Jane nodded her head vigorously. "Alright."
As she was helping the frail old lady out the door of the restaurant, someone came in.
"Jane, are you going to run away?" Cindy blocked Jane’s path.
Jane looked at Cindy with a cold and stern gaze. " Miller! Those were a series of traps set up by you, weren't they?"
Cindy shrugged. "What are you talking about? I don't understand it!"
Jane said, "You knew that it was us who rented your place, but you waited for us to complete our renovation, then only you came to pick a fight with us. Noah was even detained behind bars for a day because of this matter.You did not manage to take any advantage of us that day, so you got so many of your friends to create trouble at our place the next day. Where the hell did you take Noah to?"
Cindy sneered. "Jane Sheen! Don't run away from the trouble! Although you’re the one running the restaurant, I am the landlady of this place! I came looking for you today because I'm afraid you would run away. If you had run away, then who should fork out the money for those patients at the hospital? Don't even try to cheat! Otherwise, you still have to be
imprisoned even if you're pregnant!"
Jane gritted her teeth. "Cindy Miller, you and I have no grudges against each other, so why must you target m e like this?"
Cindy shrugged again and asked in return. "Do we have no grudges against each other? I find it baffling for you to say this."
There was a pause before she said innocently again," Your restaurant caused so many people to be hospitalized due to food poisoning! Your so-called fiance ran off without leaving a trace behind! If you and this old woman were to run away as well, are you going to let me, the landlady, bear the consequences?"
"What do you want?" asked Jane.
"Of course, I want you to pay for the damages!"
