With his arms folded across his chest, Croft raised his eyebrows, and asked, "You just thanked Uncle Boswell and Uncle Quiller, but why not me?"
In fact, he had been the most fervent against Janet at the earliest beginning, and believed that if a woman acted as the leader of the Tianye Men, many people wouldn't be satisfied with this, or obey her command.
Even if she was merely a nominal head, there were still some people who wouldn't accept a female leader.
Croft had been also the first to take his men and oppose Janet, from time to time.
Caspar had told him not to do that for many times, but he still didn't listen to him.
When Janet had been once kidnapped, he had personally witnessed that Janet was not only broad-minded and unflappable, but had also greatly considered the overall situation that she was in. Following that event, he had started to change his opinion of her.
Besides, she had always kept a low profile and also had the cute twins, and Croft gradually began to like her and her two daughters. He even took Janet's twins as his sworn daughters.
Of course! He had liked her just like a big brother, and treated her as a sister. He hadn't been as foolish as Caspar had been, because he would have never liked a woman who had already another man in her heart.
Croft's words amused Janet, and she naughtily replied, "Croft, no words can express my gratitude to your exceptional kindness! You must understand my gratitude!"
In the beginning, she could feel that Croft had disliked her and had been a little sad, but she quickly thought positive. She didn't care whether Croft liked her or not because, after all, he wasn't Daniel.
Afterwards, Croft had always helped Janet in his quiet way, and Sherry had also saved her life...
Everyone in the Tianye Men had given her a lot of help.
Croft patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Take good care of my sworn daughters!"
"I will!" replied Janet. She would not only take good care of her twins, but also try her best to stabilize the relationship between her and Daniel, and let Daniel know of the existence of his other daughter as early as possible.
Um... Maybe she would give him a surprise on his birthday. When she thought of this, Janet snickered...
After she formally gave the Tianye Men token back to Dillon, Janet felt more relieved. But even so, she decided to return to C Country when Caspar almost recovered from his injuries.
Before she headed to the hotel, Janet went to Caspar's house and took all of her stuff first.
With the experience she went through this morning, Janet kept vigilant at all times when she was in Z Country. She wasn't afraid of Hobson, but she feared... the man who had kept her locked up for six months.
The public security in Z Country wasn't as safe as it was back C Country. She had personally seen a quarrel between two gangs, with a lot of people being killed during the struggle, but this sort of thing hadn't been investigated, and in turn none of them were arrested.
When she got back to the hotel and saw Daniel talking on the phone, Janet suddenly felt relieved.
After the bodyguard placed her luggage on one side of the room, he quickly left.
With his phone in his hand, Daniel walked up to Janet and kissed her mouth. After that, he continued to speak on the phone, "I know. Colin, auntie called me just the other day and asked me to persuade you not to stay in America because it's so far away from home. That's why I want you to come to Z Country and take over the new company branch."
Janet then went to pour herself a glass of water, and after she took a sip out of it, a gift box was placed in front of her.
"Well, I will transfer half of my shares and half of A Country's branch's shares to you. You don't have to start a business."
Wendy had wanted Colin to come back to C Country and settle down earlier, but Colin had stayed in America for three years, and didn't seem to have any plans to go back.
While Daniel was talking on the phone, he gave Janet the tip to open the box.
After Janet opened it, she found a pink phone inside it. It was the newest mobile phone that the SL Group had just released, and many people, coming from the richest families, had rushed to the stores to buy it.
Her phone was decorated with several rare, round, pink coloured diamonds.
