Jane resides in a secluded location, and she has taken up residence in a small dwelling that consists of one bedroom and one living room.

The edifice was constructed in the early days and does not have an elevator, but the rent is economical.

Despite the dilapidated exterior, Jane has made the interior cozy and welcoming with warm wallpaper and uncomplicated yet practical furniture.

As soon as she entered the abode, Jane tossed Baolian and the marriage certificate on the couch and headed straight to the bathroom.

While she was staying at the hotel, she didn't have enough time to take a thorough shower, and she always felt unclean and uneasy.

She shed her garments, stood under the shower, shut her eyes, and scrubbed her body repeatedly with her hands soaked in shower gel.

The unfortunate event has already taken place, and she is powerless to alter it. Now, all she can think about is the future.

After half an hour, Jane emerged from the bathroom, changed into clean clothes, and reclined

    Await Jonathan's slumber.Jane proceeded to the open area at the back of the hospital and contacted the cleaning agency."What's wrong with your staff? They leave without any sense of responsibility.""It's just a kid playing around. You wouldn't understand. As the employer, shouldn't you be notified?" "I hope you fulfill your promises." Jane ended the call, her face displaying frustration.Remembering Jonathan's struggles during their stay at the hospital, she felt guilty and concerned."Why are you so upset?" A male voice interrupted her thoughts.Jane turned around to see a young man in a white coat approaching her.He had gold-rimmed glasses and an elegant demeanor. He was Peter Tuchel, Jonathan's attending physician."It's nothing." Jane nodded slightly, grateful. "Dr. Peter, thank you for taking care of Jonathan.""I've told you many times to call me Peter," he said helplessly.Jane smiled, "I'm sorry, I keep forgetting."Peter appeared disappointed. Jane was always like this -

    Ciara's expression changed slightly, and she put on a smile and said, "Director Rebel, are you joking with me?""Do you think I'm in the mood to joke with you, Ciara? You know I have many options for the female lead, and it's not up to you," replied Director Rebel."No, no, Director Rebel, there must be a misunderstanding. I will definitely explain. Please don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry," Ciara said."Ciara, you know how well I treat you. This is your last chance," warned Director Rebel."Okay, okay, I understand. Thank you, Director Rebel. I will explain everything. How about I treat you to dinner tonight?" Ciara apologized with a smile.Once she hung up, her smile faded. She called her agent Salem Blue and said coldly, "Director Rebel says Jane wasn't in that room last night. What happened? Why did she disappear?""Didn't she take the medicine? How could she disappear?" Salem was also surprised."I don't know, find out for me immediately. This role is crucial to me," Ci

    Previous occasion? Jane's pupils tightened slightly, and Ciara felt ashamed to bring up the past incident.She couldn't bear to imagine what would have happened if she hadn't escaped.The human psyche is truly intricate, and some individuals have valid reasons for their malevolent actions.Jane concealed the animosity in her heart and walked towards Ciara.Without touching the wine on the table, she grabbed the bottle and poured herself a fresh glass.Lifting her glass, she gazed at Ciara and said, "Ciara has spoken, and I dare not disobey. I must show respect with this cup and thank Ciara Tyla for taking care of me for so long."Ciara narrowed her eyes, noticing the young girl's agitation."You are punished with wine, how can you show me respect?" She chuckled. "That's not fair."Jane raised her head and downed the wine in her cup.Observing her reddened face, Ciara suggested with a grin, "One cup isn't enough. You must drink three, don't you think?"The surrounding guests cheered, "

    Jane took a breath outside before returning to the private room, but Ciara was nowhere to be found.Betty asked, "Where did you go? I looked for you in the bathroom, but you weren't there."Jane replied calmly, "I found a place to rest. Why don't you sing?"Betty looked embarrassed, "I'm not a good singer. I'm tone-deaf."Jane sensed that it might not be true, but rather a lack of confidence due to her social status.Glancing at her watch, she said, "It's getting late. I should leave."Since she and Ciara had severed ties, there was no reason to stay."I'll come with you," Betty said.They left the room and turned a corner, where they overheard a woman's whining voice."Mr. Dickson, it's been so long. Do you miss me?" Ciara stood at the door of a private room, clinging to a pot-bellied middle-aged man."Of course, baby. You're still as beautiful as ever," he replied, his hands lingering on her body.Betty was shocked, "Ciara..."Jane remained unfazed, having already known about Ciara'

    Damien held Jane's waist with one hand and supported her shoulder with the other. His light brown eyes looked a little dim under the dim light.His voice was cold and lacked warmth. "Are you drunk?"He appeared indifferent and his words sounded like he was blaming Jane for bumping into him.Jane stared at him for a few seconds and realized that this was not her imagination. She quickly stabilized herself and thanked him. "Thank you."She was surprised to see him here. Wasn't he on a business trip in London?Damien frowned slightly as he noticed the faint smell of alcohol on her body. It was obvious that she had been drinking. The paleness on her face was also due to fright.Mr. Dickson's heart rose in his throat when he saw Jane bump into Damien. He quickly pushed Ciara away and apologized. "Mr. Damien, I am very sorry for disturbing you."Ciara staggered and nearly fell to the ground, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she looked straight at the handsome young man in front of her.She kn

    Jane's spine was rigid, and she came to a halt before turning her head to face Damien.He, what does he want?Mr. Dickson was apprehensive about offending Damien, and thus had no inclination to show any compassion or mercy.He glared at Jane irritably and spoke, "Miss Jane, you collided with Mr. Damien earlier, and yet, you simply walked away."Jane scrunched up her eyebrows, knowing full well that they were the ones at fault.If they hadn't tried to force her, she wouldn't have bumped into Damien.She glanced over at Damien and impatiently inquired, "What do you want then?"Did he lose his memory while he was abroad and not recognize her?Damien stared back at her, his expression indecipherable.Ciara felt a pang of suspicion, and her eyes flickered towards Jane, her heart filled with envy.Even though Jane was all over the place, she was still young and beautiful.Otherwise, Mr. Dickson wouldn't have taken an interest in her earlier.No, she couldn't let Jane ruin her plans.Ciara e

    In the exclusive chamber, there were numerous people, all of whom were smartly dressed, and it was apparent that their backgrounds were complex.Damien was lounging on the leather sofa, swaying the glass of red wine in his hand, his beautiful eyes were half-closed, and he appeared quite nonchalant.His features were delicate and attractive, and his disposition was aristocratic. Regardless of the situation, he was the center of attention.Ciara, holding a wine glass, approached him with trepidation.She stood before him and lifted her glass, "Mr. Damien, I offer you a toast and apologize to you for the unpleasant events that occurred earlier.""Damien, the movie queen has proposed a toast to you," the young man beside him said with a grin.Damien raised his eyes slightly and spoke in a cold tone, "When did you offend me, and how can you believe that a single glass of wine will make amends?"The air around them became heavy, and no one present dared to intervene.Ciara's face became exp

    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."

    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."

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?
