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
Jane had a wish. She hoped she could influence the decision of the Dunns with her presence. At least they would consider her suggestion and cancel the auction today.However, the reality was often different from expectations. This also exposed the cruelness of the Dunns underneath their facade.Not far away, Joseph was making some polite but meaningless speech before going into the topic.“So, the Dunns have decided to allow Storge Trust to grow stronger and display its biggest value in the hands of another capable person. We came to this decision as a family.“Now, I hereby declare that Storge Trust is officially up for auction. The starting price is 80 million.”After she heard that, Jane was shocked. “Impossible! Storge Trust’s account back then was at 8 million! After proper calculations, the entire Storge Trust should now be worth a lot more! How can they set the starting price at 80 million?”She was shocked!On one side, Sean’s expression remained unchanged. He was not su
A group of people started to clamor after hearing what Jane said.“Nonsense! The old master is my biological father. When have I, Joseph Dunn, humiliate him?” Joseph was furious.“Have you not? You know very well that the one thing the old master cared about the most is Storge Trust, and you’ve sold it to someone else. Do you think he’ll be happy with this?“You’re humiliating him!“80 million! 80 million! Joseph Dunn, have you not seen money before? You’re selling the Storge Trust that Gran
"Your grandfather loved your grandmother like a man possessed."By the time I finished hearing out my grandparents' story, I fell silent. I no longer blamed my grandfather for not knowing his heart, and I no longer blamed Grandma for being uncertain. It was just as Grandma Alora said. It was only because one of the two of them stopped obsessing and took a step back that they ended up living happily ever after. I could not help but wonder. What if Grandma simply refused to turn back at the e
Even then, I found it unbelievable. I ran to my dad's room and immediately asked, "Is Grandpa a pervert? I saw him hugging Grandma's foot just now. Does he have a foot fetish?""Your grandfather is warming your grandmother's feet. Your grandmother's body isn't in its best shape, and her hands and feet are always ice-cold. Your grandfather can't bear to see her like that. Just pretend you didn't see anything, and never mention it to him.""But why?""Because your grandfather will make you writ
My name was Luka Stewart. It was a weird name, right? Like ‘look! A stew.’My grandfather gave me my name. All my many years of experience as a kid told me that my grandfather was not a good guy.All else aside, just look at the name he gave me. He had a perfectly nice name himself, but he had to give me such a weird one.However, every time I protested about it to him, he always said that it was my dad's fault. If Dad had been a girl, that would have been his name instead. See, Grandpa was
On the twentieth day after the surgeryHe saw the person he had his heart set on.“Elior said you were at your wedding on the day I woke up.” He fell quiet again after his initial excitement. It felt as though there was a thorn in his heart. He wanted to pull the thorn out, but it hurt just to touch it.“Is Michael Luther… good to you?”“Yeah, pretty much.”There was pain in his eyes and he hurriedly lowered them, putting on a gracious act.“Congratulations. From now on, you’ll finally be
“Not too long ago, I woke up one morning and realized that I was trapped behind bars again. He had installed metal grilles over all the windows in the room.“In my eyes, those bars were no different from the ones in prison six years ago.“He tried everything to imprison me. He only finally let go when he’s sick and dying.“He said something about getting tired of this game and getting bored of me. I believed him.“He’s dying, so he lets go.“Is that supposed to show how generous and loving
“See? Master White agrees. Move aside and don’t stop me, the boss is in a lot of danger right now!” Dos’ expression was vicious. “I need to stop…”Halfway through his sentence, the three people outside heard some mortifying noises coming from inside the room.They were all experienced in the ways of life, so no matter how slow they might be, they still understood what those noises meant.Dos’ face instantly turned completely red.“Go on, kick the door down. Your boss is in danger,” Alora tea
After the second apple, there was the third... By the time he reached the fifth, he looked at the apple in his hand with a troubled expression. No matter how much he liked fruit, he still could not eat so many at once. Besides, he never liked apples to begin with.“Eat some more, or you won’t have the strength,” she said calmly. He was completely stumped. The strength? The strength for what?The wheels in his brain were still turning as he tried to process her words when the woman by his bed
At the hospital, the ward door opened without a sound. This time, Dos did not report the arrival in advance.When Elior arrived in a hurry, he immediately saw that woman.Before he said anything, Alora pulled him back out into the corridor. The door opened and closed again.The man on the bed lay on his side, fast asleep.No one knew what he was dreaming about, but the deep frown on his face showed that he did not have pleasant dreams.His hand rested on the covers, his wedding ring still a
"Don't worry, this time Sean Stewart won't disturb you again. He never will anymore. "Go and do what you do best, Jane Dunn. Run away!"With those words, Alora turned and left.She did not know what she was mad about. Perhaps she was not mad at all, just a little sorry about the whole state of affairs.It was almost as though she was the one who was not getting her happy ending. In her eyes, one of them had done wrong in the past and was now filled with regret, determined to turn over a n
