Daniel threw her clothes on the bed, and said to her in a low and deep voice, "Janet, what Kate told you was just to stir up trouble between the two of us. If you keep arguing with me and hating me, you'll fall into her trap."
Janet took the bag and opened it. A whole set of clothes had been prepared for her, including underwear.
She crawled out of the quilt and took off the bathrobe in front of the man, and then she slowly dressed with each of the clothing items in the bag.
But she didn't utter a single word to him in reply, and Daniel grabbed the bathrobe from the ground and put it on him.
Janet caught a glimpse of his body, and her face flushed red.
Jerry hadn't brought her shoes, so she had to put on the lady slippers, already prepared for her by Daniel in advance.
Before she opened the bedroom's door, Daniel gripped her wrist again and forced her to look into his eyes. He said, "Did you hear what I just said?"
Janet lowered her head, and said, "Let me go and I'll think about it."
Daniel then held her chin and raised it, kissing her red lips. His kiss was imperious, and rude.
Then he held her tight to his chest with his right arm. If nothing had happened today, Daniel definitely wouldn't have allowed her to leave.
After a while, Daniel said, "Janet, I will give you only one night to think about it. I'll come to your house and pick you up tomorrow."
She nodded, and the man let her go and opened the bedroom's door for her.
Jerry was reading a book he took from one of the shelves in the living room. When he heard the door open, he placed back the book from where he took it.
He said, "Daniel, we should go now." Jerry casually rested his left arm on his own sister's shoulder, but the next moment his arm was pulled away by the man behind him.
Jerry was puzzled, and turned around to look at Daniel.
"Just mind your steps." The man simply spoke out four simple words.
"..." Jerry felt speechless, and so did Janet.
The apartment's door was then opened, and again, Daniel said to Janet, "I hope that you can figure things out."
Janet stopped walking, and Jerry also stopped and stood still while staring at his sister, whose lips were slightly curled up. He asked, "What things haven't you figured out? If it's about Sabina Fan, the woman who Sally already told me about, then stay here."
Jerry knew about Sabina Fan, and to Daniel she was now just an old memory. Jerry thought that it was common for anyone to have a first lover, or an ex-girlfriend.
It was not reasonable for Jane to keep haggling over these small, trivial th
"Who does she think she is? I won't marry her even if she is the last woman on earth, " said Hiram Rong.
"Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won't be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement, " said Rachel Ruan.
Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...
lthough Jane didn't understand Daniel's purpose for still keeping the relationship with Kate, Jerry could.
"If Daniel's really not treating you well, I won't say another good word for him, and I will even forbid you from meeting him ever again." Jerry tried his best efforts to persuade his sister. He simply hoped that his sister would not have to miss a good man who really treated her well.
Looking outside of the car's window, Janet curled her lips, and said, "Brother, I have never said that he treated me bad. Actually, he has treated me really good... Okay! Forget it! Just let me think about it!"
'But no, Daniel treated me bad today. He should have said 'up to me' today in the office!' thought Janet.
"Okay, then who told you about Sabina Fan, and how did you know about her?" asked Jerry. Jerry felt suspicious. As he already knew, no one had ever mentioned about Sabina after she had broken up with Daniel. He now wondered how his sister had come to know about her.
Janet gloomily opened her mouth, and said, "Kate was the one who told me about her. She said that Daniel had chosen her to be his girlfriend because she resembled Sabina in appearance. And Kate also said that Daniel didn't love me at all, and that he's just forced by his father and mother, and that he had no choice but to hook up with me..."
Janet didn't hide anything from her brother, and told him about everything.
Speechless, Jerry tittered and took a look at his sister, and said, "You are so stupid to let Kate's words have such a bad impact on you. You should've known that she always takes you as her enemy, and she told you about all of this just to stir up trouble between you and Daniel. Unfortunately, you fell into her trap."
