The crowd was still unwilling to give up, smiling and fawning over Jane.
“Enough already. Seeing your fake smiles and insincere words makes me sick. Don’t come near me again,” Jane said, driving the people away with her directness.
As she left, the people around her were left speechless.
As these words were spoken, everyone felt that they had been mocked by Jane, losing face.
“It’s fine to accept it. It’s not good to continue like this,” Isabella spoke up at this moment. Jane’s attitude was indeed not very good, and as Elis’s disciple, she should set a good example.
“Now that you are a disciple, you should set a good example. What’s the difference between you now and those people earlier?” Isabella’s words made Jane’s face turn dark.
“What difference? They clearly bullied me just now, and now they act all respectful. Isn’t it all because of my identity? If my Master hadn’t spoken, would they still treat me like this?”
Jane rejected them directly, which also made Isabella feel a little embarrassed.
“You should still pay attention. Times have changed.”
Unexpectedly, Jane contradicted her in front of so many people. Isabella was somewhat dissatisfied, but it wasn’t a big deal, so she had to let it go.
“I became a disciple, not a saint. Why should I be kinder to them? If they hadn’t been so superficial just now, I wouldn’t have acted this way.”
Jane rejected them once again, and Isabella didn’t continue speaking.
“It’s your own business. I was just reminding you out of goodwill. There’s no need to vent your anger on me.”
With a gloomy face, Isabella turned and left Jane’s side.
Jane didn’t back down either, keeping a stern expression, ignoring those people who wanted to talk to her.
This undoubtedly caused dissatisfaction among the people around. Even as Elis’s disciple, she shouldn’t treat others with such disdain.
“Isabella is indeed better. Regardless of status, she treats everyone equally. Being kind-hearted is what a disciple of Mr. Edwards should be.”
The people around began to praise Isabella again, but Jane paid no attention.
“Yes, she does have the strength. Compared to us, she’s much stronger.”
Listening to everyone praising Isabella even more, Jane appeared indifferent.
“It is indeed not right. We should pay more attention.”
Just then, Elis by her side also spoke up.
The Realm of Literature and Art values both strength and character, and Jane’s impatience was simply unacceptable.
“Now that they have realized their mistake and changed, you shouldn’t hold on to it. It’s not good for anyone.”
Unexpectedly, Elis personally advised her, and Jane nodded and reluctantly agreed.
After all, Elis was her master, and she had no reason to disobey her master’s words.
“Okay, I understand.”
Jane couldn’t go against it, so she had to agree.
After the gathering ended, Jane returned to the company.
“Jane, Jane, look at this.”
Just as Jane stepped into the company, her secretary approached, holding a document and handing it to Jane. “The company’s stocks have been rising continuously. It looks like they are about to surpass the all-time high.”
“Really?”
Jane couldn’t believe it, she took the document and carefully looked at it. Sure enough, the stock had been rising all along.
This was undoubtedly good news for Star Entertainment. After all, the company had faced some issues in the past few days and had not recovered, but now with the stock skyrocketing, the company could make a profit.
“What happened? Why did it suddenly rise so much?”
Jane was confused. Just as she returned to the company, something like this happened.
“Well, we have you to thank for that.”
The secretary smiled and said, then picked up the phone and showed Jane the trending topics on Twitter. “Look, Mr. Edwards has spread the news of accepting you as his closed-door disciple. Elis, what a remarkable person!”
Jane looked at the hot search topics, and there were many discussions about what Elis had said. The comments below were nonstop.
“I never expected Jane to become Elis’s disciple. She’s successful in both love and career. I really envy her.”
There were various comments of admiration, and Jane suddenly realized that it was because of this incident. Thinking back to what Elis had said to her, her determination grew stronger.
Just being Elis’s disciple brought so many benefits to the company. It seemed that she should pay more attention in the future.
Watching the company’s stocks continue to rise, Jane felt joyful.
She hummed a tune as she entered the office and dealt with some documents. Then she went to a restaurant to have a meal.
Jane found a corner to sit in, but soon noticed a pair of eyes staring at her.
She looked around and noticed Tristian sitting right behind her.
Jane frowned and turned her face away. She had never had a good impression of Tristian.
Unexpectedly, Tristian not only didn’t avoid her, but also approached her and pulled out the chair opposite Jane, sitting down on his own.
“What are you doing?”
Jane’s gaze turned icy, and her tone was impatient.
“Don’t be so fierce, Elis’s little disciple.”
Jane glared at him, surprised that Tristian had come to her because of this incident and had changed his attitude so quickly.
Seeing the admiration in Tristian’s eyes, Jane ignored him even more.
But Elis’s words were still vivid in her mind, and she had to be more careful.
“I just wanted to have a good talk with you. There’s no need for you to be so impatient, right?”
Tristian propped up his chin, crossed his legs, and looked rebellious.
“What’s the matter?”
Jane said lightly, without even looking at Tristian.
“You’re different now. I never expected you to have such skills and become Elis’s closed-door disciple.”
As Tristian spoke, he rubbed his chin and looked Jane up and down.
This made Jane feel uncomfortable all over, and she lowered her gaze. “Mr. Duncan, if you have something to say, there’s no need to be so familiar with me here.”
Faced with Jane’s straightforwardness, Tristian burst into laughter.
“It’s really interesting. No wonder Elis took a liking to you.”
The next moment, Tristian’s expression turned serious again, and he took out a bouquet of flowers from behind, “Ms. North, please forgive me for this sudden bouquet. Because I’ve realized that I seem to have fallen for you.”
Jane looked at Tristian’s emotionless eyes and instantly saw through his insincerity.
She waved her hand dismissively. “No need, how could I let you favor me like this?”
“How could that be?” Tristian forcefully placed the bouquet in Jane’s hand, looking solemn, “Let me take you home later.”
Jane looked at this insincere man in front of her, and her heart churned.
“I’ll go back on my own. You don’t have to bother.”
She glared at Tristian and tried to turn and leave, but Tristian grabbed her hand, “I genuinely want to pursue you. Give me a chance.”
