"Mr. Si, I have nothing else to say. It has been said that you are a bad man. Now I know for sure that you certainly are."
"Poe Yi, I will remember what you did to me, " said Daniel in a cold tone.
Poe felt regret, but he still nerved himself up to say, "Mr. Si, I sent my daughter to your bed to please you. Allow my company to join the Shuntian Project. If our two companies cooperate, we can maximize the profit."
As Daniel kept silent, Poe continued, "My daughter Ivanka was a virgin. But Mr. Si, you don't have to worry about that. I hope you had a happy night. It's okay if you don't want to take the responsibility for sleeping with my daughter. Just allow my company to join the Shuntian Project."
A happy night? His Jane was missing. How could he be happy?
"Poe, you bastard! I will destroy you, " said Daniel with his teeth clenched. After saying this, Daniel hung up the phone.
'If I don't let Poe pay for this, I, Daniel, do not deserve to be called a man.'
Until evening, there was no news about Janet. Every available person had set out to search for Janet. If they couldn't find her, they would be forced to call the police.
At around nine o'clock, Shirley walked toward home with takeout as she rubbed her sore neck.
Just as she took the key out of her handbag, she saw a figure curled up at the head of the stairs. It startled her.
"Shirley!"
The familiar voice allowed her to feel some relief.
"Janet, what are you doing here? Come on in, " Shirley opened the door quickly and led Janet who was a mess into the living room.
"Do you know that everyone went all out to find you?" Shirley closed the door and let Janet sit on the sofa.
Janet's dazed eyes fell on Shirley. She repeated, "Shirley!"
She muttered 'Shirley' again and again and didn't say anything else.
After looking at her pale face, Shirley felt very sorry for her. Then she sat beside Janet and asked, "Janet, what happened to you?"
Daniel had been angry all day at his company. Many strangers came in and out of his office.
The public relations manager of his company was busy dealing with a certain issue on the internet. But Janet didn't know what on earth the issue was.
Janet leaned quietly on Shirley's shoulder. She didn't know how to tell Shirley what happened. All the happiness and joy vanished at the very moment she found out that Daniel had betrayed her.
'I trusted Daniel so much that I wouldn't give up loving him until I witness him betraying me.
It turns out that all his loving words are worthless.
He can't keep himself away from other women for three months. He even claimed that he was not with Kate.'
"Maybe what Kate said is true. Daniel never loved me. He is forced by his Father and Mother to date me, " murmured Janet. "But I have felt his genuine love. Maybe his heart is overflowing with love that he can give to a couple of women at the same time. Maybe he is a womanizer. He, Daniel, can play with different women whenever he wishes to. Nobody can stop him."
Shirley knew what she meant and asked, "Did you have a quarrel with him?"
Janet shook her head and replied, "We didn't even have a quarrel. His action proves that he doesn't love me at all. Even if he loves me, he still fools around with other woman. So ultimately, he doesn't love me."
"Janet, what did you see? Did you see Daniel hang out with another woman? He is not that type of guy. What's wrong?"
When Janet thought of the scene she saw in the morning, her face turned pale. 'Nobody deserves to feel such pain. You see your lover sleep with other woman not long after he said he loves you, proposed to you, and wanted to go with you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for a marriage license.'
"It feels like being thrown into hell from the heaven. My heart is unbearably aching that I want to dig it out of my body, " Tears were trickling down Janet's cheek.
It was the first time she cried since this morning.
