Ding!The lift opened. Jane ignored Jason. When she walked out, Jason grabbed her arm. “No, Jane. You can’t go down now. Y-You have to find somewhere to hide.”“Mr. Dunn, please let go. I have some business I need to take care of.”“No, Jane. They’ll see you if you go down now. Brendan and his gang are gathering here today.” Jason pulled Jane into the lift. “Jane, you don’t want your childhood playmates to see you in this state, right?”Jane stopped breathing, and there was fear in her eyes.
“Jane, you’re not the only person who has been to jail. Why can other people provide for themselves by working hard while you have to stay here and entertain other people? Jane, you’ve become depraved.”Jane’s shoulders were shaking. She pinched the flesh on the outside of her thighs to stop herself from slapping Jason.She lifted her head to look at Jason. She had been calling this man as her big brother for the past 20 years. Those amazing memories together… Her brother’s love for, his prote
“Hey, hey, have you heard? I just bumped into that Jane Dunn. She went around everywhere asking for work to do and said that she could do anything.”“That woman has gone completely nuts for money! Seriously, though, someone like her was never meant to be in the PR department. Why did the higher-ups put a piece of crap like her here? She’s bringing down the average quality of our team.”“She hasn’t had any work for a month now, right? I bet she’s crazy desperate, that’s why she asked everybody
Jane kept her head down with all of her might.“Heh! This girl’s a shy one. Won’t you let me look at you?” Brendan immediately grew naughty. “Well, today, your great Master Hoffman insists.”Next to them, Alora said, “Don’t be afraid, Jane Dunn. Master Hoffman is just teasing you. He’s actually a pretty nice guy.”Brendan’s finger paused on Jane’s chin. He looked at the woman with her head pressed down suspiciously, but at the same time he asked Alora, “What… did you just call her?”Startled
Jane looked at the check on the table, but she did not move.Brendan sneered coldly. “What’s the matter? Don’t wanna do it?”“Leave her be, Master Hoffman. After all, she’s the proudest pearl of S City, isn’t she?” The other people who came here with Brendan tried to advise him, but their advice was clearly insincere. They sounded more like taunts.“Proud?” Brendan laughed and lit a cigarette, taking a dreg as he gave Jane a sideways look. “With the horrendous state she’s in now?”Alora was
“There’s no need to kneel and all that. It’s so cliche and unseemly! For our boss’ sake, Master Hoffman, please let her go today,” Alora tried to convince him gently.Smack! Brendan swirled around and slapped Alora across the face, shrieking, “Didn’t you hear me? I said you have no right to say anything!”Jane’s eyes reddened. “Brendan! This has nothing to do with Alora! What right do you have to hit her?!”“Hey, Jane, do you really think you’re still the mighty Jane Dunn you used to be? Do
On the couch, Alan was making a call. He said something into the phone and then called out to Jane, “Hey, Jane Dunn, guess who I was calling just now?” Alan sniggered, his eyes sparkling as he said, “It was your brother. Do you know what he said? He said there isn’t anyone called Jane in his family. Haha, Jane, you’re so pitiful! You killed your own best friend, and to what end? Rosaline must have been the unluckiest girl in the world to become friends with you!”As Alan said that, fury flashed
There was a sheen of cold sweat on her forehead, and the clothes on her back were drenched.She raised her head and looked at Brendan.“Crawl on over here.”“Do it!”“Go on, do it!”The voices in the room yelled, “Crawl! Crawl! Crawl!” in a chorus that flooded Jane’s ears.Alora tried to shout, “Don’t, Jane!” but those men clapped their hands over her mouth.“Crawl! Crawl! Crawl! Just crawl!”Their cries of schadenfreude and eyes like hungry wolves made Jane’s back straighten up even mor
