Chapter 423: Chapter 216 What is Our Relationship Now?_3

She is different from Faye Townsend.

Faye Townsend has always been the first choice for a daughter-in-law that her father wanted him to marry, coming from a family of equal social standing.

But both he and Faye Townsend are aware that their affection could be even closer than real siblings, but when it comes to being a couple, they lack the right chemistry.

Because of different electrical currents and magnetic fields, they do not attract each other.

But since their circumstances are comparable and they grew up in similar environments, they understand each other very well.

He would go through fire and water for her, and he believes that Faye Townsend would do many things for him as well.

But Jane Quinlan is different; her upbringing was different from his.

He always thought that as long as friends get along well, it’s enough.

But in reality, while he is indeed happy, Jane Quinlan is not.

He raised his eyebrows and started the car to leave.

The car passed by the bus station where Jane Quinlan was waiting, without making any stop.

Jane Quinlan watched him drive away, and let out a soft sigh.

The road was congested, and she arrived at the company just in time.

Daisy Zenith had already cleaned her desk for her.

She leaned close to Jane Quinlan and asked, "Missed the last bus again? Director Forrest is already here."

Jane Quinlan shrugged and smiled, not wanting to lie to Daisy, but also afraid to tell her some things.

She sat down after dropping her bag, opened today’s work journal and after hesitating for a moment, she stood up to go to Kay Forrest’s office to report today’s schedule.

As she passed by Eden Howard’s desk, Eden Howard’s foot stretched out.

Jane Quinlan was preoccupied, not paying attention to the ground, and was tripped over immediately.

She fell forward, hitting her nose directly on the corner of a neighboring desk.

Blood instantly gushed from her nose.

Eden Howard quickly stood up to help her, panic-stricken, "Oh my, Jane, are you alright? I didn’t see you coming from behind."

Jane Quinlan covered her nose, tears mixed with blood due to the acidity.

She wiped her hand and realized her nose was bleeding.

Daisy Zenith saw the situation and ran over, holding Jane while yelling at Eden Howard, "What’s wrong with you? Can’t you keep your legs under control with such a big desk?"

Eden Howard, seeing that others were interfering, also got upset, "I don’t have eyes in the back of my head, how could I have seen her coming? How is this not her own fault?"

"What kind of tone is that, can’t you apologize?" Daisy Zenith said, already a bit furious.

Jane Quinlan held back Daisy Zenith, "Let it be, Daisy."

"What do you mean, let it be? You are always bullied because you’re too nice.

She tripped you, and I’m just asking her to apologize, that’s not too much.

Look at her, what is her attitude?"

Xavier stepped in front of Eden Howard, "Daisy Zenith, haven’t you done enough?

Jane Quinlan said let it be, who do you think you are, still picking fights here?"

"Oh, you think you’re so impressive as her boyfriend?

Let’s see, everyone in the office is here, let’s have them judge.

What did Jane Quinlan ever do to you guys for you to bully her like this?

Now, the person who got hurt is Jane Quinlan, and it’s her nose that is bleeding.

Do you think backing her up is helpful?"

On the other side, the finance manager Strong Howard slammed the table: "So what do you want to do?

Eden Howard already said it was not intentional, should she still have to kneel down and admit her guilt?"

With Strong Howard speaking out, Daisy Zenith was somewhat discouraged.

Seeing Strong Howard glare at Daisy Zenith, Jane Quinlan felt that if she didn’t speak up now, Daisy would be the one to suffer the consequences.

She covered her still bleeding nose and looked at Strong Howard: "Manager Howard, we all know Eden is your sister, so there’s no need for such a big commotion.

I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but if you truly want to be a good leader, please do not show favoritism.

After all, you don’t own the newspaper."

Strong Howard stood up: "Jane Quinlan, what do you mean by that, implying I’m biased? What did I say wrong?"

Just then, the door to Kay Forrest’s office opened, and Kay Forrest came out.

Seeing Jane Quinlan’s bloody face, his brow furrowed tightly.

Jane Quinlan hung her head and slightly turned her face away, not wanting him to see her distressed state.

Kay Forrest did not ask about the situation, but simply came to her side and looked down the spacious corridor.

Then, he looked back toward Eden Howard’s legs and then looked up at Jane Quinlan: "Eden’s legs aren’t long, how did you still trip over them?"

Strong Howard, embracing him at Kay Forrest’s side with a sycophantic demeanor said: "Director Forrest, I will handle this matter properly.
