Trapped with Daniel

Sixteen years later.

In Fort St. University.

It was a private university which ran neck and neck with Harvard University, which offered nearly 1000 majors. Students were lectured by professors or top leaders in the business field.

Apart from impoverished students who did well in their study, the rest of the students were mainly rich second generation kids.

Including Janet. She had failed all her exams.

It was a splendid, sunny day, and it was the student's graduation day. They were taking photos in their school uniforms.

During this time, a few "wows" were heard coming from the School Building.

Soon, Janet, who was putting on her school uniform, was dragged out of her dorm room by her roommate Shirley.

"Shirley, wait, I haven't put on my uniform yet." Janet, who had a beautiful figure, was wearing a white camisole and dark blue shorts. She was dragged in a rush throughout the campus by Shirley, who had got A in every exam. This scene had drawn many people's attention.

Shirley was breathless. She spluttered her words out, "We... cannot... wait for you... to get... dressed... someone is dying."

Janet looked at Shirley even more confused. What was going on?

Three minutes later...

The School Building was now being surrounded by a big crowd of students in their school uniforms.

A voice shouted, "Janet is coming!"

Then the crowd gave way to Janet.

Shirley took Janet straight to the front of the building and then pointed up.

On the 15-story School Building hung a red banner which read: "Janet, I love you! Will you please marry me?"

The banner was girdled with pink roses which also happened to be Janet's favorite flowers. A man in white casual tops and pants, with yellow hair resembling the straws of a broom, was on the top of the building.

He was holding in his hands a large bouquet of the same pink roses in his left hand, and a megaphone in his right. When he saw Janet, he began shouting: "Janet, I love you! Marry me!"

The crowd hooted and cheered: "Say yes! Say yes!"

Janet covered her ears. She was almost deafened by the noises that came from all around her. She took out her phone and called Bill: "No silly trying, no Billy dying! Get down at once!"

Bill was, however, still shouting with the megaphone: "Janet, I'll jump if you say no to me! Then, you will never forget me!"

Hearing these words, the crowd started screaming hysterically.

"Janet, don't be silly. His grandfather is a general, and his father is a lieutenant general. Say yes to him, now."

Janet, of course, knew Bill's powerful family background. But she treated him only as a friend.

"Bill, get down now! Knock it off, or I won't talk to you for the rest of my life!"

How many times had Bill said "I love you" to Janet? Janet stretched out her left hand and started counting. It was more than 5 times.

"If you don't say yes to me, I swear I will jump!" Bill really meant it this time. Jane had turned him down for a thousand times, and if it wasn't working this time either, then there would be no point to continue living.

"Go ahead, jump! You'd better kill yourself now, or else your grandfather will beat you to death with his walking stick!" Janet gestured him coming down. Bill became more and more timid at the mentioning of his grandfather.

"Just say yes and I'll come down." Bill put the megaphone away and talked to Janet by the phone.

More and more students that were around the building took out their phones and started recording videos of the whole event. Janet rolled her eyes and spoke in the phone, " Bill, your grandfather will know what's going on if he watches these videos. Are you aware that you are being silly and making a fool of yourself?"

Bill opened his mouth and looked at Janet. His heart was broken and shattered in a thousand pieces. "Jane, do you know for how long I've been in love with you?"

How could she not have known that? Since he caught the very first sight of her in junior high school, Bill had fallen for her.

Almost ten years had passed.

"Bill, do you want me to get in trouble with my mother?" Janet's mother was utterly strict with her. If she found out what was happening, she would get a thousand beatings coming for Janet when they met.

"Your parents are having fun somewhere in the world. They have no time for you." They were the perfect couple as was well-known in all of Uthana. Samuel had resigned out of his job last year for Ella, and Jerry had taken over his position at the company.

And then Samuel and Ella left their sons and daughters at home and decided to live an idle and peaceful life in an unknown mountain somewhere.

Jane almost cried when she found out that she had to take care of her 20 year-old younger little brother.

How distressed she felt!

Janet snapped at him: "Bill, this is the last time and I mean it: if you don't come down right now, we'll be complete strangers!"

"OK, OK, Jane, I'm coming down. But please take my flowers and ring, will you, please? These flowers were brought here just for you. They're unique."

Bill stepped back, and entered the elevator with the roses in his hand.

Everyone now felt relieved. However, they all stayed to see what was going on next.

Janet was a little indifferent towards the flowers. "I'll keep the flowers, but you have to take the ring back. I don't want to embarrass you in front of the others."

Bill was now walking out of the School Building.

He got on his knee and raised the flowers and ring. "Jane, marry me, please!"

The crowd hooted, whistled, and whooped again at these words.

His friends shouted vigorously together: "Janet, say yes. Janet, say yes!"

Before she could say no, three strong men in dark sunglasses paved a way straight through the crowd and immediately held Bill up in the air: "Bill, your grandfather ordered us to send you to the the army at once."

"No...Ah, ah! Jane, please say yes, I don't want to go!"

Although he was struggling, Bill ended up being lifted up in the air by the bodyguards. Janet shouted in her cupped hands: "Bill, take care! Bye, bye."

That was the end of the farce for the day.

Janet went back to the dorm to get dressed in her school uniform, and afterwards took photos with her classmates.

In the middle of their photo shooting, her cellphone rang again. it was Sally. She smiled. "Sally!"

"Jane, what time is your flight? I've already landed and Sven also boarded on the plane. Only you and Bill remain."

Speaking of Bill, she recalled what just happened, "I will arrive in Uthana tomorrow. Bill was taken to the army by his grandfather. He even did not take photos. Forget him."

Sally was a little sorry to hear that. "All right, I'll see you soon. Let's hang out tomorrow evening when you arrive."

"OK, see you then!"

At the airport of Uthana.

At the VIP gate, a girl in a floppy azure shirt and denim shorts, wearing a pair of big sunglasses, held a suitcase in her left hand and took Shirley with her right hand. They left the airport together.

Janet was feeling in a good mood on seeing the bright blue sky and white clouds in her hometown.She looked at the time. Where was Sally anyway?

At this moment, a line of black Bentleys slowly started driving towards the airport's gates, something that immediately drew everyone's attention.

Wow! Five luxury cars! Were they brought here to shoot a TV show?

Janet was chatting with Shirley pleasantly, not noticing the spectacle that was happening there. Janet didn't pay any attention to the Bentley's until the first Bentley stopped in front of her steadily enough for her to observe it.

Janet felt that she knew the man who got out of the driver's seat, but couldn't remember where she had met him.

"Miss Lowell, please get in the car!" Immediately then after, several bodyguards got out of the car and, following them from behind, took the luggage from the two girls and put them into the trunk.

Involved in the pompous situation, Shirley was now scared to get in the car.

Janet now asked the man in front of her: "Who are you?"

The rear window of the first Bentley was rolled down, and a handsome face showed itself from it, one which Janet hadn't seen for one, two, three... Six or maybe seven years.

"Sally is busy at the moment. Please get in the car."

Janet glanced at the man who didn't look at her, saying: "No, I won't get in your car! Please, give me back my luggage!"

After hearing her refusal, Daniel slightly frowned. This woman was still as disobedient as he knew she was before. She had not improved at all, not even after all these years.

"Throw Jane into the car."

"Daniel, how dare you!" Two bodyguards immediately came up to Janet, intending to hold up her and to throw her in the car.

Janet raised her right leg and kicked one of the bodyguards to the side, as he was off-guard.

The other bodyguard tried fighting Janet, but was also trampled to the ground by her after only two moves.

She stared at the man aggressively: "Give me back my luggage. I will never get in your car!"

Daniel met her eyes and glanced at them with a sharp look in them. They were always particularly unfriendly to one another when they met each other.

One door of the Bentley was now opened and Daniel, who was dressed in a suit and wearing expensive handmade leather shoes, got out of it.

He threw Janet into the car with three moves.

They hadn't seen each other for six or seven years. Without a trace of the kindness that was supposed to be between two old friends, they turned against each other again.

As Daniel threw her into the car, Janet bumped her head against the window. she got angry at once: "Daniel, I will accuse you of kidnapping!"

Her brother was one of the best lawyers, only second to their father, so he should have been able to defeat Daniel with ease!

"Whatever!" As Daniel closed the backseat door, the Bentleys slowly left the premises, under the amazement of all the people that had witnessed the scene.

"You hate me, right? Why the fuck did you pick me up?" Her good mood was quickly spoiled by him! Janet now rubbed her sore forehead.

And then she rolled her eyes and took out her mobile phone from her bag to look through its contact list.

Hearing the rude words that came from her mouth, Daniel slightly frowned: "Do you think I'd come to pick you up if it weren't for Sally?"

Sally didn't trust others, so she asked him to come in person.

"Well, you don't want to come?"

As Janet pressed the talk key, a complacent smile appeared on her lips. The phone call now was connected: "Mother*!" (*TN: Here mother means sworn mother)

While he heard this word coming from her mouth, Daniel glanced at her with another murderous look.

Janet was at the same time awesome, and could always provoke his anger with ease!

Ignoring Daniel's murderous gaze, Janet spoke gently: "Mother*, I miss you! Where are you now?" (*TN: Here mother means sworn mother)

"Jane, I'm in Iceland with your father*, but we will come back soon. Don't worry!" (*TN: Here father means sworn father)

"OK. Mother, I won't worry, but..." When Janet changed her voice into an aggrieved tone and suddenly about to complain about her experience, Daniel leaned close to her and vigorously covered her lips with his left hand.

The only soft spot in all Daniel's life was Lola.

This woman had always told lies and could only talk nonsense, so he couldn't let her tell on him!

With her lower body pinned down by Daniel, Janet smelt his pleasant breath. His breath engulfed each and every one of her nerves, which made her briefly forget to stand against him at that moment.

Daniel grabbed her mobile phone from her hands, put it against his ear and interrupted the caring questions that Lola was about to ask. He spoke while looking at Janet: "Mother, Jane is fine. I just picked her up and I'm going to send her back home soon. That's it, bye."

After he finished the call, Daniel loosened Janet who was a bit dazed and confused and rudely threw her mobile phone into her arms.

He then tidied up his business suit, and kept at a distance from her.

"Who... Who allowed you to talk on my phone?" Janet put aside her messy thoughts and gave the nonchalant man beside her a fierce glance.

"It's my mother!"

"Well, you are indeed right, but just because she's your mother doesn't give you the right to take my phone!"

In the face of this unreasonable girl, who was bothered about trifling things, Daniel didn't respond to her and instead leaned back in the seat, with his eyes closed.

While knowing that he deliberately ignored her, Janet was very angry. He again ignored her in this way! He was the same as he always had been years ago. Darn it!

She drew out a tissue from the tissue box in the car to scrub her cell phone excessively, as if it were infected with something foul.

Having squinted at this, Daniel didn't say a word. There was only anger flaring in his eyes.

Spark Turner, the driver sitting in front of them, held back his laughter as he finally saw both of their expressions and responses in the rear view mirror.

At the Royal Valley Mansion.

Janet opened the car door and unwillingly said: "Thank you." She then slammed the car door and walked towards the door of her villa.

Two bodyguards carried her luggage and followed her at once.

It was not until she saw them that Janet realized she had left Shirley behind.

She went to the Bentley again and knocked on the car's window. However, for a while, there was no reply from inside the car.

Janet was so angry that she failed to control her temper at that moment and kicked the brand-new Bentley with one of her feet.

The car window was finally lowered. Daniel's cold voice scared Janet.

"The cleaning bill is five hundred thousand dollars. Spark, please charge the money. "

Five hundred thousand? Janet stared at him bewildered. She was shocked, not because that she needed five hundred thousand dollars to wash the car, but because Daniel could now have the opportunity to blackmail her!

Her father only spent several thousand dollars to wash his luxury car for just one time.

Could it really be possible that he thought she was too poor to have seen other luxury cars?

Taking a deep breath, Janet calmly replied: "Where is Shirley?"

"Miss Lowell, please don't worry. We have asked the bodyguard to send her back." Spark was near her and answered her politely.

Oh. She felt relieved. "Thank you."

After smiling at Spark, she got her wallet out of her bag. She took out a coin and flipped it into the car. The coin fell exactly on Daniel's seat. "Just go on and challenge me! If not, sit and admire then!"

Janet turned round with eminence and grace, and walked away, leaving those words behind her.

Daniel looked at the coin in the car, and his face finally became gloomy.

Daniel saw Jane's back with his sharp eyes, thinking how dare she challenged him? She was dead!

He then glanced at Spark, who held on his smile, kicked the front seat of the car and ordered furiously: "Drive!"

Back at the villa, her first thing was to call her great grandma. "Great-grandma, I am graduated! I am back!" said Janet, now feeling refreshed.

On the other side of the line, she heard her great-granddaughter's voice, and Melody smiled from ear-to-ear, revealing even her last few teeth: "Come here. I miss you."

"Okay, great-grandma, I will!" Janet threw her luggage into the living room and, without saying a word, she took out the presents she had brought, picked up a car key, and entered the garage.

But before leaving, she cast a glance at the second floor and pouted at the thought of her parents. They hung out and seldom stayed at home. It seemed that they cared little about her!

In the old house.

Viola was retired and was playing with her two-year-old grandson, John. Beside her was Vincent, who was now comforting the excited Melody.

"Our Jane is the cutest ever! Her heart is filled with so much filial piety. But I haven't seen her for over half a year. Oh, I miss her so much." Melody was over a hundred years old now and her health wasn't so good anymore.

"Hmm, Mother, Jane is on her way now. Don't be so excited, and watch out for your blood pressure." Since last year, Melody's blood pressure had become higher and higher, and the whole family was now taking care of her and her condition and accompanied her at all times.

Ten minutes later.

The door bell rang. Viola handed over her grandson to Vincent, and quickly ran to open the door.

"Great-grandma, grandma! Grandpa!" Jane's pleasant voice rose in the doorway. Holding her walking cane, Melody started walking fast and then stood in the doorway of the living room

"Oh, my granddaughter, I've missed you so much!" Viola and Jane hugged each other.

"Jane, my sweet great-granddaughter." Melody threw her walking cane and headed towards Janet to greet her.

Janet passed the presents she had brought to Viola and ran to Melody and hugged her: "Great-grandma, don't hasten. I am here now!"

"Jane, let me see you. Oh, you're even taller and more beautiful now, just like your mother. How beautiful you are!" Melody stroked Jane's hair and looked with loving eyes at her great-granddaughter, who had grown up so fast.

"Great-grandma, I'm not as pretty as my mom. If I were, dad would ignore mom completely. Look at this poor little guy. He must have been abandoned again!" She pointed at her little brother who was in Vincent's arms. John looked at this big sister in front of him with a kind of familiar but perplexed look on his face.

Vincent laughed: "You misunderstand your parents. We're at home and have nothing to do, so we freely volunteer to take care of John." They couldn't be more happy at the fact that their son and his wife had such a good relationship going on.

"Okay, okay, come here, you little thing. Let me hug you." Holding her little brother in her arms, Janet sighed and thought how really good was their relationship going. Mom was now over forty, and she was still willing to give birth to another child for dad.

John then kissed Janet on her face. He remembered that this was his sister who often video chatted with their great-grandma. "Sister."

Janet laughed and kissed back his cute little face: "Hey, little baby, see what I got for you? A little toy."

Later, Jerry also returned to the house.

The whole family had a good time, laughing and speaking with each other in the living room.

Janet hadn't returned home yet, not even before dinner. She went to the place she agreed with Sally to rendezvous at.

In SL Group.

Since Daniel now took over the business of the Group, he rebuilt the Group building, which seemed to be more splendid and magnificent than before.

His CEO office, which was at the 88th floor, was even more fancy and luxurious.

Sally opened the door and entered the hundred-square-meters office.

She trotted for a few steps and then overwhelmed her brother Daniel who was working: "Daniel, go out with me tonight!"

Daniel put down his pen, and looked at his mischievous sister, and suddenly, he saw the shadow of another woman who proved to be also as naughty and self-willed as Sally.

"Where do you want to go?"

Sally smiled mysteriously, "You will know."

She had to accomplish a mission for her mother, and there was be a nice treat in store for her if she accomplished her mission, and of course Sally worked really hard to pursue her goal to the end.

"I am busy with other things." Speaking just those few words, Daniel continued working.

"Daniel, you're an utter bore! You're only 25! Why act like an old man?" Sally paused her excitement with discontent.

Daniel took a good look at her: "You are also 25 and also about to marry Jerry. Why you want to be childish?"

Married? She didn't want to get married at all. Sally smiled and said: "Come on, we need to make up our minds! We'll meet with Jerry, Sven, Jane, Selina..."

Jane? Daniel remembered the scene today and immediately put down his pen: "Go!"

Sally was now counting on the number she had pulled out for tonight. She paused at hearing that. Her brother changed his mind so quickly!

In the SOHO Bar.

In Private Room 666, Sven was opening beers, red wine and liquor.

Janet held Selina's arms and pressed her head on her shoulder: "Selina, I've missed you so much."

Selina picked up two cups of liquor lying on the table, and put one of them in Janet's hand: "Come on, let's get hammered tonight!"

"Okay!" After she immediately agreed, the door was pushed open. Daniel and Sally entered.

Jane gave Daniel a cold stare while the rest of them greeted one another.

After singing and dancing happily, Jane looked at Sally and said, "Sally, we are about to cheers. Will you join us?" She hold a cup of 50 gram liquor and swirled it in front of Sally.

Jerry took away his sister's liquor: "Okay, you girls stop doing that. You three should just drink some red wine or a couple of beers. "

Just when Jane was about to agree, Sally took back the cup from Jerry and patted on his shoulder: "Don't get involved in our woman affairs."

"Sally!" Daniel's harsh voice rang in the room.

Hearing her brother's harsh tone, Sally knew that he was angry and the whole party was now compromised. Just when she had put aside the cup, Jane picked up the liquor bottle and said: "Daniel, you guys drink yours, and we drink ours. We shall not interrupt each other."

Despite Jerry's helpless stares, the three women clinked their glasses full of liquor in front of them.

Sally was just about to take a sip out of her cup when Daniel took it away from her mouth.

Jane had already taken a sip of it when her eyes flushed red immediately and her throat started burning. "Oops, I haven't drank in such a long time. Now I can't handle not even one sip of it."

She wanted to see Selina's reaction, but just found her holding a cup and staring at Sally.

Jane then found out that Sally's cup was taken away by Daniel.

Humph! "Mr. CEO, you are such a bummer!" After rebuking Daniel in a weird tone of voice, she took Selina's cup and said: "You shouldn't drink because you are only 18."
