Billionaire's Sweetheart

Chapter 892

Jane returns from failure and hid in the room, feeling very gloomy and miserable. She looked at herself in the mirror.

In terms of looks, she did not lose to Felicity in any way, but why did Edward seem to dislike her even if he looked at her?

She really couldn't accept it!

When John knocked on the door, Jane thought that a servant had come to urge her to go downstairs to eat dinner, so she said loudly with a bad tone: "I told you not to bother me, I don't want to eat anything, go away!"

"It's me!"

Jane was shocked, but quickly walked over and opened the door. John frowned as he looked at her: "Why are you sneaking out and sulking?"

"Daddy, he hates me!" Jane's face was filled with sorrow.

John snorted lightly: "I had already guessed it already, Edward is not a romantic man, he is extremely devoted, on this point, I think he should fight it out with his father."

"You mean uncle?" Jane did not have a lot of memories about Edward's father, and John had never told her anything about him, so when she heard him, she was shocked.

John taunted: "That's right, his father, had also loved a woman back then, but unfortunately, he is not

as lucky as his son. Back then, he was arranged to marry into a business marriage and was forced to marry Edward's mother. My elder brother is a good man, but a failed marriage led to his tragedy." Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Hearing this, Jane frowned, and asked curiously: "Daddy, did uncle really die in a car accident? What a pity that he died so young!"

"Is it a pity?" John suddenly turned around, and coldly swept his eyes across her face: "If he doesn't die, then when is it my turn to take over the company?"

After Jane heard this, her entire body shivered, and she stared blankly at the cold and furious John Hughes.

"Daddy, I… I didn't mean anything else, I just felt that he deserved to die, who asked him to keep denying your entering the company, the God must have felt that he went too far, and wanted to punish him!" Jane immediately changed her words. Under John's teachings, she was already a very tactful woman. Flattery blurted out her mouth easily.

"Your words have to go through your head first in the future, do you understand?" John immediately glared at her sternly.

Jane hurriedly nodded in apology, "Daddy, I spoke too much just now, don't be angry. In the future, I definitely won't dare to speak carelessly and make you angry."

John liked Jane's docile attitude. Only then did his expression relax: "Alright, go down to eat. Don't be hungry!"

"Daddy, I can't eat!" Jane was so full of angry now, there was no taste at all.

"You really have no future!" John scolded: "If a man can make you lose your will, how can you follow your father and do anything big in the future?"

Jane's body trembled again. She did not dare to continue with the hunger strike, and could only follow him downstairs.

On the morning of the second day, Edward personally called John Hughes to invite him for lunch, and John happily agreed.

It had been five years since they saw each other again. One of them had spent his days in prison while the other held power. They had met again with a smile on their faces and a knife in their eyes. But they are truly uncle and nephew.

No matter when he saw Edward again, the bottom of John's heart gave birth to a hint of fear.

This kind of feeling was not because Edward's words gave him a sense of danger, but rather, it was because the imposing aura of a king gave off from his body, causing him to instinctively feel that he were a level lower, and that he were causing trouble. This kind of feeling was really bad, and it pressured John to the point that his entire body felt uncomfortable.

The one who came with him, of course, was Jane. Her clothes today, still carried a little bit of the aura of a profession. Her long hair hung down to her shoulders, and on her pure face, there was a little bit of rouge.

Compared to the past her, who liked to put on heavy makeup, she had more of a youthful aura. She did

not attract Edward's attention, but the attention of some other men.

The place Edward booked, also showed how rich and imposing he was.

Inside the seven-star private room, he ordered a table full of delicious food, and after careful calculation, this meal was no less than a million!

Such a noble treatment made John even more uncomfortable, and he felt that he had to bow in front of others.

"Uncle, please sit!" Edward was very polite, and his tone was full of courtesy.

This kind of cultivation and bearing once again struck John unknowingly. This was because he had never had this kind of manner before, so when he saw others emitting it, he felt a sense of inferiority.

"Edward, after not seeing me for a few years, you have grown more mature and have more charisma. No wonder Jane is so infatuated with you, like she's a nymphomaniac." John immediately laughed.

Jane raised her beautiful eyes, and upon seeing Edward's pair of deep eyes, she shyly lowered her head and blushed.

She didn't know why, but in front of other men, Jane could still be considered a queen. However, in front of Edward, she was like a little girl, and didn't even dare to look him in the eyes.

"Heh, Uncle sure knows how to joke. I've always taken care of Jane as a brother!" Edward didn't want to fall into people's trap, so, no matter the occasion, his words would always be reasonable and proper.

Hearing the word "brother", Jane's face looked as if she had been slapped in the face, changing from red to pale time to time.

Was Edward really only taking care of her like siblings?

No, there was definitely more than that. Jane believed that the young Edward had definitely loved and been infatuated with her like a lover before. She was very sure of that.

John nodded with a smile, "You two are siblings after all. Even though Jane is my adopted daughter and there is no blood relationship between the two of you, seniority cannot be messed up!"

Edward let out a cold laugh in his heart. Since seniority cannot be disrupted, why did he drug him back then? Was he trying to let everyone know that he was like a beast that wouldn't even let his own sister go in front of the media?

This move was truly sinister and vicious.

Jane never thought that John would keep using her and Edward's relationship as they spoke. Her face had already turned pale white, and her hands under the table tightly clenched, feeling extremely heartbroken.

"You really can't mess around. Just like how uncle treated my dad, I’ve always heard my dad say that you two have a good relationship with each other!" Edward very naturally changed the topic and brought up with John Hughes and Leonard Hughes.

John's face instantly froze. Although he was still smiling, that smile had a hint of cracking.

"When I talk about my brother, I feel deeply pained. He has always treated me very well, but I haven't even seen him for the last time." John immediately had a face full of sorrow, filled with countless emotions.

"After my dad was sent to the hospital, he woke up for half an hour and said a lot of things to me!" Edward suddenly opened his mouth again, with these words, John's entire body went numb, and his blood froze.
