Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart

Chapter 97 Andrew's Fiancée

"The doctor said that he was out of danger, but why hasn't Grandpa woken up yet?" All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Jane secretly sighed. She had gotten used to Collin's yells and shouts. Now the sight of him lying on

the hospital bed with plenty of tubes stuck in his body made Jane feel bad.

"Madam, relax. It's not the New Year yet. Master Duncan will definitely wake up by New Year's Eve. He

mentioned last month that he will give you a big red packet."

Lainey poured Jane a cup of tea.

It was said that true sentiments are seen in hard times. Lainey had understood it since Mr. Duncan had

fainted. Madam had been worried all the time.

"Only if he could wake up."

Jane's eyes turned red. She turned around and sniffed.

Master Duncan was extremely good to the female lead, even better than to Dayton.

Every year after Jane moved in, she got a red packet from Collin. Master Duncan was just like any

other parent. He secretly went to the bank to queue up for consecutive serial number banknotes as

New Year's money for her.

Money was more than a number. It was a show of love.

During the first several days of Collin's coma, Jane had been optimistic. She went to the ward a few

times a day, hoping that he would wake up.

As time went by, Collin looked worse and worse. His muscles had shrunk a bit. Although he was out of

danger, he refused to open his eyes.

She didn't dare to go out because she was afraid that Collin would wake up and couldn't see her when

she was away.

William was busy with his work. Dayton was at kindergarten hence someone had to stay home.

After the shareholders' meeting, Jane became a trending topic and the media all wanted to give her an

exclusive interview, but she refused all.

The work of the jewelry company was done by mail.

"Madam, Miss Rich called just now. She wants to invite you to a spa club."

Lainey patted Jane on the shoulder. Jane had shut herself in for more than a week, she needed going

out to relax.

It was cold these days which was bad for her health. A spa would do her good.

"Miss Rich, Pearl Rich?"

Jane turned on her phone and found that her phone was dead. It might be that Pearl called her first but

failed then she called the Duncan's.

She didn't want to go, but Pearl had already set a time and place.

Then she thought about how strange Pearl acted last time when they talked about Collin. She

narrowed her eyes and decided to go.

"Lainey, please take good care of grandpa when I'm away. You need to give him a leg massage this

afternoon."

As long as Jane was home, she would do it herself. She had learned all this from the doctors. But when

she needed to go out and wasn't sure when she would be back, she could only ask for Lainey's help.

"Don't worry, madam. I know how to do it."

Lainey watched Jane's car leave the door and sighed, "Master Duncan, wake up, please. It's so

depressing now."

...

In-car navigation helped her find the way to the place Pearl told her, XF Women's Spa Club.

There was a flower basket at the entrance. The place didn't look big, at least not a place where rich

girls would often meet and hang out.

Jane arrived half an hour earlier, but Pearl was already waiting inside.

"Janie. Let me call you like this."

Pearl had the waiter serve tea and fruit plates then she poured tea for Jane.

They used to go to the same school. Pearl didn't like Jane being weak and brainless, but after the

shareholders' meeting, she suddenly changed her view of Jane.

Time changes everything.

No matter what one was like, one would change one day.

"Sure."

Jane looked around and found that the decoration of this women's clubhouse looked exceptionally

elegant.

"This clubhouse is soft-opening. It's not officially open yet."

Pearl stood up and closed the door, "It's just you and me."

She mentioned earlier that she wanted to invite Jane to a spa, the reason she chose this place was

only for the safety of their conversation.

Of course, it was not classy enough for Mrs. Duncan.

"I know the Duncans have specialized body beauticians. But I am only from a nouveau riche family, this

is the classiest place I can get."

Pearl took a sip of tea and mocked herself.

Because of her background, she had always been the target of ridicule in noble schools.

Whatever her schoolmates were wearing, however expensive they cost, her parents would buy the

same for her.

But it only made them despise her more. She was different from those rich kids.

"What time do you live in? What are you saying?"

Without outsiders, Jane leaned against the sofa at ease.

Pearl was the apple of her family's eye. But she and the female lead were both orphans. She couldn't

envy Pearl more.

"Alright, let's not talk about this."

Pearl discovered that it had taken her years to walk out of her inferiority complex, while Jane had long

since been over it.

"Last time, Andrew stood me up on a date. So I went to the Andrew's to find him."

Pearl wanted to tell Jane the whole story. She was so angry back then, so she called Jane while

Master Andrew and the others were all there.

"It's fine. Even if you didn't call, he could have guessed himself."

Jane waved her hand. She didn't mind at all. Pearl might be tricking her to say something. She must be

very careful.

"Then how did you get along with Andrew?"

Andrew was hilarious and a narcissist. He had at least a dozen of girlfriends. But he didn't look like an

unfaithful man.

They hadn't spent much time together, so Jane couldn't say for sure.

"Janie, the Floyds don't like me."

Pearl smiled bitterly. The past was over, and she had reached the age to get married. She didn't want

her parents to worry about her.

So when she learned that Andrew was going on a date with her, she started to prepare very early in the

morning and paid a few professional stylists to do her hair, makeup, and everything.

The Rich family used the relocation compensation to dig coal mines and had quickly earned a fortune.

Now, they had several profitable diamond mines in South Africa.

So the Rich family was a match for the Floyd family in terms of wealth, but not in terms of background.

The Floyd family had become rich a few lifetimes ago. They disdained her.

"I just wanted to complain, but Andrew's grandmother characterizes me as a narrow-minded bitch."

Which made Pearl very sad.

There were many rules set for daughters-in-law in wealthy families, but she was rich herself, so why

should she abide by those rules?

Couldn't she complain even if her husband spent the night with other women in the future?

Though Pearl liked Andrew, she couldn't stand the Floyds' arrogance. And her father loved her so

much that wouldn't stand it either, so the two families ended in mutual resentment.

"If you really like Andrew, you can fight for it."

Jane could not give much advice. She was a mother as soon as she came into this world. Now her son

was five years old, she didn't know much about life either.

Like what was love? She didn't know.

"Janie, I feel really better to say that out."

Pearl shook her head. Perhaps ordinary people could fight for it, but people like them couldn't.

Marriage was nothing but business.

The two got together because they were a match not because they loved each other.

After everything was done with the Rich family, Andrew got engaged.

"What?"

Jane was surprised. She hadn't seen him for the past few days. Was he engaged? If that was the case,

William should have told her.

"You know his fiancée."

Pearl observed Jane's expression. It seemed that she really did not know this thing.
