“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
Jane was silent as they did her make-up and hair.“Miss Dunn, please put on this dress.” That silence lasted until the stylist handed her a sleeveless white dress.Jane practically screamed her refusal. “No! I don’t like white!”“Calm down, Miss Dunn. You actually look really good in white. Have you ever tried a white dress? I believe that every girl should have a white dress in their wardrobe. Try it on! I guarantee you’ll like it.”“I won’t! I don’t want white! Didn’t you hear me?! I don’t
Ah. She remembered. How would it not hurt?If it did not hurt, why would she dedicate half of her life to it?If it did not hurt, which idiot would use half their life to gamble in this winning battle?The reward was just so that he would turn around and look at her.She used three years to force herself to learn about that person’s coldness and heartlessness. She forced herself to acknowledge the truth. She remembered now. She remembered everything.This was so cruel. Did she have to take back her opportunity to become a coward?She did her utmost to convince herself that if she did not care nor love anymore, she could escape from this loop. In the end, she could not escape from this loop even if she did not care nor love.It seemed like she still minded.It seemed like she would still feel pain. It seemed like the feeling of being infatuated with someone would be carved into her bones forever.She lifted her head to look at the ceiling for a very long time. At that moment,
She extended her left leg and let it hover above the steps. The old butler was standing under the staircase and staring at the woman at the top. Despite being shocked that this woman was not wearing white, who cared? As long as this woman was suffering, it would be fine.This woman must be in a terrible mood now. Was she going to jump down from there?Jump! Jump! Jump!That damn woman. She should have died a long time ago.Damn woman. If this woman had been the one to go through what Rosalin
