After Being Cheating

Chapter 57 Who's the Owner of the Samoyed Outside in the Garden

Janet's name was just mentioned, and she felt very nervous for a while; she then stood up alongside

Brian. After nodding to the guests, she spoke in a tender voice, "Grandpa Han, thank you, and also

many thanks to all the honorable guests present here. A lot of you are accomplished elders, and please

forgive me if you find that my cake is not good enough."

"You, the Shao family's girl, are so modest. I've heard that your shop is always crowded and the

monthly business turnover is good, and that's because the owner works very hard and is serious with

each and every one of her cakes." Wesley Si, the general officer, first spoke. He now had to support

this girl, as she was the sworn daughter of his cousin.

After Charles Han and Wesley Si's praises went to Janet, the other guests present also followed their

examples and made their compliments: "The Shao family's girl has both her father's and mother's best

genes, and she boldly started her own bakery at such an early age. That is not an easy task to

accomplish, indeed!"

"Right, my granddaughter has bought desserts from her shop, and they tasted really good."

"Mr. Han made Janet Shao a special introduction. Does that mean that she could maybe get married

with Brian very soon?"

"Aren't they top gossip these days on the Internet? It said online that they are actually boyfriend and

girlfriend."

"The Shao family and Han family, if they are united under this marriage, their power will be very great."

...

With a decent smile on her face, Janet sat down beside Brian and finally relaxed.

There were so many elders here that she had to be extra careful and not to make any more trouble. If

she were to offend anyone of these elders, that would count as big bad joke coming on her behalf and

of her family's!

Daniel still kept calm and silent in the midst of all these discussions. Even when someone happened to

casually mention Janet's name to him, he still showed little or no care, as if that was the name of an

unknown person.

Then the guests began to take their forks in their hands and had a try of Janet's cake; so did Daniel. He

sliced the cake into three pieces and then put one of it into his mouth.

Kate began to feel a little uneasy, as she knew that Daniel didn't eat any sweets at all.

Even when they were engaged in social or business-like activities, he never touched the desserts in the

hotels.

But now...

When the dinner was almost at it's end, Janet gave Brian a notice and then she left her seat at the

table to go to the lady's room.

Bill, who was sitting right next to her, wouldn't miss the chance to be alone together with Janet, so he

also sat up and walked towards the men's room.

Janet washed her hands and came out, but then she saw that Bill was standing there, leaning his back

against the wall, waiting for her.

"Jane, " he spoke. Bill was so excited to see her again and jumped out of his shoes to come near her.

Janet threw a tissue in the dustbin, and said, "Why did you follow me for?"

"I saw you sitting up from the table, so I followed you out. You know, I am always ready to protect you

no matter what."

Bill rested his arms on Janet's shoulder and then they walked together back towards the dinning hall.

When they passed by a door, Janet took a look at the garden, and said, "I want to take a breath of This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

fresh air, outside. You go ahead first, I'll come later."

"I come with you, " replied Bill without hesitation, and with this he put his hands inside his pockets.

Janet didn't refuse him, but said, "Then you go back and bring the rose bouquet for me so that I can put

it in the car first."

'The flowers are beautiful, I have to take care of them, ' she thought.

"OK, you wait for me here, " said Bill. Then he went back to the dinning hall, grabbed the pink rose

bouquet, and again went out.

Brian was watching Bill's strange moves all the way, and then saw him joining with Janet at one of the

dinning hall's doors and then walking with her into the garden.

'What are they doing?' he pondered. Brian put down his cutlery, wiped his mouth, and then followed

them out in the garden.

Holding the rose bouquet happily in her hands, Janet walked in front of Bill, and asked, "Bill, when are

you going back to the military unit?"

"Can't you stop mentioning such sad topics? I have to go back there tomorrow." Bill couldn't help but to

stare at Janet, and he thought that it was a pity to leave her alone and wondered when he would ever

meet her again.

Wearing her six-inch-height crystal high-heels, Janet wrapped her white shawl on her shoulder and

patted on Bill's shoulder, "Remember to train well when you return there, and learn from your cousin,

Brian, how to be a great man for the country."

Bill sadly curled his lips, "Did you really fall in love with Brian? You should have asked me to take him

as an example!" he said. He admitted the fact that his cousin was, indeed, excellently well trained and

behaved, and except for the first and last time when he was punished and demoted, he had never

made a mistake in his entire military career.

"No, Brian is just like my brother. He is excellent, indeed, and that's why I ask of you to learn from him.

Do you have any more complaints regarding this?" As they strolled in the garden they kept chatting for

a while longer.

Bill seemed to think of something, and suddenly he stopped to stare at Janet with a serious and sober

look on his face, "Jane, tell me, who is the man you fell in love with? If he is really that excellent and

treats you very well, I will give up my endeavors with you."

Bill's question made Brian, who was almost catching up with them in the back, stop in his steps and

hold his breath. He was carefully listening and waiting to how Janet was going to answer this question.

As both of the two men were now focused on Janet's answer, they didn't notice that something was odd

with their surroundings.

Janet hesitated for a moment, and considered whether she really should tell Bill or not. But that man

didn't love her, and on a second thought, Janet gave up hiding her feelings towards him any longer,

and she said, "I..." When she was just opening her mouth a barking noise was heard, and then a huge

dog lunged at Janet.

"Ah!" Screaming hysterically, Janet was knocked down to the ground and stepped over by a dog.

The pain coming from her arms paralyzed Janet's movements and she stopped moving altogether for a

few moments.

"Jane!"

"Janet!"

The two men ran to Janet's help at the same time.

The Samoyed dog was licking Janet's cheek with its tongue. Janet nearly came to a breakdown point,

and she pushed away the dog with all her strength, but was quickly lunged down again by the huge

dog.

Brian and Bill together held the Samoyed dog under control, and when Janet finally could stand back

up on her feet, her face was all pale.

When they heard the noises, the security guards came to their aid, "Go and ask the dog's owner to

come here!" And before the two guards even had a chance to open their mouths, Brian had already

shouted the order to them.

The Samoyed still wanted to bite him, but its snout was gripped tight in Brian's hands.

For Brian, the Samoyed dog was a piece of cake; once, when he was in a mission, he had fought a

wolf with his own bare hands.

"Yes, Mr. Han." the guards answered.

"Wait, I'm coming with you." Bill glanced at Janet, who was now shivering with fear, and then furiously

strode inside the dinning hall with the security guards.

Pets horrified Janet because she had been bitten by a dog with rabies virus when she was only ten

years old.

If it were not for the doctors arriving in time, she would have been infected with the virus.

In the dinning hall, Bill, wearing a cold face, as well as the two guards who followed him behind,

attracted everyone's attention.

"Who's the owner of the Samoyed outside in the garden? Stand up, now!"

Bill's anger was obvious on his face, and Charles frowned, and slightly cautioned him, "Bill, mind your

words!"

"Grandpa, Jane has been attacked by the Samoyed dog, how can I mind my words?"

What Bill had just said made all of the people in the dinning hall burst into an uproar.

Kate's heart trembled, and she tightly held Daniel's hand. Then, she stood up from her seat, and

admitted, "It's my dog."

Daniel got free of her hand and seemed to be emanating a sort of icy-cold aura.
