“Madam Dunn, where do you want me go to back to?” Different levels of pain hid in her heart. Jane looked dully at her biological mother who had given birth to her and raised her.There was an undetectable hint of embarrassment on Madam Dunn’s face. However, it went away in a flash. She grabbed Jane’s hand and pulled her toward the door of the Dunn household. “Jane, stop fooling around. I’m begging you. I can’t afford you fooling around during this important event. Go back, okay?”It was as if she had been struck by thunder. Jane’s shoulders trembled. It was as if her heart was being torn in two. She came back to her senses and looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her.Madam Dunn’s porcelain skin was perfect as she was taking good care of it with expensive skincare products. She only had slight laugh lines around her eyes when she smiled. She was wearing a gown that cost hundreds of thousands. The jewelry she was wearing was the limited edition collection of some luxury brand
Jane had a wish. She hoped she could influence the decision of the Dunns with her presence. At least they would consider her suggestion and cancel the auction today.However, the reality was often different from expectations. This also exposed the cruelness of the Dunns underneath their facade.Not far away, Joseph was making some polite but meaningless speech before going into the topic.“So, the Dunns have decided to allow Storge Trust to grow stronger and display its biggest value in the hands of another capable person. We came to this decision as a family.“Now, I hereby declare that Storge Trust is officially up for auction. The starting price is 80 million.”After she heard that, Jane was shocked. “Impossible! Storge Trust’s account back then was at 8 million! After proper calculations, the entire Storge Trust should now be worth a lot more! How can they set the starting price at 80 million?”She was shocked!On one side, Sean’s expression remained unchanged. He was not su
A group of people started to clamor after hearing what Jane said.“Nonsense! The old master is my biological father. When have I, Joseph Dunn, humiliate him?” Joseph was furious.“Have you not? You know very well that the one thing the old master cared about the most is Storge Trust, and you’ve sold it to someone else. Do you think he’ll be happy with this?“You’re humiliating him!“80 million! 80 million! Joseph Dunn, have you not seen money before? You’re selling the Storge Trust that Grandpa used to place high hopes in for just 80 million! You even said that he’ll be happy about it if he knew. Aren’t you humiliating Grandpa’s IQ, moral character, and ability by doing this?”She was screaming. She was scolding him from the depths of her heart. She hated this. The person whom she had once called her father turned out to be a great disappointment!“You evil creature! If this your place to talk?“What I want to do with Storge Trust is none of your business. You’re just an outsi
There was a faint blush on Jason’s cheeks. Not only did Jane’s words trigger him, but it also humiliated him in front of so many people. According to her, despite being taken under the old master’s wings and lectured personally by him, he also had what she had. However, people still thought of Jane first before even remembering him whenever they mentioned the Dunns.Joseph’s face was dark. He felt ashamed. His reputation had been ruined. His eyes were dim as he roared at Jane, “Enough! We don’t welcome you here. Isn’t it enough that you caused us to be the joke of The Bund three years ago? Do you still want to come here to cause trouble for us and mess things up?“What are your intentions?“The Dunns have raised and provided for you. We don’t owe you anything! You made a mistake three years ago! You made a huge mistake! For a long time after that, we needed to suffer from criticisms and comments from others whenever we walked out into the public. They would say, ‘Look, that’s Jose
“Boris Hoffman, what do you think?” The man’s black eyes turned to look at Old Master Hoffman. The old man’s shame had turned into anger. However, he needed to hide it.Everyone could tell that it was good that Old Master Hoffman did not get a stroke from Sean’s ability to anger people. Boris gripped his cane tightly and pushed it against the floor. He was trembling uncontrollably. In the end, he did not say anything.There was a hint of surprise in Jane’s eyes. She lifted her head to look at the man next to him. ‘What does he mean?’Sean lowered his gaze and scanned Jane’s face. He curled his lips. “Jane, what do you want to do?”What did she want to do?Jane knew Sean would not be so kind all of a sudden. When Sean asked her this question, the crowd around them was shocked. They were whispering amongst themselves, “Is Mr. Stewart standing up for her?” However, Jane knew that if this man standing next to her was a good man, she would not have ended up like this.Jane closed her
Sean had already taken Jane away. In a corner away from the crowded party in the Dunn household, Zach touched her chin while ruminating. His low voice uttered, “Jane Dunn?”Today, Jane had given him a whole new outlook on her. Zach’s eyes lit up as he became interested. He pursed his lips together. He felt free and unconstrained. He placed his hands into the pockets of his pants and left the Dunn household.“Guess who I saw today.” He called Haydn while he was walking to his car. “You won’t be able to guess it.”“Since I won’t be able to, then I won’t ask.” Rumbling noises came from the other end of the phone. Haydn’s voice sounded absent-minded. “Zach, do you want to come to play? I’m at Magnificent View. The new ladies here are fun.”Zach listened to Haydn’s absent-minded voice. He did not want to pay attention to him. He said, “Jane. I met Jane at the Dunn household.”There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone. Then, the sound of the man chuckling sounded. “I was
At the same time on the 28th floor of East Emperor.In the ensuite bathroom of the room, the woman took a bath and stood in front of the mirror. She looked lost. She was even more lost when she thought about the future. She did not expect to take back Storge Trust. That had not been in her plan. It messed everything up.However, she did not regret it.Even if her grandfather was biased, he had doted on her a lot when he was still alive. Jane understood that there was concern in her grandfather’s fake strictness. Otherwise, there would be no Storge Trust. If Grandpa was really only concerned about whether she would be a threat to the Dunns, he could have just followed the unspoken rule of the rich and famous. He could have just set her up for an arranged marriage. Before he passed away, her grandfather even held her hand and told her to take good care of Storge Trust.Now, Storge Trust was once again in her possession. In a flash, the dark clouds above her head were gone. She wa
Jane did not feel better when Sean did that.On the other hand, she was almost driven crazy by this man’s unusual behavior.She was like a trapped animal. She was slowly being forced to the corner by him. He left her with no room to run.She did not know what he wanted to do to her, but she could not stand him being like this. She would rather this man treat her like how he did before. She did not want this man’s sudden warmth.It was so scary.It was even scarier than him sending her to prison. Jane was horrified. “Mr. Stewart, why?” Finally, she could not stand it anymore. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them once again, she asked him.Why was he so gentle toward her all of a sudden? Did Sean know how to be gentle?Yes!However, he had never been gentle to her.The man placed the hairdryer down and pushed her hair behind her ear. He did not answer her question. Instead, he merely said, “Have a good rest.”He turned around, and Jane wanted to pull the edge of his
