'I see, I am a bitch in his eyes, ' she thought.
"Daniel, who do you think you are! The world doesn't revolve around you! You can't expect everyone to focus on you. Kate likes you because, maybe, she might possibly be blind and not see the real you. I'm telling you, you are a hateful man!"
It seemed that time stood still again, and the romantic aura in the bedroom was now again replaced by anger and gelid feelings.
Daniel's mobile phone rang again and again, but no one answered it.
Her eyes betrayed her stubbornness while his eyes were of a glacial cold.
"Janet, if you ever dare to leave the SL Group again, I will destroy you." After he crudely untied her, Daniel stood up from the bed, and picked up his phone.
It was Samuel.
He closed his eyes for a few seconds, and then answered the phone, "Hello, father*."
(*TN: sworn father.)
He sounded normal, as usual.
"Daniel, Jane hasn't come back yet, and I cannot reach her. Is she still there?" Samuel felt relieved when his call had finally been answered.
"Yes, father, I'll bring her back home." Out of the corner of his eye, Daniel saw her walking out of the bedroom; he followed her.
"OK."
He threw his mobile phone aside, and then strode to catch up with her. Now he was walking ahead of her.
Both of them remained silent on the way back to her villa. Daniel didn't drive, and instead just walked ahead of her, silently.
Halfway there, he lost sight of her shadow.
He turned his back around and found that she had stopped and was just standing in the middle of the alley.
She remained silent. Under the light of the street lamp, she wore a blank stare on her face. She seemed to be overwhelmed by sorrow, and he had never seen her like this before.
He put his left hand in his pocket, held her by the shoulder and then continued along the path.
She tried hard to get rid of him and glared at him as if he was some sort of arch enemy.
Ignoring her stare, he continued to hold her by the shoulder and moved on.
She tried again.
"Fuck off, mind your own business! I know my own way home!"
Daniel put his arm down, and then put it in his other pocket, "Jan
“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.
“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.
Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...
Daniel.
"Hi, dad!" She ran upstairs immediately after greeting him.
Ignoring Samuel's calls, she closed her bedroom's door and went straight to bed.
Samuel was about to teach her a lesson, but Jane seemed to know about his next move, and ran straight away.
Watching her running off, Samuel could do nothing but shake his head in dismay. She was now all grown up, and it was difficult to parent her anymore.
On the balcony
Daniel looked at the wine in the glass, recalling what Janet said before he left, "Daniel, you bastard! I will beat you up every time I see you!"
Her words magically echoed in his ears.
Fretful, he finished his glass and then refilled it again.
His mobile phone rang, but Daniel didn't bother to pick it up.
Somehow, Janet's face flashed through his mind. He walked into the bedroom with the glass of wine in his hand and picked up the phone with the other.
It was a message, which read, "How did you get my private photos? Tell me. Are you lying?"
Daniel looked at the message with a sneer on his face. 'You are not that stupid!' "Don't forget that night, " he texted.
His vague reply flushed her face in an instant. "Damn you! How could you even take photos of me without me noticing!"
I will get back at you!"
Ouch... 'My belly. It hurts.
How strange. Why didn't I feel anything at Daniel's house? Why does it hurt now?'
'Aunt Flo, why do you make me suffer?' thought Janet.
