William's Words Hurt

Jane put away the things Pearl gave her and wondering. What did William know about Floyd and Daisy's engagement?

After hesitating, she sat in the car and dialed William's number.

It was hard to put through William's personal number. The families would contact Frederic first if they want to call William.

The phone rang and then was answered.

Jane clenched her fists and found herself very nervous.

On the other end of the phone, there was still silence and a faint breathing sound. It felt like the last call when she was kidnapped.

William just finished his emergency meeting and returned to his office. The phone rang and he pressed the answer button.

It was Jane.

"Jane?"

A few seconds passed, Jane did not say anything and William became nervous. The Duncans were in trouble recently, and everything was a mess. He was afraid that Jane would be kidnapped again.

William spoke first. This was different from what Jane expected. Jane was shocked and forgot to talk.
