Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart novel Chapter 142

The Cart Group grew larger and larger by virtue of drug traffic. Otherwise, in a situation where the economy was in poor condition, how could it maintain stability?

"But, this is a crime!"

Daisy sat on the ground and was so surprised that she couldn't speak. Did her family rely on these to accumulate wealth? She never knew.

She suddenly discovered a cruel truth. All these years, she had always been a naïve daughter of a wealthy family.

Her mother, who did charity and had prestige, turned out to be a drug dealer.

Mrs. Cart said, "That's why Keith dared not to divorce me although he was annoyed with me using billions from the Cart Group to help your uncle's company."

Mrs. Cart sneered, because both of them got the goods on each other. If they really wanted to fight to the death, then no one would be able to live.

Keith didn't dare, at least not now.

But he was ruthless, and Mrs. Cart had to be wary of him letting her take the blame, so she was also scheming.

"Daisy, we won't be able to get out of here once we start doing this."

Mrs. Cart shook her head. Almost all the jewelry companies in Southeast Asia were doing dishonest advertising.

So, whether it was to compete with Jane for jewelry, she did not care at all.

She couldn't get out of it. She would be toast if someone found her involved in it.

But in her position, money could save everything, so she was not worried about being exposed at all.

"So, you told me not to be stubborn. This is the truth?"

Daisy lost her wits and her spirit.

She returned from studying abroad and was full of passion, wanting to inherit the jewelry company at home. But the cruel reality gave her a resounding slap.

"Do you think that doing a clean business is very profitable?"

Mrs. Cart laughed loudly. Both the Floyd Group and the Duncan Group had a bit of shady business behind the scenes. When William expanded his business in the past, he had forced people to die.

No one's money was clean. Money was a dirty thing.

"But the Clark family's partner ran away and the Clark family was tricked by their relatives again..."

Andrew was investigating this matter. Mrs. Cart had found out through the gossip, so she naturally couldn't hide it from Daisy.

"Well, even if the Duncans' money is clean, their expansion caused Nelson to commit suicide. His son will definitely come for revenge."

Many things had happened in the Duncan Group this time, although they had all been suppressed.

What was so good about being Mrs. Duncan? Jane was kidnapped and stabbed, so badly injured.

Mrs. Cart only wanted to tell her daughter to stay away from William and be careful not to be killed. Daisy might not be as lucky as Jane.

Daisy did not speak. She was dumbfounded and confused.

...

In the winter, shadows were very long under the street lamps.

Jane had a fast meal with her son and let him sit in the car. She stood by the roadside and waited for someone.

At the corner stood a black shadow, and this black shadow had been following her for a long time.

"Darling, I'm downstairs. Dayton is in the car."

Jane sent a message to William and quickly changed her position. The black shadow also moved as she moved.

Who was this pervert?

She deliberately turned around and entered the small alley next to her. The black shadow also followed in.

Right now!

She turned around and ran towards the black shadow, and then did a nice shoulder throw!

"My waist is broken!"

The black shadow wailed.

There were no accomplices in the surroundings.

She was a little relieved. She clenched the electric baton in her hand and was ready to beat him.

Nowadays, women had to learn to protect their safety, not to mention that she might be in danger.

"Who the hell are you?"

She used her phone to illuminate the black shadow.

The black shadow was a young man, dressed in black clothes and wearing a hat. He had a nice look and did not look like a wretched man.

"Hey, don't hit me!"

The black shadow crawled up from the ground and wailed for a long time.

In the middle of winter, the ground was frozen hard, and it was especially easy to get hurt if one fell.

It was almost the New Year, and he did not want to be paralyzed in bed.

The black shadow did not speak and confronted Jane.

After William finished his meeting, he pushed the documents on the table to Frederic and quickly went downstairs.

He heard that his wife was in the alley, so he rushed over.

"What are you doing?"

The scene in front of him stunned him.

"Darling, you're back?"

It was rare for Jane to show a smile. She happened to be nearby with her son, thinking of waiting for him to go home together.

It was too late, and Dayton was already too sleepy to open his eyes.

"Just end the meeting."

William nodded and pointed to the black shadow on the ground. "Robert, do you want to have a drink?"

"What?"

Jane paused. This name was a little familiar. Someone she knew?

"I don't drink anymore. William, when did Jane learn martial arts?"

Robert Sheen grimaced in pain. It really hurt. He was not pretending!

He had to apply for some medicine when he got home, or he would not be able to get up in two days.

What bad luck! Was he being treated as a wretched man? He didn't do anything. He just thought that Jane was not safe alone at midnight.

Being treated as a wretched man, Robert wanted to cry.

"Well..."

Jane was awkward. Because the black shadow had been there all this time and it was midnight, she thought that he had followed her here.

"I'm innocent! I'm innocent!"

Robert raised his hand, twisted it, and shouted.

He came back from abroad and had not seen William yet. He was in the operation all day long and had just made time to meet his old friend.

He and his sister were both orphans who were abandoned by their parents. It was all thanks to the Duncans that they had achieved what they were today.

William was a benefactor and also a friend to them.

At night, his sister called to praise Jane, so he was also curious.

As a result, he was injured.

"Sorry, you are all in black, and it's almost midnight. I thought you were..."

Jane apologized. Fortunately, she only used a shoulder throw and did not use the electric baton. Otherwise, it would be terrible to cause another injury.

Robert was speechless.

It cost so much just to see William!

"Let's go. I'll send you home first."

William had no expression, but he was gloating, with his eyes full of joys. He had no intention of blaming his wife at all. She was supposed to be careful.

Robert was speechless. He felt like he had been shot in the chest again!

In the car, the atmosphere was lively.

William casually said as he drove, "Robert, have you considered your marriage since we are the same age?"

Robert was depressed. He was already thirty years old, but he had always been studying all the time. Every day, he would face either patients or corpses. How could there be a girl for him to meet?

William asked such a heart-wrenching question the moment he came. It was really unfriendly to a bachelor.

"Why don't you introduce a girl to me?"

Robert asked shamelessly. He had just returned to China and hadn't come into contact with women.

"No."

William decisively refused. When he faced Robert's puzzled eyes, he added, "Your waist is not good."

Robert was stunned. Too terrifying! He was going to stay away from this terrible couple!
