After Being Cheating novel Chapter 144

The man was the leader of a group of gangsters, and he had never been humiliated like this in his life. He closed his mouth and didn't utter another single word.

When Janet came up to him and dragged him by his collar, two black Maybach cars stopped right behind the crowd of curious onlookers. "Please get out of the way, " said one of the bodyguards.

Some other bodyguards got out of the cars and stood in two rows, which attracted a lot of people's attention.

The backseat door was then opened, and a man dressed in a black British-style coat, and wearing a pair of expensive hand-made Italian leather shoes, got out of the car.

He gracefully walked towards the group of people.

As soon as Daniel received the phone call from one of the maids, he immediately rushed there. When he got out of the car, he saw that Janet was dragging a man's shirt collar, while wearing an angry expression on her red, flushed face.

Then he caught sight of Brian, who was standing beside her, and he slightly frowned his eyebrows.

"What's going on here?" Daniel pulled Janet into his arms, and asked the bodyguard with a cold, stern voice.

The bodyguard gave him a brief explanation about what had happened. Daniel looked at the national flag, and ordered the bodyguards behind him, "Punch them until they're willing to apologize."

There were about seven or eight bodyguards there, and Daniel was emanating a cold and powerful aura, which really frightened the gangsters. They were very scared of him, and apologized immediately.

Daniel didn't show any care to their apologies. He threw a glance at the maids and indicated them to first take John back to the car.

When hysterical screaming sounds were heard coming from the gangsters, some of the Huaxia people in the crowd began cheering for them.

Daniel caressed on the woman's frowned eyebrows with his big palm, and he changed his cold voice to a tender one, saying, "Have you been injured?"

"No, I'm quite well, thanks to Brian; he's the one that saved me!" said Janet. She pointed at Brian, who was standing near, at a short distance from them. Brian was focusing on what was happening on Janet's side, when he suddenly met eyes with Daniel.

They nodded to each other, without uttering a single word.

Then there was the cracking sounds of bones and screaming coming again. After that, Daniel finally ordered the bodyguards to stop punching them.

The men, who had been punched pretty hard, were now all wearing miserable looks on their faces, and before Daniel could speak another word, they immediately apologized to the national flag. They also apologized to the shop's owner as well. Then they heard the wailing sounds of the police cars' sirens coming closer and closer. Daniel held Janet's hand and went with her towards his car.

But Janet got free of Daniel's hand and ran up to Brian. "Brian, thank you very much! Why are you here?" asked Janet.

"I'm on mission here. I've been here for half a month already, " replied Brian. He tried to control his distressed feelings, and looked her in the eyes.

Daniel got in the car first, and he would only give one minute's time to Janet. When the time was up, he shouted, "Janet!"

The man's voice came sounding out of the car.

Janet had to hastily say good-bye to Brian. "Brian, I'm leaving now, but let's meet again when you're free!" said Janet.

Brian waved to her and saw her get in the car. He then slowly went away too.

One bodyguard was left at the spot to deal with what happened next, and all the other people went away.

And also all the onlookers dropped away, being afraid of getting involved in any trouble.

That group of men were all taken away by the police, and were accused of violating a national flag.

As soon as they returned to the mansion, Janet was taken to the second floor by Daniel. Looking at his big palm, which was gripping tight on her wrist, Janet asked, "Daniel, what's wrong with you?"

"When did Brian come to America?" asked Daniel angrily. He then slammed shut the bedroom's door.

Janet was startled by the door's loud sound. She remembered Brian's words, and honestly replied to Daniel, "Half a month ago."

The man turned around and stared at her. "Did you know that he had already come to America?" asked Daniel.

Janet felt speechless, and said, "No, I didn't know. And I haven't contacted him either."

"Really?" Obviously, the man didn't believe her.

Facing the man's unaccountable anger, Janet got furious too, and said, "I didn't know he is here! If you don't trust me, just leave me alone, and don't ask me anything!"

"Fine, then don't ever meet with Brian from now on!" yelled Daniel. 'Brian! You're calling him in such an intimate tone! That's a habit! A very bad habit! I have to make you change that habit!' thought Daniel.

Janet furiously stared at him, and yelled, "I'm not meeting with him on purpose!"

'We just happened to meet each other. Is that my fault?' thought Janet.

Daniel insisted. "Evidence?" The woman was really angry now, and the man became to soften his voice a little.

"Evidence for what?" asked Janet.

"I mean, do you have any evidence to prove that you haven't met with Brian on purpose?"

...

Janet's beautiful eyes were now burning with rage.

"Okay, Okay, you're right! We've arranged beforehand to meet in America! What do you think? Daniel, you stupid bastard! Don't you remember you were the one that insisted on me to come here in the first place?" Janet answered him back in an even louder voice. She pushed Daniel away and then went to the balcony.

She didn't want to see Daniel because she really wanted to punch him in the face.

Daniel then lowered his head, touching his forehead with his palm. He was calmer now, and thought to himself, 'Why am I so discomposed when I bring up Janet's affairs? She's right! I'm the one who asked her to follow me here. How could I ever suspect that she has contacted Brian?'

Daniel took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. Then he walked towards the balcony.

He held on Janet's slim waist from her back, and he apologized to her. "Jane, I'm sorry."

Janet rudely pulled off his palms from her, and yelled, "Don't touch me! I want to go back home!" She then ran back to the bedroom and started to pack her bags.

Daniel caught her by the wrist and held her tight into his arms. "Come on, it's all my fault, I'm sorry, " he said. His voice was very soft and tender, which made Janet's heart soften too.

She felt aggrieved, and her eyes filled with tears. She said, "You don't trust me!"

"Yes, I do trust you! I'm sorry, Jane." Daniel realized that he had been too impulsive earlier, and he thought it was all because of Brian. Every time when he saw Janet together with him, he would totally lose all of his calm and senses.

Hearing him apologize again and again, Janet held on to his waist.

Daniel then kissed her on her forehead, and said, "Good, now please go to bed. I still need to go back to the company." When Daniel had heard that Janet was in danger, he immediately left the company, leaving Colin alone. He now had to go back and handle the unfinished work.

"Okay. How about I come with you?" asked Janet. Janet leaned herself against his chest, feeling her heart ache. Daniel was so busy that he was working for almost twenty hours a day these last couple of days.

And on some nights he was even drunk, being driven back to the villa by Spark.

"No, because I don't know when I'll finish work and come back. You should have an early good rest, " said Daniel. He would try his best to come back as soon as possible, because Janet was waiting for him.

Janet nodded and stood on her tiptoes to kiss his lips. "Don't burn out, " she reminded him.

Daniel smiled, and gave her a deep kiss. Then, he left.

At two o'clock in the morning, Daniel still hadn't come back home. Janet was so worried about him that she couldn't sleep, but also didn't dare to call him, afraid of interrupting his work.

She wanted to go and see Daniel, but she didn't know his company's address. The housemaids were all asleep at that time, and she also felt it wasn't nice to wake them up at that hour of the night.

Janet didn't know what to do.

In the end, she called her own brother and asked him for the address. Then she got out of bed and headed out to stop a taxi to go to the company.

In the SL Group

Colin took out the final papers and put them in front of Daniel. He said, "This is the last contract, and it's from the famous company, Basharadi; its CEO is Louis Coy. Because in the project a huge fund was involved, they have insisted that they need to talk with you first. That's why it's not settled yet..."

"Rat-a-tat." Someone knocked at the door. The knocking sound made Colin stop his words. They exchanged suspicious looks to one another, and wondered who was still in the company so late at night besides them.
