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
“However, you were playful and didn’t like the heat. You could not sit still, so you ran back to the house to play video games while enjoying the cool air-conditioner.“I was scared that Grandpa would scold you, so I also copied your part after I was done with mine.“Master Dunn, the moment you stood up from that desk under the tree and ran into the house to play video games while enjoying the air-conditioner, you gave up on your chance.”Jane recalled the past. “However, Grandpa thought that
There was a faint blush on Jason’s cheeks. Not only did Jane’s words trigger him, but it also humiliated him in front of so many people. According to her, despite being taken under the old master’s wings and lectured personally by him, he also had what she had. However, people still thought of Jane first before even remembering him whenever they mentioned the Dunns.Joseph’s face was dark. He felt ashamed. His reputation had been ruined. His eyes were dim as he roared at Jane, “Enough! We don
When she asked that question, her voice was barely above a whisper. Her personality was like this question—serene and strange.The crowd could only see her calm exterior. They were unable to see through her skin and see that her soul was crying.Sean stood out in the crowd. The dazzling man’s breathing hitched. However, he did not stop nor criticize her.Joseph was startled as well. However, as a sly old fox in the business world, his reaction was quick. “The phone records and messages from t
“Boris Hoffman, what do you think?” The man’s black eyes turned to look at Old Master Hoffman. The old man’s shame had turned into anger. However, he needed to hide it.Everyone could tell that it was good that Old Master Hoffman did not get a stroke from Sean’s ability to anger people. Boris gripped his cane tightly and pushed it against the floor. He was trembling uncontrollably. In the end, he did not say anything.There was a hint of surprise in Jane’s eyes. She lifted her head to look at
Joseph was not the only one who did not understand this. At first, everyone thought that Sean had brought Jane home to humiliate her. However, they did not expect him to stand next to Jane when Brendan wanted to take action against her. When everyone thought he was standing up for Jane, they then heard her borrowing money from him. If he was really standing up for Jane and if there was entanglement between Sean and Jane, why would she borrow money from him?No one could understand what was goin
Sean had already taken Jane away. In a corner away from the crowded party in the Dunn household, Zach touched her chin while ruminating. His low voice uttered, “Jane Dunn?”Today, Jane had given him a whole new outlook on her. Zach’s eyes lit up as he became interested. He pursed his lips together. He felt free and unconstrained. He placed his hands into the pockets of his pants and left the Dunn household.“Guess who I saw today.” He called Haydn while he was walking to his car. “You won’t
“Ah.” That person was stunned for a while. In the next second, he smiled. “Oh, come look. Everyone, come look. Master Soros is being funny again today.”While he was saying that, he was interrupted by Haydn. “I just drank a few glasses and went out with you guys a few times. Now you’re calling me your brother?“I’m sorry, but my mom didn’t give birth to so many sons.“If you want to climb up the social ladder, you have to pay attention to my mood. When I’m in a good mood, I’ll drink with you,
"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
