The hall fell into darkness.
Jane missed her step when she walked off the stage.
Someone held her arm in the darkness.
"William! Thank you."
She knew it was William. She had claustrophobia. The darkness reminded her of the despair when she woke up and found that she was left in an abandoned factory by the kidnappers.
Jane clenched her fists and tried to be calm.
"How did you know it was me?"
William asked after a second of silence.
He heard the noise before the light went out. Maybe something was wrong with the cable. He knew Jane was going down the stairs before the light went out.
"Because you're my husband!"
Jane hugged William tightly and didn't let go through William pushed her.
She was really scared.
The mint-scented perfume William wore was rare. It was not the cologne that most men liked, but it was also refreshing.
"Let go of me."
William was no more calm being hugged so tightly. Blue veins stood out on his temples. He thought that he should not help her.
William was angrier at himself. He knew that she would be like this, but he still helped her.
"No!"
Jane clasped him. They were still legal couples. Why couldn't she hug him?
William was outstanding. It was normal that so many women liked him.
William belonged to her now.
"Let go of me!"
"No!"
The villa was in chaos while they were quarreling for nothing.
The guests handed their phones over to the organizers in advance. They did not have any lighting tools on hand.
The West Villa was in isolated areas. The cables might have been cut off and all the lights were off. The villa was in complete darkness.
"What should we do? Let's go find emergency lighting!"
"Go to the second floor and get our phones. Let's go back!"
The fundraising was over, and the dinner was the last activity. The event was coming to an end.
"Someone pushed me!"
The scream stirred up a commotion again, followed by the sound of chairs falling to the ground.
They couldn't see each other, pushing and shoving. Some people were injured.
Jane hugged William tightly. He gave her a sense of security. This was why she insisted on not getting divorced.
"The cut on the cable is neat. It seems to be..."
Artificial damage!
The staff found the flashlight and checked the cable. They were dumbfounded when they saw the neat cut.
His words implied something sinister.
Something flashed through Jane's mind.
She thought of the plot. William went to a jewelry charity dinner and was stabbed by someone. His injuries were not life-threatening, but severe.
At that time female lead couldn't give birth and was about to die. The news that William was injured severely diffused. There were many reporters present. There was no way to intercept the news.
The stock of the Duncan Group was limited down because of the negative news. The Duncan Group suffered a heavy blow.
"William, be careful!"
Jane leaned her head against William's chest and heard his heartbeat in the darkness.
She reminded him according to the plot of the book. Suddenly, a sharp light flashed.
She just thought she wouldn't be hurt but didn't expect that she was stabbed so quickly.
She was about to dodge just now, but someone pushed her.
She confessed her love to William with actions.
"Shut up!"
William was furious. Jane was injured severely. Jane stood in front of him without hesitation when she saw the dagger.
The danger would provoke people's true feelings. Did Jane fall in love with him?
William was sullen, and his eyes were cold.
"William, catch the murderer!"
Jane's tears rolled in her eyes. She said weakly and felt dizzy.
No, I couldn't pass out. This was a great opportunity to say something.
"William, it's good that you're safe."
Then Jane passed out.
The reporters caught on to it and kept taking photos of the couple. Although this was immoral, it was big news!
"Frederic, get the best doctor!"
William said word by word, and Frederic's hand holding the phone trembled.
Frederic knew William well after following him for many years. William was very strict, but he rarely lost his temper. And he would not roar hysterically when he was angry. He looked calm but he was suppressing himself.
"Why are you still there? Hurry up!"
William took off his suit jacket and covered Jane.
She was unconscious whose lips were pale. Her eyelashes were stained with tears, sparkling and translucent.
William was sure that Jane wasn't shamming.
He closed his eyes and opened, drowned in thoughts.
