SWNOVELS Chapter 67 She Might Come Here to Catch That Man
Jane didn't ask Lainey to get anything for her. Instead, she went to a supermarket.
Lainey told her that there were some frozen meat, frozen dumplings, and wontons in the fridge. William barely cooked.
The stuff in the fridge was replaced regularly.
"Forget it. I'll buy some fresh ones!"
Jane pushed a cart and walked through the crowd.
Ada came out of a coffee shop and saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the supermarket.
"Jane!"
Ada immediately shouted.
Jane turned around and frowned. She was about to ignore it.
It was Jane!
Ada thought that she made a mistake. How could Mrs. Duncan, an arrogant lady, show up in a supermarket?
It was Jane indeed.
"Janie, why haven't you answered my phone lately?"
Even though Ada was angry, she approached Jane. Her husband had many mistresses. She finally married him mainly because she was good at socializing. Once her husband didn't need her, she would be kicked away since she had no children.
Men were attracted by beauty. But they also wanted to get someone who could help them. Otherwise, men would have only married beauties, instead of women from wealthy families.
Ada's parents were laid-off workers. She had a younger brother who was addicted to gambling. She sacrificed everything and fought for getting her position.
She met her younger brother just now, who had lost a few million, in a coffee shop.
Ada looked glorious. However, she could not make money on her own and only got living expenses from her husband. She could hardly give millions to her younger brother. She decided to ask for help from Jane.
"Janie, I called you as I need your help."
Ada pulled Jane's arm forlornly. Every time going shopping with Jane, she would ask Jane to buy her a brand new bag.
Everyone in the group knew that Jane was a fool.
Otherwise, no one would get along with Jane, who was arrogant. They just wanted to take advantage of her.
Hundreds of thousands were Ada's monthly allowance while it was not a large sum to Jane.
"You know my parents adore my younger brother and spoil him. He has owned millions of loan sharks."
Ada's younger brother didn't borrow millions at first. Yet, the interest ran up.
Tomorrow was the due day. Loan sharks threatened to cut off one of her younger brother's hands if he did not pay back.
Ada was helpless and had been trying to contact Jane.
"Janie, help me. I will pay you back in the future."
Ada begged Jane. She had taken advantage of her before. This was the first time she asked to borrow money.
Millions were a large sum to her while it was only a diamond necklace to Jane.
"If loan sharks will cut off your brother's hand, you should call the police."
Jane raised her eyebrows. She had heard something about Ada's background.
Ada had to support her family and cleaned up all her brother's mess.
Ada was brought into a patriarchal family. She was hypocritical and greedy. She was always satisfied with her family whatever they asked for. Ada was a cash cow and she didn't feel anything wrong.
"I can't call the police. My younger brother would be put into jail because of gambling!"
It was just millions. Ada was a little angry. She was Jane's close friend. How could she not help her?
"Okay. We are friends. I'll help you if you are in trouble. It has nothing to do with me if your younger brother is in trouble."
Jane replied. In short, she would give her a penny.
No friends of the female lead were nice ones. Jane planned to alienate them.
Especially Ada, who fooled the female lead. Did she try to fool Jane as well? "You know, I've never been here."
Jane stared into Ada's eyes and said, "Aren't you surprised to see me here?"
Ada nodded. There were at least a dozen servants in the Duncan's and Jane would no need to buy groceries.
Ada looked at Joan's cart which was full of meat, eggs, and vegetables. She looked like a housewife.
"Every family has their issue. I can't help you. I've got to go. I will prepare the dinner today."
Lainey told Jane that there were no cooking sauces in William's apartment. Jane brought a lot of them, such as salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. Ada was shocked when she saw Jane's cart.
Was Jane a maid in the Duncan's?
However, Jane suffered a stab for William at the charity dinner not long before. Was there something untold?
Ada tried to figure it out. Jane couldn't please the Duncan members by doing this and it would get worse.
Why did a rich lady come here to buy groceries? It should be that Jane schemed to save William to gain his sympathy!
Ada figured out why the police didn't reveal more information about that accident.
By the time Ada realized, Jane had checked out and drove away.
The International Mansion, a high-end building, was close to a busy street of City J. Many celebrities lived here and its access management was extremely strict.
Jane's car was stopped by security guards at the gate.
"Madam, you're not the owner here. I'm afraid that I cannot let you through."
The security guard glanced at the number of her license plate which was not a registered one.
The access management of the International Mansion was different from others. Since many celebrities lived here. The worst scenario was to let strangers get in. If it was not notified by owners in advance, security guards would have stopped all visitors.
"I'm not a visitor. Room 1212 is a property under my husband's name."
Jane explained. It was awkward to be stopped by security guards when she came to her husband's apartment. It was so embarrassing.
However, she might come here more in the future. She had to explain security guards clearly and get familiar with them. She might not be stopped again.
"Room 1212?"
The International Mansion had several oversized units, which could be reached by elevators directly. Room 1212 was the one.
The identities of owners were kept as secrets. The security guards quickly checked the information.
The people who lived here were either rich or famous.
"Don't bother. This is Room 1212's key."
Jane took out the key card. William was abroad and no one was in his apartment. She had to clean the room quickly. "Madam, you..."
The security guard hesitated and looked at Jane sympathetically. He wanted to ask if he should call the tenant first.
But the lady insisted that the owner was not at home and no one was in this apartment.
Fine. It was not their business.
As soon as Jane left, the security guard hurriedly asked his colleagues to go upstairs. Once something went wrong in Room 1212, they would burst in. "We've worked here for two years. The wife of the owner of Room 1212 hasn't shown up before. I thought he was single. But he brought back a man a few days ago."
The security guard said. This madam probably came here to catch that man after she heard the news!
"The owner of Room 1212 is mysterious and stylish. Why does he like men?"
Another security guard shook his head. Wealthy men were strange. Maybe they were tired of women.
He thought for a while and then asked, "Man, look at me. Is there any chance that big shots would like me?"
