Jane's heart raced when she met Jonathan's gaze filled with self-reproach.It appears that the fire is still raging beyond the paper's limits.Jonathan's heart is delicate and susceptible, possibly due to a weak constitution since childhood. After their parents' passing, the siblings relied on one another for survival."I shouldn't have hidden it from you. I didn't want you to worry," Jane sighed."But if something happens to you, what am I supposed to do?" Jonathan retorted.He shut his eyes and suddenly became choked up. "Jane, you don't owe me anything. Even if you did, you've already paid it back. Now I owe you!"Sometimes, he despises himself for not dying and dragging her down with him."What nonsense!" Jane's expression darkened, and she scolded, "We're family. No one owes anyone anything. If you say that again, you're denying our siblinghood."Jonathan sniffled, refusing to turn his head or speak.Observing his stubborn demeanor, Jane grinned. "So, you really don't plan on ackn

Right at that moment, her mobile phone rang once again, but it was from an unknown number.As soon as she answered, Duke's voice greeted her."Madam, I'm downstairs. Do you want me to bring it up for you?"Jane quickly declined, "No, I'll come down and get it myself."After hanging up, she descended the stairs.Duke handed her two plastic bags, to which Jane expressed her gratitude."Madam, my pleasure. I'll wait for you downstairs. Just give me a call when you're leaving," Duke said courteously."I'm sorry for the trouble," Jane nodded, turned around, and headed towards the gate.Suddenly, a male voice called out, "Jane!"She turned to see Peter Tuchel approaching her, and exclaimed, "Peter!"Peter came closer and greeted her with a smile, "I thought I was mistaken. It's really you. When did you arrive?""I came here this afternoon.""What's in those bags?" Peter inquired, pointing to the two plastic bags in Jane's hands."Oh, it's dinner," Jane responded.Peter nodded and looked tow

Damien appeared quite intoxicated and was leaning on Seth for support.Upon witnessing this, Jane rushed over to them.She gazed at Damien and inquired, "Why did he consume so much alcohol?""He was probably upset," replied Seth.Jane was bewildered for a moment- upset? Wasn't he doing well during the day? Suddenly, she recollected what he said on the phone.Struggling to hold him up, Seth requested, "Come on, help me quickly.""Sure." Jane regained her composure and assisted Damien.In an instant, the faint scent of liquor wafted into her nostrils.She wrinkled her nose and walked towards the house with Seth supporting him.Fortunately, Seth bore most of the weight, so Jane did not feel too strained.The door to the master bedroom was ajar, and Jane fumbled for a while before switching on the light.Seth helped Damien to bed and laid him down.Wiping his perspiration and taking a deep breath, Seth said, "I'll take my leave now. Please take care of him."Jane responded, "No problem. L

Damien raised his head to see an unexpected visitor at the door, and the grin on his attractive face vanished instantly.He spoke in a frigid tone, "What brings you here?"Jane turned her head and saw that it was Seth, she instantly stood up and exclaimed, "Mr. Seth."Seth cleared his throat and covered his mouth with his hand, "I believe I have interrupted you."Jane suddenly remembered the conversation she had with Damien earlier, and her cheeks flushed.Damien's expression remained unchanged, "Since you are aware that you are causing a disturbance, why don't you leave?"Who speaks like that? He didn't even remember who brought him back home yesterday.Jane looked at Damien with a reproachful expression and whispered, "Why are you being like this?"Damien remained silent.Seth looked at Damien's timid expression and wanted to burst out laughing.Damien, who was always bold, also had moments of fear. Was this karma? Jane looked at Seth again and smiled, "Seth, please come in and sit

Upon leaving the villa, Jane hailed a taxi to Eatery Pavilion, the most renowned restaurant in New York for cuisine, where Anderson was waiting for her in a private room. While en route, Jane checked her mobile phone for the room number. However, she accidentally collided with a man while walking and was scolded by his group for not watching where she was going. The man she bumped into, Sala Baker, appeared familiar to Jane. She apologized, and Sala replied calmly. Jane stepped aside, and the group followed Sala out of the restaurant. Her phone rang, and it was Anderson calling. She quickly found the private room where Anderson and Piper were chatting. Piper complained about hunger, and Anderson asked Jane if she was okay after her fall. Anderson suggested that Jane pursue painting instead of entertainment.Jane's smile faltered for a moment, noticing that sometimes Anderson could be as stubborn as Jonathan. Whenever this topic came up, the atmosphere turned sour. Piper quickly interv
