It had been a day, and there was still no sign of William. Jane couldn’t stand by and watch, so she persuaded Nana to go home and rest. As for William, she would figure something out.


    In the afternoon, the flight Rory took happened to arrive in Guavo. Jane spotted Rory in the crowd and waved vigorously, “Uncle Newton!”


    She hurried over to Rory and took the suitcase from his hands. Rory smiled, “How is Nana’s boyfriend? Let’s head straight to the hospital.”


    Upon hearing Uncle Newton mention William, Jane fell silent for a moment, shaking her head. “He broke up with Nana, ran out of the hospital yesterday, and neither Nana nor I know where he went. Uncle Newton, maybe you should rest at the hotel for a few days.”


    Rory frowned, “Alright.”


    Suddenly, Jane thought of Bernice and tentatively asked, “By the way, Uncle Newton, I have a question. I want to know… who is Miss Bernice? Why do you all say I look like her, and are you two friends?”


    Rory’s eyes dimmed when he heard Bernice’s name. He remained silent for a long time before asking, “How did you find out? Why are you asking about Bernice?”


    Jane recounted her conversation with the olddy in the mountain area to Rory in detail.


    Rory slightly raised his head, deliberately avoiding Jane’s gaze, “She’s just an old friend from the past, nothing more to say.”


    Seeing Uncle Newton refusing to borate, Jane’s curiosity deepened. Who exactly was this Bernice girl? Why won’t Uncle Newton tell her?


    Since it involved someone else’s private matters, Jane decided not to pry further if Uncle Newton didn’t want to talk.


    Several more days passed without any news of William.


    At a bar.


    Nana sat alone at the counter, with half a bottle of liquor nearby. She picked up the ss, which still had a little left, and drank it down, feeling bitter in her heart.


    At this moment, the phone kept ringing, and Nana took out her phone to see. She absentmindedly pressed the answer button.


    “Nana, where are you? Why aren’t you answering my calls?” Jane asked anxiously.


    Nana, with blurry eyes, spoke incoherently, “Me?… I’m at our usual bar drinking. Don’t worry about me…”


    “I’ming to pick you up,” Jane sighed slightly, concerned for Nana.


    Half an hourter, Jane’s car stopped at the entrance of the bar. As soon as she entered, the ce was filled with a lively atmosphere, with people drinking and flirting.


    Jane navigated through the crowd, searching for Nana while ncing around. Then, in a casual nce, she saw a familiar figure.


    Anna.


    Anna was wearing a shiny strap dress, leaning against a blond foreigner, holding a ss of wine and feeding it to the man with a flirtatious smile.


    “Jhon, let’s make a deal. After I finish this drink with you, the female lead in the new movie you invested in must be mine-”Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    “Deal, deal.” Jhon, a famous French investor, patted Anna’s smooth thigh, his eyes showing a yful light.


    “As long as you apany me well, everything is yours.”


    Anna forced a smile while suppressing the disgust in her heart. She turned her gaze, only to meet eyes with Jane, who was looking at her.


    Anna’s eyes immediately turned cold and stern.


    Jane?! How dare she show up here!


    If it weren’t for her, why would Anna have fallen to be an obscure and ignored actress? Now, she had to apany a man for drinks and a hotel room for a chance at a role. It was so unfair!


    Thinking about this, Anna felt an itching hatred.


    “What are you looking at?” Jhon sensed Anna’s strange gaze and subconsciously asked.


    He followed Anna’s gaze.


    At the sight of Jane, Jhon’s eyes lit up. He had been in Guavo for a while but hadn’t seen a woman as beautiful as Jane.


    “Tsk…” He clicked his tongue, his thumb unconsciously stroking his lower lip, excitement shining in his eyes like a cheetah spotting its prey. “She’s really beautiful… a true beauty of this world.”


    Anna had been paying attention to Jhon’s every move. She knew he was ascivious old man with many perverted tricks in bed. She had been enduring just to get some meager resources from him.


    Seeing Jhon’s current state, he was probably interested in Jane…


    Anna knew Jhon well, so her jealousy towards Jane intensified. Full of resentment, she clenched her fingers tightly around the edge of her skirt, ring hatefully in Jane’s direction.


    Jane didn’t look at Anna again. At this point, less trouble was better than more. The most important thing was to find Nana.


    Seeing Jane about to leave, Jhon couldn’t sit still. At this moment, he didn’t care about Anna at all. He quickly walked through the crowded people, reached Jane’s side, and showed what he thought was a very gentlemanly smile.


    “Hey, beautifuldy, alone? Interested in joining me for a drink over there?” Jhon pointed to his booth, his eyes shamelessly roaming over Jane’s body.


    Jane, wary, took a step back and coldly said, “Sorry, my friend is still here, and I need to find her.”


    Jane tried to move around Jhon, but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer.


    “Take it easy, beautifuldy. If you have a drink with me, I’d be delighted. We can find your friendter,” Jhon, pretending to be a gentleman, suggested.


    Jane, with a disdainful look, kept a distance and forcefully pulled her hand back. “This is not your country. Please behave!”


    Jhon’s expression turned serious, clearly irritated by Jane’s attitude. He directly pulled Jane into his arms, attempting to kiss her without hesitation, showing signs of frustration.


    Unexpectedly, Jane wasn’t falling for it. She retaliated by stomping on Jhon’s foot. When he let go due to the pain, she gave him a resounding p.


    “Sorry, I’m not interested in someone like you. If you don’t want another p, step aside!” Jane coldly stated before briskly walking away.


    Jhon, filled with resentment, red at Jane’s retreating figure. He had never been so contemptuously treated before. Damn it! He must find a way to get this woman!
