Dan was also stunned.

Was it so obvious?

How could he be jealous of Hector for no reason? Hector had been his follower since they were little

kids.

Dan gave light coughs, picked up a cup, and sipped the water without saying anything.

A pair of slender hands tenderly clasped his one arm.

A waft of faint fragrance coming from Jane began to creep into his nose again.

“Honey,” Jane said in a sweet voice and smiled flatteringly, “if you don’t have interest in my work, I will

button my lips.”

Dan calmly twitched his mouth and felt happier.

“It’s not that I don’t have any interest in your work.” He turned to look at her and said slowly, “But you

keep mentioning Hector White all night. Can’t you change a topic?”

Jane widened her eyes, asking, “Change for what?”

“For example…” He paused for a moment and continued. “Didn’t the Campbell family hold that

banquet? You must have heard of Mr. Campbell, right?”

Jane thought for a moment and shook her head gently.

Dan’s face darkened.

“Don’t you know Mr. Campbell?” he asked again, unwilling to give up.

“What the point to talk about him?” She glanced at him, went to the balcony to retrieve the washed.

clothes, and folded them one by one.

“I don’t know him from Adam. What does his banquet have to do with me?”

Dan approached her and looked at her with great interest. “But I heard that he is very powerful. The

economy of Central City is in the hands of the Campbell family. His banquet can attract many socialites

to attend.”

“You were already in the hotel at that time. Aren’t you curious about what he looks like? Didn’t you want

to have a look at the banquet?”

“Are you crazy?” Jane chuckled, “Why should I be curious about him?”

“Isn’t the banquet for him to choose a wife? Dan said softly. “If you enter the banquet hall and he takes

a fancy to you, won’t you rise to the top in one go? What a good opportunity!”

Jane suddenly stopped what she was doing, looked up at him, and frowned.

“Am I this kind of woman in your eyes?”

Dan Murphy was lost for words.

Jane usually spoke softly and had a smiling face, but it was the first time that he had seen such a

serious Jane.

“I’ve always remembered who I am, Dan. I’ve married, and have a husband. I’ve always been

protecting our home and have a clear conscience about our marriage!”

“I’ve never thought of climbing up to the top in one go! No matter who he is, Mr. Campbell or any

others, they have nothing to do with me! Since I married you, I’ve made up my mind to stay with.

you and have a good life… How hurtful your words are!”

“No, I…” Dan was on the edge, wishing he could eat all his words.

He kept saying Hector was an airhead.

Was he wiser than Hector?

Dan sweated nervously without a word.

Jane glared at him with grievance and stormed into her room. Dan followed her. When he was about

to explain, she took his pillow and quilt up from the bed and threw them on the sofa!

Dan wanted to pull her hand, but Jane stubbornly pushed it away and slammed the door.

Then came the sound of locking the door.

Dan sat on the sofa and scratched his head.

After a long silence, his eyes fell on the pillow and quilt. These things had welcomed into their room

before, but now…

Dan lay down with his clothes on. The fragrance of Jane on the pillow and quilt kept drilling into his

nose at this moment.

Gritting his teeth, he tossed and turned, and let out a heavy sigh.
