100 Days to Seduce the Devil



Day Sixty-One…

~~*****~~

[ At Country M… ]

Jane and the others arrived at the airport. Kazuki picked them up as per Mr. Hiroshi's advice. It was a long journey so they decided to take a rest for today.

"Sis, shall we visit Grandpa?" Jane suggested to Abigail. The old man had been missing them.

Abigail just nodded her head in agreement. "Yes, Sis. I want to see Grandpa."

"But we have to keep your accident from him, including your memory loss," Jane reminded her. Old Master Yan was still undergoing treatment. Jane didn't want him to worry and be stressed. Jane already explained this situation to her sister.

"I understand, Sis," Abigail replied. She would follow her sister's advice.

"Can I introduce Dave to our family?" Abigail glanced at Dave who was putting their luggage in the car trunk.

"Not today, Sis. Let's focus on Grandpa first." Jane was still reluctant to reveal to Old Master Yan and their Aunt that Nathan was no longer Abigail's boyfriend.

"Okay." Abigail could only sigh in defeat. She was dying to tell everyone about Dave. She didn't want to keep their relationship from her family.

"We will go directly to Grandpa's house. Then Pa will join us over dinner. According to Uncle Kazuki, our father has a business meeting today. He is going to meet someone." Jane held her sister's hand before turning to Ethan.

"Do you want us to drop you home first? Your dad and grandpa might be waiting for you," Jane consulted Ethan.

"Okay, Miss Jane. I hope those two already reconciled." Ethan remembered that his father had been avoiding his grandpa. Nathan got upset with his father a few days ago when he found out that his father threatened Monica. 

"Don't worry about them. They are already adults. They can fix their problems on their own." Jane stroked Ethan's hair as she reassured him.

Stephen would be the one sending Cherry to her apartment. But before she got separated from Jane, she talked to her privately.

"Tomorrow, let's meet. I will send you the address," Jane whispered to Cherry. "We have a mission to do… Black Rose."

Cherry was stunned for a moment. She sensed the urgency in her voice. 'It looks like my sister has an unfinished mission. Is she going to attack the Syphiruz to avenge our fallen comrades?'

A glint flashed in her eyes when she thought about it.  She would love to do another mission together with Phantomflake. "Okay, Sis. I'll wait for your message tomorrow." She was so excited.

Cherry said goodbye to her. Jane could only watch her back. At first, she didn't have a plan to involve Cherry because she wanted her to have a fresh start. But she was running out of time. She needed her help. And Black Rose was one of the few people she could trust. She would bring Cherry to her secret hideout.

It did not take long before Jane and Abigail reached the Yan Family Mansion. Madam Priyanshi was already waiting for them at the front door. She immediately hugged and greeted her nieces.

"Abi… Jane… you are back!" Madam Priyanshi felt relieved. Old Master Yan had been bothering her, asking when he would see his granddaughters again. Fortunately, they arrived today. The old man's wish would be fulfilled.

Old Master Yan was sitting in the garden area. The table was set for their snacks and beverages. The old man looked so much better as compared to before. Jane was so happy to see the improvement in his health.

"My lovely granddaughters!" The old man extended his arms, motioning for them to hug him.

Jane and Abigail approached the old man and embraced him. "We missed you, Grandpa," Jane softly mumbled.

Abigail, on the other hand, was speechless. She was still overwhelmed by the fact she found her family. The three of them spent time in the garden, just talking about what they'd done for a week. They talked, laughed, and bonded as if there was no tomorrow. 

Jane's and Abigail's presence seemed to help Old Master Yan to recover fast. He became more cheerful. He followed his doctor's instructions and drank every medicine so that he could get better and live longer with his granddaughters.

Soon, Old Master Yan opened up the topic of inheritance.

"Jane, Abi… are you willing to inherit the company? Do you want to manage it? I will divide the shares equally for the two of you." Old Master Yan darted his gaze back and forth between Jane and Abigail.

The two ladies exchanged glances with one another. Abigail was the first one who spoke up. "Grandpa, I don't know if I can manage a large company like Yan Corp. I am just an actress. I think my sister should be the one to take on this task."I think you should take a look at

Complicated emotions flashed through Jane's eyes. She didn't wish to become rich and wealthy. At first, she stayed alive because she wanted revenge. Who would have thought she would find her family and fall in love with Nathan? Money and power didn't matter to her. She just wanted to have a fresh start.

'But… I'm not certain if I will accomplish my mission. Will I survive after 39 days?' Jane started counting the days in her mind.

Then she smiled at them. "Sis, you are smart. Don't doubt your ability. Show Business is chaotic sometimes. You can work at our Yan Corp and start learning. I know you will be able to manage this company. Don't you agree, Grandpa?"

Old Master Yan and Abigail looked at her, puzzled. "How about you? What do you plan to do?"

"Hmm. I want to travel and explore things. I don't want to stay in one place. I want to be free like a bird," Jane replied to them nonchalantly. She didn't think of her future yet because she was still struggling to survive. 

Old Master Yan let out a soft chuckle. "You want to travel a lot. You can work at Yan Corp and use your paycheck to travel a lot. I won't stop you. I will spoil you. Both of you."

Jane and Abigail also burst out into a peal of laughter. 

"Ahem. The two of you are my only successors. Can't you reconsider it, my dears?" Old Master Yan put on a pitiful look, using his charm to convince his granddaughters.

"Grandpa, don't worry about the company. The most important thing is we are now together," Jane said to appease the old man.

"That's right, Grandpa. And you have to recover first." Abigail leaned on her grandfather's shoulder.

"Okay. I'll do that… I will stay healthy. I will wait for my great-grandchildren. I can't die without seeing them."

They were still talking when suddenly Kazuki interrupted them. He looked so worried when he showed up in front of them. He was holding the phone in his hand. His face was pale as if he had seen a ghost.

"What's wrong Uncle?" Jane asked him.

"Lady Jane… something happened to your father," Kazuki informed them about the bad news.

Jane, Abigail, and Old Master Yan fell silent. They didn't utter a word. A hint of shock could be seen on their faces.

"I have to go now and check what happened."

After informing them, Kazuki dashed out of the mansion. Seconds later, a speeding car left the gate.

Jane turned at her grandpa and her sister. "Sis, look after Grandpa. I'll follow, Uncle Kazuki. Grandpa, may I borrow your car?" Jane tried to maintain her composure even though deep inside, she was worried sick about her father.

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Old Master Yan could only nod his head. "Our family chauffeur is in the garage."

But Jane didn't plan on bringing the chauffeur with her. She would drive the car by herself. She left the mansion in a hurry. Abigail and Old Master Yan were left in the garden, still trying to absorb what Mr. Kazuki had said to them.

What happened to their father? Did he get into an accident? Was he safe? Abigail would like to follow her sister but Old Master Yan stopped her from leaving.

Meanwhile, at SYP Twilight Corp, Nathan was having a meeting with his staff when Axel approached him. 

He leaned over and whispered something to him. "Sir, something happened to Mr. Hiroshi."

Nathan's eyes widened in shock when he heard that. He turned to Axel with a questioning gaze. "What happened? Where is he?"

Axel shook his head. He didn't know the full details yet. "There is an explosion. The building is still on fire. Mr. Kazuki is on his way to the area. He asked me for some backups."

Nathan immediately stood up, catching the attention of his staff. "Meeting adjourned." He mumbled before rushing out of the conference room. Axel followed him.

"Dispatch our men. Is Mr. Hiroshi still missing?" Nathan asked, a deep crease appearing on his forehead.

"I think so. They are still looking for him."
