Jane's face paled. The way the secretary examined her in deep disbelief made her ashamed of herself. Such looks seemed to remind her over and over again about the harrowing torture she endured over the past three years. She wanted to live with dignity and self-love too, you know. She wanted to have her pride and self-respect in her life too…"Secretary Davis.” Jane wore a white and awkward smile. “It’s been a while.”Even that greeting sounded pale and empty.Secretary Davis could not belie
While Jane was still stupefied, Sean reached out his hand and rubbed her head. “Alright, I’ll go call for delivery.”Jane was still somewhat dazed when the food arrived… and she gave Sean, who was standing at the window, another careful glance— This was her first time seeing Sean Stewart compromise on anything.As they ate, Sean forced Jane to eat another half a bowl of rice.“Why aren’t you drinking the soup? Is it bad?”He had not seen her drink even a sip of the soup the entire time.Wit
Her family… They had not given in like cowards! They were after the grand prize that fell from her hands!“Jane Dunn, don’t you want to see what your Storge Trust has been reduced to today?” This woman had single-handedly built up that fund, and it was worth almost half of the Dunn family fortune!Back when Old Master Dunn was still alive, he was especially fond of his granddaughter. He even favored Jane over his grandson, Jason…No one knew why the old man was so fond of his granddaughter, J
After she got out of jail, this was the first time she heard the term ‘Storge Trust’ from other people. Jane had purposely ignored this fact after she got out. “The Storge Trust has nothing to do with me anymore. My dad and the other Dunns will take good care of it.”After all, the Storge Trust did not really belong to her. It was her grandfather’s. It would not make sense if the other Dunns did not give a care about it.The man in front of her chuckled. “Jane, if I didn’t witness the Storge
There were different accessories displayed on both sides of the shop. Even though there were not many accessories displayed there, each and every one of them appeared to be original.She exclaimed, “Which international master does this workshop belong to? Is this their side occupation?” Even if Sean could erase her identity and past after she was incarcerated, he could not erase the old master’s influence on her. Her eye for art and anything of the sort was something that had been taught to h
The car stopped in front of the Dunn household.There was already a sea of luxury cars parked on the side of the road.At this moment, Jane was standing in front of the iron gate. She did not move forward.“Are you scared?” The man’s voice said calmly, “If you’re scared, we can just go home.”“No!” She rejected his offer immediately. She took in a deep breath and was about to walk through the iron gate.“Are you going in like this?” the deep voice asked.Jane was curious. “What?”He reach
When they walked in, they became the center of attention.Sean naturally attracted gazes. Hence, there would not be a lack of attention on him.However, today, the guests’ gazes were glued on Jane.She had makeup on, so she looked like her old self from three years ago. Several people recognized her.“Is that… Jane?”“Why is she here?”“Shouldn’t you be asking why she is with Mr. Stewart?”“Isn’t she supposed to be in jail?”“How long ago was that? She got out of jail half a year ago, do
“Madam Dunn, where do you want me go to back to?” Different levels of pain hid in her heart. Jane looked dully at her biological mother who had given birth to her and raised her.There was an undetectable hint of embarrassment on Madam Dunn’s face. However, it went away in a flash. She grabbed Jane’s hand and pulled her toward the door of the Dunn household. “Jane, stop fooling around. I’m begging you. I can’t afford you fooling around during this important event. Go back, okay?”It was as if she had been struck by thunder. Jane’s shoulders trembled. It was as if her heart was being torn in two. She came back to her senses and looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her.Madam Dunn’s porcelain skin was perfect as she was taking good care of it with expensive skincare products. She only had slight laugh lines around her eyes when she smiled. She was wearing a gown that cost hundreds of thousands. The jewelry she was wearing was the limited edition collection of some luxury brand
