“You helped me keep my cool and do the right thing when I wi rage and loathing.

so repulsed by the Fowler family that I felt every cell in my body was filled with

“You always support me no matter what I do. You took me into your house, where i could feel wanted

side and fight without hesitation. “It’s the same for me *

Jane reached out and patted Lila Sutton’s head.

Her eyes were filled with gentleness.

She would never forget

The day that she decided to cut ties with the Fowler family.

She left the pit of despair and its horde of demons behind.

It was the companionship of Andy and Lila that allowed Jane to get through the excruciating phase of her

rebirth. Now, Jane had more people in her life to care for and value.

Her life was about to turn into a bed of flowers, and things were only going to get better with each

passing day.

She would no longer have to turn into her once savage and destructive self for the sake of the Fowler

family.

“Alright, Janie, let’s not talk about this. It’s so mushy We’re best friends, aren’twe?

“Don’t forget that we’re going to be best friends forever! Cherish this true bond of ours while you can.

a part of the family

“The thing is, I’m worried that you’ll grow to despise me. You’re too brilliant, too strong, and moreover,

you’re the world champion, Janie. I’m nothing compared to you…”

While she talked, Lila’s feelings of inferiority grew.

Despite the fact that Lila Sutton had a respectable IQ and qualifications

Yet in light of Jane’s brilliance, any comparison seemed trivial. In the blink of an eye, Lila might well be

taken out of the game.

Sometimes, Lila felt that being best friends with someone like Jane was far out of her league

Lila did her best over the years to catch up to Jane’s pace. However, the gap between them would

become wider as time went on Ah! This was so frustrating!

Jane responded. “****, I could never despise you, and you will never be able to get rid of a best friend

like me even if you try

“However… it’s a little off-putting. It’s a bummer that you aren’t a boy. If you’re a boy, we can start dating

right away. We can be sure no one takes advantage of you.”

“Boohoo! Stop talking! I don’t want to hear it! It’s pure damage here, okay?”

Lila was in tears

The fact that she was born a girl rather than a boy was the one thing she blamed her parents for

She could have become Jane’s lover instead of watching other guys woo her closest friend.

Not even Hugh Croft was allowed to do so!

After some lighthearted banter between them, the mood in the room had become noticeably cheery.

Jane then pretended to ask casually, “Lila, when did you become so acquainted with Connor?”

“Well, it does seem that we have become used to one another’s company over time. In any case, it’s

because of you that I’ve met Connor quite a few times

“He’s not a bad guy, I can tell, and he’s been quite easy on me. This explains my recent reckless

behavior, haha!

“Janie, do you think I’m being too reckless and obstinate with Connor?”

Lila rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment.

“How do you feyf about him?” asked Jane.

“What do I feel? He’s okay”

Lila looked at Jane in confusion. “Janie, why are you asking this all of a sudden?”

“Nothing. I was just asking ”

It seemed that it was far too soon for Jane to fret

It would certainly take too long for Connor and Lila to really feel anything for each other

If they were indeed destined to be together, anything was possible.

It was the case for Jane and Hugh

Who would have thought that the two of them would end up together?

However, Jane, as Lila’s best friend, was obligated to look out for Lila’s lifelong happiness.

This girl could be naive at times. She was unable to think clearly since her mind was in a straight line.

She worried that Connor was just a playboy and that his feelings for Lila would fizzle out quickly. Once he

had his fun with Lila, he’d toss her

aside like a rag doll, breaking Lila’s heart in the process.

If this were the case, Jane would never let Connor off the hook!

Knock! Knock!

“Are you all ready? I’d love to show you around this resort and everything it has to offer.”

It was Connor’s voice.

“Alright, Janie, let’s go.”

“Alright, Jane murmured in response.

Due to the fact that it was January, the trail that led up the mountain had become quite slippery.

So naturally everyone opted for the cable car.

Lila took in the sights from the cable car’s vantage point. She was so excited that her ***was shaped like

an “O.”

“Despite all the places I’ve visited, I’ve never seen anything as breathtaking as this. It’s like I’m taking a

walk through a gallery of nature’s finest works of art.”

Jane asked calmly. “The Luther Group pruned this place?”

“Yes. Coincidentally, my father knows a Feng Shui master. He travelled around in his youth. He began

his study of art while he was in his middle years due to the fact that he was wealthy. As a result, my

father requested that he inspect this valley.

“The Luther Group put forth an offer of more than 150 million dollars to bid for this valley. And it wasn’t for

nothing, either. The rich of today adhere to Buddhist and Feng Shui beliefs. This valley’s natural splendor

and location near Stormton City’s best attractions has given the area great potential as a premier

vacation spot.”

“It’s not bad,” Jane said at the sound of Connor’s explanation.

The cable car had finally reached the top of the hill.

Jane and the others got off the cable car. As Connor led the way, they continued walking for some time.

“Wow! Janie, look!”

It seemed as if Lila had seen something. She made a loud exclamation as if she had made a significant

discovery.

As Jane peered up, she noticed that the waterfall had frozen about halfway up the mountain, like the

head of a dangerous beast poised to leap forth.

Looking down, the fog was thick and ***. It seemed to have no end in sight.

It had the grace of the old poetry that described how the Milky Way fell from the Nine Heavens.

As she stood on a hilltop and took in the spectacular views of the surrounding valleys, there was a sense

of renewal and revitalization washed over her, and a surge of energy filled her veins.

After that, Connor brought Lila and Jane to more places to visit.

Soon, the sun set.

Lila was having a lot of fun.

“Connor, I’ll take it th

kept your word this time. This resort is remarkable! It’s clear why this place made the top picks for tourist

attractions in the Stormton City. The amount of people that have scheduled visits to play here is

staggering!”

“It’s fine as long as you like it,” Connor chuckled.

Connor was wearing a puffy down coat and a knitted beanie. He presented an air of casualness in both

his attire and demeanor.

He returned to the resort with Lila, chatting and laughing.

“Hey, where’s Janie?”

Lila realized that Jane was not with her. She quickly fished out her phone and sent Jane a message.

“Janie, where are you?”
