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”. After turning around, Jane slowly limped out of Susie’s sight.Susie felt terrible, as though someone was choking her throat. Furious, she clenched her hands at
With that, Annie turned and left. She could still hear the murmurs behind her as she turned the corner.“That Annie thinks too highly of herself. She keeps bringing up Jenny and Luna, but those two had broken a taboo here at East Emperor. Yes, the higher-ups at East Emperor hate false accusations, but they aren’t against some competition amongst colleagues.”“That goes for every company, and not just East Emperor. How could Annie mention what happened to Jenny and Luna then? These are two comp
The endless nightmares repeated every day and every night.She would be standing on the edge of a cliff when she suddenly plunged into the abyss! ...Jane jolted awake.It was not because she fell off a cliff, but because the door behind her was opened from inside.“Are you nuts? Why would you sleep at the door and not in your bed?”Susie had ignored Jane every time they met after that earlier incident, acting all cold and aloof. Although she looked down on Jane, she did not talk to Jane eith
‘Jane, Susie is an S University student. She has a bright future? What about you? What about you? What about you?!’To Jane, time was a pile of stinking dog crap. It witnessed her change from her wild pride to whatever she was now.Did she not want to vent her emotions?No. It was more like she could not.“Susie, you misunderstood me. I’m just saying that I was caught in the rain and then spent the entire night outdoors, so now I’m feeling really, really unwell. If there’s anything you want
Susie panted heavily, her eyes bulging and her pretty face beet-red.Her expression grew even more vicious. “If you say what I’m feeling isn’t love, then do you think your filthy actions count as love?”Even Jane could not help but frown slightly at that. When did she ever say that Susie’s love was not love?She was just asking her how much Susie really liked him.Jane lowered her head. Three years could wipe away her arrogance, but it could not destroy her intelligence.Clearly, the only r
When she was younger, her older brother had told her that she could be stubborn when she was sick.Back then, she was especially attached to Sean Stewart. In fact, even she knew how much Sean was sick of her.However, when she fell sick once, she insisted on taking a nap with him. She knew that he thought she was a pain, but she still stuck to him, boldly using her brother’s words to proclaim, I’m sick, and sick people have the right to be stubborn. If you don’t take this nap with me, I won’t
