After Being Cheating

Standing in front of Alina, Janet smiled, and said, "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Zhou. Happy birthday!"

"Sorry, you are?" Alina looked at Janet, puzzled. She felt that she seemed familiar, but didn't know exactly where.

The reason why Janet seemed familiar to her was that Janet resembled Samuel, but she had never seen Janet in her life, not even once.

Janet briefly introduced herself. She said, "My mother's Ella. My parents are very busy with some other things today, so I came to the party for them." When she mentioned Ella, Janet heard whispers behind her.

Alina held her hands out to her, and said, "Oh, so you're Ella's daughter! My god, you are a beauty! I haven't seen you until now."

Janet explained, "Yeah, that's because I got back from abroad just a few days ago."

Alina introduced Janet to her husband, Felton Zhou. She said, "Felton, look! This is Ella's daughter, and isn't she a beauty, right?"

Felton looked at Janet from head to toe and nodded.

Ignoring the other men's glances, Janet smiled, and said, "Nice to meet you, mayor Zhou! I'm Janet Shao."

Alina pretended to get angry, and said, "Janet, just call me auntie, and Felton uncle."

Janet nodded with smile, and she passed the present she was holding in her hand to Alina, saying, "Happy birthday! I hope that you'll accept my scanty gift!"

Janet behaved herself from the very beginning to the end of the party, and in doing so attracted other people's attention.

Alina received her gift cheerfully, and then began to present Janet to all the other people around her. The first was Daniel, and she said, "Janet, your mom has asked me to help you make some more friends. This is Daniel, the more than capable CEO of the SL Group! Boss Si, this is my friend's daughter, Janet Shao."

Felton had become mayor for nearly two years, and Alina had followed him there. She knew nothing about what had happened between Daniel and Janet.

Daniel slightly shook the wine glass he was holding in his hand and said nothing.

Janet was also silent, and the atmosphere around them soon became embarrassing.

Alina curiously looked at them. Then, a girl came near her, and in a low voice, said, "Mrs. Zhou, Janet is Daniel's sworn sister."

Alina soon understood, but became even more curious. She thought, 'If so, they should get along quite well. But why aren't they talking to each other?'

Seeing Alina's confusion, another woman explained to her, "It's said that Janet had once chased Boss Si, but that Boss Si refused."

Janet didn't know what to say. 'When did I ever become such a woman?'

Alina knew that their relationship was unusual, so she introduced her to some other friends, and after that, Alina followed Felton to welcome a couple of distinguished guests.

Janet was going to leave when she heard some debutantes gossiping that Daniel had refused her love. Some of them sneered, "How dare she chase Boss Si? She wanted to bite off more than she could chew!"

"You may not know this, but Ella, Janet's mother, had once killed someone!"

What one woman was gossiping surprised the others present, and deeply offended Janet.

Shirley was surprised too. 'Janet didn't tell me of these things!'

"The daughter of a murderer wanted to chase Boss Si? How ridiculous could she be!" Many people overheard this toxic conversation.

And the woman who had said all of these bad words was the youngest daughter of a head of department in C Country. Her name was Clarissa Yi, who had returned from abroad several days ago. She was a beauty and wealthy, and she felt that she was qualified to behave like this.

She was arrogant and wilful, and common people didn't dare to offend her. She dared to say what other people didn't dare to discover.

Where there are women, there's always trouble, and this was true.

Janet glanced at Daniel, who was talking with the boss of one of his partnering companies. He seemed to know nothing about what was happening there.

'I can only depend on myself, ' thought Janet.

Looking at the women surrounding her, she confronted them, and said, "I've had enough of your nonsense! You know nothing about what really happened!" "Oh, are you angry now?" Clarissa who was dressed in an off-white dress filled with diamonds, covered her mouth and sneered.

Another woman said, "Yeah, you just have a bad temper and dare to diss Clarissa!" She hadn't seen Janet before, and was also unaware of her identity.

But then another woman appeared, and said, "Don't you know who Janet is? How dare you mock her!"

Janet looked at her. She felt that she had met with her in the past, but couldn't remember where.

"I'm Milly. Three years ago, I went to a charity gala with your brother." What Milly said reminded Janet of who she was. Milly was now friendly to her, despite the fact that Janet had treated her badly a few years ago.

When she and Jerry had participated together in the gala, Janet had become very angry, because she knew that her brother was married.

Janet's face then flushed a little.

Clarissa thought better for a moment, and remembered that someone had mentioned her before. She asked the woman beside her, "Janet? Who's Janet?"

Several women shook their head tacitly and sneered.

Janet glanced at them and just lifted her dress to leave, ignoring their rude reaction.

But she almost fell down because someone had stamped on her dress.

Luckily, Milly held Janet and she didn't fell down.

"Oh, it seems that I failed to stamp your dress off. You look so sexy, don't you want to seduce Boss Si?" said Clarissa. While she was speaking, Clarissa swirled her wine glass arrogantly. Janet couldn't stand her any longer; she had now hit her baseline.

What happened now drew many people's attention, and Janet became the main focus of the event.

Janet fixed her dress and then walked towards Clarissa with a full glass of champagne. She determinedly said, "Apologize to me, now!"

What Janet did reminded Daniel of the past, when she was still very lively, and stubborn.

The people surrounding Janet laughed.

They all laughed at her over-confidence.

"She asked Clarissa to apologize? How dare she!" asked a woman.

Clarissa looked at Janet mockingly, and said, "You? You want me to apologize? Why?"

Milly looked down on Clarissa, and said, "Three years ago, Janet was even more arrogant than you!"

"She? More arrogant? Why? Because of her beautiful face and figure? With which older man did you have sex with?" asked Clarissa. Some woman laughed at Janet, and changed their attitude towards her. "Which man? Do you really want to know?" And then, all of a sudden, Janet mysteriously smiled. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
