Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart novel Chapter 123

Jane refused. William kept a low profile, wishing that no one would remember his appearance. He rarely appeared in public. Her face had been known to the public when she broadcast the shareholders' meeting live.

Traveling by plane would cost public resources. The public was hostile to the rich. There was no need to arouse their hatred.

William's apartment was highly private and safe. Moreover, she could be at home when she invited Pearl over.

After thinking carefully, Jane decided to move to the apartment for a few days and then move back on New Year's Eve.

"Alright, Madam. You can bring a suitcase to carry the toiletries, clothes, and Dayton’s homework. I'm so worried since there will be no one from home to take care of you."

Lainey reminded Jane one thing after another.

Although Dayton did not go to kindergarten, the teacher had assigned a lot of homework for him to do in the winter vacation.

William didn't allow outsiders to enter his apartment, so Jane could only do the housework herself.

Jane packed her things. It took her three hours to drive from the Duncan's to William's apartment.

It was not the main road. The snow was too thick. Jane didn't dare to speed up, so she had to drive slowly. This was the first time Dayton had left the Duncan's. He was very curious and kept looking out of the window along the way.

The phone rang.

"Hello."

Jane answered and turned on the speaker. She had just arrived at the garage.

"Janie, it's me, Pearl."

Pearl called. She was with Sophia, hoping that the three of them could have a meeting.

"Mommy, do you have something to do?"

Dayton said thoughtfully. If Mommy was busy, he could stay at home alone.

"Then come to my house," Jane said.

Jane hesitated. She had to take Dayton wherever she went now. William was a neat freak. Every time Lainey came to clean the house, she had to wear shoe covers and a hat.

William hated to touch people and tried his best to be neat. Women's hair was the most unbearable thing for him.

If possible, Jane didn't want to invite her friends to his apartment because she didn't inform him in advance.

"You're at the International Mansion? That's Mr. William's place. We had better not go there."

On the phone, Pearl laughed naughtily. She knew William was paranoid.

"You know that?"

Jane didn't say everything straightly, but Pearl understood her, which touched Jane greatly.

After all, William was undeniably picky.

"Of course. Illness makes the patient a doctor. Back then, I was seriously depressed and majored in psychology."

William's fingernails were neat. He would fasten all the buttons of his suit and shirt tightly, including the top one. He was so aloof that there seemed to be cold air flowing from his body. He also had a strong aura of abstinence.

First, he looked down on women and even didn't like them.

Second, he was a neat freak.

Third, he was obsessive, paranoid in some aspects, and different from ordinary people.

Pearl quickly concluded three points. William had a considerate side. Pearl believed that William absolutely loved Jane.

He was indeed considerate as he would be worried about his wife and ask Pearl to be with Jane even if he was only going out for a short while!

Jane was at a loss for words.

She found that Pearl said it all right.

Pearl said, "Alright, so much for joking. I'm at the International Mansion. Come to my house."

Pearl gave Jane the floor and room number of her apartment. Jane found that Pearl was actually living in the same building as William, only on different floors.

"William lives upstairs?"

Pearl couldn't believe it. She had lived here for a while and had never seen William.

The International Mansion kept the information of every resident strictly confidential, so no one could pry into anything from the security guards.

Only proprietors were allowed to live here. All rooms were prohibited from being rented out so that safety could be ensured.

"Ok, I'll bring my son with me."

Jane went upstairs, tidied up her things, and headed straight for Pearl's apartment.

"Janie, I haven't seen you for a few days. You've lost weight again."

Sophia greeted Jane calmly. Afterward, her eyes shone as she looked at Dayton as if she was to pounce on him.

Dayton shyly hid behind Jane. The strange woman in front of him was so scary!

"Tell me, what's your name?"

Sophia rubbed her hands. What should she do? She couldn't help but want to pinch Dayton's cute face.

Dayton was a miniature version of William, but he looked exceptionally cute and not aloof at all.

"Dayton."

Dayton's face turned red as he stuck out half of his head. The strange woman didn't seem to have any malicious intentions.

"Dayton, you're so cute!"

Sophia stared at Dayton, almost drooling.

"Thank you, lady. You are very beautiful."

Dayton praised politely. Sophia immediately took it seriously and look very happy.

Pearl was even less resistant to Dayton and joked with him for a while with Sophia.

Finally, Dayton ran to Jane's side, pulled her arm, and whispered, "Mommy, let's go home."

"I heard that there are monsters who eat children under the disguise of beautiful women. I don’t want to be eaten," said Dayton.

"Dayton, how about doing your homework?" asked Jane.

Pearl's apartment was very big, so Jane found a guest room for Dayton.

This time, Pearl invited Sophia over to talk about the drugged wine on Princess Faith.

"Jane, I really envy you. Your son is so good and well taught."

Pearl let out a low cry of envy and then went straight to the point.

"I drank that glass of wine that night, and I found that something was wrong with me at the ball."

Sophia was still very ashamed when she mentioned her physical reaction.

It was dim and people were pushing each other at the party. She suffered from wandering hands several times.

Afterward, that dark song brought her back to the senses.

"After that, I couldn't take it anymore, so I went back to my room early."

Sophia's face flushed. She did not know why Andrew would appear in her room.

Sophia was unable to recall what had happened in detail.

"Alright, that's enough. We all get it."

Pearl smiled and quickly pulled out one of Sophia's hair. Jane also gave one of hers.

"Hallucinogen was added to the wine. It is a kind of mild drug and doesn't stay as long in the urine and blood as in the hair of the person who takes the drug."

After testing, Jane's hair was negative, while Sophia's was positive.

"Thank you very much. I must leave now."

Sophia's pupils dilated when she saw the result.

She needed a physical examination to see how dependent she was on drugs.

Sophia hurried away from Pearl's apartment, and Pearl's expression immediately changed. She smiled and said, "Jane, Sophia said that she didn't know how she got laid with Andrew. What do you think?"

"This has nothing to do with us."

It was obvious. How could Andrew go to Sophia's room for no reason, not to mention that he was drunk?

Apparently, someone was helping Sophia.

However, Sophia didn't expect that Daisy and her mother would add the drug to her wine. Judging from her panicked expression, she might have thought of something.

After all, they were not on the same boat. They only had shared interests for the time being and might not be friends in the future.

"By the way, Daisy and her mother are truly unbeatable. Daisy's fiancée was now engaged to Sophia, but she just let it go as if nothing has happened."

Pearl took out an invitation letter from her bag. The jewelry brand owned by the Cart Group was going to release new products and had invited the ladies in the upper class to attend.

"I didn't get the invitation."

Jane spread out her hands. She heard that Daisy also took over a luxury jewelry company, preparing to go against Jane's Only One.

However, it didn't matter to her.

Daisy was a professional, so what? Jane would never be defeated in terms of jewelry design!
