Chapter 66 Scratch the Old Scars
Jane did not want to have anything to do with him. She kept sitting and said, "But I do not want to listen."
"Do you want me to let Edwin Carter lie down and threw him out from here?" Christopher Greyson spoke such a sentence, turned around and left.
"You!" Christopher Greyson’s threat immediately broke Jane’s morale and she thought of Christopher Greyson’s character that he can do what he said. She couldn’t imagine what Christopher Greyson would do with Edwin Carter. She didn’t want to risk Edwin Carter’s reputation. So she had to go against her will.
The banquet hall was on the second floor. There was a balcony next to the resting hall. The light was not very good there. Christopher Greyson had seen this place for a long time. That’s why he brought Jane here.
Jane looked around, although the balcony light was dim but from time to time someone passes by, Christopher Greyson should not dare to harm her.
Christopher Greyson turned back and looked at her from top to bottom, "Now you look more beautiful."
He thought of it as a touching or romantic sentence but for her he was disgusting.
She wanted to turn around and leave, but she was worried about what Christopher Greyson could do to Edwin Carter. She had to listen to him even if she was willing to let Christopher Greyson looked at her.
Seeing that Jane’s response was cold, Christopher Greyson’s anger rises again. He couldn’t help sneering, "Edwin Carter is just a president of small innovative technology, and many people can put him on the bottom of their feet. Don’t be so naive to think that if he can take you to this dinner party, he’s a man from the upper class."
Jane never thought it was good to be an upper-class person. She just wanted to live in peace far away from betrayal and painful memories. Now she wants to live in peace with Edwin Carter.
Seeing that Jane didn’t contradict, Christopher Greyson thought that he had already convinced her. So he said with even more effort, "You should know that since Gu announced that he would no longer cooperate with innovation, many companies are reluctant to cooperate with innovation. Why is that? Because innovation can never be compared with Gu’s, I can trample Edwin Carter under my feet. "
She doesn’t care about Edwin’s identity. No matter what identity he has, for her the only thing that matters was that Edwin Carter was her husband. Even if Christopher Greyson was right, compared with Gu’s, the financial strength of innovation was indeed more, but what she does with that? For her, Christopher Greyson’s character and knowledge compared with Edwin Carter was below average.
Jane didn’t answer him. Christopher Greyson realized that he had not convinced her and now she didn’t care about him at all. He can’t help clenching his fist and sneering, "Do you know that your sister Sophie Ronan has also come to Jiangbei. Did your father ask her to come here?"
Suddenly she heard some hard to forget names. Her heartfelt pain and became astringent. The past cannot stop floating in front of us.
Jane still remembered that day. When her sister cried like a child and knelt down in front of her to beg for forgiveness, saying that she should not have a relationship with Christopher Greyson and she shouldn’t let their parents find out.
Gu’s parents and her father couldn’t see the pain in Jane’s heart. They just rushed to protect Sophie. What they said, Jane didn’t remember very clearly. But she only remembers Christopher’s mother saying, "Sophie, you are pregnant. Even if you don’t care about yourself, you still have to think about your child. "
At that time, Jane came to know that her sister and her fiancé are going to have a child. She unconsciously clenched the wedding dress design draft that she had just finished. She wanted to surprise Christopher Greyson by showing it. But she didn’t expect that they had a big surprise for her.
Later, she didn’t know-how. How she became the shameless person who tried to have an affair with her sister’s fiancé. She was scolded on the Internet and there were rumors everywhere about her. She didn’t even dare to go out.
"I know you don’t want to see her, but your blood is thicker than water. You can’t live without her." He was well aware of the pain in Jane’s heart. But he kept scratching her scars again and again.
"Sister? My sister died three years ago." They can do ridiculous things behind her back and later frame her like that. For her, those people have nothing to do with her. If at that time she didn’t consider Jane as her sister. Why would Jane call her sister?
"For you, your sister is dead?" Christopher Greyson looked at Jane and sneers, "But what about your mother? Is she being same as your sister?"
He spoke very slowly. Every word seemed to be poisoned. However, she felt that her heart was cramped, and she could not speak out a word.
Christopher Greyson added, "After you left the city, your mother stays very sad and got sick. She had been in the hospital bed for three years."
Suddenly she heard that her mother had been lying on the hospital bed for three years, and then she thought that her mother always touched her head when she was young and said, "Jane is our family’s most considerate child. Since childhood, you have always been the most obedient, and I have been sure you will become more understanding when you grow up."
Jane still remembered that when they plotted against her three years ago, her mother was helpless. Her mother loves her but there was no way. The weak and incompetent mother can only sit there and cry all night.
Her mother asked her father not to force her anymore. And also asked Christopher Greyson to let go of their sisters and his family members to let go, Jane...
Although her mother cried and begged them. Her eyes swollen and her voice became mute but no one helped her.
Jane left Kyoto in a mess.
Maybe the mother got sick because she thought that she couldn’t protect her daughter and that she thought of herself as useless.
Jane didn’t want to cry, but she was so sad that she shed some tears. She was her mother. She cherished her mother the most. Even though she didn’t stop them at that time but Jane still didn’t give her the blame.
"You also know about your family’s financial conditions. Your mother has been in the hospital for three years. Do you think your family afford it without the support of Grayson’s family?" Christopher Greyson continued. His every word stab in Jane’s heart.
In the past three years, she didn’t care about the two families, and almost cut off all contact with Kyoto, so she didn’t even know that her mother was ill. Jane can blame her father’s ruthlessness or Sophie’s acts, but she can’t blame her mother.
Jane tried to resist crying. Her body trembled. Christopher Greyson held her in her arms and patted her on the back, "Jenny, Jenny. Don’t be sad. You have me? No matter what happens, I will support you, always be at your side. "
Suddenly she was hugged by Christopher Greyson, and she struggled to push him away but he held her tighter. He blurted out the threat, "But if you don’t obey me. Just think about what I can do."
