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
Her hands were hidden under her covers, clenching even more tightly into fists somewhere out of his line of sight!“Jane, do you think you can always stay this lucky? Do you think you can keep risking your life? Tell me, what would have happened to you if I hadn’t shown up in time?!”Those were the words that suddenly shattered all of Jane’s sanity!She looked up abruptly!Her expression bayed for blood!“Who wanted you to show up?! Who told you to show up?! Who ever asked you to show up?!”
Alora was extremely nervous as she faced Sean Stewart. “Mr. Stewart, I just felt bad for Jane.”She was explaining why she helped Jane hide all the money she had earned from the man before her now.Right now, Sean was not in a good mood at all.That woman’s final piercing words kept echoing in his ears, and he could not get rid of them no matter how hard he tried. When he heard Alora say something like she “felt bad for Jane”, his lips curved coldly.“Alora, none of my subordinates are saint
Actually, Alora would prefer to grab Jane by the shoulders and shake her violently, demanding, 'Why won't you cry?! Why won't you say anything?! Why must you pretend to be alright?!'Are you really okay? If you are, why are you howling to yourself when no one else is around? Why do I hear such heartbreaking frustration in your wails?!'Jane was the one in the most pain right now, but Alora was the one whose hand was shaking. Alora could almost see her past mirrored in Jane's silhouette… That
"When you said 'they'... Does that include Mr. Stewart?"When she said that, Alora could clearly feel Jane's body stiffen for a second in her embrace. Alora sighed soundlessly… Therein lay the problem. They did not believe her… and neither did Sean Stewart. With that, Alora could more or less guess what happened between Jane and their boss without any more input from Jane's part.Rosaline Summers… Alora had been working for Sean for two years, and she vaguely remembered hearing someone m
