In fact, Jane was more than happy to help the princess; she also liked her very much.
“You’re still working? Aren’t you going home?” Patrick looked at her, busy with her work, showing no sign of stopping.
If he had known this was going to happen, he wouldn’t have agreed to let her start her own company. Patrick looked worriedly at her belly.
Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Jane quickly finished her work and packed up, then hurriedly followed him home.
Finally, a smile appeared on Patrick’s face.
After returning home, Jane saw the email in her mailbox. It was indeed from the princess. Looking at the familiar invitation letters, Jane couldn’t contain her joy.
She immersed herself in happiness all day long. The last time she collaborated with the princess was a long time ago, and she hadn’t seen her for a while.
“You said the princess is in our city?” Jane suddenly remembered what Patrick had said.
“She’s been staying at a hotel these days. She’ll probably leave the day after tomorrow.” In fact, Patrick had already inquired about everything.
“Can you…” Jane hesitated, looking at him.
“Do you want to go see her?”
Patrick saw through her thoughts with a single glance.
Jane nodded heavily. “If I want to design a dress for her, I need to know her preferences. People change over time, and her desired style might have changed as well.”
She didn’t consider any other issues. From a professional perspective, she was an outstanding designer.
Patrick didn’t refuse and agreed directly. He took her to the hotel where the princess was staying.
The entire hotel had been booked, surrounded by layers of security guards. It was impossible for ordinary people to get close.
But Patrick had privileges, so entering was naturally smooth.
The two of them soon met the princess.
Jane was excited to see her, and the princess couldn’t stop talking while holding her hand.
“I’m very happy to see you, Jane. This time, I specifically asked you to design a dress for me.” Among all the people she had chosen, the princess only liked Jane’s designs.
Jane smiled shyly, “It’s my honor to receive your appreciation.”
Afterward, Jane comprehensively understood the princess’s recent preferences and diligently took notes.
With these judgments, she believed she would be able to complete the piece excellently.
…
After Kim and his parents left, the Ragsdill family’s parents couldn’t swallow their anger. They couldn’t accept the fact that Jane took charge of everything, good or bad.
They no longer believed in Jane’s invincible power. Since they couldn’t beat her head-on, they decided to use underhanded tactics. This time, they were determined to drive Jane away.
Using hacking techniques, the Ragsdill family’s parents tried to attack Jane’s computer. They found a specialist in this field, paid him a large sum of money, and arranged for him to stay at their home until the task was completed.
“Any results?” The Ragsdill family’s people kept this person locked in a room until all the results were obtained before finally letting him go.
Jane’s computer was not so easy to crack, and based on his recent thoughts, it seemed that her computer had been attacked by someone else a long time ago, and anyone who had attempted to attack it had failed.
Gilbert Hyde was also a skilled hacker, and in his eyes, ordinary programs were nothing and couldn’t prove anything.
But Jane’s computer made him feel a sense of crisis for the first time.
He felt that it wasn’t an ordinary computer; instead, it seemed deliberately encrypted.
He tried countless methods but couldn’t break through the first step.
“Why is it like this? Did you go in the wrong direction?” The Ragsdill family’s parents also found it suspicious. Jane seemed like just a weak woman, how could she have such great power? There must be Patrick supporting her from behind.
Gilbert shook his head. “It’s not that I’m not helping you. This computer is completely different from the ones I mentioned before. It belongs to a skilled hacker whose skill level is likely higher than mine.”
After all, their line of work was not honorable; they operated everything from the shadows.
However, the Ragsdill family’s parents didn’t believe it. They refused to accept it. Couldn’t they find any dirt on Jane?
Since hacking the computer had failed, they had to come up with a new plan.
So, the Ragsdill family’s parents found Ling, a private detective who knew many secrets. As long as they paid enough money, there might be results.
“Are you sure this plan will work?” The Ragsdill family’s father was hesitant, afraid of risking another double defeat. They would lose everything if that happened.
“Just trust me this time. I’ve already inquired, and this Ling knows all of Jane’s secrets. I heard that he’s been raising money recently, so maybe if we help him solve his problem, he can help us in return.” Diana was confident, as if she had calculated every step clearly.
And so, they received Ling in their own home.
Ling was fully armed, and apart from his deep gaze, nothing else could be seen.
Seamus hesitated, but Diana warmly welcomed him inside.
They didn’t beat around the bush and handed him an envelope filled with money and a check.
“Inside here is what you need.”
Ling glanced at the envelope and already had a plan in mind. “You want to take away one of my secrets.”
Diana perked up when she heard the opening. “We want to know Jane’s background, who she really is, what she used to do, and what her relationship with Patrick is!”
Ling snorted, “What you’re asking can probably be found online. Why go through all this trouble to find me?”
“What can be found online is just surface information, but what you know is her true nature.”
This time, Diana was determined to dig up Jane’s secrets.
Unfortunately, Ling had a good relationship with Jane and wouldn’t sell out his friend for money.
“What I know is no different from what you can find online. Jane has always been honest and straightforward. If you don’t believe me, you can go find another detective and ask.”
He believed that no matter which detective they went to, their words would be no different from his.
Diana faced her first setback. Unexpectedly, Ling didn’t show them any respect at all. He took the envelope and the check and walked upstairs without saying a word.
