After Being Cheating

Samuel invited the Director-General of the Public Security Department to dinner and got the surveillance video from the hotel. The video showed that it was Clarissa who provoked Janet into a fight, so the Director-General changed his tune. He told Samuel that Janet should apologize to Clarissa. Samuel refused, for sure. It was not Janet's mistake!

While they were in a stalemate, Daniel came and sorted out their disagreement by persuading Clarissa's father.

"Janet, what are you so smug about? It's true that I don't have background like you, but I'm with Daniel everyday. I cook for him, clean up for him and take care of him. I can also bear his baby. What about you, Janet Shao? You have nothing but a child. You always push Daniel to get pissed at you."

Shirley sounded very calm. Janet knew how scheming Shirley was even under her calm tone.

"Shirley, you are talking about a maid rather than a wife. Do you think I really like Daniel? A stud like him is not even worth my attention!"

"What did you just say? Do you dare to say that again?" Shirley raised her voice once more.

Janet sneered and said it again. "Do you think I like Daniel? A stud like him is not even worth my attention and care. I have a lot more suitors than you think, and Daniel isn't the best among them!" It was never easy for her to blurt out a lie...

Janet's heart was beating fast and eyes blinked. She closed her eyes and added more hot water into the bathtub.

"Why do you have to retaliate against me then?" Shirley suddenly changed her tone. "Janet, if you are not interested in him, why can't we be friends again?"

She pleaded again. Janet fixed her eyes on her toes. "Shirley, I don't think so."

Then she just hung up the phone.

Shirley saved the call recording and walked to the balcony with a glass of wine. She put on a cruel grin.

She might not have Janet's background, but she was more clever than her. Or should she just say, less stupid...

After finishing the call, Janet buried herself in the water, And emptied her mind. She didn't want to think about anything. Why did she come back? Why did she have to stop Daniel and Shirley's wedding?

Tears blended with the water on the bathtub.

When she came out of the water and pushed her hair aside, she saw someone standing beside the bathtub. Janet screamed.

"Mother, you are freaking me out!"

Ella blinked her eyes innocently. She just came here and actually she was the one scared by Janet!

"I was knocking on the door but you didn't answer. It was not locked so I came in to check, but I didn't see you." Just when she was about to clear up the stuff around the bathtub, Janet then came out of nowhere to her utter surprise.

Janet slightly patted her own breast to calm herself down. "All right, I'm sorry. Can you leave me alone for a second? I'll come out right away."

After Ella left, she cleaned up the tub and took a quick shower.

When she came out, Ella was on the bed, looking at Melissa lovingly.

"Janet, what are you going to do with Michelle? Will you just give her to Daniel?"

Daniel? Janet's lip curled in contempt while brushing her long hair. "No way. I'll take her home."

"Daniel might not allow you to do so." Ella seemed to know well about Daniel.

"So what? Both Samuel and Jerry are lawyers. We will win the case!" She said without thinking about it.

The worst situation was that she would have to win the case to take Michelle back!

"Lola and Harry once went to court because of a child as well, but..." Ella stopped.

Harry proposed to Lola, so the lawsuit ended right away. But Daniel and Jane...

"Who won? Mother*? And Father* realized he couldn't let them go, so he went back to Mother*, right?" Janet used her imagination to retell the story, but actually that was also what she was expecting.... Ella shook her head. "It was even more romantic than you can imagine. I'd better not tell you in case you become too emotional."

Janet looked at her mother speechlessly. Never mind. She'd better dry up her hair.

When Janet came out from the bathroom again, she lay down on the bed with her pajamas on.

"What do you want to tell me, mother?"

Ella didn't leave. She looked at her granddaughter and daughter.

"What else can I say? I just want to know what you are going to do next. I'm worried about you."

Janet turned off the light. In the darkness, Janet said. "Mother, stay with me here tonight."

"I want to." Ella responded softly. But Samuel would certainly come within an hour. Understanding Ella's situation, Janet saved the words her mother wanted to say. "Jane, do you want to get back with Daniel?"

...

Recalling how Daniel held Shirley on the bed, Janet shook her head. "No. I hate him."

She hated how he dared to hook up with her friend.

"Just because of Shirley?"

Janet nodded. "He wanted to marry her even though he knows she's my good friend."

"Shirley seems to be a shy person but she was a good kid. How did she end up with Daniel?" Ella had no idea what Daniel liked about Shirley.

Or maybe you don't need any reason for liking and loving someone?

The room was quiet for a while. Janet let Melissa sleep on her arm. "Maybe I was the one who caused all these mess."

If she didn't get Shirley into the SL Group, they might not be together...

Daniel actually warned her that it might be inappropriate, but she didn't listen.

When she knew about Daniel and Ivanka, she was at Shirley's home. She were sleeping on the couch, but somehow she woke up and found herself on the bed. Maybe it was Daniel... The nightdress Shirley wore that night... was quite sexy.

Janet felt a pounding in her heart. Maybe they had something special going on between them ever since...

After about three hours, someone knocked at the door.

"Mother, hurry up!" It must be Samuel as it was so late.

She envied mother so much for father loved her dearly.

"I'm up. Get some sleep, and don't think too much." Ella tucked Janet and Melissa in and left the bedroom.

It was indeed Samuel, who held Ella in his arms once she came out. They happily went back to their own room.

The next morning, the doorbell rang while Janet was feeding Melissa her breakfast. A maid went to answer the door.

It was Spark and Michelle. "Excuse me, I'm here to see Miss Shao."

"Wait for a moment please. Miss Shao, someone wants to see you." The maid went to the dining room to pass on the message. 0000
