Billionaire's Baby Chapter 22
The sky is becoming overcast, and the illuminations of the stores on the side of the road are gradually illuminating.The taxi pulled up at the coffee shop on the side of the street, Jane settled the fare, alighted, and made her way straight to the interior of the coffee shop.She surveyed the surroundings and headed directly towards the corner table.Seated at the table was a young lady sporting a peaked cap and black trousers, beckoning to her.Jane approached, took a seat opposite her, and said with a smile: "Piper, I apologize for keeping you waiting."The young lady removed her sunglasses, revealing a delicate and fair complexion. The mole beneath the corner of her eye conveyed an alluring impression. She was the celebrated American songstress Piper Smith."It's not often that we meet, so I don't mind waiting." Piper giggled, seeing that Jane was convinced, and said, "I was just joking, I haven't been here for long."Jane nodded, "I'm sorry, you're so busy and I still made you com

Jane glanced at the wine offered to her, then at the young man standing in front of her, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to drink.""Which actor is a teetotaler?" The young man raised his eyebrows."I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jackson Drew. I invested in a movie out of boredom recently. I was worried about finding the right leading lady. When I met you, I saw hope."Jane examined the self-assured man before her. Was he implying something?Just as she was about to politely decline again, a hand suddenly appeared on her shoulder, belonging to Piper Smith."Apologies, Jackson, Jane doesn't drink. How about I drink this glass of wine for her?" Piper smiled at Jackson.Jackson's eyes glimmered, and he replied with a grin, "Sure, but since it's a substitution, at least three glasses.""No problem!" Piper agreed readily and downed three glasses of wine in quick succession."A great drinker, befitting of the Queen of Pop." The surrounding crowd cheered.Jane watched

Upon exiting the private room, Piper inquired, "Jane, what happened just now? Did Jackson bully you?"Jane remained composed and responded, "It's alright. I gave him a swift kick, and he got what he deserved."Piper's anger flared up, and she exclaimed, "The person who dares to bully you will face the consequences. I won't spare him." She was about to storm into the private room, but Jane restrained her and advised her against escalating the situation.Piper was dissatisfied, "Am I supposed to just watch you get bullied?"Jane chuckled, "I'm fine. Besides, he won't be able to perform in bed for a few days. My self-defense skills came in handy."Piper smiled at her, realizing how adorable she could be at times.Suddenly, footsteps approached from behind."Look, there they are."Jane turned around and saw the group of men from the private room earlier.Her expression darkened, "Let's go."Piper expressed concern, "I've heard that Jackson is a gangster. It seems to be true."The two exch

The roughness of the urban roads pales in comparison to the plush carpeting in the clubhouse.Jane gritted her teeth as the soles of her feet throbbed with agony, but she refused to halt her pace."Quickly, don't let her escape," a voice from behind urged.Her heart pounded in her chest as she sprinted ahead frantically, not daring to glance over her shoulder.Unbeknownst to her, a black Maybach pulled up from behind, came to a stop, and a person emerged from the vehicle, blocking the group of pursuers."Why are you obstructing us?" the leader scowled.Duke remained composed as he replied, "It's nothing. I simply informed the authorities that someone here is bullying defenseless women.""Do you realize who we are? You're courting death!" the man barked."I don't, but your boss surely does," Duke retorted, producing a business card and extending it towards him.The man cast a sidelong glance, skimmed over the card, and his expression altered drastically.After exchanging glances, the g

Jane was taken aback, and when she lifted her head, she saw a teenager standing at the entrance with a bag in her hand.She stood up and asked, "Are you looking for me?""Yes!" The little girl nodded, "Are you Jane Austen?""That's correct." Jane stepped forward, "What do you need from me?"The little girl handed her the bag, "This is from a guy who wanted me to give it to you.""For me?" Jane took the bag and checked it, and it turned out to be a shoebox. Shoes?She looked at the little girl and inquired, "Who is this guy?"The little girl smiled at her and said, "Bye, Jane," before running away."Hey, hold on." Jane shouted, but the little girl had already disappeared.She looked at the shoe box in her hand with confusion.The boss gave her a strange look, "Could it be from your admirer?"Jane smiled wryly, that was unlikely.Firstly, she was chased here, and no one knew she was here.Secondly, she had no admirers.However, the person who sent her shoes must have seen her bare feet,

Shortly after, Evelyn discovered a collection of medications for Jane.Both topically and orally.Jane accepted them with a bit of confusion, as anyone not in the know would have assumed she was gravely injured.Abruptly, Evelyn inquired, "Madam, is your cheek a bit swollen?"Jane touched the left side of her face, recollecting the forceful slap Jackson had struck her with earlier; it was quite severe."My wisdom teeth are slightly inflamed, but it's nothing to worry about." Jane grinned and ascended the stairs.Upon arriving in her room, Jane took a shower before tending to her feet.She had to prick the blisters on her feet with a needle, and that was when she realized she had forgotten to request one from Evelyn earlier.She picked up her phone, dialed Evelyn, and asked her to send over a needle.In no time, she heard a knock at the door.She hobbled over on a cotton swab and opened the door.The instant she opened it, she saw Damien Wolfe standing at the entrance in a nightgown, hi

Jane was suddenly grabbed by her foot, which startled her and caused her to kick out, hitting Damien's face.Damien groaned in pain, covered his face, and looked at Jane accusingly. "Are you trying to harm your husband?"Jane was taken aback by his fierce gaze and replied, "Why did you suddenly grab my foot?"Furthermore, the accusation of wanting to harm her husband is unfounded!Damien snorted softly. "I'm here to test my knowledge. Grandpa said that practice is the only way to test the truth."Jane was speechless.She twitched her foot, frowned, and said, "Let go!""Why should I let go? You kicked me in the face and won't let me practice?" Damien complained. "You're a bully."Jane thought to herself, who is the real bully here? Can he stop talking nonsense?She realized that his appearance was familiar. He had the same accusing expression when he woke up that morning, as if he had suffered a great deal.Suddenly, Damien spoke again in a slightly gloomy tone. "You're the first perso

The next morning, Jane woke up to find her face puffy.I must say, Jackson Drew had quite the grip yesterday, she thought.She changed her clothes and headed downstairs, catching sight of Damien eating breakfast.Approaching him, she greeted, "Good morning, Damien.""Morning." Damien nodded in response, but his gaze lingered on her face.Jane approached the dining table and thanked him for yesterday.Damien's attention was still on her face, and he asked, "What happened to your face?"Jane touched her face and explained, "It's just inflamed wisdom teeth causing the swelling."Damien suggested, "You should take some anti-inflammatory medication."Jane agreed, and they ate in silence. Before leaving for work, Damien told her to stay at home as someone would be coming over in the afternoon.Curious, Jane asked who it was, but Damien dismissed it as unimportant.In his office on the last floor of Empire Group, Damien signed documents while Duke updated him on the events of the previous ni

After exiting the lift, Jane suddenly inquired, "Mr. Sala, who was that lady that welcomed you at the elevator entrance just now? She seems familiar!"Sala gazed at her intently, his eyes filled with confusion.Director Hisham followed closely behind and stated, "That's Manager Archana from the Design Department. She is a young and talented individual. She won the International Jewelry Design Award at the age of 21. Do you know her?"Jane smiled faintly, "She was my senior.""You're also an art major?" Director Hisham was slightly taken aback.Jane nodded, "Yes, but I dropped out of school.""That's a shame, otherwise we could have been colleagues." Director Hisham chuckled.Jane simply smiled and said nothing. At that time, she had a preference for oil painting, but she could also draw animes.Of course, she had tried her hand at jewelry design as well, since there was a design award with a substantial cash prize.Unfortunately, the design drawings she had created vanished, and when

In the morning, at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) headquarters in Switzerland, Seth escorted Jane into the hall.Director Hisham immediately recognized them and greeted them, "Mr. Seth, Miss Jane.""Director Hisham, good morning. Why did you personally come to pick me up?" Seth asked with a smile."It's the least I could do." Director Hisham smiled back. "Please.""Thank you." Seth led Jane towards the elevator.After exiting the elevator, Jane followed Seth into the adjacent conference room and spotted a familiar figure.He was leaning against the door, engrossed in his phone conversation.Director Hisham approached him and said, "Mr. Baker, Mr. Seth and Ms. Jane have arrived."Sala Baker glanced up, his gaze landing on Seth and Jane. "Long time no see."Jane nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it's been a while."Seth looked at them both in surprise, "Do you two know each other?""We've met before," Jane explained.Seth accepted her answer without further inquiry.He patted Sal

Paparazzi? Jane's expression changed slightly, she instinctively glanced around."Don't look, they're behind me." Anderson took off his coat and covered Jane's head, "Come with me."He grabbed Jane's wrist, and the two walked directly to the parking area.After entering the car, Anderson said, "I need to shake off the celebrity photographers first, so I can take you back to the hospital later.""It's alright." Jane's eyebrows furrowed slightly, she looked at Anderson, "Did they capture us just now?""They probably did, don't worry, I'll handle it." Anderson said reassuringly.Jane sensed that it wouldn't be as simple as he claimed. If the two of them were caught on camera together, the headlines would undoubtedly be unavoidable tomorrow.Although Anderson had only been in the industry for a few years, he had a significant following and a large fan base, especially among female fans.Anderson had a few rumored girlfriends in the past, and many of his fans didn't accept them. They criti

As per the schedule, Jane visited the recording studio the next morning.Anderson and Piper arrived early, causing Jane to feel a little embarrassed.After exchanging pleasantries, Jane began practicing singing, choosing a song from Piper's collection.While she sang, Anderson worked on the arrangement, while Piper listened carefully, pointing out any flaws in Jane's performance.After a morning of training, the trio enjoyed lunch together and continued practicing in the afternoon.At around five o'clock, Piper called a halt to the session, cautioning Jane that over-practicing could be detrimental to her voice.Jane agreed, suggesting they go out for dinner, with her offering to treat them.Anderson objected, wary of her spending too much, but Jane reassured him that she had recently secured an endorsement deal.To ensure privacy, they dined at a restaurant owned by Anderson's friend, with Jane focusing the conversation on Anderson and Piper's recent work.Noticing Anderson's hectic s

Piper asked again, "Is he the guy you mentioned that you have feelings for?"Jane replied without hesitation, "No.""Don't lie to me, if someone is so into me, I'll definitely fall for him too." Piper didn't believe her.Jane went silent and said, "What if the person is a middle-aged man in his 50s with acne scars all over his face, would you still love him?"Piper was at a loss for words.After a while, she reluctantly said, "But he's tall and has a good physique.""That's just his back, you haven't seen his face." Jane said seriously.To convince Piper, she had to feel sorry for Damien."Fine, but don't hate on netizens, or they'll accuse you of being ungrateful." Piper warned."Don't worry, I won't." Jane assured her."I've made up my mind, I'll teach you how to sing starting tomorrow, and Anderson is also here, we'll meet at the usual place." Piper said."Okay."Jane hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief. She had managed to deceive Piper, or else she would have pried furt

In the morning, Jane sat in the hospital poring over the two scripts Seth had given her.At noon, Duke called her and once again delivered her meal.Taking the bag from Duke, Jane asked out of habit, "Have Damien eaten?"Realizing her mistake, she forced a smile and thanked him.As she walked towards the gate with the bag, Duke reported to his boss, "I suspect the Madam may call to inquire about your lunch later."Jane knew she couldn't call Damien, as she didn't want to reveal her feelings for him.She couldn't even pinpoint when she had developed feelings for him - was it when he had rushed to her side after she fell on set, or when he had defended her from criticism in the parking lot?Or was it simply because he was handsome and wealthy, like many women were attracted to?She didn't know."Jane, the mushrooms fell on the table," Jonathan interrupted her thoughts with a frown.Jane quickly cleaned up the mess, but Jonathan could tell something was bothering her.Although she denied

Shortly after arriving at the medical center, Seth called Jane with some good news."I have some great news for you. IOC has agreed to endorse you."Jane was taken aback for a moment, then passed the peeled apple to Jonathan, and wiped her hands with a piece of paper."Okay.""I'll come to pick you up the day after tomorrow to sign the contract.""Sure!" Jane replied."By the way, I have already uncovered the Ciara fan responsible for throwing concentrated sulfuric acid on you."Jane was a little surprised and asked, "So, am I trending again?""Without a doubt!""Okay." Jane hung up and logged into Twitter, clicking on the trending page.Exclusive Celebrity Secret: While Ciara Tyla appears to be suppressing Jane Austen, her fans are secretly planning against her. Every icon has such followers. 【video】Jane clicked on the video. The footage was a little dark, and it showed the moment when Ciara's fan threw the acid at her. Damien's face was blurred as he kept his back to the camera thr
Billionaire's Baby Chapter 175
Jane was preoccupied, unable to sleep properly at night, and had a dream during the latter half of the night.In the dream, she clung to a man's body, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him passionately.In a daze, she opened her eyes and saw the man's face clearly. Her expression changed dramatically, and she pushed him away abruptly.Jane suddenly woke up in bed, rubbed her head, and recollected the dream with an irritated expression on her face.What was going on? Why did she keep having such dreams lately? After lying down for a while, she sat up and checked her phone. It was already late.She got out of bed, went to the bathroom to freshen up, changed her attire, and headed downstairs.As she reached the stairs, she spotted Damien walking out of his room. Her expression altered slightly, and she looked away before rushing down the stairs.Just as Damien was about to speak to her, he saw her hastening downstairs. He smirked, was she still shy? he thought.At the dining t

Jane emerged from the shower and lay on the bed, suddenly recollecting how Seth had asked her to prepare a song.After pondering over it, she contacted Piper.Piper's lively voice answered the phone, "Hey girl.""It's quite late, I hope I didn't disturb you and your partner.""No, not at all. Tell me, what can I do for you?""I have progressed in the "Voice of Dreams" program, and I want to select one of your songs."The only songs she felt comfortable singing were those by Piper and Anderson."That's not a problem. We can discuss it when you perform. I'm not too busy these days, so I can give you some guidance.""In a week or two.""Okay, then I'll make plans to meet up with you."Jane sensed that Piper was about to hang up the phone and quickly said, "Piper, I have a private question.""Sure, go ahead."Jane hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a friend who is going through a difficult time lately. Whenever she talks to a boy, she gets teased, her face turns red, and her heart b
