“I want to see her.”She had made a decision. She was not asking, she was demanding.Kroger understood. He knew that Jane would not give in easily.He nodded heavily. “I’ll take you to see her.”He knew that this woman wanted to see Susie immediately.If she could drag him out of bed in the middle of the night with one phone call, it meant that she had decided to get this over with quickly.Plus, Kroger knew that the woman did not trust him as much as she once did anymore.Kroger wasted n
Susie was getting goosebumps from how she looked at her.She rubbed her temples. “If you want to continue to be tangled up with the past, then I am unable to stand in front of you now.“Susie, let me remind you.“There’s a funding gap in Dunn Group.”Susie’s expression changed. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” She did not even think twice before saying that cautiously.Jane smiled.“See, when you hear that, your immediate answer is that you don’t know what I’m talking about.“Y
Jane looked deeply at Susie Thompson. “Are you using the Dunn family to threaten me?” “Jane Dunn, if you sue, the whole world will know that the Dunn family is nothing more than an empty shell.“I’ll be happy to see you lose everything. “Can you, someone who has lost everything, still stand before me and question me like what you’re doing now with such an aloof manner?” She hated Jane Dunn. What right did she have to be so high and mighty? How could someone who was once so servile lea
“At least I, Susie Thompson, am not insane! “In the whole Dunn Group, there are thousands of families who rely on Dunn Group to survive. “Even though I, Susie Thompson, hate you enough to slap you, I still won’t put so many employees out of work and cause so many families to be unable to make ends meet due to my own desires.” Jane stared at Susie before spluttering into laughter. She reached her arm out to shove Susie. “I must say, you’re so much cuter now.” She looked down at her wristw
The one eating was silent while the one watching only had her in his eyes. The woman kept her head down as she ate mouthful by mouthful. The person opposite her had their hands underneath his chin as he watched silently. For those who did not know of their relationship, they would probably misinterpret that they were a pair of old companions. In the dead of night. The weather forecast had warned of a cold spell, and it was that very night that the temperature dropped all of a sudden. H
Her hand clenched together in a sudden grip. Her palm grew sweaty all of a sudden. The person had asked her if he was ill. Jane stared blankly at the person at the foot of her bed for a long while. Many times she opened her mouth, yet realized that there was nothing to say. “Feet… are warm now.” Another while later, her feet were warm. There was a steady rhythmic pressing on the soles of her feet. The atmosphere, however, was absolutely noiseless. Wanting to break the silence, she could
Jane felt something pressing down on her. She reached her arm out to push at it, but she could not push it away. Waking up from her slumber, she got a ‘big surprise’. “Who let you sleep in my bed?” Flying into a rage, she reached out to shove the person next to her. He was caught off guard as he got pushed by her. “Janey, good morning.” Looking at his sleepy appearance, Jane became increasingly annoyed. “Sean Stewart, you promised not to come near me. Who gave you permission to sleep und
“Do you understand that I am tired of taking care of you!” She yelled at him, stunning him into silence. She knew that she should not bring her emotions back home, and she should not take out her complaints on him. However, at that moment, seeing him act as if he were going against her by abusing himself and taking a cold shower, she could not help it.
