Chapter 2435: Chapter 2443: Does Aunt Know?
Ever since she accepted Voice and Shadow, Jane Sampson picked up the piano again.
Lately, whenever she has free time, Jane Sampson practices the piano. Even when she’s at the team base with James Black and there’s no piano, she would go over the sheet music and memorize it.
Jane Sampson went to the piano room, while James Black, not wanting to disturb her, went to the study.
When they were decorating back then, they took into account Jane Sampson’s love for playing the piano, so the house was well soundproofed during decoration.
Once the windows and the main gate of the piano room are closed, you can’t hear Jane Sampson’s piano playing even if you’re sitting in the living room.
When James Black closes the door to the study, not a single sound can be heard.
The two doors isolate the sound inside the piano room.
They also isolate the flowing music emerging from under Jane Sampson’s fingers.
If James Black were to open the door at this moment, he would surely hear her clear, crystalline voice, singing a song he had never heard, yet one that is about him.
The next morning, after he had breakfast with Jane Sampson at the community entrance, James Black went upstairs, only changed his clothes, and then drove away.
With nothing else to do, Jane Sampson drove herself to the Rice Family’s law firm.
The hot pot restaurant business had already been handed over to the manager and the manager, Nina Rice returned to the law firm. When Jane Sampson arrived, Nina had just come back from outside, accompanied by Nina’s mother.
As the two got out of the car, they were discussing the case, and stopped when they saw Jane Sampson.
"Jane, you’re here?" Nina ran over to Jane Sampson and hugged her, "I thought since you just came back, you’d at least rest at home for a few days before coming."
"The publicity work is not actually tiring; most of the time every day is spent going from place to place. The actual work is just those few hours, and after finishing, a good sleep refreshes me." Jane Sampson casually asked, "What were you just talking to Aunt about fake marriage?"
"It’s about a case. It’s infuriating to talk about it. It’s a scenario you wouldn’t dare show on TV. What kind of age is this, and it still really exists." Nina spat out, "I’ve seen scams about marriage, but never seen a whole family conspiring to scam a marriage."
"The same...?" Jane Sampson asked curiously.
"No, it’s about the couple who can’t have a child, so they simply resorted to surrogacy." Nina patted Jane Sampson on the shoulder, "I can only describe it with one word, damn..."
Before she finished the word, Nina suddenly remembered her mom was nearby so she stopped in time.
Nina winked at Jane Sampson, indicating they would talk about this privately later.
After entering the door, Jane Sampson directly followed Nina to Nina’s private office.
Before this, Nina didn’t have this privilege; it was only after she returned that Mother Rice arranged an independent office for her.
"Jane, have a seat. I’ll find something to eat, and we can chat while snacking on some snacks." Nina closed the office door and went to the office desk drawer to find the small snacks she had hidden.
Jane Sampson curiously peeked over and when Nina opened the drawer, Jane Sampson’s eyes were immediately filled with envy.
Nina’s drawer had everything.
Chicken claws.
Spicy strips.
There’s nothing Nina couldn’t stash, only things Jane couldn’t think of.
"Does Aunt know?" Jane Sampson asked quietly.
"I think she knows but turns a blind eye. Ever since I came back, her tolerance for me has been surprisingly high. Some of the snacks were even bought for me by my dad." Nina stuffed the drawer’s contents out in one go.
