Mr. Denham looked at the woman in front of him and frowned. “Too ugly.”Susie’s heart pounded. Those two words were enough to make her very nervous.Never before had she wished so badly that Jane looked at least a bit more presentable to others.If Mr. Denham thought she was too ugly, would that not mean that Susie would be the one in trouble in the end?Susie peeked at the transparent cabinet-like container carefully. The water inside was already more than a meter tall. She hurriedly told M
Would it… count?No. No, wait.Erhai. Luka. That gentle girl did not save Jane’s life so that Jane would repay her this way.What about their Erhai dream? She had not fulfilled it yet. She could not… give up!Hence, Jane used the last of her strength to wave her fists, slamming them into the walls of the container as she said, “Save me… Gurgle gurgle…”All of her “save me”s turned into a long stream of bubbles, gurgling from her mouth. “Save… Gurgle gurgle…” Her vision was starting to blur,
Even as he yelled at Mr. Denham, Sean never stopped swinging his mop. He never gave up on destroying the container!Sean attacked the container like a man possessed by the devil.On a freeway five thousand meters away from East Emperor, a Maserati racecar was flying by at 120km/h. The windows were down, and the wind blew outside the car, drowning out the voices of the people in the car.Vaguely, the driver in the front seat said hesitantly, “Are you sure this is okay, Mr. Soros? That containe
Susie choked on the water too, her tears and snot flowing as she coughed. For a second there, she thought she would drown!“Help... Cough cough cough…” she cried, her voice tender in her pain, but everyone ignored her.The water threw the room door open, surging into the corridor.Jane’s body floated like a reed on the water, going wherever the water took her. A large hand scooped her out of the calf-high water, the man pulling the motionless woman into his embrace.The water flowed out of t
Her chin hurt suddenly, and a handsome face suddenly approached hers. “Look closely. Who am I?”The cold voice and that familiar scent in her face immediately cleared Jane’s mind a lot more. “Why are you…”“Why am I here?” Sean did not give Jane a chance to complete that sentence at all, his lips curving into a cold smile. “Do you have to ask? Don’t you know that one of my hobbies is seeing you tormented?”Next to him, Uno gave a jolt, his gaze sweeping across his master’s right hand.Drip d
She was furious, so furious that she nearly forgot about her lowliness. Nevertheless, she… She was still the same Jane Dunn with nothing left to her name but this battered and broken body. She was as lowly and powerless as ever!"What right do I have, you ask?" He smiled, but his smile did not reach his eyes. He had every right, because he was the one who saved the life she had put at risk! … His heart burned with fury, but his eyes were bone-chillingly cold. "I have every right, because I'm
The elevator doors opened with a ding, and Sean carried Jane horizontally as he raced out of the elevator. He ran straight into his room and placed her on the large bed, immediately reaching out to take off her wet clothes. He undid her buttons one at a time. Did this woman always wear so much clothing, even on such a hot day?By the time his index finger landed on the third long-sleeved innerwear, he was utterly perplexed. Who would wear a long-sleeved cotton undergarment meant for the autum
It was the same day, less than half an hour apart, and she— Jane Dunn! How dare she mistake him for someone else, not once, but twice!When Jane was awakened by the pain of suffocation, she saw that the person she wanted to see the least was strangling her by the throat like a man possessed!The force around her neck grew tighter and tighter. Her eyes widened abruptly, and she realized that he— Sean Stewart was actually trying to strangle her to death!It was getting harder and harder for her
