After Being Cheating

They were silent again. After a few minutes of thinking deeply, Caspar finally spoke, "I will take her to get the token of Tianye Men first. We will help her if she is willing to do the task. If not, it depends on her." Sherry Song said nothing. Caspar asked a bodyguard to take her home, and then he called Croft Song.

Croft Song disagreed too. After Dillon Qiao had the unfortunate mental illness, he only had Caspar to take the Tianye Bead back from Janet.

But Caspar still took Janet to Tianye Men.

Before setting out, Caspar explained briefly to Janet what they would do and emphasized the great importance of the Tianye Bead to his family.

Janet tried to digest what he said for a long time and then understood that Daniel has given her a very important possession.

After entering the gate of Caspar's house, she looked around curiously. Its style was like the huge Kang Baiwan Manor.

Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the front door.

Caspar took her to the living room and said, "I will just have Boswell assess this bead so we would be sure. It's still yours. Don't worry."

Caspar had told her that the bead has a connection to the destiny of his whole family. It was that vital to them.

Janet took a deep breath and nodded.

In fact, for her, this bead was only a ... A harsh reminder. It all depends on what will happen. She would consider choosing between keeping or giving it up if necessary. Under her permission, Caspar asked Boswell to come here.

Janet was given a bottle of water served by servant and drank a little.

Considering she was pregnant now, she was supposed not to have tea or coffee. So she only drank some water.

Several bodyguards appeared, and they were followed by a middle-aged man dressed in a black Chinese tunic suit. Caspar stood up and greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Boswell."

Janet put the bottle down and stood up too. She didn't know what to call him so she just nodded to him.

Boswell seemed to be the same age of her father. Maybe it was his high status and his domineering look that scared her a little. But he has an imposing and rather charming appearance. 'He may be handsome when he was young.' Janet thought to herself. Boswell intently observed her. "Uncle Boswell, this is Janet. Janet, this is Boswell." Caspar introduced them to each other. Janet said with respect, "Nice to meet you, Boswell!"

She behaved herself and smiled politely, which showed that she has a noble attitude.

Boswell nodded slightly, and asked, "Where is the bead?"

Janet glanced at Caspar, then he nodded. And then she took off her necklace and gave it to Boswell.

Boswell sat down and received the bead. He observed it carefully under a magnifying glass

Which was passed to him by a bodyguard.

After a long while, Boswell put down the magnifying glass when Janet was wearily looking at the decorations around the room.

He told Caspar, "You are allowed to take her and the Tianye Bead to see your grandfather."

Caspar was surprised and happy. According to what Boswell had said, this was the real Tianye Bead.

Janet got hold of the bead and the necklace again. But she doesn't really know what to do next...

"Can you tell me where you got it?"

Janet thought for a moment and said sincerely, "It was bought at a charity auction." "It was bought by the father of my child.' Janet thought to herself.

"Charity auction?" Boswell looked at Caspar thoughtfully. They both found it strange.

Caspar frowned. They didn't know that the Tianye Bead was auctioned in public.

Their people in C Country failed to execute his demand effectively!

Then Boswell said nothing. Caspar took her out of the living room.

They walked through a garden, and passed by a lotus pool. Now that it's warm, the lotus bloomed well.

She followed Caspar to a two-story house surrounded by bodyguards. 'Maybe this is the house of his grandfather.' Janet thought.

A bodyguard in a black suit walked towards them and said, "Caspar, boss had said that you could directly come in. He is at the balcony on the second floor." "Okay." Caspar replied and turned around to look at Janet.

Janet was looking at the lotus pool so she didn't realize that he was looking at her. "Janet."

As soon as she heard Caspar call her name, she rushed towards him.

"Don't run! You are going to be a mother!" The bodyguards noticed Caspar's worried expression, and then saw the pregnant Janet running towards them.

All of them doubted whether her child was Caspar's.

The decoration style of this villa was classic and vintage. It was the same as the living room.

The light smell of santal filled Janet's nose.

They went upstairs and walked across the corridor, the end of which was the balcony.

Several people was standing on the balcony. An old man in white robes was drawing a Chinese watercolor painting with a painting brush. A teenage girl stood near him. She was delighted when she saw Caspar, but soon become disappointed after seeing Janet behind him.

"Grandpa." Caspar said with great respect.

Dillon gave the brush to girl, and looked at Caspar happily, "Did you bring drumsticks for me?"

Caspar smiled, "I have already asked Bloomer to heat it in the kitchen."

"That's great!" Dillon clapped his hands like a child.

He noticed the girl behind Caspar and walked to her with eyes wide open.

"Hey, let's play hide-and-seek!" Dillon said excitedly.

Janet smiled, "Are you sure? All right, then."

"Of course. Caspar seldom plays with me. Let's go to the living room." Dillon took her to the living room at once.

Janet glanced at Caspar. 'Do I need to come along with him?'

Caspar didn't prevent Dillon from doing so.

Though Dillon has this illness, he knew what he was doing.

Then Janet and Dillon really played hide-and-seek together...

Janet always screamed to scare Dillon as he was approaching. They had great fun.

Caspar sat on the sofa and watched them.

Half an hour later

All of a sudden, Dillon also sat on the sofa and became serious. It was his turn to hide. Janet took a seat on the sofa too.

The girl on the balcony came and poured hot tea for Dillon.

Dillon drank a little, looked at Caspar and said, "Take her to the hill behind the house."

"And then?" Caspar asked curiously.

"Let her take over Tianye Men. You and Croft will help her." Dillon said loudly and seriously.

What he said shocked Janet a lot. 'Is that true?' She thought with eyes wide open.

'He will let me manage Tianye Men?' Janet was surprised and confused.

She knew nothing and could do nothing. How could she take over such a big and respected group? ☐☐
