Chapter 197 So Desperate to Get Rid of Me
She suddenly realized something as she fondly looked at her worried daughter. "You ran away from home because you were scared that I might be angry at your pregnancy?" Janet silently nodded.
"You were actually thinking that I would ask you to have an abortion?"
She nodded again.
Ella touched her temples, distressed. What a foolish girl she was!
"How could you ever think of something like this! Of course, I would have been a little mad at first, but after all, I am your mother, and I would have looked after you at all times and made sure that you delivered the babies safe!" Ella sobbed as she was blaming herself for being too harsh with her daughter, and she wondered if this had had something to do with Janet's actions.
Janet walked up to her mother and held her tightly in her arms, and said, "Mum, you should have told me so!" Tears then came flowing down her cheeks.
Gently stroking Janet's head, Ella smiled with eyes filled with tears. "Silly girl, I would never have asked you to have an abortion. You really think that your mother is that mean?"
When she saw that her daughter was dating Daniel, she had already thought that maybe one day her daughter might end up having a short gun wedding.
However, things turned out completely different from what she had imagined them would be, and the two of them broke up, and she ended up becoming a single mother.
"Mom, Michelle is now in Z Country, and Caspar is looking after her for me. The Qiao family have many family members who are fond of twins. Don't worry, they are all very nice to them." The Qiao family had association with the Tianye Men, but they were kind people in nature, and were always nice to their own family and friends.
After giving birth to the twins, Janet had lost all of her memories. Caspar had told her that she was actually the chairwoman of Tianye Men. She was shocked at the news but she believed him.
Since then, she had gradually recovered some of her memories, but she still didn't have a clue to what she had to do. Deep down inside, she felt that she was obliged to give the commanding power back to Caspar.
"Please invite Caspar to C Country. Your father and I would like to thank him in person."
Janet nodded; she owed Caspar big time, and it wasn't a debt that could easily be repaid with mere cash.
When she thought of that, Janet stepped away from Ella, and simply said, "Mum, I still need to go to Z Country tomorrow. I need to hide from Daniel for a while."
Ella was confused at her sudden decision.
"He refuses to let me see my child, and I would never give Melissa to him, for nothing in this world!"
"You don't need to hide from him, let your father handle this. Your god father and god mother could also help. Daniel would never dare forbid you from seeing your child!"
Janet shook her head. "You don't know him as well as I do. You can't reach a consensus with him, and If he takes away the child and hides her somewhere, there'll be little that we could do about it." "Will he hide her for a lifetime?" Ella pointed out the irony for her.
Janet lowered her head and thought for a second. She then said, "I'll hide away from him for now on. Things will get a lot more easier once he forgets about the whole incident."
Ella looked at her daughter and she was shocked by her decision. Her point of view was way too naive to have!
Daniel was not some sort of simple minded person that she could trick!
Early next morning, Janet took her daughter back to Z Country on her private jet.
When Daniel arrived at the old house to pick up his daughter, Janet was already long gone.
Daniel was no longer seen as being guilty by the rest of the family members. However, Janet was still mad with him, and didn't trust him, but Samuel now had a much better view on Daniel. "Daniel, she'll be back. You don't need to be over-stressed about it."
Daniel took a long drag out of his cigarette, and nodded, "She won't be able to run away from me!"
He then took off with his men, and this time he meant real business. As soon as he returned to his company, he told Spark in a very serious manner, "Tell them to find Janet asap, otherwise they'll all get sacked!"
He wouldn't believe that Janet would literally disappear into thin air!
This time, she had not only ran away, but had also took their daughter along with her! Daniel was truly crossed by her behaviour!
At the Qiao's villa
Janet brought Melissa to the house. Caspar had already learned of her return, and thus returned home earlier than usual. "How's everything going?" he asked. Caspar held the sleeping Melissa in his arms and gently rocked her to sweet dreams.
Janet smiled, and said, "My family has already forgiven me!"
Caspar cast a gentle glance at her, and softly asked, "Their father is getting married, isn't he?"
He had learned the news about Daniel's wedding, but it had turned out to be cancelled.
It seemed that Daniel was... still in love with Janet.
"He cancelled the wedding. Anyway, I'm not so sure about it!" The thought of Shirley made Janet feel gloomy.
Michelle then touched her mother's face with her little chubby hand, and said, "Mummy, sister said that daddy is a good-looking man; could you take me sometimes to see him, please?"
Janet paused, but soon nodded with a smile, "As soon as I get the chance, I will take you to see grandma and grandpa and, of course, your dear great-grandmother!"
Caspar brought the sleeping Melissa to the nursing room and then went to his study. Janet also handed Michelle to the maid.
She went upstairs to the second floor and knocked on the door.
Caspar replied with a "come in," and she pushed the door open and walked inside.
He was sitting behind the desk, and when he saw her, he put away the papers he was reading, and gently asked, "What's wrong?"
Janet put something on the desk, and Caspar's face immediately turned gloomy.
"Well, Are you so desperate to get rid of me?" His tone was harsh, and he was indeed angry with her.
Janet quickly shook her head, and said, "Caspar, don't take me wrong. I am greatly indebted to you, and I know it would be ridiculous to pay you off with just mere cash."
On the desk, was a bank card, worth fifty million.
For the past several years, Caspar had paid for all of her and the twins' living costs. Fifty million was probably not enough at all...
He had the card at his fingers, and didn't utter a single word.
"There's another thing... I need to give you back the Tianye Men leadership. It was yours to start with, and it would be wrong for me to have it."
Caspar then suddenly lost his temper, and as he threw the card in front of her, he snapped, "You want to pay me off? Why not giving yourself to me? The last thing I need is your money!"
Janet looked at him with her heart saddened. For the first time in her life, she heard Caspar yelling at her.
He did not get any reply from her, and feeling distressed, he kicked the chair away and stormed out of the study.
At the bar
Caspar furiously walked into a private lounge. Croft, sitting with his legs crossed, was already there waiting for him. Caspar then closed the door and picked up a drink from the table and gulped it down in an instant.
"Let me guess, who dared to cross our dear Boss Qiao?" Croft looked at the gloomy man and asked with a joking voice.
"Beat it!" Caspar snapped at him as he continued to gulp down more drinks.
Croft raised his eyebrows. Sipping his wine gracefully, he casually asked, "I thought you two were living together. Aren't you? If you ask me, all you need to do is go to her room and sleep with her." When he heard this, Caspar stopped drinking and gave him a stern look.
"I'm not kidding. Women are usually loyal to their partners, especially a girl like Janet. I'm sure that as soon as you sleep with her, she would be loyal to you, both mentally and physically!" Caspar put on a false smile on his lips. Croft's words sounded correct, but he wouldn't be Janet's first man. Her heart was with someone else.
At the current time, Janet was loyal to her first man!
Croft casually opened his mouth again, and said, "Look at Melissa and Michelle. Well, well, well, if only I could get a pair of adorable twins like them!" That night when he got home, Caspar was pretty drunk, and he could barely walk straight.
Caspar was brought to his room by the butler, but Janet heard the noise and walked out of her room.
She felt guilty because he had been so mad earlier in the evening. She pondered the whole night if she should talk to him or not.
"Caspar, how are you?" Janet stood at the entrance of his room, and the butler had just helped him lie comfortably in his bed. "He's drunk," said the butler politely.
'Drunk?' Janet sent the butler for a servant to aid Caspar for the night, in case he ever needed anything.
She thought to herself, "Never mind, I'll talk to him tomorrow when he's sober."☐☐☐☐
