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
“Do you still remember how you forced Rosaline to down an entire bottle of whiskey back then? Jane, Little Miss Jane Dunn, did you ever think you’d find yourself in this position today?”Jane stared blankly at Alan, whose face was hard with hatred. Meanwhile, her eyes looked mystified. “Me? Force Rosaline? To drink a bottle of whiskey?”Every single phrase was a question to her. She would never deign to force someone like that, and she would never do something so despicable to Rosaline like fo
Why else would she keep thinking about the past even though she had long since noticed Rosaline’s ‘impurity’? For three years, she kept scouring her memories for proof of Rosaline’s ‘innocence’, all so she could refute the suspicions she knew deep inside her heart.“You’re smiling, Jane. You’re smiling. Why are you smiling? Are you smiling because Rosaline is dead and your evil plans worked? Jane, you’re shameless! Why are you smiling?! You aren’t allowed to smile!” Alan was ticked off by the s
Jane’s shoulders shook…“Who do you think I have on my friends list? You know all of them, Jane.”Her heart contracted in her chest!“Mm, mgh…” Alora struggled against her gag, her eyes widening… No, no! Jane could not be allowed to drink!Alora watched as the kneeling woman slowly raised her hand and slowly took the bottle of whiskey from Alan. She heard that woman say in her raspy voice, “I’ll drink.”“Mmgh!” No, no! Alora’s eyes widened and she tried desperately to move toward Jane, but
Some cheered. “Drink, drink!”Others jeered. “Do you not like the drink, Miss Dunn? Alan, you should have given my lady better wine.”They were just joining in on the party now.Did Jane really do anything to earn their hatred?No, most of these people were just here for the show.Bam!There was a loud thud from the door. Everyone instinctively looked toward the door and saw the tall slender body standing there, his back against the light.Sean’s eyes disregarded everyone else in the room
