“Witness?”“Yes, witness.”“If there was a witness present at the scene, why did I not know about it?”Jane’s words were sharp. This case was serious and a lot of details were intertwined. She needed to get to the bottom of it.“Sigh.” Madam Dunn sighed and looked at Jane. “You know this person. Her family did not want everyone to know that she had witnessed rape. It’s such a dirty crime.”Jane understood what Madam Dunn meant by that. If she knew this person, and if this person’s family di
“I told you to stop laughing! Did you hear me?”After she said that, there was no more sound.Madam Jane covered her mouth with her hands and her eyes met Jane’s. Madam Dunn’s eyes were glistening. “No… No… Jane, I just feel sorry for you.”Jane did not say anything. She looked at Madam Dunn silently.Her gaze was not sharp at all, however, Madam Dunn felt like she was being sliced by a thousand knives.“Jane…” Madam Dunn’s face turned pale.Jane stood up and straightened her back. Mr. Oak
Jane and Madam Dunn were ‘reminiscing about the past’ in the garden. Joseph did not miss this chance to talk to Sean as well.Stewart Industries had the resources and Joseph needed them urgently.Sean listened to Joseph’s flattering words. He knew exactly what Joseph wanted. If Joseph did not ask for things and beg him to help him with something when he came over, then something would be wrong. If this old man did not come with a purpose, then why was he here? If he really did not have a purpose, then it would be strange. He needed to think about this for a while. He took a sip of his whiskey and looked out the window. Even though he had to pay attention to Joseph, he would still take a look out of the window from time to time. Joseph looked over to where he was looking. He looked like he was contemplating something. He asked probingly, “Are you worried about Jane, Mr. Stewart?”When he heard that, Sean averted his gaze and looked at Joseph. He smiled courteously. Joseph was a
A few days after that incident happened, Jane and Sean talked about visiting the Dunn residence.“I need to go on a business trip these few days. I’ll go with you after I come back?”“I’ll just ask Alora to go with me. I’m going to get sick being locked up at home. I don’t have anywhere to go anyway. Since Mom and Dad… Mr. and Madam Dunn want to mend this…” She lowered her head and helped him pack his suitcase for tomorrow. She said slowly, “Anyway, Alora will be there with me. I’ll just go th
No one in the house had come to see her. A smile of mockery appeared on her lips. How would she believe the sweet nothings said by Joseph, the person she called her father?However, she had to admit weakly that it was because of the sentence ‘I was wrong’. She knew it was fake. However, she still cried and hoped with the bottom of her heart that it was sincere.She sighed. “Let’s go.”They went into the Dunn household. Madam Dunn grabbed Jane’s hand with great joy. She pulled her to a quiet c
Sean did not go on the business trip himself. He brought Elior along as well.Elior was the young master of the Whites. In order to practice medicine, he fought a lot with his father. Elior usually looked like a docile person, but when he was savage, his father would also have a headache.His father could not win against Elior, so he made a compromise. He told him when the Whites needed Elior, he needed to dedicate himself to the family without any complaints. This was the time for Elior to
“I don’t know.”At this moment, their food arrived. Elior looked at the man who started eating as if nothing happened with disbelief. They were met with such a serious problem this time, but Stewart still had the mood to eat.“How can you still have the mood to eat?”“Calm down.” Sean lifted his gaze. He glanced at Elior. “You’re too fickle and impatient.”“You!” ‘You’re not fickle and impatient. Master Stewart, you’re the sh*t, happy?’“Eat. You’ll only have the energy to play with the cat
How could Sean not notice something that even Alora could?This was nothing more than self-deception. Once the deception was broken only would he be able to slip out of his reverie.“If you miss out, you miss out, Sean.” Elior would rarely get into a serious conversation with Sean about Jane. “It’s time to let go.”The latter’s breathing turned heavy. It was obvious that he was upset and struggling.“You know, Elior?” Elior watched as the man in front of him raised his coffee mug with his trembling arm and took a sip, unsure whether he could taste the essence of the coffee. Seeing him like that upset Elior very much. As he waited for words of consolation to come, the man in front of him put the coffee mug down.“She takes birth control pills every time we make out. She claims that they’re vitamin tablets.” Sean laughed miserably. “She has no idea that the pills in the bottle were later swapped out for actual vitamins.“I swapped out the birth control pills in the original bottl
