Jason's grip on the phone tightened as he anticipated whatever the Banks wanted to say. He just hoped they hadn’t found anything about his daughter’s previous marriage.

“Hi Jason, how have you been?” Reginald's cheerful voice echoed in the silent living room from the phone. Jane shifted her butts on the sofa impatiently.

“I’ve been good Reginald, thanks for asking.” Jason tried sounding as calm as possible.

Reginald's cheerful voice continued, “Great, great! I was calling to discuss the rehearsal dinner for tomorrow. We've finalized the details, and we are using the ‘fruitful palace’ restaurant. I will send the details to you later.”

Jason's tense shoulders relaxed slightly as he realized the call wasn't about Jane's previous marriage. He glanced over at Jane, who was watching him with bated breath. He gave her a subtle nod, and her face relaxed, relief written all over it as she sagged back on the sofa.

After speaking with Reginald for some minutes, the call comes to an end.

  • Broken to finding love   Chapter 58: What is it this time?

    Singapore. Bank Group Headquarters. 10:00 P.M. At the top floor of one of the tallest skyscrapers in the Marina Bay district in Singapore, Leonard, who was sitting poised behind the expansive mahogany desk in his office, was a picture of refined elegance. His broad back was a testimony to his rigorous workout routine. His slender fingers danced across the keyboard of his sleek, shiny black laptop, the words flowing onto the screen with lightning speed. As he typed, the soft glow of the desk lamp cast a warm, golden light upon his chiseled features, illuminating the sharp planes of his face and the intense focus in his eyes. The city skyline outside, a dazzling tapestry of twinkling lights and towering skyscrapers, seemed to hum with energy, a subtle counterpoint to the quiet intensity of Leonard's work. Finally, with a soft click, Leonard shut down the laptop, his fingers stilled on the keyboard. He leaned back in the plush, black leather armchair, his eyes closing in a mom

    “Sir, Mr Andrew is here.” Assistant Rachel almost cried saying that. All she wanted was to escape the lion's den. Leonard, who was pacing back and forth ceased his movements, his gaze locked on Mr Andrew, whose legs were shaking by now. He almost peed on his pants as he prayed for this faze to be done with. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Assistant Rachel finds an excuse and escapes from the room. She can’t stay in the freezing room anymore. Leonard's gaze was on him for a few seconds, before circling his desk and sitting down, his movements deliberate and menacing. “So Mr. Andrew,” Leonard began, his voice low and even, “I recall you telling me yesterday you have almost solved the issue of the bug hindering the progress of the ‘Heart’ project. I trust you have some explanation for the unpleasantness that had been brought to my attention.” Leonard skillfully toyed with a blue pen between in fingers, wiggling it like it was a knife. Mr Andrew felt a shiver run down his

    New York Fruitful Palace Restaurant. 8:00 P.M The streets of New York were luxuriously lit up. The New York Fruitful Palace stood tall. Its elegant exterior gleams amid the luxurious light of the Manhattan streets. A black Rolls-Royce phantom could be seen entering the main gate of the luxurious Fruitful Palace restaurant. Two more cars trailed behind it. The cars came to a halt after it was parked carefully at the VIP parking lot. The driver of the Rolls-Royce Phantom rushed out of the car. He circled the car as he reached out for the back seat door. He opened the door and bowed slightly. “We are here, Miss Jane.” A pair of long legs clasped in the latest Louboutin heels stepped out of the car, followed by the stunning Jane, who was dressed in a fitted red designer gown that accentuated her curves. The red dress was made of silk with a small diamond used as a design on it, which shimmered under the bright light of the restaurant parking lots. After she came down, the o

    “Gavin, why are you here?” Lisa said, her tone laced with displeasure. “Little cousin, why can’t I be here?” Gavin asked Lisa, his voice dripping with a mocking innocence. His eyes darted back to Jane as he said; “I was out of town during my dear cousin Leonard's engagement, so I promised myself not to miss the rehearsal dinner that’s why I’m here.” From Lisa’s words, the Lockwood family of four finally knew the identity of Gavin, who came uninvited. It also seems like his relationship with Lisa was not that good. “But no one invited you here, Gavin. I remembered Grandpa warning you not to ever come to any important gathering we are having after what you did last time. Stop being an asshole.” Lisa rolled her eyes at him, disgust written all over her face. Gavin's smiling face was immediately replaced in anger. He didn’t like the way Lisa was talking to him. He doesn’t want Jane to know about his bad record with his family. Gavin took a deep breath, his smile returning, but a

    Everyone's gaze shifted towards the speaker. Jane saw that the woman was sitting beside a man who slightly looked like Reginald, Leonard’s father. She guessed she was the man’s wife, and the man was likely to be Leonard’s uncle, the first son of Grandpa Edward. “Dad, Mom, you guys are here,” Gavin exclaimed as he walked towards his mother, giving her a peck on her right cheek. Gavin’s words answered Jane’s thought. The annoying woman was Gavin’s mom. She didn’t see her and her husband on the day of her engagement “Enough Helen. You don’t have the right to scold Leonard’s fiancée in public. We aren’t the only ones here.” Henry, Gavin’s father's eyes scanned the private room. All attention was on him and his family. He was someone who didn’t like being in the limelight, but his wife would always make him feel embarrassed. Trying to clear the awkward moment, Henry stood up from his chair, his hand stretched forward. “Hi Jane, I’m Leonard’s uncle, Dr. Henry. I’m sorry for missing yo

    As Jane walked to the washroom, the soft rustle of her dress echoed off the hallway. She glanced over her shoulder as she had this feeling that someone was trailing her, but couldn’t find anyone. She was the only one in the hallway. “I must be imagining things.” She whispered to herself, shaking her head as she entered the washroom.Meanwhile,in the private dining room where the rehearsal dinner is going on, Ivy’s eyes locked on Jane’s figure through the window. A sly smile spread across her face as she stood up, her chair scraping against the floor. “Grandpa, I would be right back. I want to go and touch up my makeup.” Ivy said coyly, trying to sound as sweet as possible.Grandpa Edward's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he nodded. “You this child,” Grandpa Edward said dotingly. “Why are you telling me this? Just go and do your thing.” He waved his hand, shooing her away.“Thanks Grandpa.” Ivy pecked Grandpa Edward cheek, just like she always does when she was a child, before

This might just be one of them. What a shameless wretch.” Helen spat, her eyes filled with disgust towards Jane, who was standing in the doorway.Lucy, who was also shocked about the pictures that were on display, was the first to speak up for Jane. “Madam Helen, I would advise you to mind your language. This might just be a misunderstanding. Who knew this might be a setup from a malicious person who is jealous of Jane?” Lina said feeling sorry for Jane. She trusted Jane won’t do such a thing.

He trusted Ivy so much that he didn’t imagine she had anything to do with the earlier photos.“Turn it off, just turn it off,” Ivy was about to go crazy as the video continued. If it wasn’t turned off, her secret would be exposed. She doesn’t want to lose face in front of so many people.She swiftly moved toward the area where the projector was, but she was unable to find what she was searching for. All she heard was the gasp of the people in the room, as the video displayed where she took Jane’s pictures and left with a smudged look. Lucy, who was boiling with rage, couldn't take it anymore. She hurried towards Ivy and held her by her shoulder-length hair. “You b*tch, just like I suspected. You are the one behind all this.

    “Hmm,” Jane groaned in pain as she lifted her upper body up from the bed. Her waist felt like it was broken. Her whole body didn’t feel like it was hers. She hissed in pain as she held the bed headboard to stabilize herself.“Leonard, you are so cruel!” Jane cursed as her legs wobbled under her.

Her gaze shifted to the bedside clock to see that it was half past five in the evening.Her eyes widened in shock after realizing she had slept throughout the day.
