Jane raised her head slightly. Her lips moved as she simply said two words, “It’s fun.”“Fun?” Sean was so mad that he was about to explode!“Fun? Do you even know how dangerous that was back there? You could fall if you weren’t careful enough! And you’re saying that it’s fun? Do you think it’s alright to joke about things like that?“Do you think something like this is supposed to be fun?!”“It’s fun.” She was still saying the same thing.“You!” The man was so angry that even his internal
“Michael Luther!” the old butler lowered his voice and bellowed. “I’m sure you don’t want Mr. Stewart to learn about that incident too, do you?!”The old butler’s dull eyes clearly showed his age, yet in contradiction to other elderlies of his age, his eyes carried a fierce and sinister look.The person on the other end of the call fell silent for a moment. The old butler’s tightly-furrowed brows loosened up slightly… ‘Glad that you’re scared.’“Old Man Summers, has anyone told you that...” O
Second of all, there were several parties competing against each other back then. Negligence could cost him everything. Sean had put all his mind and thoughts into that rivalry with no time, energy, and manpower left to investigate this incident. When Sean achieved victory, it was less likely that he would remember the fact that Jane was still in prison. Besides, there was indisputable evidence that Jane was the one who killed Rosaline Summers. Sean had been infatuated with Rosaline Summers back
“Boss, I let you down.” Dos looked extremely guilty in the dark study.Sean wore no expression. “You couldn’t find anything?”Dos lowered his head even further, his heart filled with shame. “I couldn’t carry out the task you assigned to me, Boss. It’s all my fault for being incapable. I’m sure Uno would have found something if he were in my place.”His boss had asked him to secretly investigate what happened three years ago. Since three years had passed, it was not an easy task, but still! He had spent so long on this case, yet he could not find anything useful at all.No matter where he looked, all the evidence he found only made things look worse for Miss Dunn.Nevertheless… Dos was unlike Uno. Uno was certain in his heart that Miss Dunn was guilty, but from the very beginning, Dos never really believed that Miss Dunn would be that sort of person.That was why Dos was quite glad when he found out the boss wanted to investigate what happened back then.Just like Uno and the oth
“No, the Old Master would have no reason to…”“I was careless,” said the man quietly as he looked out of the window. Dos’ body gave a shudder, and his shoulders clearly fell… The boss was now certain that the Old Master was behind it.“Please reconsider, boss. There must be something we’re missing here. Please give me another month, I’ll definitely find a way to dig up more clues!” Dos abruptly fell to his knees and said with determination. He owed the Stewarts a great debt. If the results of his investigation failed to clear Miss Dunn’s name and instead caused an internal conflict amongst the Stewarts, he would never be able to live it down!When Sean heard that, he turned around calmly and looked at Dos, who was prostrating himself on the floor. He read Dos’ concerns in an instant and chuckled.“I asked you to secretly investigate what happened, but looking back on it now, do you really think no one knows about this, Dos?”Sean tapped the file on his desk with a finger, his eyes
“Someone will come to help you with your clothes and make-up half an hour from now.”With those words, he soundlessly closed the door.Jane looked at the closed door, clenching her hands into tight fists… How did they get to this point?!After all that happened, how could he stay so calm?Why did he trap her in this extravagant manor?!Now, Alora was her only way of communicating with the outside world. She sat in front of the window, staring. From here, she could see most of the estate.
“S-Sir…?” The old butler was the first to notice Sean Stewart. Despite his age, his venomous gaze immediately found the figure in Sean’s arms. His aged eyes flickered, and the emotion was gone in a flash.“Hm,” Sean responded mildly to his greeting, walking into the room.Without his express orders, no one would foolishly run into the room. Of course, they would not be bold enough to just turn and leave either.All of them just waited at the bedroom door. The door was wide open now, but they
Instead of the humiliation she had been expecting, all she received was that man’s low voice reprimanding her in her ear.“Don’t let me see you running around in such a hurry again.”As Sean said that, he put down her foot. If this woman just knew how to treasure her body a bit more, he would not have to intimidate her like this.He glanced at her feet coldly. “Where are your shoes?”“...?” Shoes?What shoes?Jane followed his gaze as well and finally realized. She had gotten up and run of
"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
