Chapter 26 I Came to Take Back My Hair
Janet saw the Bentley car, which was not that far ahead. The window of the back seat door was open, and she saw that there was a woman sitting inside.
She pointed at the woman, and said, "Mother*, let everything be as it should be!"
(*TN: Here mother means sworn mother.)
Janet understood Lola's high expectations, but she didn't understand what she had to do with her feelings.
Looking towards the direction where Janet's finger was pointing at, Lola saw Daniel walk towards his car, and as he approached it, the woman got out of the black Bentley and happily threw herself into Daniel's
arms.
Holding Kate's waist, they came towards Lola and Janet and they stopped in front of them, Daniel said, "Father, mother, this is my girlfriend, Kate Song."
'Kate Song?" "CEO of Changsheng Co., Ltd." Harry, who stood beside them, on seeing her had already known of her strong background.
"Hello, and indeed, I am Kate Song, the CEO of Changsheng. Pleased to finally meet you." Kate made decent greetings to the two elders. Her politeness and sweet smiles made Janet feel kind of uneasy. She finally discovered one fact, and that was that most girls, such as Nicole and Kate, behaved very decently and composedly in society. But, unlike them, she was always crazy and in a bad temper, and very, very wayward...
Lola simply returned her a smile, and Harry said something more, "Miss Song, you have a good reputation in the business circles, that you are always composed and decisive at work. Daniel is the same. I wonder if it really is suitable for you two strong individuals to be together."
Kate's smile became rigid at one moment, and then said, "Mr. Si, I would restrain myself and be the woman behind Daniel if that is his true wish."
Obviously, Harry didn't agree that this woman be his son's girlfriend. He again broke off his usual silence, and said, "But I have recently heard of your engagement with Mr. Feng, and you're now saying to us that you are Daniel's girlfriend. Could you explain?"
Kate's face instantly turned pale. She had forgot about one essential thing, that the Si family was at the top of C Country society, and that if any girl would happen to approach Daniel, his father Harry was sure to investigate that girl's background to the bone.
Janet looked at Kate, shocked. 'Daniel's girlfriend already had an engagement with another man. So did this mean that Daniel would rather have a girlfriend who had already been engaged to another man than me approaching him?'
Janet seemed to know how much Daniel hated her.
"Mr. Si, I will solve this engagement problem. Leon Feng is thirty years older than me, and I absolutely will not agree to marry him, " replied Kate. Kate took a deep breath and then gripped Daniel's hand. 'Why won't Daniel help me? Say something!' she thought.
Lola then smiled and looked at Kate: "There is no need to do anything with your engagement, actually. I think it's too much going on between you and Daniel, and so Daniel will make the engagement with Jane instead, and I'm sure that Jane is the perfect daughter-in-law for me."
Janet wanted to speak, but Lola gripped her hands tight, and gave her a look that indicated only silence.
Kate was well aware about her position. She looked at the little girl and tittered in her mind. She then said, "Mrs. Si, I love Daniel very much, and I will make any efforts needed for our relationship to stay strong."
Daniel finally uttered some words: "Father, mother, we'll go first; Kate will stay with me tonight..."
Then they left.
Lola was shocked, and she wondered, 'Does my son really love Kate that much? He really is taking her to his own mansion!' she thought.
This was not a good sign. She said, "Jane, I hate Kate, but you are closer to Daniel. Go and get that girl away from Daniel!" Lola was certain in her heart that her son had some special feelings not yet unearthed towards Jane, and she was certain she wasn't wrong about this.
"Me?" asked Jane. She looked at Lola with surprise, and thought, 'Isn't it better if his own father and mother go out and stop him? Even his sisters, Nicole and Sally, would be better persons to do this. Why me, an outsider, has to do this?'
"Yes, Jane, go. Last time you spent a whole night with Daniel in his mansion, right?" 'Jane, you stupid kid. Why not give it a try?' Lola thought. Judging from the fact that she was brought home by Daniel, Lola quite understood what her son was really thinking about.
Harry looked at the girl, who was now in a daze. He smiled, and said, "Jane, go!"
Without understanding what was happening, Janet drove her car and went after the Bentley.
At the Royal Mansion.
Daniel got out of the car and was just about to let Spark drive Kate back to her home.
But he caught a glimpse of the Benz in the distance, and then opened the back seat's door again and took Kate's hand to help her get out of the car.
He opened the mansion's gates and Janet rushed in through them and arrived at the house before them.
Kate looked at the girl who was standing in their way with surprise in her eyes, "Why have you come to my boyfriend's house?" This was the first time Kate had arrived at Daniel's mansion, and in her mind she was very excited about this event.
Janet really didn't understand why either, 'That's right. Why did I come to her boyfriend's home?' Thinking of what Lola said, she guessed her sworn mother wanted her to get Kate away from Daniel. So she regained her confidence, and arrogantly said, "I came to... take back my hair."
Daniel and Kate were perplexed. What tricks was Janet playing now?
"Well, last time when I slept in your boyfriend's arms, some of my hair strands were shed on his bed. I have to get them..."
Then she ran upstairs, but Daniel ran faster than her and caught and dragged her by her clothes and threw her back out the door. Kate's anger was now gone, having seen what happened before her eyes.
"Daniel, let's go inside now."
"OK!"
The mansion's doors were now closed. No matter how hard Janet knocked at the door, he just refused to open it.
Five minutes later, Janet was sitting on the doorsill with her cheeks in her hands, not knowing what to do next.
Why did her sworn mother force her to come here? Why?
Failing in figuring these things out by her own, Janet gave up the thinking and proceeded to do the doing, and went around Daniel's mansion. She then decided to enter his room the same way as Daniel had entered hers.
She found a big tree next to the house and easily began to climb up on it.
Then she stretched out her right arm, but the distance between the tree and the balcony was far beyond her grip.
She saw the two figures in the room, hugging each other. Janet gathered up all the courage in her and released her hands and jumped to the balcony.
Daniel had just left Kate in the guest room when he heard noise coming from the windows. He thought of that woman again. 'Damn, don't tell me Janet is trying to come in from the balcony, as I did, ' he thought.
The distance between the tree in the Shao mansion and the balcony was closer than that of his own balcony and the tree. It was too far for Janet to jump.
He quickly went to the window and opened it, but could find no one there. He then checked around the windows of the balcony, but still there was no one.
"Help..."
A feeble voice was coming from down below his feet. Daniel's heart started beating faster when he saw what was happening.
Janet was gripping the edges of his balcony and her whole body was swaying in the air.
Frowning, Daniel opened the balcony's window, bent down, caught her arms and pulled her up to safety. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
