I already did three years in jail and paid the price for what I did. Give me my bank card, sir, and I’ll disappear right away. I’ll go far, far away, and I swear that you’ll never see me again.”

    Jane turned around to look at Alora, giving her a tragic smile. It was only then that Alora saw the bloody teeth marks on Jane’s pale lips. “A-Are you alright?” Alora asked.“I’m fine.” Jane stood up, her body swaying. Alora could not bear to see her that way, so she was about to help Jane when Jane steadied her footing, giving Alora a pale but grateful smile. “Thank you, Alora.”“Are... you sure you’re fine?” Alora could see that Jane could barely stand straight, so it was really hard for her

He just radiated youthful arrogance.Right now, he was sprawled over the couch, but when he saw Jane enter the room, he suddenly leaned forward, the necklace swaying in the air with him. The boy pointed at himself and gave Jane a smile, saying, “C’mon, clownie, smile one for me. Over here, yeah!

    “I…” Jane opened her mouth to decline instinctively. In that darkness, Sean’s lips curved… He knew it, he knew that the proud Miss Dunn would not be able to give up her dignity and take this insult lying down.“I get to keep all this money if I pick it up within a minute, you say? And you’ll give me another fifty thousand too, right?”Jane could not continue what she wanted to say after that initial “I”. The scene before her eyes returned to that dark prison and to that silly girl, the only one who showed her any kindness. That dream she saw as she lay dying… All the thoughts ran through Jane’s head, and she forcefully changed her mind. Her pride? Did she have anything like that?Right now, Jane Dunn had nothing.

When she saw who it was behind her, her pretty face immediately turned unnatural. “N-Nothing, I’m not looking at anything…”Luna was the hostess in charge of Room 606. However, the young ma

I keep my word.” As he said that, he stood in front of Jane and barked down at her from above. “I said I’m giving you whiskey, so why aren’t you raising your head?”Ja
