“What identity are you going to beg me with?”Jane’s eyes lit up. “A friend,” she said eventually.There were no traces of anger on the man’s face. His voice was gentle and firm. “I’m sorry, I can’t help you.” He was straightforward with his rejection. He was resolute and decisive.Jane’s expression changed. She had expected him to reject her. However, she did not expect him to not even consider it. He rejected her with no mercy nor consideration for others.The man sighed lightly. He explai
Her hand that was holding the phone was shaking like a fallen leaf in autumn. Ray had never seen a woman like her before. She did not need to tell everyone her sadness. She could just sit there and one could feel her sadness.Madam Dunn felt her chest getting tighter. She did not know this kind of emotion. She had never felt this way before. The thing that she was concerned about right now was…“Jane, how did it go? Mr. Stewart…”“Mr. Stewart said he’ll let Dunn Group off the hook.” The woman
“The only person in the entire Dunn household who can persuade Jane to call me is Old Master Dunn. Since they dared to use Old Master Dunn’s name, then they should know that the woman has a temper as well,” Sean said lowly. “It’s only right for her to be the person in charge of the Dunn household.”Now, it was for the best that she wanted to be the person in charge of the Dunn household. It meant that she had to come back to S City from the simple and peaceful Erhai. When she was back in S City
Haydn was in Yunnan.He saw that woman.He wanted to approach her… but his feet felt like they were made of lead.That nightSometimes the wind was very strong at Erhai at night.There was always a car parked next to the road opposite Memory Homestay.Sometimes it was a cab, sometimes it was a private car. The number plates were always different, but the person inside was always the same: Haydn Soros.He did not dare to get any closer to that homestay.After all, she was inside.The win
Haydn raised his head and looked in the rearview mirror as well, giving the Didi driver in the mirror a smile that looked worse than a sob. “Let’s go.”He did not know anymore!“Go where?”“Where’s the place with the most people?”“At a time like this?” They Didi driver gave it some thought and then beamed at him. “It has to be the bars at Lijiang Ancient City then, but it’s a two-hour drive from here. Do you want to go?”“Sure! Why not?” Haydn grinned too, but it was an extremely ironic sm
“Jane… Jane… Why are you here at a bar?” Haydn ignored the manager’s existence completely. Was he really drunk, or was he…?He just kept staring intently at the trembling little cleaner.“I-I don’t have money. So I’m here to earn more.”There was a flash of pain in Haydn’s eyes, and he hurriedly pulled out his checkbook. “A pen, do you have a pen?”The manager quickly offered him one. “Here.”Haydn did not give it a second thought. He just took the pen and rapidly scrawled a number across t
This woman was one who had seen things.Her words reached Haydn’s heart precisely and effectively.Haydn closed his eyes and opened them again. His thin lips curved upward, forming a beautiful smile that oozed with pain. It was both insane and despairing. “Sure.”His hoarse voice seemed to hold no pressure nor care, saying it happily and carefree.He stood up!‘She doesn’t love you. You’re the only one in pain.‘She doesn’t love you, so are you going to shut yourself in a fortress?‘She d
Dunn Group was going down!That was the news circulating wildly around S City lately.“That Sean Stewart, really.” When the rich elites had a drink too many at their lavish private parties, that became their topic of conversation.“Tsk-tsk, he’s so heartless, abandoning the past like that. No matter what, Joseph Dunn was once his father-in-law.”Zach smiled without a word, smoking his cigarette at the gathering. The wisps of smoke turned everything a hazy white.He had no patience for these
