Chapter 64: Bane

&#lt;p&#gt;&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Hiffany pursed her ruddy lips, feeling helpless.She put away the design draft, stood up, and nodded.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Okay, we’ll go back and discuss it again.Sorry for bothering you two."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;When they entered the elevator, Tiffany turned to look at Janet.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"What happened? Did you offend that woman?" Janet didn’t know what to say.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The feud between her and the Lind family was complicated.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Well, that was a long time ago," she said, letting out a weary sigh.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Tiffany rubbed her temples and nodded.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She looked effortlessly beautiful when she arched her eyebrows.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I didn’t expect you to offend someone.After all, considering your kind nature, I didn’t think you were
capable of rubbing people the wrong way." A smile stretched across Janet’s lips.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Ms.Fisher, since they don’t want mine, why don’t we use someone else’s design?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yeah.That’s the only solution.We have no other choice."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Tiffany rubbed her sore shoulder and said, "We are so unlucky to have met such a vindictive client who
couldn’t draw a line between their professional and personal life.Well, you go back to the company
first.I’ll go to meet another client."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Janet nodded, thinking about how hard Tiffany worked every day. The elevator door opened, and the
two walked out, one after the other.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;However, before Janet left the building, she saw Jocelyn walking toward her with an evil smile on her
face.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Janet’s face turned cold.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Are you angry? I haven’t barred you from the entire industry yet." Jocelyn scoffed.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"The success or failure of a woman depends on whether she has found the right man or not.As you can
see, Jason is a handsome guy.But he is also the CEO of this company A lowly woman like you only
deserves a poor illegitimate child.You have to obey others all your life and aren’t destined to make any
achievements." Janet smiled and looked at Jocelyn.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She was amused to hear her childish remarks.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Bar me from the industry? We’ll see when that happens.By the way, is something wrong with your
previous boyfriend? Is that why you’ve shifted to a new guy?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Jocelyn looked at her beautiful painted fingernails and gently blew at them.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Well, his company isn’t doing well.I guess it will go bankrupt soon.That’s why I dumped him.You see,
only a perfect man deserves to be with me."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Uh-oh! I think your current boyfriend should be more careful.You’ve had a history of boyfriends.Your
first boyfriend’s family went bankrupt, and you dumped him.Your second boyfriend had a serious
ailment, and you dumped him.Your third boyfriend’s parents were arrested, and you dumped him.It
seems to me that you’re bad luck — anyone who dates you falls into deep shit."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Janet smiled before pushing Jocelyn away and walking out "You mean to say I’m a bane?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Jocelyn shouted, regardless of being in a public place.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yes."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Janet didn’t have the time to argue with her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Ignoring the woman’s screams, she walked out of the building, hailed a taxi, and left. In the evening,
the setting sun painted the sky red.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Janet was standing on the balcony with a mug of coffee in her hand.She hadn’t moved ever since she
returned home.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Ethan opened the glass door to the balcony and walked to her side.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"What’s up? Is everything all right?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He rested his hand on the railing and stared into the distance.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Janet turned to look at him, her face softening with appreciation as if he were a beautiful oil painting.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"It’s just some work stuff."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Seeing that she didn’t want to say anything more, Ethan shook his head and smiled.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Well, it looks like you still regard me as an outsider.You don’t want to share anything with me."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"No.I…"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After a moment’s hesitation, Janet finally told Ethan about how and why Jocelyn had rejected her
design draft.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Ethan listened to it carefully and looked into the distance.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;His brows knitted together as if he had decided what to do.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"She won’t be arrogant for long.Don’t worry."&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
