After Being Cheating novel Chapter 289

Lola might be right about Daniel.

Janet had seen how Daniel closed deals with his business partners several times. He was decisive and confident. He knew exactly what he was doing.

"Okay, Mother*. I'll have a try for the twins' sake, " said Janet in a low voice. Janet was a bit abashed when she said that.

Lola was very pleased with what Janet had said, so she held Janet's hand and said, "That's right. Harry and I want you to be our daughter-in-law. We want nobody else but you. If Daniel ever hurts your feelings again, let us know, and we will punish him. You can count on us."

...

'They always support me. How could they do that to their son?" wondered Janet.

One of Lola's wealthy friends had a birthday party this evening. Lola was supposed to leave early for the party, but then she had a better idea. Janet could go with her.

"Jane, Carol Yi is hosting a birthday party this evening. Can you please come with me?" asked Lola.

This evening, she wanted to introduce Janet to everyone as her daughter-in-law.

Janet was about to turn her down, but Lola was looking at her with a pair of earnest eyes, so she wiped her mouth and replied, "Okay, Mother*."

Harry stopped them just after Janet agreed and said, "Lola, I don't think Jane should go to the party."

Carol was Sabina's mother, and Sabina was Daniel's ex-girlfriend. Wherever there were women, there was trouble.

Lola did not remember that Sabina was Carol's daughter, so she waved her hand at Harry and said, "Why shouldn't she? Don't worry about us. Mind your own business."

Lola and Harry were so protective toward Janet that even Sally felt a little jealous. She stared at Lola and said, "Mom, I am your own daughter! You always favored Janet. What about me? Ella treats me better than you do."

And Ella was only her mother-in-law.

Lola found Sally adorable, but she did not deny it. Instead, she pinched Sally's chubby cheek and said with a smile, "You're pregnant. You should stay at home and keep away from the crowd."

"Mom, " Sally protested. She then looked at Ella and said, "Ella, am I really her own daughter?" She needed comfort.

Ella giggled, while she ladled up a bowl of fish soup for Sally. "Don't feel upset. I'll treat you like my own daughter. If she won't bring you to the party this evening, I'll take you out next time, " Ella said with a smile.

Ella and Sally had a good relationship with each other. They did not have any conflicts. To Sally, Ella was like her biological mother.

"Good! I'll have Jane, and you can have Sally, " said Lola jokingly. Lola even held Janet's arm for a dramatic effect.

Janet could not help but laugh. "Sally, we have the same problem. My own mother treats you better than she treats me. Look! She didn't even give me any soup, " Janet complained.

"Hahaha... Jane, let me get you some, " said Lola. Lola picked up Janet's bowl and was about to get some for her.

But Janet stopped her right away and said, "No no no... It's okay, Mother*. I am really full."

"Okay then, " replied Lola.

The atmosphere in the living room was cozy and warm, together with all the jokes and laughter. The adults had casual conversations, while the twins played with each other.

In the late afternoon, after Janet saw Harry and Lola out of her house, she went back to the mansion and kept the twins company.

On Harry and Lola's way home, Harry could not help but ask, "Lola, didn't you know that Sabina is Carol's daughter?"

"Huh?" Lola was taken aback by Harry's question. She then thought carefully and realized that Harry was right...

"If you bring Jane to the party, Jane and Sabina would fight again..." continued Harry. Harry was aware that Sabina was a woman with a hot temper. If she were to see Jane again, she would be likely to start a fight with her.

Lola merely bit her lips and said, "Don't worry. I'll follow Janet wherever she goes. Nobody can hurt her!"

If she had known that Sabina was Carol's daughter, she wouldn't have promised Carol that she would attend the party.

She heard that Sabina had slapped Miss Qin and pushed Melissa over the last time she was in Daniel's office. What a nasty girl she was!

"If you bring Jane with you to the party, you must keep an eye on her. If she ever comes across Sabina, stop them before they make a scene, " said Harry. Jane was more composed now, but she was not a woman to mess around with. Harry believed that if they really got into a fight, Jane had a chance of winning.

"I see, " said Lola.

It was almost evening. Lola picked Janet up, and they went to Eason's studio together. Anna and Selina were already there.

"Janet, come over here. What do you think about this dress?" asked Selina. Anna asked Selina to go to Carol's birthday party with her, so they went here to pick out some dresses.

Not long after, Angela and Daisy also arrived.

Janet was confused. Who was Carol? Anna and Lola did not like this kind of party, but they both decided to attend it.

Daisy had noticed that Janet was lost in thought after she saw them, so she explained to Janet, "I don't want to go either, but Chuck said that I should bring Angela to the party, so she can socialize. And I have no excuse, so here we are."

Chuck thought that Angela's friends were crass, so he wanted her to attend the party to make acquaintances with proper gentlemen and ladies.

Angela had no interest in all of these too, but her spirits lifted when she saw Janet and Selina. "Selina, Janet, which ones are you going to wear? Please come over and help me pick one for the party, " said Angela.

Daisy looked at Angela and shook her head quietly. She was afraid that Chuck was right. Angela should hang out more with women from decent families, so she could act like a lady and think like a woman.

"Angela, try this one on, " said Janet. Janet picked out a pink spaghetti-strapped dress for Angela. It was cute, but not too revealing.

Pink was suitable for Angela's age.

Angela took the dress from Janet and went to the fitting room. Meanwhile, Selina pointed at a dress on a mannequin and said, "Jane, you should try that one. My father just won an award with it last month."

Janet looked in the direction she pointed to. It was a white sleeveless dress. Even though it was high-necked, the area above the chest was hollowed-out, finished with a silk ribbon around the neck.

The dress was loose at the waist and tight around the hips, with several big, flowers adorning the waist down. It was quite simple, but its elegance was a definite classic.

Janet loved it at first sight.

The clerk helped Janet take the dress off the mannequin so that Janet could try it on.

Selina was waiting for Janet outside the fitting room, while holding a green dress. After a while, Janet came out. She looked so breathtaking that Selina stared at her without blinking.

"Jane, it seems like that dress is tailor-made for you, " said Selina. She then held her phone up and took several pictures of Janet.

Then, she sent the pictures in their group chat.

Janet had put her phone down when she got changed, so she had no idea what Selina did.

Daisy had the exact same look as Selina when she saw Janet in the dress. She suggested, "Jane, you should wear that tonight. It looks fantastic on you!"

Anna came over after she overheard what Daisy said. "It looks great on you, Jane, " said Anna. She then looked at Selina and said, "Selina, you should take the green one."

Selina checked out the green dress Anna pointed to and said, "Why? It's ugly." She was confused.

"You will be the green leaf. Green leaves bring out the beauty of flowers, and Jane is the beautiful flower, " said Anna with a mischievous smile.
