Chapter 109 Their plot
Hearing Jane’s voice, everyone looked at her.
She was wearing a night suit and an overcoat. She was thin and weak but her eyes were shining with a fierce light.
Edwin Carter’s heart sank. How long has she been here? How much did she hear?
"Jane, you must have misunderstood dad. We should sit down and have a talk." Jonathan Ronan didn’t think about what Jane had heard or maybe anything had hurt her. He just immediately put on his good father’s face.
"I don’t have anything to talk to a person like you. You are a murderer. You’d better get out of here and don’t come in front of me again." Jane didn’t think she had anything to say to such a father.
When she saw Jonathan Ronan, her mind flashed back the moment when she saw her mother lying in the ice coffin.
Her mother was dead, but Jonathan Ronan still tried to use her. She was not allowed to see her mother. If she has the option, she never chooses this man’s blood to flow in her veins. She wanted to punish him for what he did to her mother.
"Jane..."
In fact, he wasn’t here to change Jane’s mind. His main purpose was to show Edwin Carter that he possesses a very important position in Jane’s life. If he has placed in Jane’s heart he can have a position in Edwin Carter’s eyes and he can use his position and identity to make any request to Edwin Carter.
"Get lost!" Jane’s voice trembled. She pointed to the door and roared.
"That’s how you talk to your father? You have found a man with more money and now you didn’t even want to recognize your father? Just two days have passed, and you are treating your father like this. Aren’t you afraid to hurt your mother’s heart?"
He knew it very well that the topic of her mother’s death can deeply hurt her. That’s why Jonathan Ronan deliberately tore her wound to make her feel more pain and he will be satisfied to see her in pain.
Edwin Carter went over and held Jane. He looked at Sienna and left a sentence, "Sienna Henry, clean the mess."
"Jane, you will never get rid of the fate that you are the children of Ronan’s family. You can’t escape." Jonathan Ronan was shouting.
"Mr. Jonathan, I’ve seen all sorts of shameless people over the years. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone as disgusting as you." Sienna Henry looked at Jonathan Ronan and said rudely.
"You’re just a dog of Edwin Carter." Jonathan Ronan said angrily.
"Even if I am just a dog, even a dog stays loyal to its master and what about you? You are worse than an animal." Sienna Henry said and made a pose to say get out.
Jonathan Ronan understood that he didn’t use Jane for his purposes. He had to find another way. He immediately thought of his daughter, Sophie, who was at the same university with Edwin Carter. They knew each other.
If Edwin Carter can fell in love with a woman like Jane who really has a stubborn temper. It cannot be much difficult for Sophie to move Edwin Carter’s heart. In Jonathan Ronan’s opinion, Sophie only needed to use some means and Edwin Carter will definitely become the second Christopher Greyson.
...
Jane was forced to return to her room by Edwin Carter. She coughs violently. She hated herself, but it was of no use to hate herself. She hated that she can’t do anything about Jonathan Ronan.
"Jane." Edwin Carter hugged her and tried to comfort her but she couldn’t hear anything. She pushed him away fiercely.
She knew she shouldn’t be angry with Edwin Carter, but she couldn’t control her temper.
"Just be calm." Edwin Carter patted her on the back and said, "Mother doesn’t want to see you like this. You need to be brave."
Jane listens to him and suddenly calmed down and smiled at Edwin Carter. "I’m tired. I want to sleep."
Edwin Carter held Jane softly and stared at her for a moment. Then he held her tightly in his arms, "Jane, speak it out."
Jane bowed her head and said nothing.
Edwin Carter pinched her chin and asked her to look up. She closed her eyes again and murmured, "I’m sleepy."
Edwin Carter knew that she was not willing to speak up in front of him, but he let her go, "Take rest."
"Um." With a gentle reply, Jane returned to bed and lay down, her were eyes fixed on the ceiling.
"Jane," Edwin Carter sat down beside her and called her name but she didn’t respond. Her eyes seemed to be fixed on the ceiling.
Edwin Carter softly touched her face and asked her to look at him: "Jane, I’m here, don’t be afraid."
"Well," Jane smiled softly, "I’m ok, don’t worry."
After that, she looked at the ceiling and stared at it. Edwin Carter called her again, but she didn’t hear it. She said that she was fine, but Edwin Carter knew that she was not fine. He turned her head again and lowered his head to kiss her.
She closed her eyes and sighed softly, "I’m tired."
Edwin Carter sighs helplessly, pulled the quilt and covered her, "Sleep."
...
Jonathan Ronan went back to his house and almost spent the whole day thinking about how to convince Sophie to get close to Edwin Carter. Sophie still held the title of Christopher Greyson’s fiancée, and she cannot do anything against their will.
He can’t say it directly to Sophie to lure Edwin Carter. He has to find a way to let Sophie go by herself so that he can better control her and only use her for personal benefits. He was thinking about it when Christopher Greyson came to visit him.
Christopher Greyson looked at him and smiled, "Uncle Jonathan Ronan, you went to meet Leon Carter. How does it go? Would Jane still want to see you? "
Jonathan Ronan looked at Christopher Greyson and said after a long time, "You have caused this mess. You should be very clear about the consequences."
Christopher Greyson sat down, picked up his cup, poured a cup of tea and said, "I also heard that Sophie and Edwin Carter were alumni in the United States and they had contact with each other. To approach Edwin Carter, I think there is no more suitable person than her."
"So you are willing to let Sophie get close to Edwin Carter?" Jonathan Ronan was worried about how to talk to Greyson’s about that. Christopher Greyson also has this idea, now things will be much easier.
"Why not?" Christopher Greyson replied.
For him, Sophie was no more than a tool to satisfy his physical desires. At this time, she can be of some use. Why not make the best of it? Gu’s stock was still falling rapidly. If Edwin Carter didn’t change his mind, his future will be ruined.
Christopher Greyson didn’t have much time. He had to act as soon as possible.
