“The fare, of course.”“But mister, I didn’t actually take your cab.” Jane was even more confused now.The cabbie rolled his eyes at her, sounding especially impatient. “You sat in my car, right? You’re so unlucky, so I’ll have to wash your bad luck out of my car, don’t I? And that costs money, right?“...”When Jane did not move, the cabbie frowned and hastened her. “Hurry up! Why are you always wasting time?!”“But I…”“No buts. It’s one hundred bucks, pay up.”Jane’s expression contort

A second later, there were two knocks on the driver’s window. Jane heard a business-like voice outside the window, saying, “Kindly open the cab door.”The voice was very cold and official, without any hint of emotion. Although he used the word ‘please’, it was an order and not a request… Sean’s subordinates were just like him in that sense.Jane screamed at the cabbie, “Don’t open the door!” She said, “I’ll pay you…”Suddenly…Smash!There was a loud sound, and then the passenger’s side window shattered into pieces.That sudden escalation scared Jane out of her wits, but it also spooked the cabbie in the driver’s seat.“I-I-I’m calling the cops! That’s breaking the…” law!Swoosh! Just then, a stack of brand new notes rained down on the cabbie. There had to be about ten thousand by estimates alone. Outside the car window, a bodyguard with a crew cut and a black suit asked stiffly, “Can you open the car door now?”“Yes, yes, of course~! Right away!” The driver’s eyes sparkled at

Back then, she would even tell him with a straight face, “Sean, you’re too influential and powerful. You have too many enemies, so you shouldn’t have any weaknesses. Firstly, your woman can’t be your weakness. Rosaline is too weak, so she won’t do. But I’ll be perfect for you!”Every time, he would tell her off, saying, “How could you be so despicable? Going after your friend’s man?!” However, every time, she would throw her head back and retort with, “You’re single now, Sean. Once Rosaline off

Sean’s anger was overwhelming. He opened the car door with one hand and dragged her out of the car. “Do you really wanna kneel? Are your knees really that weak? Do you like kneeling so much?” Veins were throbbing on Sean’s perfect face, and he dragged Jane all the way to the entrance of East Emperor International Entertainment Center, tossing her onto the ground. “Since you like kneeling so much, show us, Jane Dunn! Put on a show for us, right here!”He really did not know why he was so angry!

Jane stood in front of Sean uneasily. Soon, someone knocked on the door, and Sean said in his deep magnetic voice, “Come on in.”Jane looked at the person who entered with some panic— It was Alora Smith, the one who had interviewed her three months ago.“Hi, Alora.” Jane’s heart was in her throat. She carefully glanced at Sean, who was sitting on a single-seater couch, and then she turned to look at Alora, who had suddenly appeared here. Her heart was pounding; she had no idea what this unreadable man was planning now.“Greetings, Mr. Stewart.” Alora was wearing a perfectly-tailored white suit, and it did not diminish her charms at all. She knew exactly how to behave in front of Sean, saying, “How may I help you, sir?”Jane found Alora’s attitude toward Sean a little strange, as though Sean was her patron or boss… What Jane did not know was that Sean really was Alora’s big boss. Jane had spent three years in prison, after all, and everything had changed in those three years.“Do y

The more Jane thought about it, the harder she shook her head. “No, Mr. Stewart, I don’t want to go to the P.R. department.” She pleaded in a panic, “I know I was wrong, please spare me, Mr. Stewart. I already did three years in jail and paid the price for what I did. Give me my bank card, sir, and I’ll disappear right away. I’ll go far, far away, and I swear that you’ll never see me again.”All Jane could do was plead. She did not notice the surprise in Alora’s eyes when the latter heard about

Jane turned around to look at Alora, giving her a tragic smile. It was only then that Alora saw the bloody teeth marks on Jane’s pale lips. “A-Are you alright?” Alora asked.“I’m fine.” Jane stood up, her body swaying. Alora could not bear to see her that way, so she was about to help Jane when Jane steadied her footing, giving Alora a pale but grateful smile. “Thank you, Alora.”“Are... you sure you’re fine?” Alora could see that Jane could barely stand straight, so it was really hard for her

It had been three days. Three days after Jane was transferred to the P.R. department, she had yet to earn a single cent. She glanced at the time and saw that it was 23:07. That was precisely the time when business started booming here.The entire P.R. department was empty, and she was the only one left in the waiting room. All of her colleagues in the department had left to do their jobs. To be honest, every member of the P.R. department here at East Emperor earned quite a lot. The clientele co

The boy was just over twenty, his hair dyed ash brown. He just radiated youthful arrogance.Right now, he was sprawled over the couch, but when he saw Jane enter the room, he suddenly leaned forward, the necklace swaying in the air with him. The boy pointed at himself and gave Jane a smile, saying, “C’mon, clownie, smile one for me. Over here, yeah! If it’s a nice smile, I’ll make it worth it for you.” He threw a thick wad of cash at Jane’s feet, not holding back in the slightest.That only ad

“I…” Jane opened her mouth to decline instinctively. In that darkness, Sean’s lips curved… He knew it, he knew that the proud Miss Dunn would not be able to give up her dignity and take this insult lying down.“I get to keep all this money if I pick it up within a minute, you say? And you’ll give me another fifty thousand too, right?”Jane could not continue what she wanted to say after that initial “I”. The scene before her eyes returned to that dark prison and to that silly girl, the only one who showed her any kindness. That dream she saw as she lay dying… All the thoughts ran through Jane’s head, and she forcefully changed her mind. Her pride? Did she have anything like that?Right now, Jane Dunn had nothing. No family, no relatives, no friends, no past… All she had left was herself.What use did she have… for her petty pride?!The cocky boy chuckled. “Of course. I keep my promises.” There was a hint of jest in his eyes as he looked down at the comical woman on the floor.“Ok
