I Loved You and That’s It

Tom Howard had spoiled Jane Lawson for more than 20 years.

She had thought that they would naturally end up together, get married, have children, and live a happy life.

Until one day, Tom brought a girl back and told her. "Jane, she's your sister-in-law."

"Tom, my photography work won an international gold award."

Jane Lawson burst excitedly into Tom Howard's room. Overwhelmed with joy, she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms, just like she had countless times when she was little.

But in the next moment, a heavy slap landed on her face.

Hailey Bundred, who had just stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, delivered the slap before angrily pushing her away.

"Jane, I'm still his official girlfriend, and yet you're throwing yourself at him like this. What's your intention? Are you so shameless that you have to seduce your brother?"

Jane's face burned with pain. Her eyes brimmed with tears, but they didn't fall.

Yes, how could she forget?

Tom had a girlfriend now, and they were going to get married soon.

Jane had been an orphan since childhood. Later, the Howard family had taken her in out of kindness, and Tom had spoiled her for many years. She had long grown used to clinging to him.

She looked at Tom with a mix of grievance and hope in her eyes.

Surely, he wouldn't let her be mistreated like this?

But Tom's gaze was cold, his tone even colder. "Jane, you should know your place!"

'My place?'

Jane let out a self-deprecating laugh. "Sorry! That was thoughtless of me!"

She turned and fled in panic.

The moment the door closed, she heard Hailey's voice. "Tom, I didn't mean to hit her. I just love you too much, and I couldn't hold back my jealousy."

Tom's voice was indifferent. "It's fine. She really needed to wake up."

Was that true?

Jane returned to her room and dialed a number.

"Mr. Westwood, I've decided to go to Eularo to further my career."

On the other end of the line, Mr. Westwood laughed with delight. "You should've done this earlier! With your talent, you'd already be a world-famous photographer by now. When are you coming?"

Jane thought for a moment and replied, "Probably in about 2 weeks."

She needed some time to say goodbye to everything here.

In truth, Hailey was Tom's secretary.

Back then, Tom had placed several resumes in front of Jane. "Jane, help me choose one."

Jane hesitated. "I don't really understand what to look for. Why not let the human resources department handle it?"

But Tom said, "My secretary will probably be interacting with you often in the future. Pick someone you like, so it'll be more comfortable for you."

Hailey was the one she had personally chosen to be Tom's secretary.

What she hadn't expected was that she wasn't choosing a secretary but rather a future "sister-in-law" for herself.

The next day, Hailey seemed to have forgotten about the previous incident
