Children from the Hoyle Family had their own talents. For example, Alan was good at business, Aoba could draw without a teacher, and when Ada was twelve, she knew how to design a beautiful little dress for herself.
And Annie seemed to be an all-rounder. As long as it was something she wanted to learn, there was nothing she couldnât do. Except for ABCD.
She said, âI havenât study Chinese well yet, so why ask me to study English?â
Olive was an easygoing person. If her daughter wasnât interested, she wouldnât force her. She thought that the child was still too young and her temperament was unstable. Happiness is the most important.
Childrenâs interests would change as they watched. What you hated now didnât mean you wouldnât like it in the future.
But Alan was a little worried. He wanted to pass on his business to this child. It wouldnât work if she didnât master a few foreign languages. It seemed that she needed more guidance.
Return to Kent Bai who locked Janetta in a room. This time, wrapped in a robe, he heard the sound of smashing things inside when he walked to the door. He couldnât help but laughed. This girl usually always acted gentle with others, but she was so emotional with him.
What Janetta was thinking was this hotel belonged to that bastard anyway and she had kindly come in overnight to celebrate his birthday, but looked at him, he had a night out with other woman instead.
Anyways, these were his things. It would be a shame not to break them. Who asked him to lock her here.
Kent stood outside the door and let her smash things. He only walked in after she vented to the point her energy was drained and her movement stopped.
âAre you happy now?â
Janetta leaned against the window, trying to climb over it. âDonât come over.â
Kentâs face shifted slightly, âJanetta, let me explain.â
Janetta covered her ears and shook her head, âI donât want to, I donât want to.â
âJanetta, youâre jealous,â Kent said confidently, smiling like a victory.
âDonât call my name. Youâre disgusting.â Janetta glared at him. She admitted that she was a little jealous, but she was hurt more. She felt like she was cheated by this bastard.
âJanetta, youâve misunderstood me. I have completely no relationship with that woman. If there is, it was because someone wanted to drug her last night and I just saved her. Liam likes her and I just want to bring them together. I definitely didnât do anything.â Whether she listened or not, this explanation was necessary. And he believed that she didnât really close her ears.
Women liked to say anything, but meant another. Sometimes he found it cute.
âI donât believe you,â she pressed each word.
âI canât steal my brotherâs woman. If I donât have that least of loyalty, how can I be their boss? Donât I even have this moral?â This woman didnât believe him so much that it hurt his devoted heart.
âDonât talk with me about moral. Youâre the most immoral person in the world. In order to get what you want, you use all kinds of despicable methods to force others doing things you donât want to do. Thatâs your usual trick. You think thereâs nothing in this world you canât get, right? You think thereâs nothing in this world you canât do, right? But you canât control feelings.â
âJanetta, youâre bias against me.â
âBias? Itâs because your man fell for that woman, so you gave her to your man as you wish. Did you ask her if she was willing? What else can you do besides forcing people?â
âI can still see through peopleâs hearts.â Kent quietly took a step closer to her amidst Janettaâs emotional outburst and hugged her with a pull, âJanetta, from what you just said, I know that youâve believed Iâm innocent, right?â
âLet me go, you scoundrel,â Janetta struggled hard. She didnât know if she really believed his flattery or couldnât get rid of his shadow in her heart. This man was a poison, slowly seizing her heart.
âOkay, okay. Iâm a scoundrel. Even if you donât believe this scoundrel, you would believe Alanâs right, right? Did they arrange for you to come?â
Janetta didnât answer him and twisted her body vigorously around his arms, just trying to break free from his hold.
Early in the morning was when a manâs hormone was at its peak. The warm sensation of touched skin sparked a reaction out of his body.
âUse your words and donât move.â
The sudden warning made Janettaâs body stiff. The strong manâs breath surrounded her with the aftertaste of alcohol which hadnât completely dissipated from last night. She felt something hard pressing against her abdomen. At once, she didnât dare to move again.
At this moment, the woman in his arms became much more honest, but she still refused to face him.
Kent took a deep breath, pressing down the urge, but he still unexpectedly carried her up.
Janetta felt her body suddenly lose its center of gravity and subconsciously hold on his robe, âWhat are you doing?â
Kent smiled and said, âOf course to take you to repay my innocence.â
âPut me down,â Janetta kicked the air.
âNope. Youâll run as soon as I do that.â Kent used brute force to hold her down. Her strength when she exploded wasnât small.
Unable to break free, Janetta said, âItâs not like I donât have my hands and feet. I can walk by myself.â
But Kent grew addicted in hugging her and refused to put her down. He kept carrying her back to his room.
At this time, Tiana had basically remembered the whole sequence. She was lucky she was rescued by good people from a group of hooligans, otherwise she didnât know what she was going to experience.
It was a night she didnât want to remember. Those people grabbed her and wanted to disrespect her.
Her fiancé sat next to her and a man usually would come forward at this moment, but this man, who said he would take care of her forever, didnât utter a word under the pressure of large number and sharp knives. He watched her struggling to resist and being forced to take a drug.
At that moment, she had completely lost hope on him. If she married such man, she would have no sense of security in the future. Her heart would be dead.
When leaving that mysterious place, a man named Liam once said to her, âDrew Martin isnât worthy of you. Sooner or later, youâll suffer if you stay with him.â
She never thought she would be this unfortunate.
Maybe she had known about Drewâs hidden inferiority, but she just refused to admit it. Now that she thought about it, her parentsâ opposition from the beginning may had been because they already saw through that Drew Martin wasnât a reliable person. It was just that she insisted on going on her own way. Only after she received a lesson did she understood.
Breaking up was inevitable.
But she didnât expect when this chaos hadnât gone downhill, a man called Liam, who blocked the knife for her on the plane and bandaged her wound, suddenly appeared in front of her. Before she could say anything about this surprise, the man just now, who hurriedly sprinted, had successfully brought back the woman who ran away, walking in while carrying her.
âLiam, Iâve saved the woman you like. Itâs up to you whether you can seize the chance.â
After he said that, he turned around with the woman in his arms.
Liam was blushing to the end of his ears. He hadnât even sure yet with his feelings, but his boss had exposed him. He suddenly felt a little awkward.
âHe always talks like that, donât mind him. I know you have a boyfriend. Donât worry, I wonât do anything to you. That time on the plane, you were braver than any other women, even than most men. So, I have good impression towards you, but no bad intention.â
Liam didnât want to cause the woman feeling uneasy. He hadnât figured out about his feelings, so he couldnât drag her down.
However, Tiana lowered her head and bit her lip. Thinking for a while, then she said to him, âIf I said we should try dating, would you think Iâm foolish?â
âNo. But are you sure? You donât need to do things you donât like because of his pressure.â
Liam thought that in matters of feelings, two people had to be compatible so they could be together for a long time, not going against oneâs will because of external forces. Although that man wasnât worthy of her, she didnât have to force herself to accept someone she didnât like under outsidersâ pressure.
Tiana nodded, then shook her again, âI donât know if Iâll fall for you then, but Iâm sure I donât hate you.â
She even ever dreamed of him, which puzzled her so much.
Kent walked out of the room, carrying Janetta, and walked straight to Alan and Oliveâs room. He kicked the door with his foot and shouted, âHoyle! Come out now!â
This floor wasnât open to public, so he didnât have to worry about disturbing other guests early in the morning.
Janetta felt that she wasnât a skinny person among girls with the same height as her, a bit chubby. She didnât know how big his arms which were carrying her and wouldnât put her down. His face didnât turn red and he wasnât breathless. His steps were steady. As if he was just carrying a bunch of cotton.
She felt embarrassed to disturb their slumbers early in the morning. Only Kent could do this dubious thing.
Olive was awakened by the knocking sound. She sat up at once and was about to get out of the bed, âWhatâs that sound?â
Alan frowned in displeased, stretching out his hand to pull her back. âGo back to sleep, Iâll go and check.â
When the door opened up, Kent was kicking his foot. The thing in front of him suddenly disappeared making Kent staggered forward.
It was fortunate that his years of experience in responding to impromptu allowed him to stand firm.
Janetta flushed to her ears with embarrassment and punched him in the chest with her first. âPut me down.â
Kent put her down, but still locked an arm around her waist so that she couldnât escape. âHoyle, tell this woman that there was nothing between me and that woman last night.â
To have his good time being disturbed in the morning upset Alan, âThis woman? That woman? You and that woman were alone in the same room. One, I didnât watch you guys. Two, I didnât put a camera in your room. How do I know if nothing happened?â
It could be said that Kent was experiencing what was called a betrayal from his best friend. Alan stirred up trouble, making the eyes of the woman, who already had an upset face on, in his arms turned green.
âHey, stop driving a wedge between us.â
Alan pretended to be innocent and said, âDid I? Iâm just stating a fact.â
