FULL NOVELXO Chapter 20 The Mysterious Duncans
"Family..."
Jane was upset. She didn't want to face the whole family, especially William. She was worried that he would throw the divorce agreement onto her face. At that time, even if she begged, it would be useless.
Therefore, the best way was to stay away from William so as to maintain the marriage until she found out what was behind the kidnapping.
"Yes. William had the business trip postponed and he'll be home at four o'clock."
Lainey finished and said nothing more.
They arrived at the suburb, which was famous for being a rich community in the city.
The Duncan's was located halfway up the mountain, but the road was well built and it was not steep.
Although Jane had the female lead's memories, she was still shocked by the house in front of her. The shock in her heart was indescribable.
She thought that living in a villa was amazing, especially in City J where the land was so expensive.
As for the Duncan's, it had the style of the 30s. It was somewhat vintage, but each wall and roof was delicately designed.
Not only were there rockery gardens, there was also a large artificial lake. Surrounded by mountains and water, those outsiders would probably think that this was a scenic spot.
But the most mysterious thing about the Duncan family was its background.
The female lead was raised up by Colin, so she had understandings about the family. It wasn't a nouveau riche family but was very rich a long time ago.
The family had properties in all industries around the world, and perhaps even William didn't how much money the family had.
The family had so many antiques, whose value was immeasurable.
"Jane is back. Let me take a look!"
Just as Jane got out of the car, a gray-haired old man in a wheelchair came out from the entrance. The man's beard was gray as well, but he looked pretty vigorous. "Grandfather, why are you here?"
The female lead's feeling made Jane extremely close to the old man. Colin was doing well. He heard that Jane had been abducted and fell down out of anxiety, so he had to use a wheelchair. "With this wheelchair, I can be mobile."
The old man glared at and complained about the servants. His grandson instructed them to nourish him by feeding him pork bone soup.
The old man hated bland food. He especially loved sweet foods. He thought that when Jane came back, he could grab a piece to satisfy himself.
"Grandfather, William is doing this for you, so don't be angry."
Jane stepped forward, pushed the wheelchair, and spoke to the old man with a smile.
Before coming here, she was a little worried that she would be stilted. However, when she saw Colin, she immediately felt an intimacy from the bottom of her heart.
"Save it, you're a couple. You're defending that bastard."
Colin waved his hand and then winked at Jane, signaling her to rid the servants and talk to him alone.
Jane could not help feeling funny in her heart.
The mysterious William was a bastard to Colin. Indeed, there would always be someone conquering another.
Colin turned around and saw that his granddaughter-in-law was happy and his mood improved.
William didn't like Jane. He strongly opposed to it back then, but the old man had been there. In reality, the so-called love at first sight did not exist. It was all about appearance. Only by getting along would they fall for each other and live together forever.
