CHAPTER 576: CHAPTER 284: FIND OUT IF JANE QUINLAN IS DIRECTOR FORREST’S GIRLFRIEND (2 UPDATES)

Wendy immediately returned to Kay Forrest’s desk: "Director Forrest, you’ve misunderstood.

I was actually just trying to ask for a leave.

I had packed up my things just now, but then you mentioned overtime, and I didn’t dare to speak up for a moment, which is why I was hesitating and looking around."

"A leave?" Kay Forrest raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, I have some personal matters to attend to tonight, may I not work overtime?

I promise, any work I fall behind on today, I will make up for first thing tomorrow morning."

Kay Forrest’s frown slightly deepened: "Go ahead."

"Thank you, Director Forrest."

Wendy, feeling pardoned, bowed and then turned to leave.

Kay Forrest stayed to work overtime alone, but Wendy didn’t actually leave the company. Instead, she waited in the corridor for a while.

Seeing that no one was coming up in the elevator and there was no movement in the office, she then went downstairs feeling puzzled.

Arriving at the parking lot, she had intended to drive away.

But then she thought that Director Forrest would probably take Jane Quinlan with him when leaving work.

So she simply went around in circles until she found Kay Forrest’s parking space.

By this time, most of the company’s employees had left, and there were plenty of parking spots.

She parked her car opposite Kay Forrest’s spot.

She was determined to find out whether Jane Quinlan was truly Director Forrest’s girlfriend or not.

If someone like Jane Quinlan could make it, then she stood an even better chance.

When Jane Quinlan arrived at the newspaper office, Daisy Zenith had already been waiting downstairs for quite a while.

As soon as they met each other, Daisy Zenith immediately went up to embrace Jane Quinlan and started to cry: "Jane, I can’t take it anymore, I’m so angry I could die."

"What’s up with you?" Jane Quinlan patted Daisy Zenith’s back.

Having been friends with Daisy Zenith for so many years, Jane had never seen her cry like this.

"Your brother is being too unfair—he wants to break up with me."

"What?" Jane Quinlan pushed Daisy Zenith away to look at her: "What happened?"

"A few days ago, I told my parents about my relationship with Benjamin Quinlan.

After all, I’m quite satisfied with him, and I’m not getting any younger. I was earnest about getting married.

I always figured, since he’s the person I like, naturally I want my parents to help me check him out.

But as soon as I mentioned this, your brother got angry.

He said that we haven’t known each other for long and there’s no rush to meet the parents.

He also said marriage is a serious matter and I shouldn’t be so rash.

I was so angry that I started arguing with him then and there.

How could that be considered rash? It’s because I like him that I want to marry him.

But he accused me of not trusting him.

He said that I didn’t really see him as a boyfriend, but merely as someone who’s reached the suitable age for marriage.

We were originally planning to watch a movie together, but he just stormed off instead.

I thought it was just a minor quarrel. After arguing, we’d let out any frustration or misunderstandings—we’d talk it out and it would be fine.

But he was serious. He hasn’t come home for three days.

I could even live with that, but just now, I finally gathered the courage to call him, wanting to clear up any misunderstandings.

I don’t like giving each other the silent treatment, it feels so terrible every day.

But after he picked up my call, he actually told me that he’d thought it over and didn’t want to get married so soon, so he wanted to break up.

How can your brother do this to me?

If he didn’t want to get married, why did he take me to live with him at his place from the beginning?

If he didn’t want to be responsible, why did he sleep with me?"

Jane Quinlan was also somewhat angry. How could Benjamin Quinlan say such things? It really was infuriating.

"Alright, Daisy, don’t cry. I’ll call my brother."

She took out her phone and dialed Benjamin Quinlan’s number.

Her tone was a bit despondent: "Hello, Benjamin."

"Brother, where are you?"

Hearing Jane Quinlan’s tone, Benjamin Quinlan immediately asked: "Are you with Daisy?"

"Yes, brother, are you that kind of person?

Daisy is my best friend. I introduced her to you to foster a wonderful relationship.

But how can you break up after just a few days of being together?

Tell me, what did Daisy do wrong, or what did you do right?

Don’t you have any sense of responsibility left?"

Benjamin Quinlan sighed helplessly: "You just don’t understand. Daisy and I... we’re not suitable for each other."

"How are you not suitable?

If you knew you were unsuitable, why did you touch her?

Don’t you know some women are naturally traditional?"

"Traditional, huh, it’s not like it was our first time."

"Benjamin," Jane roared angrily, "How can you even call yourself human when you talk like that.

How are you any different from that bastard Xavier."

Daisy came over and asked anxiously, "What’s going on? Does your brother have an affair too?"

Jane shook her head: "My brother is not that kind of person. It’s her tone that pisses me off. Don’t worry, Daisy."

After saying that, she told Benjamin on the other end of the phone: "I am heading to your place with Daisy right now.

I’m giving you thirty minutes to come back and talk things through.

Speak up if anything’s wrong, and stop hiding your head and playing Black Turtle."

After hanging up, she grabbed Daisy, and they took a taxi to Benjamin’s house.

When they got there, they saw the clothes and underwear of two people hanging on the balcony.

She asked Daisy, "So you guys are living together now, huh?"

Daisy pouted, "I moved in during the second week we knew each other.

Your brother said it was convenient since it’s close to both of our workplaces.

I trusted him, so I didn’t think too much about it.

I never thought that I might have to move out just a few days after I moved in."

Daisy felt depressed as she spoke.

She slumped onto the sofa, "It’s not that I have no dignity, I’m just really angry.

I need to have a clear talk with your brother about this."

Jane patted her shoulder, "Don’t be too angry. If my brother did something wrong, I’ll definitely support justice over family."

Daisy leaned on Jane’s shoulder, "Jane, why are guys nowadays so unreliable."

"Daisy, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect my brother to hurt you."

When Benjamin returned, Jane was in the kitchen cooking noodles for them.

Seeing Benjamin, Daisy immediately stood up with an expression like she was looking at an enemy.

Benjamin glanced at Daisy, "Where’s Jane?"

"Kitchen."

He went to the kitchen and said, "Jane, I’m back."

The noodles were just ready, she turned off the stove: "Should we eat or talk first?"

"Talk first," Benjamin said as he tugged at his collar and sat down in the living room.

Jane sat next to Daisy, who kept a sullen face and remained silent.

Jane asked, "Brother, what’s going on? Daisy says you want to break up with her."

"Daisy Zenith, did I initiate the breakup?" Benjamin looked at Daisy.

Daisy turned her head away, "I said it in anger, but you were serious about it."

Jane looked at Daisy and pinched her, "You said it first."

"That’s not what I meant, he picked up a call, and I wanted him to come home, but he said he didn’t want to.

I said what’s the point of us being together if he wouldn’t come home.

Then he said he didn’t want to get married, that we’re not compatible, and suggested we should break up."

"Benjamin, dare you say the breakup you mentioned just now wasn’t serious?

I can break up with you, but you have to give me a convincing reason.

Where did I go wrong? All I did was ask you to meet my parents.

If you never intended to abandon me in midstream, why are you afraid to meet my parents?"

"I didn’t say I wouldn’t meet them, I just said it’s a bit early.

We’ve known each other for less than two months, you haven’t fully understood me.

I don’t completely understand you either, and under these circumstances, you want me to meet your parents.

Do you think that’s appropriate?"

"You think it’s too early to meet parents, but when you took me to your bed, why didn’t you say it was early then?

As a responsible man, would you say something like that?"

"You’re saying I’m irresponsible?

Fine, then you tell me, was the guy who slept with you before me responsible?"

"Benjamin, you’re shameless." Daisy stood up and pointed at him, "You’re implying that I’m tainted."

"Brother, how can you talk like that," Jane came up next to Benjamin and tapped him on the shoulder.

"You’re my own brother, how can you hurt my best friend like this.

Who hasn’t run into a jerk in their life?

By your logic, every woman who loved the wrong person at some point should just die, right?"

Seeing Jane getting angry, Benjamin exhaled sulkily, "Jane, this is none of your business, don’t butt in."

"Why can’t Jane butt in? She’s my best friend that I asked to come, it was her who connected you and me, she has every right to intervene."

The two of them started arguing, making Jane’s head spin. She was not good at dealing with conflicts.

One is her own brother, and the other is her best friend; this is a difficult situation.

Kay Forrest was so much better, never arguing with her.

Kay Forrest? That’s right, let’s ask Kay for help, he’s the smartest, he must have a solution.
