TimeNovelChapter 94: Chapter 94 Caught for Committing a Crime
Going to teach Edward Stephens a lesson?
Daisy Ginger paused for just a moment, then yawned and waved her hand at Zoe Hilker: "I'm going to sleep."
She didn’t take this matter too seriously, after all, she didn’t even know where the scoundrel Edward Stephens
was right now, and it was unlikely that Ethan Pond would find him before she did, right?
After showering, she lay in the guest room at Ethan Pond’s house; it was already past five by then.
Her nerves, which had been tense for too long, suddenly relaxed. Daisy Ginger closed her eyes, and in the warm
and soft bed, she fell asleep quickly.
She didn’t know how long she slept—perhaps only a short while—before she was woken by the phone placed
beside the bed.
Her sleep was restless, and upon waking, nerves were twitching on her forehead, and the sharp ringtone caused
a ringing in her ears.

Daisy Ginger irritatedly groped in the dark under the pillow to retrieve her phone and glanced at the caller ID.
It was Lady Stephens calling.
It’s not even six o'clock yet, why was Lady Stephens calling?
Daisy Ginger pinched her brow and lay on the bed, pressing the answer key with a hoarse voice: "Hello?"
"Ginger," Lady Stephens’ voice cthrough the phone, crying hysterically, instantly waking Daisy Ginger up.
"The detention center just called, Edward got himself arrested—"
Lady Stephens’ latter half of the sentence directly startled Daisy Ginger’s heartbeat into skipping a beat.
—Could it be that Edward Stephens didn’t show up today because he went to commit murder?
She soothed Lady Stephens, hung up the phone, and with a solemn face, sat up from the bed.

Zoe Hilker removed her makeup, applied a facial mask, and sat on the sofa, holding the remote control while
watching a late-night show.
Having opened a bar, her schedule had long since turned upside down. She was planning to rest a bit in Ethan
Pond’s room after watching the variety show, only to see Daisy Ginger already dressed and coming down from
upstairs.
She paused for a moment, instinctively said, "Are you off to work so early, Ginger?"
Daisy Ginger shook her head. She hadn't slept well, her complexion was poor, and even her bright red lips
seemed bloodless. Yet, her hair and eyes were still jet-black, her skin still so white; regardless of her changed
aura, she remained a beauty.
"Edward Stephens is currently in the detention center," Daisy Ginger said, "I'm going to check it out."
"He got arrested?" Zoe Hilker was also shocked, instinctively stood up, and then her phone rang. She picked it up
to answer, not knowing what was said inside, and her small egg-shaped face gradually took on a peculiar
expression.
"What's wrong?" Daisy Ginger looked at her expression, frowned, "Who called?"
"Ginger," Zoe Hilker seemed to be overwhelmed by the news inside, stammering, "Ethan, Ethan Pond is now..."
Daisy Ginger watched her expression and understood what hadn't been said in Zoe Hilker’s incredible
expression.

At six o'clock, the sky hadn't completely brightened.
Daisy Ginger lit a cigarette, rested one hand on the steering wheel, raised her hand and took a slow drag.
Zoe Hilker was somewhat sleepy, looking a bit listless, sat in the passenger seat watching her smoke, and said,
"Ginger, you still love smoking so much."
"It becomes easier to smoke more when in a bad mood." Daisy Ginger tapped the ash, glanced at her, wound
down the car window to let the cold wind blow away the pungent smell of smoke in the car, "If you're sleepy, go
ahead and sleep. I'll wake you when we arrive."
"Oh." Zoe Hilker responded, hugged the cushion in the car, buried her face in it and inhaled, "It has Ginger’'s
scent on it."
Daisy Ginger smiled, reached out to cover Zoe Hilker with a blanket, then looked ahead at the dim road, her face
sinking slightly.
