“From now on, you’ll stay here.” Sean led Jane back to the 28th floor of East Emperor, adding, “I’ve already submitted your resignation letter for this place. Once you join Stewart Industries, you’ll just have to stick with me.”“I was doing fine with my job!” She glared at him. What right did he have to make that decision for her?“Oh, really? Do you really think a job selling your services to men is ‘fine’ by you? Jane, even if you wanted to keep working there, I don’t want you to.”Jane wanted to laugh… What about before? Who was the one who transferred her to the PR department in the first place?Seriously… How hilarious!“Mr. Stewart, that wasn’t what you said back then, was it? You were the one who put me in the PR department, remember?” Jane said through clenched teeth. “You were the one who put me to it back then, so why don’t you want me working there now?”Sean gave Jane a complicated look. “Do you really want to know?” Jane did not say anything, so Sean continued calml
“Did you just say that Miss Dunn called my name in her sleep?” If he understood that correctly, ‘Luca’ was supposed to refer to him, right? Zach had quite the peculiar expression on his face right now… Cough cough, could it be that he was truly that charming? Aside from the time Haydn brought Jane to their meet-up, he had really only met Jane that one time.“Stewart, did she really say ‘Luca’?” Zach continued to act dumb, out of curiosity more than anything else.Before he could finish that thought, the person on the other end hung up.“Hello? Hello? Stewart, you didn’t answer my question!”On the other end, Sean had ended the call without any hesitation.It was not his first time hearing that woman saying ‘Luca’ in her sleep. If she was not talking about Zach Lucas… Who could it be?He crooked his finger and tapped the conference table rhythmically. All of a sudden, he stopped and gave Uno a call. "Check if there's anyone by the name of 'Luca' in the prison."Evidently, while S
While Jane was still stupefied, Sean reached out his hand and rubbed her head. “Alright, I’ll go call for delivery.”Jane was still somewhat dazed when the food arrived… and she gave Sean, who was standing at the window, another careful glance— This was her first time seeing Sean Stewart compromise on anything.As they ate, Sean forced Jane to eat another half a bowl of rice.“Why aren’t you drinking the soup? Is it bad?”He had not seen her drink even a sip of the soup the entire time.Without waiting for an answer, he scooped her a bowl of soup and put it in front of her.Even so, the woman continued to hesitate, refusing to drink.He forced her some more, and she finally picked up the small bowl with extreme reluctance. With the spoon, she took a few tiny sips.However…Sean looked between her and the bowl she was holding. After some time, he figured it out so he grabbed the bowl and then the spoon from her. In no time at all, he had picked out the small pieces of floating
After she got out of jail, this was the first time she heard the term ‘Storge Trust’ from other people. Jane had purposely ignored this fact after she got out. “The Storge Trust has nothing to do with me anymore. My dad and the other Dunns will take good care of it.”After all, the Storge Trust did not really belong to her. It was her grandfather’s. It would not make sense if the other Dunns did not give a care about it.The man in front of her chuckled. “Jane, if I didn’t witness the Storge Trust becoming stronger and stronger when it was in your possession, I would have thought that you’re too naive. Jane, you’re romanticizing the Dunns.”When she heard that, Jane’s heart fell. A bad feeling crept into her heart. “What do you mean, Mr. Stewart?”“Strictly speaking, the party tonight is an auction, and the Dunns are the ones hosting it. The venue of the party is in the Dunn household.”The more Jane listened to this, the more wrong this felt. “Auctioning off… what?”No way…“
The car stopped in front of the Dunn household.There was already a sea of luxury cars parked on the side of the road.At this moment, Jane was standing in front of the iron gate. She did not move forward.“Are you scared?” The man’s voice said calmly, “If you’re scared, we can just go home.”“No!” She rejected his offer immediately. She took in a deep breath and was about to walk through the iron gate.“Are you going in like this?” the deep voice asked.Jane was curious. “What?”He reached out his hand and straightened her back. He grabbed her chin and lifted her head. “Jane, if you’re scared, we don’t have to go in. If you do decide to go in, however, you won’t just be representing yourself when you walk through this door today.“Don’t forget, at this moment, you’re Sean Stewart’s partner as well.”Jane heard the man’s cold words and witnessed his attitude that was colder than ice. However, it was rare to see this man talking with such caution.“Straighten your back and lif
“Madam Dunn, where do you want me go to back to?” Different levels of pain hid in her heart. Jane looked dully at her biological mother who had given birth to her and raised her.There was an undetectable hint of embarrassment on Madam Dunn’s face. However, it went away in a flash. She grabbed Jane’s hand and pulled her toward the door of the Dunn household. “Jane, stop fooling around. I’m begging you. I can’t afford you fooling around during this important event. Go back, okay?”It was as if she had been struck by thunder. Jane’s shoulders trembled. It was as if her heart was being torn in two. She came back to her senses and looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her.Madam Dunn’s porcelain skin was perfect as she was taking good care of it with expensive skincare products. She only had slight laugh lines around her eyes when she smiled. She was wearing a gown that cost hundreds of thousands. The jewelry she was wearing was the limited edition collection of some luxury brand
Jane had a wish. She hoped she could influence the decision of the Dunns with her presence. At least they would consider her suggestion and cancel the auction today.However, the reality was often different from expectations. This also exposed the cruelness of the Dunns underneath their facade.Not far away, Joseph was making some polite but meaningless speech before going into the topic.“So, the Dunns have decided to allow Storge Trust to grow stronger and display its biggest value in the hands of another capable person. We came to this decision as a family.“Now, I hereby declare that Storge Trust is officially up for auction. The starting price is 80 million.”After she heard that, Jane was shocked. “Impossible! Storge Trust’s account back then was at 8 million! After proper calculations, the entire Storge Trust should now be worth a lot more! How can they set the starting price at 80 million?”She was shocked!On one side, Sean’s expression remained unchanged. He was not su
A group of people started to clamor after hearing what Jane said.“Nonsense! The old master is my biological father. When have I, Joseph Dunn, humiliate him?” Joseph was furious.“Have you not? You know very well that the one thing the old master cared about the most is Storge Trust, and you’ve sold it to someone else. Do you think he’ll be happy with this?“You’re humiliating him!“80 million! 80 million! Joseph Dunn, have you not seen money before? You’re selling the Storge Trust that Grandpa used to place high hopes in for just 80 million! You even said that he’ll be happy about it if he knew. Aren’t you humiliating Grandpa’s IQ, moral character, and ability by doing this?”She was screaming. She was scolding him from the depths of her heart. She hated this. The person whom she had once called her father turned out to be a great disappointment!“You evil creature! If this your place to talk?“What I want to do with Storge Trust is none of your business. You’re just an outsi
