Daniel listened closely to what Janet had said just now, and what he cared about the most was that he heard the woman personally admit that she was dating two men at the same time. He then moved forward and quickly grasped Janet by the wrist.
To everyone's amazement, Daniel, with a gloomy face, dragged Janet away.
When Shirley saw what had just happened, she seemed to understand something. 'So, the CEO that Janet loves is actually Daniel...' she thought.
He was, indeed, an excellent man, and even Janet, who was already a rich young lady, was attracted by his charm and elegance.
"Shirley, maybe Janet won't be coming back tonight; I'll arrange for a room upstairs, and you can spend the night here, " said Jerry. He politely looked at Shirley, and thought that as his sister had left, he should be the one responsible for finding her a place to sleep.
Shirley, who was lost in thought just now, heard him and then nodded at Jerry. "Thank you, Jerry, "
After she waved to Doris, who still stood rooted to the ground with shock, Shirley followed Jerry and walked with him up to the hotel service desk.
At the Waterside Apartment
Janet was pulled by Daniel out of the car, went upstairs and entered the large bedroom...
There were a lot of stuff lying around in the bedroom, such as dolls, several sets of four-piece suits, and some skin care products that come from a famous brand.
Janet broke away from Daniel's grasp and then sprang at the dolls on the bed. She then happily held one of the dolls in her arms and anxiously rolled on the bed. "Daniel, I forgive you now!" she said.
The CEO, who had been very furious earlier, hearing these words ended up being a lot less angry now.
He took something out of his pocket, clasped Janet's hand and then placed it into her palm.
"You'd better take back your words - "dating two men at the same time." Otherwise, Janet Shao, I have to punish you!" warned Daniel. He knew that Janet didn't have any sort of intimate relationship with Brian, but he was still very angry with her.
Janet was surprised to see the bead in her hand; she sat on the bed, kissed it, and then put it safely into her pocket.
She didn't dwell upon the subject that Daniel asked her to make an apology, and instead took out her phone and called Jerry. "Jerry, where's Shirley?"
She thought that it was Daniel's fault for dragging her out of the hotel all of a sudden, and that she had forgot all about Shirley.
"She was accommodated at the hotel for the night." Jerry talked with Janet on the phone while he drove his car.
"Oh, okay! Also, where is my luminous pearl?" asked Janet. When Daniel took a step forward, Janet took another step back.
Jerry, when he glanced at the luminous pearl brocade box, snickered, and replied, "I saw that you like it very much, and I believe that Sally must also like it. So, from now on, it belongs to my wife!"
When she heard him, Janet immediately screamed in the phone, "Jerry, how could you do this? Do you only care about your wife and ignore me instead? Give me back my pearl..."
"It doesn't matter if I ignore you, it's enough if Daniel cares about you. And you should restrain your temper now! Otherwise, Daniel will punish you!" said Jerry. He had thought that Daniel would manage to rein in on her bad temper, but it didn't seem like that at all. Since Jane had gotten together with Daniel, she got angry more easily...
Even if she had challenged Daniel in public for several times already, Daniel had permitted her...
"No, I won't control my temper! If my temper becomes mellow, he'll bully me!" argued Janet. She also thought of what happened tonight, and believed that if she had a good temper and didn't utter a word or resist him, perhaps Daniel would've taken Kate back to his apartment tonight, instead of her.
Now there was nowhere for her to escape, and so she was finally pressed on the bed by Daniel.
Jerry smiled over the phone, and asked, "Are you all right now?"
Janet, who was pressed on the bed by Daniel's chest, nodded, and said, "Jerry, I'm fine. Daniel bought me many dolls, and I'm going to hold all of them in my sleep!"
While driving his car, Jerry was a little bit confused, and wondered if Daniel was actually controlled by his sister. 'Oh no. Don't be controlled by Janet!' he thought. He always hoped that there was someone out there who could control his sister, not the other way around!
