Chapter 82 Madam Has Changed
William didn't want to have dinner. Whatever he wanted.
Jane thought that if something unexpected happened to her grandfather, her marriage with William would be dissolved.
The divorce paper had been ready for her to sign.
William was stunned when Jane left. She was as straightforward as ever.
"Jane, grandfather is unconscious. So you do want to pretend any longer?"
William stood up and said with scorn, "Isn't it hard to pretend for so long?" Jane stopped and looked back at William.
"Why? Am I right?"
William lit a cigarette and leaned against the sofa. He unbuttoned his messy shirt.
They stared at each other as if they had never been harmonious in the amusement park.
Jane nodded and went away.
She was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk. She wasn't resigned and couldn't stand being wronged. So, she was afraid that she was so angry as to quarrel with William. Jane didn't want to quarrel when she was angry. So she kept silent. She needed to calm down.
As soon as she left, Lainey came out. She could only sigh when she saw everything.
"Mr. Duncan, you shouldn't do this to Madam."
As a servant, it was not appropriate to talk like this. But Lainey had been in the Duncan Group for a long time and had taken the Duncans as her family members. "Lainey, don't you like her?"
It went without saying whom they were talking about.
William believed that he was so easy-going recently that Jane was insatiably insolent to him.
"I didn't like her previously."
Lainey did not evade this question. She admitted that she was unkind and perfunctory to Jane.
Mr. Duncan was outstanding. Jane was not worthy of him. She was selfish and mean.
"But that was before. Madam had changed after she was kidnapped."
Perhaps she was clear about what she wanted to possess and want to do after having a near-death experience.
Master Duncan was so kind to Jane. In the past, she took it for granted. Currently, she became more concerned about Master Duncan's life.
"Master Duncan secretly ate dessert. Madame discovered that. She confiscated his dessert and made some xylitol dessert for him."
When William was not home, Lainey and Jane spent more time together. Lainey saw what Madam had done.
Jane imperceptibly changed the way people thought of her through every tiny thing. And she really had done everything well.
"Did Jane cook?"
William was in deep thought. He had eaten her home-style dishes, which were delicious. She was not a fresh hand.
In the Duncan Group, there were more than a dozen servants. It wasn't Jane's duty to do the housework.
"Madam was not proficient. She downloaded some videos from the Internet and secretly learned it."
Food, ingredients, cooking, Jane even took notes of each step. A few days ago, she failed to set the temperature of the oven and her hand was burned.
"Mr. Duncan, I don't mean to speak for Madam. But we all have seen her changes."
William thought it was inconceivable. He showed his thoughts on his face.
Lainey rubbed her forehead. It was difficult to change a preconceived idea.
But it was an undeniable fact that Madam had changed.
"Who had changed most in the family is not Madam, but young master."
Lainey smiled when she talked about Dayton.
More than a month ago, Dayton was not talkative. However, he laughed a lot at home currently.
When Dayton came home from kindergarten, he would stick to his Mommy.
"There were vegetables for dinner every day. The young master refused to eat. Madam cooked them herself."
She coaxed Dayton and also coaxed Master Duncan. Normally, after Dayton went to kindergarten, Jane accompanied Master Duncan to walk, learned cooking, pruned plants, practiced yoga, and even took time to make design drawings. She hadn't left anything behind.
"Are you talking about Jane?"
William took a few moments to digest the information. There was no change in Jane's look and voice. Otherwise, he would suspect that she has been substituted.
"Mr. Duncan, Madam cooked the noodles herself. Take a rest after having them."
The crisis lasted for 72 hours. Even if Master Duncan woke up, he might be unconscious.
Lainey didn't know much about business. If the media found out the chaos happened at home, they would report it wantonly. The stock price of the Duncan Group might fall. "All of this has to be handled by you."
Lainey had finished what she wants to say. Whether Mr. Duncan agreed with her, it was out of her control.
Lainey left. William was alone in the hall. He looked down with confusion.
At the moment, he was not a domineering and decisive president with millions of employees. He was just an ordinary person who was worried about the serious illness of an old man. William sat on the sofa all night.
His phone alarm rang at six o'clock in the morning.
"Mr. Duncan, you haven't slept all night?"
Lainey cooked breakfast. She saw cigarette butts scattered all over the coffee table and carpet.
William stood up with his eyes bloodshot. Master Duncan kept to be unconscious and was getting worse. Doctor Wilson had come early in the morning and told him to be prepared for the bad news. The noodles cooked by Jane were cold. Lainey sighed and put away the bowl and chopsticks.
Master Duncan was unconscious. No one in the family could live well. He shouldn't ignore taking care of himself for this.
However, William was not persuadable. What she said was useless.
"Lainey, I have to trouble you to take care of the home."
Frederic called at five in the morning. The shareholders' meeting of the Duncan Group in the New Year would be held on the day. As the president of the Duncan Group, William had to attend. Frederic had discussed with the shareholders to postpone the meeting. Most of the shareholders who came to City J were overseas. They had another schedule after the meeting.
It was inappropriate to reschedule the meeting. The rule of the Duncan Group for many years should not be broken.
William nodded and looked at his pleated shirt. He went upstairs. But he found that his room was locked and he was not with the key.
"Lainey, bring me the key to my room."
William wanted to refresh himself with coffee. But Lainey changed it to hot milk. People with stomach trouble shouldn't drink coffee without eating anything.
"Mr. Duncan, I don't have the key."
Lainey hesitated and revealed the arrangement of Master Duncan. To made Mr. and Mrs. Duncan go into the black room, almost all the rooms in the house were locked. And the keys were hidden by Master Duncan.
William rubbed his eyebrows and asked after taking a deep breath, "Where are my clothes?"
"In the black room. It is a storeroom with no bathroom. So I hung your clothes in the wardrobe in Madam's room."
Lainey was worthy of being Master Duncan's assistant and had unknowingly got the job done.
"In her room."
In other words, if he wanted to change his clothes and go out, he had to go to Jane's room.
William had to attend the shareholders' meeting. He didn't hesitate to go straight to Jane's room.
He knocked on the door.
William waited for a moment before knocking on the door again.
