She was the reason for the good friendship between the Swift family and the Blake family.
Wahl Blake who abandoned the literature to do business took Jane to join a meal of the upper class when she was in high school. The wealthy man, Mr. Swift, loved her so much. Then, she was asked to call Mr. Swift as uncle and she had been treated as a princess since then.
The Blake family had a promising future in the business for her.
However, the wealthy guys in the upper society said that Jane was cultivated by Jack as a child bride, and she would marry him when she was 24 years old.
Jenny and Moon’s attitude toward her was so subtle about the rumor.
Since she grew up, Jenny and Moon did not like her. Moon acted obviously but Jenny would pretend to flatter her.
However, Jane was so surprised that Jenny would trap her like that although she hated her so much.
She came back home and there were only maids busying around the house. Her parents were in the company.
Jane went upstairs directly and took a bath in her room. Then, she laid on the bed for rest.
She was woken up by a ring bell at night. Jane took the phone with narrowed eyes and pressed the button.
Putting on her eyes, she said vaguely, “Hey ---"
“It has been so late, and you are still sleeping?” there came a clear and bold voice and it sounded mature and charming with a little bit spoiling.
Jane became sober rapidly when she heard the voice of Jack.
To be honest, she was so scared to let Jack know that she had lost the virginity and he must be so angry with her.
She did not know whether the rumor was true or not, but she did not want to marry Jack.
He was her uncle and there was no other feeling.
“Yes…I am so boring in holiday. Are you still in foreign country, Uncle?” Jane pretended to answer naturally, but the hand that she held the phone was so sweaty.
“I will come back at 12AM. You and your sisters come to my house to have a gathering.” Jack said gently in a natural and melodious voice.
Jane was reluctant, but she still agreed, “Okay.”
“Jane, you are going to be a graduate and you should not waste your time. What have you done in the holiday? Are you still learning piano? You should not give up painting. The art industry needs the diligent study and strenuous training.” After finishing the daily conversation, Jack turned to be strict. Jane bit the lips and answered unconfidently, “Yes, got it.”
“Okay, I am a little bit busy now and you should have a rest after finishing dinner. Good bye.” Jack hung up the phone after finishing the words. He spoiled Jane so much, but he was also strict with her. Besides, he was so busy that he would not talk to her for a long time.
Hence, she doubted the rumor in the circle.
Since Jack showed nothing special feeling towards her, and he just wanted to have a good girl.
Having been home for the whole day, she had removed all of the bites, completely.
Jane went to Garden Hotel by car, wearing a decent evening dress.
Jack had suggested going to his house, but his mother was reluctant. She heard that an important person of the family came back from a foreign country.
The Swift family was a centennial rich family in Benson City, and the relationship was so complicated. What’s worse, the members of the family were much more complicated.
Took the old woman of the Swift family for example. She held 8% of all household shares of the family and Jack held 12% of it, while other relatives held less than 6% of it. Hence, everybody showed respect to Jack and the old woman.
Mrs. Swift was the mother of Jack, so he had to listen to his mother even though he held much more shares.
The driver was employed by the Swift family. Jane was so curious about this person, so she asked the driver quietly, “I have never heard that there is someone of the family working at a foreign country except for Uncle Jack, so do you know it?”
The relationship between the driver and Jane was so good, and she could keep a secret, so the driver said, “It is heard last night that the one is the son of Mr. Swift.”
Jane was so surprised, SON?! Uncle Jack never mentioned about him.
“I am also shocked, and I just heard it yesterday. It is heard that he is premarital pregnancy and he has been in a foreign country for a long time. He is asked by Mrs. Swift to come home. Maybe he would take over the family business.” The driver kept talking about it when looking at the surprising her. The girl was so curious about it.
“However, Uncle Jack is still young…” Jane could not understand the big family, but she knew that it was impossible for Jack to give all the shares of the family business when he worked hard at his forties now.
Hearing the words, the driver kept saying, “So there is a problem for the family. The little boy has grown up while the old one is still young.”
Jane could get the implicit meaning of these simple words.
Mrs. Swift was unsatisfied with Jack, so she asked the grandson to fight against her son.
The name of Jack had been more powerful than the name of Swift Family in the Benson City for his autocracy in these years.
Mrs. Swift had been so hard with her business when she was young, so what she cared was the name of Swift Family instead of the Jack.
When knowing that it could not be decided by her, Jane just let it be it.
Arriving at Garden Hotel, Jane entered the hotel and attracted lots of people.
However, Jane understood that what made her attractive was not for her good appearance but the relationship with Jack.
Finding a place to sit down, she drank a cup of juice slowly.
Soon, Jenny and Moon came to the hotel. The person between them was their mother, Jessica Wood.
However, she hated Jane and she liked Jenny and Moon so much.
Moon cast her scornful eyes when she found Jane.
Jenny and Jessica talked with others directly after peaking at her.
Jane sat alone and had sweets and juice casually.
The mass was curious about who was that guy, and Jane could not help expecting the boy.
Soon, the mass focused on Jane slowly. Everybody looked at her with strange eyes for the words of Moon and Jenny.
Jane was so uncomfortable, so she put down the juice and decided to go upstairs to have a rest.
There must be something bad, or others would not look at her with despising eyes.
Moon and Jenny chased her when Jane walked upstairs.
The two girls blocked her before entering room. Moon raised the jaw and looked at her arrogantly. She said, “You entered the room of that man last night and we have the video for evidence. So, you had better think about an explanation for uncle Jack.”
“So?” Jane asked Moon indifferently.
“Jane, you could do whatever you like for the love of uncle Jack, but you may not be that lucky after that!” Moon said with triumphant eyes.
She looked like Jane, but she was so arrogant and mean when she talked with others.
“I think you could get nothing if you tell him, since… you are the one who trap me.” Jane looked at Moon confidently.
