Ella took her daughter's hand into hers, and said, "Jane, I' not forcing you in any way. If you really don't want to be with Daniel, then don't. I just read his comment in your Weibo profile. Well, it seems that Daniel doesn't hate you after all. He just doesn't... know how to express himself."
Daniel was just as cold as his father, in both personality and expressiveness. They were, genetically speaking, nearly 90% alike.
When she heard that Daniel didn't hate her after all, Janet's face suddenly flushed red. What was wrong with her? Unless...
"I know, mom," replied Janet.
Ella talked with her daughter for a while longer and then went back to her bedroom.
"Have you talked to her?" Samuel hugged his wife.
Ella nodded: "I don't think Jane hates Daniel. On the contrary, I think she really likes him."
She could tell by the fact that Janet's face had turned red when she spoke to her about Daniel.
"You're to blame for all of this. Why do you still insist that the two be together? Daniel is just like Harry, and you know very well how Lola suffered because of him!" He wouldn't let his little girl suffer in any way. If she were to find the one she really loved, he wouldn't have cared if he was either rich or poor.
When Samuel was done talking, Ella remained silent. She pushed his arm away and turned her back to him.
After all these years of living together, he knew what would happen if he disagreed, and so Samuel sighed, and said: "I am sorry, dear. Let's make it happen then!"
He hugged Ella again and coaxed her.
"I'm not saying that the two must be together. Just think, wouldn't it be better to marry our Jane to someone that lives nearby?" asked Ella. Leroy Manor was nearby, but Daniel's mansion here was even nearer.
"Okay, okay, you're right. We'll marry her to someone that lives nearby, and if Daniel ever dares to bully her, I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget."
"That's what I said. They could give it a try, and if it won't work I'm not going to push them to do it." Ella had felt wronged and now looked at her husband. Samuel laughed, and thought that although she was almost 50, she still acted like a child.
Samuel kissed her, and said, "Sleep well. We'll have to choose first a convenient wedding date for Jerry and Sally."
"Okay."
At the SL Group
A girl in a white short coat, navy blue shirt, jeans and canvas shoes, and who was carrying her backpack, walked through the company's gates.
She swiped her phone and looked at Kate's live report and saw that Kate speaking in an interview: "Miss Song, are you really CEO Si's girlfriend?"
"Miss Song, when did you and CEO Si first start dating?"
"Greeting Miss Song, according to someone, you once slept in CEO Si's villa. Is that true?"
...
Upon hearing the interviewer's questions, Kate wasn't nervous at all, but on the contrary, she acted properly, and said, "Thank you for your attention. We are fine now, and if there will be any other good news, I will inform all of you immediately. Thank you."
She didn't admit anything, but she also didn't deny, which made people question what was happening even more.
Kate was heading towards the company when the reporters assaulted her with their questions. She didn't say goodbye to them until she arrived the main entrance of the building.
