?”

”Yeah, I never heard about her for many years. I wonder what kind of life she's been living all these years. If only she hadn't left, she would be the CEO of Mizuhara corporation now, right?”

”That's right, she was a very intelligent woman after all. It's just too bad that she didn't use her brain for the better.”

”I agree. So yeah, Miss Davi, did your mother ask you to come back because she finally realized that she was nothing if she was not a part of this family? She might have realized that she didn't want you to have the life she suffered so she's returning you back, right?”

”You must have suffered a poor life, right? Poor young miss. You should have returned to us when you're little.”

As everyone spoke, Davi could feel their jealousy and sugar-coated malice. She had been around Hinari's relatives enough to know when people were being insincere so this kind of situation was not new to her. She also saw how Hinari dealt with situations like this. Her mantra was 'offense is the best defense' but at this moment, Davi didn't want to follow Hinari's example. Well, she wasn't here to speak with these kinds of people after all. She'd rather reserve the energy she would waste on these unnecessary characters for something even more important later. Besides, she hated face slapping people with words, action was a way better weapon.

Thus, like a lamb who didn't hear a thing, Davi simply smiled before them, shocking the women who were waiting for her to answer so that they could find something in her words that they could twist.

”Thank you for your sweet welcome. You are so caring. I am touched.” She said, surprising everyone before she excused herself with a smile, leaving the women speechless.

What the hell! She said she was touched with what we said?!! She's being sarcastic right?!

Just as the women gritted their teeth for failing to get the reaction they wanted from her, Davi smiled at them before she turned her back, leaving the useless characters who loved talking nonsense, without another word.

”Damn! She's so c.o.c.ky! Who does she think she is?!” one of the women blurted in anger when a young man spoke behind them.

”Well, somehow, the way she acted just now… she carries herself like a gracious queen, acting like a mighty eagle, not wasting her time dealing with the annoying little flies whose existence aren't necessary at all.” He said and the women's expressions turned from bad to worse. However, the young man who spoke was the number one candidate to be the new master so the women didn't dare talk back and were forced to shut their mouths.

At this moment, Davi saw her grandmother looking up the moon on the veranda with a wine in her hand.

She looked like she was in deep thought but there was a gentle smile on her face.
