Her eyes were sunken, her face was pale, her lips were chapped… What happened to the Jane Dunn who bloomed as proudly as a rose? Where did she go?He looked at the woman on the bed… What a pitiful thing. That was all he thought.How could he possibly have fallen for such a lowly, pathetic, pitiful thing?He was Sean Stewart. How could he possibly fall for such a woman?His lips curved into a slight jeer. That thought had barely settled in his heart before he ignored it completely.He did no
‘You sure have guts to ask, Elior!’Ray, who was always a bit of a troublemaker himself, could not help a shudder this time as he looked at Elior.“Cough cough! Uh, Elior, it seems to me like our business is more or less done here. I’m getting hungry, so let’s go eat.”‘Come on, come on, man. Let’s get away before Sean Stewart flips out…’ Ray thought to himself urgently.Seriously, though, Elior knew all about the history between Sean Stewart and Jane Dunn, right?Jane killed Rosaline. Altho
“I’ll take it!”Of course, there was no way that the two young masters would actually end up eating at a food stall.…East Emperor, 28th floorSean Stewart stood beside the bed, looking at the woman sleeping on it through narrowed eyes… Her secret?This woman’s secret… What could it be?Why did Elior know it while he did not?He picked up his phone and called his subordinate.“Boss,” said Uno respectfully through the phone.“Help me…”Sean had barely spoken when—“Luka, don’t go…”
Thunk!That was the sound of her knees hitting the ground!“Mr. Stewart, I’ll definitely put five million and not a penny less into that card. I promise I’ll work my hardest, so please believe me. Give me some more time.”Five million was just a bar he put there to torment her. It was his way of humiliating her and taking revenge on her… If obeying would make him feel slightly better, if it could ease his anger, then she was willing to do anything at all.Her freedom cost five million bucks,
“Thank you, Mr. Stewart.”Her lips were pale. They had cracked, so every word hurt.However, her words easily angered the man.“Get out of my sight!”“Yes, sir.”“I said, I don’t want to see your face!”Sean looked at the woman on the floor, and the latter obeyed without even a hint of hesitation. Just as he said, she rolled herself into a ball on the floor. “Yes, sir.”She was so obedient… that it was unbelievably infuriating!She was so shameless… that it ticked him right off!She was
Even Alora did not know that Sean had gone to New York. After all, East Emperor International was just one of Sean’s many businesses. It was not even anything notable.It was just a place he went to kill time.It was only because he met Jane Dunn there that one day.Sean’s true HQ was Stewart Industries.The Stewarts were a formidable force, a true family of old money.The family had lasted several generations, and with a proper lineage and inheritance, the family business only grew bigger
Why else would she be taking the stairs instead of the elevator?She had never known that battles in the elevator… could be quite so interesting.It went without saying that Susie was now being ostracized in much the same way Jane had been back then.She just never expected to see this here in the stairwell.Haydn Soros… She recognized him!He was the president of Soros Inc., handsome and rich. Many of the women here would give anything to land a golden catch like him.Still… Jane Dunn?H
Jane did not understand why her ex-dormmate would insult her the moment they met. Was she really that revolting and repulsive?She tugged at the corners of her lips lightly, forming a faint, tragic smile. She gave Susie a wordless glance. That glance may mean nothing in particular at all, or it could also be a look of “recognition”.
