"This is only between the two of us, and it"s our privacy. You"d better mind your own business, " answered Kate.
"Privacy?" doubted Janet. Almost immediately she wore a brighter smile on her. Daniel suddenly got a bad feeling in his gut and was just about to leave with Kate.
Janet let go of Shirley and then grasped Kate to stop her from leaving.
"Miss Song, wait, " said Janet. Kate felt the pain coming from her tight grasp, and so she firmly shook her off.
Janet, who was in high-heeled shoes today, then fell backwards, but Shirley caught her in time.
But Shirley was also in high-heeled shoes, and she also fell backwards after she caught Janet.
"Shirley!" shouted Janet. Shocked, she stared at Shirley, who was about to fall down, with a blank stare in her eyes.
She tried to catch her, but a man had already caught Shirley ahead of her.
Everyone was now relieved.
Shirley then looked at the man who had caught her, and his handsome face had almost taken her breath away.
Daniel frowned in disgust at the woman who was staring at him in his arms. If she hadn"t been Janet"s friend, he would have never saved her from the fall.
He let her go, took out a handkerchief from his lapel pocket, and then wiped his hands.
Then he immediately threw the handkerchief into a trash nearby. Shirley quickly came back to her senses after seeing his behavior, and she whispered to him, "Thank you, Mr. Si!"
Janet tugged at Kate, and said, "You need to apologize to Shirley!"
Kate dismissively glanced at Shirley, and said, " Why? It was your fault in the first place. You grasped me first!"
"Janet, you are brainless. It"s a charity party, and all of the upper-cla.s.s is here. Why are you making trouble again?" thought Kate.
What happened before had already attracted many looks. Now, they were even more people staring at them.
"You"ve provoked me, and now you want to leave like nothing ever happened? Kate, this isn"t fair, and you know it!" said Janet. Janet would never let off anyone who bullied her, ever. Moreover, Kate asked for it first.
Kate was well aware that this was not the right time to start a conflict with Janet. So she looked at Daniel, and said, "Daniel
"You"re my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."
Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.
Six years pa.s.sed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...
inside the ground. She then decided to shed all pretenses of cordiality, glanced at Janet, and said, "Who are you? And why do you mind Jerry"s business?"
As her voice faded away, a few people suddenly laughed at her.
People then began to whisper, which happened to answer her questions.
"She didn"t even recognize Samuel"s daughter. How did she have the nerve to attend the auction in the first place?"
"She must come from a really poor place! Janet has been the top trend on the entertainment news recently. Everyone knows she is Major Han"s girlfriend."
"She didn"t even knew that Janet is Jerry"s sister. How ridiculous it is that she hooked up with him without even knowing a thing about him!"
"Ha, ha, ha."
...
Milly then finally recalled that Jerry had told her about his sister Janet before.
But now it was too late for her to mend the broken situation.
"You don"t need to know who I am. You just remember that Jerry is married to Sally! Don"t ever try to be his mistress!" said Janet. She felt guilty every time she uttered the word "mistress".
Finally, Jerry secretly sighed, and said, Milly, go home. Now!"
"Don"t you see that my sister is furious and h.e.l.lbent?" he wondered.
Feeling embarra.s.sed, Milly her purse and then walked out of the hotel.
Afterwards, Janet gave her brother?a judgmental?stare, and said, "Jerry, Sally is easy-going, but you cannot let her down like this!"
"Sally is easy-going?" Jerry doubted it.
