After Being Cheating novel Chapter 189

Janet Shao winced with pain, as she blew on her burnt finger.

She felt miserable, with tears in her eyes.

A teardrop ran down. 'How could she be such a fool to get burnt when opening a cover of the rice cooker?'

Janet filled a large bowl with rice for herself and opened the delivery boxes on the table. What a gorgeous meal.

There were stewed meatballs with brown sauce, fried bacon with sour bamboo shoots, steamed Chinese sturgeon, baby cabbage, green vegetables, and Ma Po bean curd.

It had been a long time since she had an appetizing meal. Janet was in such a good mood that she ate a large bowl of rice and a whole fish.

She didn't throw other remaining food away because she could eat them tomorrow.

Caspar came back to the room, and dialed a number, "Where is the Tianye Bead sold according to your early investigation?"

"C Country? Are you sure? What else do you know?"

Having been filled in, Caspar didn't talk any more but hung up the phone.

'How can I make the woman take the bead off so I can get it identified? If this was the real Tianye Bead, she couldn't stay here any longer.'

She finished eating a little after nine o'clock. Sleepy as she was, Janet went to the kitchen to wash the bowls and chopsticks.

She squeezed out the liquid soap. But at that moment, a porcelain bowl slipped from her hand, dropped into the sink, and broke into pieces.

...

Janet, feeling angry, looked at the broken bowl. 'Even you are against me now?'

Misfortunes never come in singles. When cleaning away the broken pieces, she had cut her left hand.

She turned the tap on, washing the blood on the hand away.

Without a band-aid around, she had no idea where to buy it or what time it was now.

So she got some tissue and wrapped her hand with it. Then, she cleaned up the mess with her uninjured hand.

Janet had an exhausting day. She could finally take a shower and go to sleep.

Before sleeping, she thought that she should go to the police station. There should be some progress with her smartphone and money, since days had already past.

The woman quickly fell asleep.

C Country

While Janet was sleeping soundly, Daniel Si with a bruise on his face stood in the bedroom of the the Waterside Complex, staring blankly around the empty room.

Jane had disappeared for almost twenty days, but there were no departure records found in all the airports and train stations.

He had looked everywhere in C Country, but still failed to find her.

Travel around to relax... 'Did Janet really take a trip to relax?'

Ella Bo cried every day at home, and Samuel Shao went to the SL Group's office to beat Daniel up.

He didn't fight back.

"Janet, what a cruel girl you were. You left without saying a word."

The man murmured, "Don't you love me any more?"

He got no response.

'Janet... Janet...'

Janet, who was asleep, seemed to have heard his sincere call and had dreamed of him.

However, it was a nightmare. In the dream, Daniel took her to the hospital and forced her to get an abortion.

Janet woke up crying.

With sweat dripping from her face, Janet turned on the bedside lamp. She gradually calmed down at the sight of bright light in the room.

In the next few days, Caspar taught her how to cook rice, and she was able to make it, but she could never manage to cook dishes no matter how much Caspar taught her.

She not only turned the kitchen into a mess, but she nearly burnt the house.

The fourth day when Caspar taught her how to cook dishes, Janet had black ashes on her face and rushed out of the kitchen. He didn't know how such a stupid woman could exist in the world.

He didn't allow Janet to enter the kitchen the fifth day and cooked four dishes for her on his own. The woman ate with good appetite. Seeing this, Caspar had to restrain his anger.

It had already been a month since Janet moved to Z Country.

She got her salary for the first month of her job. Janet received 5000, more or less for a month, for Rita had talked to their boss about giving her more.

Holding 5000 tightly, Janet almost burst into tears.

Then, Janet counted twenty pieces and gave them back to Rita, but Rita pushed her hand away, "You keep it for yourself. You need the money. Pay back your debt next month."

"That's not acceptable. I will give the money back to you now. I will borrow money from you if I need to." Janet gave the money to Rita immediately.

Rita didn't refuse, but put the money in her purse.

Janet had meant to treat Rita to a meal, but in the end, Rita paid the bill without letting her know.

On the way home, Janet bought some snacks for her and asked Rita to give some to her two kids.

While walking downstairs, she thought of Caspar. 'What gift should I buy... for him?' Janet saw a roast chicken shop, so she bought a chicken and took it home.

She knocked on Caspar's door. A bodyguard, dressed in a black suit and white shirt, opened the door. He asked, wearing a serious expression, "Who are you looking for?"

Janet slightly put her head in and looked around the room. She felt terrified at the sight of a dozen bodyguards standing in two lines inside.

"I'm sorry... This must be the wrong house." Janet moved away in a hurry and glanced to the right.

There was a door whose armrest was covered with cartoon stickers. She recognized that it was her room.

'What's going on?' She was confused when the door opened again.

Caspar walked out of the room.

"What's up?" he asked.

Having overcome all the confusion, she gave the chicken to him, "I got my salary today. It's for you."

Caspar looked at the plastic bag and saw a roast chicken in it. He took it reluctantly.

"Go to bed early." Caspar returned to the room.

Janet opened the door, bewildered. 'Who is Caspar? He doesn't look like a man who will live here. Besides, he has a lot of bodyguards. He must have powerful background.'

Even so, she didn't think too much. After taking a shower, she went to bed and slept.

On the next morning, the landlord came. Janet gave him a 1000 for rent. The landlord had been unwilling to let her pay the rent monthly, but he agreed considering that she was pregnant and didn't have much money.

Looking at her 2000 on hand, Janet wondered how she would be able to make through the next month. 2000 was barely enough for her to live another month however wise she was.

In the past, two thousand dollars was not even enough for her to buy a dress.

But now... Janet sighed and touched her lower abdomen, making up her mind to not let her unborn baby suffer with her.

Janet went to work with 200, with the intention to buy some fruits after work.

When Janet went out for lunch, she unintentionally saw the news. A journalist standing in front of the Yi Family Group building reported that the Yi Family Group's CEO, Poe Yi, had been taken away for investigation for he was involved in frauds, bribery, and tax evasion.

According to a source, Poe had hit an old man while driving and then ran away. Later, he had spent a large sum of money to appease it.

All the factories of the Yi Family Group stopped production, and all the staff would be investigated.

The topic suddenly shifted. A reporter asked Poe about the matters between Ivanka and Daniel. Poe angrily told the reporter that her daughter was pregnant for two months, but Daniel had never showed up...
