Jane gazed into the dining hall, and, seeing her brother and father was nowhere to be seen,I thought you invited me for a family dinner.”“They will be back soon. Your dad called me just now, he said there is a traffic jam.” Work has been hectic for some days now, they are always coming back late. Sometimes, Desmond won’t come back at all. Evelyn complained.“That reminds me mum, I need your help in persuading dad to let me work at his company. I’ve been idle enough.” Jane complained.Evelyn's expression turned thoughtful. “Ah, Jane, I've been thinking about that too.

The phone rang, piercing the serene atmosphere. Leonard sighed, reluctantly releasing Jane from his embrace.“I'll get it,” he said, walking to the nightstand, picking his phone.Jane watched as he answered, his expression changing from relaxed to formal.

Catherine's face darkened. “Ivy, is this true?” Though Catherine knew Ivy doesn’t like Jane due to her connection with Leonard, the man she loved, she didn’t expect her to stoop this low, just to make them hate Jane.Ivy's face reddened, her eyes flashing with defiance. “Of course not, Aunty!

You'll pay for stealing Leonard from me.”“Ivy!” Lisa angrily shouted her name. “Just shut up already. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?
