Chapter 18

　　When Shane rushed to the coffee shop with swollen eyes, it was already past 3 o'clock in the afternoon, but fortunately Rose was still there. 　　The moment Rose saw Shane appear; her pale face suddenly became shiny. 　　"Shane, here..." 　　Rose in the seat waved to her. 　　Shane walked over and sat opposite to Rose. 　　"Shane, did you bring the money?", Rose started to mention the money and Shane's heart became extremely sad. 　　Shane put the 2 million checks in front of her eyes and said with a nasal voice, "This is the last time I can give you 2 million. I can no longer give you anything in the future." 　　Rose stretched out her slender white hand, picked up the check from the table and put it elegantly into her purse. She took another pack of cigarettes on the table, took one out of it, and lite it. 　　She had beautiful hands holding the cigarette, and Shane inherited this. 　　Rose is naturally beautiful. She is still young like a 30-year-old woman in her 40s. She has white and clean cheeks without any wrinkles and even her pores are almost invisible. 　　Shane was not as tall as her. Except for her small chin and lips, there was almost no resemblance. 　　Rose exhaled smoke and looked at Shane who was sitting across from her, and said, "It's only 2 million. You don't have to feel embarrassed. Why? Doesn't Lance give you this amount of money?" 　　Shane felt that her teeth were cold, and she staggered her gaze with Rose and said in a deep voice, "I broke up with him..." 　　"What?!" 　　Rose's face changed drastically, and she squeezed the cigarette out of the ashtray beside her, and asked, "He dumped you?" 　　Shane didn't nod or shake her head because she couldn't tell whether she was dumped by him, or if she gave up first... 　　"Anyway, I will never have the money to help you pay off your debts, so you can do it yourself." 　　After speaking, Shane got up and walked towards the door. She didn't want to look at Rose's face that was completely disappointed in her. 　　... 　　Out of the coffee shop, Shane walked towards the bright yellow sports car. 　　Jonas turned around in the car and looked at Shane who was opening the door. 　　"You are anxious to have money just to give the woman inside?!" , Jonas asked in a strange tone. 　　Shane, who was in the co-pilot, nodded and said, "Jonas, thank you, but I may not be able to pay you back the 2 million..." 　　Jonas withdrew his gaze from the woman in the coffee shop, and said with a somewhat ugly expression, "I'm not in a hurry to ask you to pay it back, but do what you promised me..." 　　Shane's face was awkward, so she nodded and said, "I will try my best to cooperate with you, but I can't guarantee that it won't be discovered by your uncle." 　　Jonas’ expression improved instantly, and he confidently said, "You don't need to worry about this. I have some ways to fool him..." 　　... 　　Back to Grace's residence, Shane didn't even eat dinner, so she lay on the bed. 　　Grace walked into the guest bedroom where Shane was temporarily staying. She sat on the bed, and tapped her arm with her finger. 　　Shane raised her head buried in the pillow, looked at Grace, and said, "Grace, what's the matter?" 　　Grace simply sat on the big bed, looked at Shane's red and swollen eyes, and asked, "Lance, what happened between you and Lance this time?" 　　Shane's head was aching and she didn't want to say more, so and replied casually, "Nothing..." 　　Grace looked at her tangledly as if she had something to say. 　　Shane noticed the expression on her face, and said in doubt, "What's wrong? You have always been straight. If you don't say anything then it is not you." 　　Grace gritted her teeth and said, "I saw Lance at the airport this afternoon." 　　"He's on a business trip?!", Shane couldn't wait to ask. 　　Shane, who finally leaked her thoughts, turned pale. If there is really no problem between them, how could she not even know about Lance's business trip. 　　Grace looked at her sympathetically, and said, "He is not on a business trip, but I saw him at the airport...with a woman..." 　　Shane's eyelashes trembled, and her face pretended to be calm and said, "Oh..." 　　After speaking, she lay back on the bed. 　　With a look of anger on her face, Grace pulled Shane up from the bed again, and said, "Shane, what's the matter with you?! Your fiancé already has a woman out there and yet you don't even ask? Don't you really care at all?" 　　Shane felt pain in her heart, how could she not care? But what can she do if she cares? 　　Grace continued, "During this period of time, Lance's negative scandals have been on the entertainment headlines again. Shane, if once or twice is a misunderstanding, how can there be a misunderstanding until now?" 　　Shane didn't look at the angry Grace, and said in a low voice, "Actually...I know all this." 　　It's okay for Shane not to say it, but saying that aroused Grace's anger even more. 　　Grace got up from the bed, looked at her exaggeratedly, and said, "Shane, are you crazy? How can you tolerate this kind of thing?"
