Chapter 206
Jane did bite him, but Jane's condition wasn't much better either.
Her lips were red and swollen from his kisses, even aching faintly.
So when she arrived at the hospital, Grandma spotted her unusual appearance right away and was startled: "Girl, your..."
"I'm fine, Grandma."
Jane quickly cut off the old lady's words to prevent more people from noticing her condition.
The old lady had been through it all herself, and considering that Grandpa and Larry were still present, she didn't say anything more.
Jane directly ignored Larry sitting in the living room and walked to Grandpa's bedside. While checking his condition, she asked: "How are you feeling today, Grandpa? Is there anywhere that still feels uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine. My dear granddaughter comes to see me every day - how could I feel uncomfortable?" the old man said with a cheerful smile.
"By the way, girl, you just went back this morning. Why are you here again?" the old lady asked with concern. "Did you get some rest after going back? Isn't work busy?"
"It's okay, Grandma. I took the day off today. Work isn't busy."
Jane reassured the old lady with a sentence.
But unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, a sharp, mocking voice came from outside the door: "Of course not. She's just a small project manager - how busy could she be? Obviously, it's not as important as coming to show filial piety in front of Grandpa to trick him out of his shares."
As the voice fell, a couple from Watson & Associates and a couple from The Stone Group had already walked into the hospital room.
And the speaker was Mrs. Stone.
Jane had experienced their sarcasm and meanness too many times and didn't react much at this moment.
But while she could tolerate it, Grandpa and Grandma couldn't. Their faces immediately darkened. "What are you doing here?"
"Dad, Mom, you two are in the hospital with no one to take care of you. How could we feel at ease not coming?" Emma said.
But Grandma understood their nature too well and didn't believe they had such good intentions at all. "I think what you're worried about isn't us, but the shares we hold!"
The Watson & Associates couple immediately fell silent.
Instead, Mrs. Stone couldn't stand it and walked up to Grandma, saying: "I really don't understand why you two believe Jane's act and gave her the shares. She's an ungrateful wretch. Giving her shares is like throwing meat buns at a dog - they're never coming back. If you ask me, you'd be better off giving them to Diana. At least Diana usually treats you like her own elders and shows filial piety. Isn't that much better than Jane?"
"Sister-in-law, you really shouldn't say that. She doesn't care about these shares at all. She donated a billion dollars to the hospital just like that. She's loaded," Emma said sarcastically.
Especially thinking about yesterday, when she donated a billion dollars to the hospital just like that.
Emma had been the wife of Watson & Associates' chairman for half her life and had never seen that much money combined.
She simply didn't believe Jane had that much money, but when she left yesterday, she asked around at the hospital. Everyone at the hospital knew about Jane's donation and treated her like a savior.
Thinking about how those people praised Jane made her angry.
Mrs. Stone became even angrier and said without thinking: "A small project manager - where would she get that much money? She must have done something shady, right?"
As she spoke, her contemptuous gaze kept glancing at Jane, with eyes full of jealousy and disgust: "I've heard that nowadays there's a type of streetwalker who doesn't care what kind of man he is - as long as he has money, she'll go with him. Just lie on the bed, spread her legs, and the money flows right into the woman's pocket.
Looking at Jane's figure and face, she must be popular with many men. She probably does that kind of thing all the time, right? Don't forget, Diana had her leg broken before because Jane seduced Brian Wilson.
Now forget Brian - even John has become her plaything. You can see our Jane has quite the skills. How could she not have money?"
The sarcastic tone made the Watson couple both startled, and they looked at each other.
Before, they didn't believe Jane could possibly have that much money - it was probably money John gave her.
So they hadn't thought in that direction at all.
Now that Mrs. Stone put it that way, it seemed to make sense.
Grandpa Watson was already furious with her. He opened his mouth to speak, but the words stuck in his throat. Because he was too angry, he started coughing violently.
Jane quickly supported him, helping him catch his breath while soothing him: "Grandpa, don't get angry. Don't let people like this upset you and harm your health. It's not worth it."
Grandma stood up directly and walked toward Mrs. Stone: "What are you doing here again? Get out, get out of here!"
Mrs. Stone was immediately intimidated by Grandma's presence.
After all, when Grandma was young, she had built the business from scratch with Grandpa, decisive and efficient. Even though she was older now, she still had that strong woman's aura.
Under this forceful pressure, Mrs. Stone couldn't help but take two steps back.
However, she quickly recovered. Emma and Patrick were standing nearby - what could an old lady who could barely stand do to her?
She immediately straightened up again and said righteously: "Old lady, I'm doing this for your own good. Think about it - Jane is a young woman. If she's not being kept by someone, where would she get that much money? A billion dollars - I haven't seen that much money in most of my life, and she just donated it like that.
If you ask me, she must have done something shady. Besides being kept, who knows what else - human trafficking and other crimes maybe. You need to open your eyes and not be..."
Smack!
Before she could finish, Grandma grabbed her cane and swung it at her head.
"Shut up! How my granddaughter is, is none of your business to gossip about and spout nonsense!"
"Old lady, I'm doing this for your own good. Why are you getting angry?" Mrs. Stone quickly dodged to the side.
Seeing Grandma charging at her with the cane again, she quickly hid behind her husband, but still kept cursing: "Actually, you know in your heart that Jane's money isn't clean. Otherwise, why would you be so angry?"
