“But make sure you don’t leave any traces behind!” Lily said ruthlessly. “Madam Parker, the pay…” “Ten million dollars!” “Madam Parker, there are five of us, we’ll only be getting two million each. At this price you want us to…Ten million each is more like it!” “You want fifty million dollars?” Lily asked incredulously.“Madam Parker, even if it’s five hundred million dollars, it’s nothing to you. What more fifty million…” Lily glared viciously at the woman curled up on the ground in a heap. “Five hundred million! Five hundred million dollars to get rid of a filthy b*tch like her!” After a pause, she was determined. “Alright, five hundred million it is! Don’t leave any traces behind!”After ending the call, Lily crushed her foot onto Jane’s cheek. “Five hundred million dollars! You hussy! You cost me five hundred million!” Jane did not resist anymore. “Wow, I’m worth five hundred million! When I’m about to die, you even gifted me four or five men!” Lily was fuming. Ho
Chapter 1154
Right when the four or five men were about to start raping her, countless snakes slithered toward them. Some of the snakes were red, some green, all glowing dimly in the night. On the cool mountaintop, the bodies of the snakes were even colder. The big and burly men were terrified, fleeing in all directions. Jane opened her eyes weakly. She was not afraid, she was going to die anyway. Perhaps death by a snake’s bite would be a more merciful outcome. Barely a few minutes after the men ran away, a man limped over to her. His movements were sharp and precise, catching the snake in its weak spot and throwing them all back into his bag. Jane kept her eyes open forcefully and looked at the man in front of her. He looked to be in his late forties. “You…you are…?” Jane asked breathlessly. The man’s voice sounded simple and honest, and slightly wizened too. “I stay here on this mountain together with my mother. She’s weak and can hardly see. I can’t afford to buy her supplements, so I

She lay on the man’s back and said weakly. “I…I don’t have a home, not since I was a child. I committed many sins in the past. Sir, you saved me. If you don’t mind, I’ll stay in your house and help you care for your mother. Once my body recovers, I’ll leave the mountain and find a job to repay your kindness.”The man smiled kindly. “Sure.” Just like that, Jane was saved by a middle-aged man living in the mountains. Sometimes, she felt like fate was cruel to her, and yet she was a survivor. She almost died several times, but every single time, she was rescued. In the future, she would not rely on anyone, she would work with her own two hands. She did not wish to be rich and powerful, she would be happy as long as she could fill her stomach.That night, Jane sat in a stone hut under the watchful eye of an old lady and drank a bowl of hot soup cooked with wild vegetables picked from the mountain. Then, she ate some wild chicken and fell asleep, extremely satisfied. That night, Lily

Alex looked disheveled. Looking at his dispirited appearance, outsiders would feel sorry for him. If it was based on her past impression of him, even Sabrina would feel sorry for him.Even till now, Sabrina remembered the first time she met Alex. Back then, she was in Sebastian’s office, feeling as if her life was hanging in the balance, as if she would be killed by him in the next second. She had no chance to even think about her job or career. However, when she was lost and dispirited, Alex had told her warmly, “You can have your own career, you can do the job that you like. Since you like the construction industry, you can work toward that.”That encounter alone left Sabrina with a good impression of Alex. Later, when she met his female companion, Sabrina loved how Jane was warm. Sabrina had hardly met a woman as gentle, elegant, harmless, and humble as Jane. But a woman like her was chased out by him, even after accompanying him for so many years! At this moment, Sabrina wished

He regretted his words so much, he almost bit off his tongue. He was only speaking from the angle of the Poole family that he forgot the interweaving relationships between the characters present. At that moment, Ryan immediately remembered that Aunt Sabrina, Yvonne, and Ruth were best friends with his temporary aunt. He admitted in a slight stutter. “That…that woman, she…she was having her fun outside.” Sabrina asked again, “Is she engaged to your uncle?”“N…no.” “How many years have they not met each other!”“Almost…almost ten years…”Sabrina couldn’t help herself and snorted. “Then how is that woman your rightful aunt! Answer me!”Ryan’s knees buckled underneath the pressure. “Aunt…Aunt Sabrina, it’s all my fault. From now on, I’m in charge of finding my aunt, my real, rightful aunt. And I’m in charge of keeping an eye on the aunt that just came home. I…can I pay for my sins this way, Aunt Sabrina?”“Get out!”“Oh, yes, Ma’am!” Ryan turned and headed out the door. Two ste

Sabrina immediately stood up in shock.Tears of agitation flowed out of her eyes. “Jane, Jane, where are you? How have you been? I already know you broke up with Alex, but where did you go? Where are you staying? Can I come and see you now?” The moment she received Jane’s call, the scene that popped up in Sabrina’s mind was the bottle of water that Jane handed to her when she was at her most lost and awkward, and also Jane’s exceptionally warm smile. Jane laughed softly and said, “I’m doing quite well, Sabrina. I’m full…” The words ‘I’m full’ made her seem extremely happy and peaceful. But to Sabrina’s ears, they sounded like bitter drops of pain. What had happened to her for the past two weeks, to reduce her expectations toward life by such a big margin, so that she would be happy as long as she was full. Having a full tummy was her biggest happiness? Sabrina burst out in tears. “Jane…” Before she could start speaking, her phone was suddenly snatched away by Alex. “Jane…”

Jane laughed pitifully. “It’s all because I was greedy, I should not have coveted her million or so dollars…”“But she even hit you! And wanted to kill you?”Jane replied, “Yeah, if a kind man living on the mountain didn’t save me, I might have died on top of the mountain last night.”“Damn it, sh*t!” Sabrina suddenly cursed in fury. However, Jane’s laugh sounded relieved. “It’s fine Sabrina, I’m doing quite well now. My belly is full, and I’m not cold either, it’s just that I haven’t seen you in two weeks, and I suddenly wondered how’s the problem you were facing? Did I get you into trouble for causing havoc at the hospital? How are you?” “I’m good, Jane. The problem has been resolved, thank you for your concern. Where are you? Should I go pick you up?” Sabrina asked in concern. “No, you don’t have to, uhm…Mr. Poole, he…didn’t ask me to repay my debt to him?” Jane asked again worriedly. The moment the words left her mouth, once again, Alex snatched the phone out of Sabrina’

With that, Jane looked at the old lady who took care of her throughout the night, and called out to her in a gentle voice. “Ma’am, thank you. Initially, I planned to stay here for some time, to take care of the both of us and repay your kindness. But now, someone is after me, so I have to go. I will repay your great kindness in the future.”The old lady cried until her vision was blurred. “Dear child, why do you have such a hard life? You're just like my son, both of you live such tough lives.”Jane smiled sadly. She looked at the old lady with a slightly confused expression, then looked at Noah in front of her. However, the simple man smiled gently and said, “Why not I’ll carry my old mother on my back, and we can leave this place together? Shall we head north?” Jane looked at him. “…Noah, what…what do you mean?”Honest Noah said, “I can tell from your accent you’re not a local. South City is in the south, we speak with a Southern accent, but your accent is a typical northern acc
