Sean said in an unhurried way."Jason, you studied finance and have handled the company’s procedures before, haven’t you? I’m sure you know how difficult it is for a company to have capital shortage issues, right?”Jason could not believe what he had just heard.He was very much thunderstruck at this moment!Dunn Group’s capital chain had ruptured!He wanted to deny those claims, but they came from Sean Stewart's mouth.He had no way of refuting."Has it ever crossed your mind that Jane n
When Dos noticed that she did not look like she was faking it, he turned his head and followed her fingers. His gaze fell at the door... Smoke was escaping from the crack in the door.Suddenly, Dos's complexion changed drastically. He flung away the woman who was hanging onto him and took out the key to open the door immediately. "Madam! What’s going..."Before he could finish his sentence, he was already coughing violently from the thick smoke that was choking him. Vivienne rushed in immedi
However, if he did not do anything and just let it be, then obviously, it would not work either.When the window was smashed open, the first thing they could do was to put out the fire first.The high-pressure hose sprayed water at the wooden bed, the source of the full-scale fire.Outside the door.Sean could not afford to delay another minute or second. His heart sank further with every passing minute."Jane, your brother is fine. I already know the truth about the incident six years ago.
For the next three days, that person did not take a single step into the house.Tres and Cuatro stood at the door like a couple of expressionless guardian gods.Her residence from before had been more or less destroyed, so she returned to Stewart Manor. Deep in the bowels of the manor, she could not hear the birds or smell the flowers. The butler was perfectly professional too, and everything had been arranged for her.Aside from Tres and Cuatro, she had no one to talk to.No, even Tres and
Perhaps she was curious. Perhaps a circuit had gone wrong on her head. She subtly looked up and stole a glance at him… after which she could no longer look away.She was imprisoned by the deep yet complicated emotion in his eyes.There was tenderness, affection, infatuation, and… what else was there?She looked through her mind for all the words she had learned before, trying to pin her finger on it… but she searched all of her memories and still could not find anything that fit.Slowly, con
“Then do you remember? There is no such person as Jane Dunn anymore.” She replied with the words he had used back then. The Dunns no longer had a daughter named Jane.“Nice to meet you, Mr. Stewart. I’m a convict, a murderer, a great sinner.”The man lowered his head without a word and eventually sighed. He reached his hand toward her again and said, “Will you really, truly never feel anything for me again?”When he asked that question, her heart gave a huge shudder. Why? He had not really sa
"This was just a game, and you're just a toy. "Mrs. Stewart should be elegant, gentle, wise, beautiful, and generous. You are none of those."He said, "I've grown tired of you."She should be happy, but her whole body was shaking.Right now, she did not know if she was feeling pleasure or pain. Was it release, or was it something else?"See, Jane Dunn? You're still as easily affected as ever. I talked about the past with you, and you got caught up in the memories. "See? I told you I at
Michael Luther barged into Stewart Old Manor."You were the one behind it, weren't you?"Without any warning or context, he yelled at Old Master Stewart, who was idly sipping his tea. "You come here out of nowhere… just to show your grandfather this disrespect?" Old Master Stewart put his teacup down, his old face turning hard."You were the one who put the butler Summers to it, weren't you?"Otherwise, he would never have dared, would he?""What do you mean? What did I make Summers do?"
"Your grandfather loved your grandmother like a man possessed."By the time I finished hearing out my grandparents' story, I fell silent. I no longer blamed my grandfather for not knowing his heart, and I no longer blamed Grandma for being uncertain. It was just as Grandma Alora said. It was only because one of the two of them stopped obsessing and took a step back that they ended up living happily ever after. I could not help but wonder. What if Grandma simply refused to turn back at the e
Even then, I found it unbelievable. I ran to my dad's room and immediately asked, "Is Grandpa a pervert? I saw him hugging Grandma's foot just now. Does he have a foot fetish?""Your grandfather is warming your grandmother's feet. Your grandmother's body isn't in its best shape, and her hands and feet are always ice-cold. Your grandfather can't bear to see her like that. Just pretend you didn't see anything, and never mention it to him.""But why?""Because your grandfather will make you writ
My name was Luka Stewart. It was a weird name, right? Like ‘look! A stew.’My grandfather gave me my name. All my many years of experience as a kid told me that my grandfather was not a good guy.All else aside, just look at the name he gave me. He had a perfectly nice name himself, but he had to give me such a weird one.However, every time I protested about it to him, he always said that it was my dad's fault. If Dad had been a girl, that would have been his name instead. See, Grandpa was
On the twentieth day after the surgeryHe saw the person he had his heart set on.“Elior said you were at your wedding on the day I woke up.” He fell quiet again after his initial excitement. It felt as though there was a thorn in his heart. He wanted to pull the thorn out, but it hurt just to touch it.“Is Michael Luther… good to you?”“Yeah, pretty much.”There was pain in his eyes and he hurriedly lowered them, putting on a gracious act.“Congratulations. From now on, you’ll finally be
“Not too long ago, I woke up one morning and realized that I was trapped behind bars again. He had installed metal grilles over all the windows in the room.“In my eyes, those bars were no different from the ones in prison six years ago.“He tried everything to imprison me. He only finally let go when he’s sick and dying.“He said something about getting tired of this game and getting bored of me. I believed him.“He’s dying, so he lets go.“Is that supposed to show how generous and loving
“See? Master White agrees. Move aside and don’t stop me, the boss is in a lot of danger right now!” Dos’ expression was vicious. “I need to stop…”Halfway through his sentence, the three people outside heard some mortifying noises coming from inside the room.They were all experienced in the ways of life, so no matter how slow they might be, they still understood what those noises meant.Dos’ face instantly turned completely red.“Go on, kick the door down. Your boss is in danger,” Alora tea
After the second apple, there was the third... By the time he reached the fifth, he looked at the apple in his hand with a troubled expression. No matter how much he liked fruit, he still could not eat so many at once. Besides, he never liked apples to begin with.“Eat some more, or you won’t have the strength,” she said calmly. He was completely stumped. The strength? The strength for what?The wheels in his brain were still turning as he tried to process her words when the woman by his bed
At the hospital, the ward door opened without a sound. This time, Dos did not report the arrival in advance.When Elior arrived in a hurry, he immediately saw that woman.Before he said anything, Alora pulled him back out into the corridor. The door opened and closed again.The man on the bed lay on his side, fast asleep.No one knew what he was dreaming about, but the deep frown on his face showed that he did not have pleasant dreams.His hand rested on the covers, his wedding ring still a
"Don't worry, this time Sean Stewart won't disturb you again. He never will anymore. "Go and do what you do best, Jane Dunn. Run away!"With those words, Alora turned and left.She did not know what she was mad about. Perhaps she was not mad at all, just a little sorry about the whole state of affairs.It was almost as though she was the one who was not getting her happy ending. In her eyes, one of them had done wrong in the past and was now filled with regret, determined to turn over a n
