After Being Cheating

By now, Daniel had made up his mind on what he had to do.

"You'd better ask me. I know more." A man's severe cold voice rose behind the reporters and saved Janet from breaking down in a flood of tears and frustration.

During these moments Janet saw Daniel like a charming prince, riding on a white horse, coming straight to her rescue.

When they saw Daniel, the reporters instantly dropped Janet and turned to him instead. Soon, Daniel was also assailed by the reporters.

Daniel was cold, but confident in his attitude. He answered every one of the sharp questions the reporters launched at him without even blinking or changing his expression.

He and Kate had something in common indeed, which were confidence, generosity, frankness and simplicity.

However, Daniel was too straightforward, and he threw out a reply which stunned all the present reporters: "Kate is my girlfriend. As for Janet, her parents are my sworn parents. She is more like a sister to me.

The security guards finally came and prevented the reporters from asking further questions.

Daniel and Spark walked together into the company, protected by the security guards.

As he passed by Janet, who was now dumbfounded, he casually said to her, " Go now. Do you want to be devoured by these annoying reporters?"

Janet finally came to her senses and started keeping up the pace with Daniel and Spark.

She didn't even notice that she had stepped into the CEO's private elevator.

Spark looked at Daniel and waited for an order. Daniel then cast a glance at him and then Spark pressed the button for the 88th floor.

In just a few minutes, Daniel and Kate had been become the top trends on Weibo. Their names had become viral on all search engines.

The whole morning, Janet was completely lost at what Daniel had said in front of the reporters, "As for Janet, her parents are my sworn parents. She is more like a sister to me."

Since Kate Song's name had been such a hot search topic, some netizens soon dug out her engagement to Leon Feng.

As Kate's father read the breaking news, he immediately called Leon to break off the engagement.

Though he was very angry, Leon became silent on hearing what Kate's father had to say: "Do you dare steal Mr. Si's girlfriend?"

Leon didn't want to ruin his future, and he sure would not bite more than he could chew. Therefore, if he was ever asked something about the engagement, he would deny it completely.

Kate and Daniel's relationship now had become public, and she successfully broke off her engagement to Leon. Having this burden lifted, Kate was now feeling light as a feather, like she walking on air. As she was now feeling in such a good mood, she decided not to lower herself to Janet's level.

At the Leroy Manor, Lola trembled with anger at her son. The news came like a slap in her face. Her son had now completely lost Jane, forever.

How would she explain this to Samuel and Ella!

"Honey, stay calm, don't be mad," said Harry. He put down his newspaper and consoled his angry wife as best as he could.

"Harry, just look at your 'clever' son and what he just did, I... I'm never going to forgive him!"

Lola banged her hand on the table and immediately decided what she should do next.

Harry stepped towards his wife and then held her by the waist, "Don't worry," he began, "Daniel must know what he is doing. Why don't we give him a chance and wait and see."

What was done could not be undone. Lola and Harry had swapped their positions. Harry, who used to be so strict with his son, now had to speak for him in front of his mother, who used to often forgive him and generally be a lot softer with him.

"Wait and see? Everyone now knows that Kate is Daniel's girlfriend now. Do you want to wait until she becomes your daughter-in-law? Would you be happy then?" Lola could not restrain her anger any longer. She loathed on taking another woman other than Jane as being her daughter-in-law.

Harry shook his head, "Jane is better than Kate. I too hope she eventually ends up with Daniel." They had seen Jane grow up from the little girl she was in her childhood, to the grown woman she was now. Certainly they knew best about her.

"Exactly, but we have to do something about this! "Daniel is 25 years old; he is still young and hasty. What if he gets Kate pregnant? If this happens, we won't be able to do nothing about it." Lola's worries made sense. However, Harry had another perspective on things.

He had faith in his son.

He walked his wife to the couch and explained to her carefully, "Look, they haven't seen each other for 7 or 8 years. Is that right?"

Lola nodded. When he was a student, Daniel still had that teenage restlessness.

"To my knowledge, Kate met Daniel four years ago on a fashion show, in which I am not going into details. The point is, in the four years that passed up until now, Daniel has kept Kate away. There were many chances for them to get together, but Kate has still never been to Daniel's mansion.

And as for Jane? She hasn't seen Daniel for 7 or maybe 8 years. But she crossed paths with him as soon as she returned from the USA. They kind of re-acquainted with each other, right?

On the very first night they had seen each other again after all these years, Samuel called and told us that Daniel had kissed Jane.

And on the other night, didn't Daniel take Jane to his mansion? I also asked Sven about what really happened that late night.

And according to Sven, Daniel asked Spark to drive Kate home. As for Jane, she was too drunk and unconscious, and Daniel took her to his villa. On the second morning, we already knew that Jane had slept over at Daniel's."

Harry's explanation gradually calmed Lola down.

"Maybe they haven't realized their affection to one another. It's a transitional period. Every couple is faced with transition and adjustment periods. If we push them too hard, they will eventually rebel on one another. You know how your son is. He never listens to us," said Harry.

All right! What Harry said did, indeed, make a whole lot of sense. Lola felt immediately more relieved.

"What should we do next?" asked Lola.

"Next? We just take a firm stand and watch, " answered Harry.

Lola shook her head and shook her head, "What if Kate is as vicious as Yolanda and Catherine were? Jane will be utterly screwed then."

And, indeed, Lola was right. A jealous woman is horrible.

On a second thought, Harry added, "We'll keep Kate far away from Jane. Samuel also has the bodyguards protect Jane. And if you still worry about her, I'll have more guards put on duty to protect her." "All right, well, there is no better way." Lola secretly sighed. What had just happened wore her out almost completely.

She was done talking about Daniel, and now she had to worry about Nicole, "Well, Sally is getting married, but nothing's happening with Nicole! She's in her late 20's and still hasn't got a boyfriend." Nicole was actually the one she was worried most about.

"Don't worry about it. Just let it be. I'm her father, and I can take care of her if she ever needs me in the future. Just take it easy. Nicole needs time to find the one she really loves. Give her a break, she'll pull through."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
