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
A hand suddenly grabbed her chin and raised it forcefully, making her look up. His beautiful chiseled features were right in front of her eyes!Sean's frosty gaze was fixed intently on her face. "The hospital, or the bank? Jane Dunn, I'll give you a chance to decide."His face was so close to her that she could see the fuzz on his skin. There was determination and stubbornness in her eyes. "I want to go to the bank," she said, a word at a time, without any intention of bending to him."You're
“Your freedom, Jane. You’d best remember that. As long as I say you don’t have your freedom, you have no right to be free!”Alora was driving in the driver’s seat, but even her heart was trembling.What kind of a deathly grudge and hatred must he have for to torture her so?“Alora, speed up.” The man did not look at the woman next to him anymore. His well-defined fingers pulled out his phone and made a call. “We’ll be at the hospital soon. She had some alcohol.”“Who?”“Jane Dunn.”The per
In the hospitalElior settled Jane back in her bed.“You’re lucky.” He could not help but roll his eyes. “Don’t you know what state you’re in? How could you drink?”After he said that, he stood up and walked out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him. Outside the door, Sean was smoking.“Gimme one.” Elior stretched his hand out toward Sean. The latter took out his box of cigarettes and tossed the whole thing at Elior.Elior was not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. He lit a c
