Chapter 140
Elizabeth and her family returned to the vi, only to see the ie tax officers searching the whole
ce, not leaving a single object untouched. Even her newly bought painting was being carefully
examined. When Elizabeth and her family entered the vi, their mobiles and their purses were taken
away. They were made to sit on a couch just like Selena, Shawn, Veronica, and Reba, but the
children were allowed to go outside.
The adults, however, were only allowed to talk when the officers asked them questions. The officers
treated the Sterling family members coldly, but some of them secretly flirted with the maids. Some even
went as far asking them to lift their skirts. Selena secretly signaled Kathy to
please them, and she did.
“These recent purchases…” one officer started questioning Elizabeth about the things she bought at the
auction. They cost over 70 million dors overall, and that revtion shocked
Selena and Shawn. Later, Shawn had to give an ount as to where that wealth hade from.
Selena was feeling quite tense, not because of the raid going on, but from thinking how Jacob would
react when he would learn of all the things that had happened.
Thanks to Kathy’s efforts, some of the officers grew lenient and let the Sterling family members go to the
dorms as the searching was finished there.
Only Selena, Shawn, and Louis stayed back to answer the officers’ questions.
In the dorms, everyone’s mood was still dull.
Delle switched the television on. Veronica changed the channel to one of the fashion channels. The
ongoing program coincidentally was talking about a certain fashion designer.
“She’s a rising star in the fashion industry with her designs not only attractive on the eyes but also having
deeper meanings,” the anchor was speaking with a famous fashion designer.” However, hertest design
is a big flop.” “Absolutely. It’s beyond ridiculous,” the fashion designer spoke. “How can youpletely
expose your nipples and call it fashion? It’s barbaric. I say that she should be banned from ever making
designs again.” “If you are still not sure who we’re talking about,” the anchor said with a cheeky smile on
his face, “it’s none other than the daughter of the famous actress Selena Sterling, Reba Sterling.”
“What?” Reba stood at once.
As the anchor showed the new designs of bras with holes in the nipple regions, everyone in the dorm
room turned to look at Reba with shock making their expression dance.
“T-That’s not me,” Reba quickly said, trembling. “I didn’t make those designs!” she switched off the
television and wanted to call her office, but her mobile was confiscated. She had no idea what just
happened, but she couldn’t bear the tension. Putting her ego aside, she went and asked Amber to help
her.

Amber went to Kathy and made her bring Reba’s mobile.
Reba then called her manager, but he wasn’t lifting the call. She called a few colleagues, but they
didn’t respond, either. She checked the online websites, and the fashion columns of all the popr
websites were talking about her with titles like ‘holes in the bras,’ and ‘nipples for all to see.’
Thements were full of messages, mocking and trolling her.
“How can such a beautiful woman make such trashy designs? She must have one perverted
mind.”
“I bet she wears those bras on every date.” “I’m not nipple-phobic, so I don’t mind those designs. Of
course, I’m joking!”
“She’s married, isn’t she? I wonder if she makes the underwear for her husband with a hole in them, lol.
It could be really handy at times.” “She’s a creep masquerading as a fashion designer. It’s because of
women like her that the society is as it is today, with divorces reigning over the marriages.”
Tears overflowed from Reba’s eyes from reading somements. She didn’t make those designs,
yet why were such designs released in her name? She secretly went out of the vi to find out the truth
for herself.
Meanwhile, at Jane’s apartment.
After roaming around aimlessly, Jane just arrived at her apartment. Her hair was a mess. Her make up
had worn out from repeated crying. She washed her face using tap water, so her parents wouldn’t notice
anything wrong.
As she was climbing the stairs, a young girl with arge flower on her head introduced herself. “Hi, you’re
Jane, right? I just moved into this apartment. I must say it’s not that beautiful from the outside, but the
interiors are super pretty.” All she received however was a nk stare. “Oh, I’m Jasmine, by the way.”
Jane just forced out a smile before walking past her without even replying.
Jasmine shrugged her shoulders and scuttled down the stairs like a little rabbit. She was the same girl
who worked in Rye’s Pizzas before.
In Jane’s room.
Wearing nothing but underwear, Donovan was talking with a friend on the mobile.
“You are really thinking of marrying this woman?” the voice on the other side spoke. “She must be really
beautiful and good in bed.”
“She’s both.”
“It’s rare to see you simp after a woman.”
“Haha, I’m not simping after anyone. She’s indeed beautiful, but I don’t praise her beauty. I don’t need to
because she allows me to fuck her all the time,” Donovan chortled.
“Man, I wish I could marry such a woman, but the more beautiful the girl is, the more weight her head
has, generally.”
“I feel ya, bro.”
“So, when’s the marriage? Fixed a date, yet?” “Next week, probably.”
“I’ll be there for sure, even if you don’t call me.”
“Hahaha.”
Donovan ended the call, and the next second, Jane opened the door and entered the room, putting on a
neutral expression. He smiled at her and asked, “Your mom said you bought a cheap dress. Why? I told
you you could buy a costly one.” “Get out of my house,” Jane’s voice was neither cold nor warm.
Donovan’s smile subsided rather quickly. “What do you mean, darling?” he got off the bed. “Is something
wrong?” he looked into her slightly red eyes, trying to see through her. “I’m not a fool, Donnie,” she
ended up calling him by his nickname and regretted it.” DONOVAN. Get out of my life.” “What
happened?” Donovan yed innocent. “Whatever it is, we can talk.” He tried to get closer.
Jane swallowed a breath with effort and showed him the exit. “Go away. Go and fuck my best friend.”
Donovan was startled. Did she think he and Reba were having an affair or something? After some
quick thinking, he thought this was good for him. If he could get Reba, sacrificing Jane didn’t seem all
that bad. He silently walked out in his underwear. As he wasing downstairs, he noticed Jasmine.
She was impressed by his physique and found it hard to take her eyes off him. At the same time, the big
blue flower in her head caught his attention.
Jane meanwhile began crying in her room. The photos on the walls that she and Reba took together
made her cry even more. She broke all those photo frames she could find, and then fell to pieces, feeling
worthless as a heart-wrenching pain gutted her from inside out. Her world hadpletely fallen apart
like those ss pieces around her. She clutched her head and screamed, her face stained with tears.
