Chapter 13
Jane didn’t know how to react for a moment.
On the other side, Bailey was overjoyed and said that not only were there medical expenses, but the Fallon family had also changed the ward. Her mother was transferred to a VIP ward with special care and the most advanced imported drugs.
“Jane, your father cares about Mom a lot.” Bailey smiled innocently. “Well, I have to go now. It’s time for class.
“By the way, don’t forget my tuition fee. I’m the only one in the class who hasn’t paid yet!”
“Oh…” Jane muttered in agreement. Even after Bailey hung up, she still did not understand what was happening.
She wondered, “Is Fiona friendly?
“Does David care about Mom?”
She didn’t quite believe that.
Thinking of the attitude of the Fallon family toward her the day she returned home, she no longer had any hope for the dowry.
That was a surprise.
Jane quickly hid in the bedroom and carefully put the bracelet back in the box.
Fortunately, she didn’t sell it.
She smiled and stroked the gold accessories in the box with her slender fingers. She said to herself, “I will protect you from now on. I will never sell you to anyone else!”
Dan stood outside the door and quietly looked inside. He could see the playful look on her face. He curled his lips and felt warm in his heart.
He looked down at his phone and saw only two words in Hector’s message. “It’s done.”
“Nice. You’ll get a reward.”
Dan had always been curt and would only reply when he was in a good mood. It was the first time he had received so many words in Hector’s life.
While Jane was cleaning at home, Dan was working out in the yard on the weekend.
Listening to his rhythmic fighting sounds, she smiled gently. Although she didn’t understand why men were so obsessed with this kind of violent exercise and practiced daily, she had never stopped him. On the contrary, she supported him very much.
It was better to hit sandbags than to hit people.
After cleaning up the room, Jane was about to enter the kitchen to cook when her phone suddenly rang. When she picked it up, she heard Fiona’s sharp and angry voice.
“Jane, you are amazing! You can even hook up with Mr. White. You are just like your mother.”
“What the hell are you talking about so early in the morning?
Jane was scolded for no reason. Just when she was about to hang up, she heard Fiona sneer angrily, “If it weren’t for the White family, how could Dad lose that piece of land? Do you know what Mr.
White said to Dad? He threatened to cancel the cooperation because Dad deducts his daughter’s dowry!”
“So we lost that piece of land!”
“Do you know how much Dad has paid for this project? That project is estimated to be worth one billion dollars! A few months of hard work is gone just like that! You little bitch, it’s all your fault!”
“What…” Jane was confused.
Mr. White? Land?
“Are you crazy? It was you who went to the hospital to give the diamond necklace to my brother, and now you deny it. Which Mr. White are you talking about? I don’t even know him.”
“Don’t pretend in front of me! You little bitch, you pretend to be pure and pitiful, but in fact, you’re full of evil tricks. You’re good at seducing men! How many men you’ve slept with? It’s a blessing for you to marry Dan!”
“You…”
Jane was so angry that her whole body trembled, and her face flushed. She didn’t want trouble, but she was not afraid of it. She had suffered a lot of provocation and humiliation from Fiona since she was a child. At first, she had to endure it silently, but later she was forced to fight back.
However, she didn’t even know how to fight back this time.
What Fiona said was simply incomprehensible!
Her phone was suddenly taken away from behind when she was at a loss. Jane was stunned and turned around to see Dan’s gloomy face.
He said into the microphone in a low voice, “I don’t care who you are. Speak to my wife with respect! NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“If I hear those dirty words again, think about the consequences!
The fierceness in his words was clear. Just listening to his voice was enough to make people shudder.
The phone suddenly quieted down. Perhaps Fiona feared his imposing manner and did not dare to make a sound.
Dan hung up the phone, returned it to Jane, and returned to the yard to hit the sandbag with a poker
face.
Jane was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt a little touched. No one had ever protected her like this since she was a child.
Dan took off his gauntlet in the yard and threw it aside, gasping for breath with a gloomy face.
After a while, Hector received his message. “What did you say to David?”
Hector weighed his words and replied carefully, “Dominic, I put pressure on him as you said, right?”
As soon as he sent the message, Dan called. His voice was as cold as ice.
“I told you to put pressure on him. Who told you to mention the dowry?”
“Well, Dominic…”
“Didn’t you just want to avenge your wife? What else should I mention if not the dowry?”
“Hector!” Dan admonished him.
After that, he hung up the phone. Hector was confused for a long time. Fortunately, he had a counselor beside him. Tristan Brown, who had just arrived from Central City.
Tristan burst into laughter as a playmate who grew up with him after listening to Hector’s explanation.
“He is right. Your brain hasn’t been fully grown yet.”
Hector waved his fist at him.
“Think about it. You used the dowry to put pressure on David and snatched his piece of land. Isn’t it obvious that you’re defending Jane? Now, even Jane’s sister thinks that you’re having an affair with Jane. Don’t you understand why Dominic is mad?”
