Unfortunately, a woman that great would never go back into Alex's arms. Just as he reflected on it, the mansion's gate opened and the old man who stepped out was none other than Lenny.Seeing that Jane was supporting an elder and standing outside his door, Lenny was shocked. "You… Didn't you… Master… Master Alex…"Jane forced a smile. "Master Powell, you…" She swallowed to calm herself before continuing, "I knew from the first day you took me back, that you… You are a good person. You were kind to me, and did not torture me like Huron did. I… I might be pregnant, but I can still be your companion between the sheets. I don't need a title or your money. As long as you agree to take me and my mom in and keep us fed, I don't even need to eat that well, so long that there's food every day… Is that okay, Master Powell?" Jane looked at Lenny in anticipation.Lenny did not respond for a while. He then sighed and said, "Sigh, little pregnant lady, don't you know that I've just barely escaped
Alex could not begin to imagine that Jane would rather beg so submissively in front of a man older than her own father than go home with Alex. How humiliating it was for her to be this determined? At that moment, Alex's heart was instantly filled with frustration to the point that he came close to punching himself to death. However, he remained silent as he watched Jane begged Lenny.Lenny was, indeed, not too bad of an old man. He sighed sadly, "Little pregnant lady, it's not that I don't want you because you are pregnant. I am especially impressed with how you treat your boyfriend's mother. I respect you for that, but still, I can't take you in. You are Master Alex's woman."Jane shook her head. "Master Powell, look at me right now. Could Master Alex of Kidon City want me?? How stupid could he be to want someone that looks like me? Don't worry, Master Powell. Alex Poole… Master Alex doesn't want me. Otherwise, would I have come to you with my mother?""..." Lenny did not respond.
Alex's expression darkened. "Soon.""..." Garrett paused for a moment before gaping at Alex. "Master, are you going to..." He had thought that Alex was blinded by the humiliation and was planning to kill Jane.Alex rolled his eyes at Garrett. "What are you thinking about??""Master, what do you mean to do?"Alex did not answer his question directly, but instead said, "Go. Go back and find Lenny's number for me as soon as possible."Not daring to ask any more questions, Garrett simply responded with, "Yes!"He got up and followed Alex back to the car. After taking a few steps out, he turned around to gaze at the direction of Lenny's mansion. Jane and her old mother had already been taken into the mansion by Lenny.At the time, there was only one person sitting inside the mansion, and that was the woman who Alex set free earlier that morning.The young woman was one of Huron's five beautiful mistresses, and also the only woman who managed to survive. When she saw Jane coming in,
Getting his woman back was a decision that Alex had made from the moment he saw the weakened Jane helping the even weaker old woman up. He was certain that Jane would not go back with him ever again no matter what; he had also reflected on his own heart and realized that he would never love another woman again in his life."I've thought it through. In this life, I belong to Jane, alive or dead," Alex drawled carelessly."Um…" Garrett was shocked as he thought to himself, ‘Are these words really coming out of Master's mouth? These words usually come from women. Is the master really so desperate that he intends to do whatever it takes?’At that moment, Garrett found himself overwhelmed by the urge to laugh at his master for being like a woman, but he did not dare to, considering how sorrowful and depressed his master looked.After allowing himself a short while of depression, Alex turned cold and stern as he lowered his voice at Garrett, "Garrett, find me a hotel to stay in first. I
"Even I know that Master Alex still doesn't have a girlfriend."The other woman chuckled at her words. "Right, you do know everything, but do you think you qualify? Do you have any idea how high Master Alex's standards are? Do you have a bachelor’s degree or above? Do you know four different languages? Don't think that I don't know about what you have been working on; you are just an escort that accompanies men when they drink! You must be daydreaming to come back here, in hope to get your hands on Master Alex!""Why you…!"The two women came close to fighting in the restaurant. At the time, Jane was the only one in there, and was wiping the tables and chairs clean with her pregnant belly. Lenny had, indeed, been kind to her. He took her in and helped her mother settle down. On top of that, he did not even touch her at all. He simply had Jane do chores around the restaurant and promised her a monthly pay of three thousand. Jane was grateful, and had decided to remain by Lenny's side
Jane covered her cheek that was burning with pain. "Wh-why would you hit me?"Ivy snorted, "So what if I hit you? I'm hitting you because of how cheap you are! They never wanted you and you still forced yourself in here! How shameless for you to insist on staying even if you have to clean tables and wipe the floor. Who would want a pregnant woman like you??""..." Jane did not respond anymore because she knew that any resistance would only bring further torture. What she did not realize, however, was that someone was standing by the door, watching and sobbing in silence.Noah's mother leaned against the door frame and wept as she mumbled quietly, "My girl, will you be safe from all this suffering if I die? I can tell that you are a good girl who cherishes love and knows right from wrong. But the three of us can't just all die, can we? No, it's the four of us. At least one of the four of us has to survive, right? I am grateful for how much you care for me, my child, but I’m going to
"Yes!" the nurse replied.The man stepped out of the ward before taking his phone out to make a call. "Master Alex, the old lady is stable now.""Okay, come back," Alex said. He did not show himself because the old lady knew him. He could only send Garrett to comfort the old lady."Yes, Master Alex."Garrett soon returned to where Alex was staying and Alex immediately said to him, "Go check on Jane, and remember not to let her see you.""Yes, Master Alex." With that, Garrett headed to the Powell mansion.It was already deep into the night and Jane had just finished working for the entire day. She rode a scooter and went back to the mansion. She stayed in the same room as her mother, along with all the other servants on the first floor.For the past ten days that she had been working in Lenny's restaurant, her mother would always wait for her to come home from work by the door, but this time, Jane did not see her mother. She did not want her mother to see her as well because her
Lenny was not surprised when he received the call from Alex. He was the one who called Garrett saying that he needed instructions for certain matters during the day. However, when he received the call from Alex himself at that moment, he still felt frightened. It could not be helped. He just did."Why were you looking for me, Master Powell?" Alex asked."Here's the thing, Master Alex," Lenny said, stuttering the entire time. "For some reason, the people here in White Ocean City are quick to catch onto the news, they all…know that I met you once and that you are here for a business trip in White Ocean City. ""Get to the point!" Alex said impatiently."Um, there are people here in White Ocean City, all sorts of people, who…who want to welcome you here. You see… The venue for the welcoming party will be here in my restaurant. My restaurant is rather spacious, and it's legal. The drinks and food served here are excellent as well. The chef… My chef isn't too bad, as well, you…" Seeing
