“Jane, that book’s level of difficulty is a little advanced. If you want to learn about traditional medicine, you should try to glean the basics from this book”, he suggested in a crisp, clear voice, holding out a second book with a smile.Jane edged to the side, keeping her distance from him, she had indeed been looking for that book.“Thank you”.Brock passed her the book, sensing her reservations about him and frowned slightly.He sat next to Jane, “I’ve read all these books, if you don’t understand anything, you can ask me. I’d love to hear the opinion of our top student here”.At his words, Jane became alert; when it came to her area so interest, she was nothing short of ernest. Ivy say opposite them, observing silently. Jane, naive and darling that she was, didn’t even spare a glance at the fine, handsome man beside her.Brock’s eyes, in the other hand, lingered on her and his manner constantly betrayed little signs of doting.She pursed her lips. This man was most definitely int

“You should try them on, Miss. They are excellent choices”.Jane’s gaze drifted to a few dresses but she still hesitated, not moving.Ethan saw the conflict in her crystalline eyes. He couldn’t help how his voice softened as he said, “Don’t worry. It costs nothing to try on the clothes and their price can be negotiated later”.The crease between her brows disappeared at his words. Finally, she selected a few pieces of clothing. When she was finished trying them on, she felt rather shy. It had been a long time since she’d worn any new clothes.The pale yellow dress brought out the fairness of her complexion, it’s V-neck suited her as did the pinched waist and flowery patterns on the outer tulle layer of the skirt.“How is it?”, she asked Ethan blushing, eyes shining as she awaited his opinion.“It’s gorgeous”.Ethan studied her slender waist, the way the dress hugged the curves of her body was truly alluring.“Try on a few more”.Jane laughed giddily, unable to contain her joy, then hea

Jane recovered her senses quickly and got to her feet for the lucky draw. She drew a number card from the lucky draw and opened it, only to find that she had won the first prize!“Congratulations Miss”, the staff member exclaimed, “In addition to the ten percent discount off all your items today, you also get a buy one get one free deal!“You’re indeed a lucky man, dear!”Ethan smiled, “These dual promotions are a rare opportunity, you should make use of it and get a few more things”.Jane couldn’t resist such a tantalizing deal. In the end, her shopping amounted to fifty bags worth a total of two hundred dollars! She had been prepared for her wallet to bleed when she paid; now she stared at the staff member in disbelief as they calculated the price of her items.“Surely there’s some mistake? All this for only two hundred dollars?”“There’s no mistake”, the staff member smiled almost derisively, “not with both the deals for today!”Jane had been certain that there was an error, but sh

At the mention of her mother, fury burned through Jane, flushing her face. Her knuckles turned white, trembling with rage and for one second, murder flashed in her eyes.She had left the Harrisons’ household; she didn’t have to tread on eggshells around them anymore. No… she could retaliate freely.“Marcy, you regularly steal Stacy’s jewelry and when she can’t find them, you allow me to be maligned and beaten. For my own good, you say? Who’s the shameless one here?”Marcy’s sneer slipped, giving away to embarrassment before taking on a caustic, bitter edge.“What proof do you have? You liar — you were clearly the one brazen enough to steal and now you’re blaming me? The Harrisons were too kind to you. They should have beaten you to death a long time ago!”Before Jane could retort, the man in the wheelchair grabbed her hand.“This woman used to beat you?”Briefly stunned, Jane’s eyes drifted to Marcy whose face was written over with unabashed mockery. She nodded. It was true — Marcy wou

“With how respectfully he treated that woman, she must be from no ordinary background, whatever it is”Understanding dawned on several of the staff. Someone must have wanted to keep that woman happy, to force them to put in such a performance.Back at the mansion, Jane looked at the sight of the overflowing wardrobe and felt her heart swell with something inexplicable. She ran downstairs, her footsteps sounding a joyful tempo.She was going to cook dinner for her husband, to repay her husband’s efforts in taking her out shopping.“Jane, do you need any help?”She was about to say no when she recalled that he was I’ll; it must be lonely to have to sit in his wheelchair all day. It wouldn’t hurt to let him her out in small ways, to be mindful of his feelings and prevent him from feeling inferior.“You can help me peel the onions”, she said lifting her brows at him.Ethan couldn’t help his mouth curling upwards at her tone, it was one she might use to speak soothingly to a child.“Alright

He still hadn’t woken so she said softly, “Wake up dear. Let’s go for a walk and get some exercise”. His legs might be injured but he could still work his arms, and it would strengthen his heart too. Ethan frowned faintly, only half awake and hugged her even more tighter, drifting back into the muzzy cocoon of sleep. Feeling his warm breath, Jane blushed even deeper. A stranger feeling was stirring in her core, like an itch yearning to be scratched, sending fire pooling through her body. Her breath hitched and she squirmed. “Dear, if you don’t get up, I will”. She might just combust if he didn’t move soon! Her squirming must have woken him because he slowly opened his eyes. “Good morning, Jane”. Her face was bright red. She looked away from him shyly, unable to meet his gaze. “Good… good morning” “While I was half asleep, I heard you say you wanted to go out for some exercise?” She nodded in a fluster “Yes, I wanted to bring you for a walk. It’s good to get some fresh air”.

Professor Sam had his reading glasses on and was studying the contents of a book. He didn’t raise his head. “Can’t you see for yourself? Come in, girl, don’t just stand there like a fool”. Jane had hoped to be able to learn from him today but she didn’t dare to voice it out. Instead, she scurried to clean up the office. Professor Sam was strict and harsh with his students; he didn’t suffer fools, especially those who thought to waste his time. She had been his assistant for more than six months, and I’m that time, he had made one thing perfectly clear to her: Keep your mouth shut and make yourself useful. “How is your English, girl?” Professor Sam asked suddenly, placing down his book. Jane practically shot to her feet, “Passable”. Professor Sam wasn’t a man to tolerate ambiguous replies like that, so he tossed two documents at her. “Are you up to it? If so, translate them for me within the next two weeks”. Jane scanned the documents, “Don’t worry, Professor, I’ll do my best to

Selene looked him up and down — his casual style of dressing, his gentle demeanor, his soft pleasant voice — while thinking of how he rarely ever spoke to her. Her heart gave a small flutter. “It’s nothing”, she said demurely, “We were just having some fun with Jane”. Jealousy surged through Yashi at the sight of Darren Leister standing next to Jane. Her face twisted in savage fury. The nerve of that wh*re, to try and steal the man she liked. “Stop doing this injustice to yourself, Selene”, then she turned to the two men, “We were confronting Jane about her scheming intentions”. “She knocked into Selene first without apologizing. She’s an ill mannered bas*ard child with no parents and she has been living off the Harrisons for years, but is bullying Selene behind their backs!” Brock Davenport and Yashi’s mothers have been bosom friends for a long time. Naturally, this made them siblings of some sort. Brock and Darren’s foreheads creased in exasperation at Yashi’s antics. Jane’s
