Chapter 758 Humiliate You?
Jane's handbag suddenly vibrated. She took out her phone and saw a text message from Natalie.
Natalie: [Jane, where are you? I'm here, looking for you.]
Natalie did not mention that she was invited by Richard, nor did she mention what she saw or heard. She pretended to be completely unaware.
Jane instinctively frowned.
'Why is Natalie here?'
Ann knew about her relationship with Natalie and always looked down on Natalie, so it was impossible for Ann to invite Natalie here, unless…
'It must be Oliver.'
Jane's worries eased a bit. At least Oliver was here, so Natalie would not be harassed or insulted by those people.
Jane quickly replied to the message.
Jane: [Find a place to sit for a while. I'll come find you soon.]
…
Natalie recalled the layout of CY Manor and quickly arranged a meeting place with Jane.
"We should go first," Natalie said before she held Oliver's hand and walked to the agreed place. After just a few steps, she suddenly realized that the maids were looking at their hands with a strange expression.
In this circle, most people considered holding hands to be an immature behavior. Holding her male partner’s arm was considered appropriate behavior for this kind of occasion.
Just as Natalie was about to change her hand position to hold Oliver's arm, he turned his hand and grasped her hand before he cast a cold gaze at the maids.
The maids were startled and immediately averted their eyes, pretending to do their own things.
Natalie seemed to see a rebellious and untamed aura emanating from Oliver, as if saying, 'I want to hold your hand no matter what.'
Indeed, no one could do anything to him.
…
Jane quickly adjusted her mood and was about to leave the restroom when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.
"Anthony, why are you here? Mrs. Clark is looking for you everywhere!"
"Where's Jane?"
"Anthony, you're getting married soon. Your fiancee is Aurora. Why are you so fixated on Jane, who has nothing left but her beauty?"
"I'm asking about Jane! Did you see her or not? Where's she?"
"Anthony, there's no future for you and Jane. You should..."
"I'm asking you, where's she?!"
Anthony was furious and extremely frustrated.
"In the restroom. I think I saw her enter the one in front just now," the maid said, frightened.
"Shut your mouth. Don't forget, the true head of the Clark family is me!"
"Yes, I won't tell Mrs. Clark about what I saw!"
'Anthony is here!'
Jane hesitated for a brief moment and opened the door before Anthony arrived, wanting to leave. Just as she stepped out of the restroom, she caught a glimpse of a tall figure approaching, the sound of his dress shoes on the floor rang in the air.
Jane pretended not to see and quickened her pace. Just as she turned the corner, her wrist was grabbed and she was forcefully pulled back against the wall!
Jane's body collided with the wall, but it did not hurt. Instead, it was a complete sense of humiliation that overwhelmed her.
"Let go of me... Let go..." Jane protested and struggled as she was dragged into the restroom again.
"Anthony, that’s the women's restroom," the maid reminded. However, when she saw Anthony’s angry gaze, she quickly changed her words and said, "I… I didn't see anything!"
"Get lost!"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"
"Anthony, are you crazy? Let go of me! You're disgusting," Jane said furiously. She tried to remove Anthony’s hand from her wrist, but it would not budge; she only succeeded in hurting her own wrist.
"We've kissed and slept together, but you still find me disgusting?" Anthony said with a sneer.
"Yes, you’re disgusting!" Jane said, infuriated, "Let go of me!"
The maid, who overheard a bit of the conversation, was puzzled.
'Are they always so… open with their conversations? And she has no restraint that comes with being a socialite and a member of a prestigious family!'
Jane felt a chill down her spine as she was pressed against the cold tile wall by Anthony. He towered over her and looked at her with his handsome face. Once again, she envied Natalie for being three or four centimeters taller. Being a little taller would give her more dominance in this situation.
With the restroom door tightly shut, isolating all sounds, only the sounds of their breathing remained.
This was a corner of the Clark family, with few visitors, and the servants would never have the audacity to barge in without permission. Jane knew that at this moment, being pressed against the wall by Anthony was like being a fish ready to be slaughtered, with no room for resistance.
However, she still wanted to struggle. She was simply too unwilling!
Jane suddenly lifted her leg and kicked toward Anthony's vulnerable spot.
Anthony was prepared and dodged to the side.
Jane continued to attack, while Anthony defended himself. In just a blink of an eye, she had already attacked thrice.
Jane found herself pinned against the marble countertop by Anthony's swift actions. She was forced to bend her waist and straighten her chest while Anthony stood closely behind her. His eyes were fixed on her reflection in the mirror.
"Anthony, why haven't you changed into a decent suit for your engagement today? And did you even bother to fix your hair? Is the Clark family only pretending to be wealthy? Can't you even afford a tailored suit?" Jane asked with a sneer as she looked at Anthony's reflection in the mirror.
He was wearing a simple and casual black suit, which looked expensive and well-made, and his hair was casually tousled. If it was not for the fact that Jane knew today was his engagement party, no one would have guessed that this was the groom-to-be standing before her.
"Do you really think the Clark family is all show, Jane? Do you really not know?" Anthony asked meaningfully.
Of course, Jane knew. The Clark family had truly become wealthy, making a comeback to the top ten influential families in the country through their own efforts. In the future, they would definitely be able to rival the Windsor family.
"I don't keep up with the Clark family's finances, so how would I know?" Jane laughed and said, "I've fallen on hard times now. If it was not for the fact that they wanted to humiliate me, I wouldn't even qualify to enter the Clark family's door. How could I possibly know? Anthony, you really overestimate me."
"Humiliate you?"
Anthony's eyes widened.
Apart from the word 'humiliate', Anthony also felt that the words 'fallen on hard times' pierce his heart.
He had heard others describe Jane this way before, saying that the once-famous socialite had fallen on hard times. However, now that he heard Jane describing herself like this, his heart felt as though it had been stabbed by a poisoned knife. The pain made it difficult for him to breathe for a moment.
"Jane..."
