Chapter 6
Linda was also a bit surprised. "Jane, even if you want to show some kindness, we could have just donated money. Why donate all the clothes? It's getting cold, what will you wear?"
Jane looked at Tom, gave a light smile, and said, "Didn't you say you'd help Hailey compensate me? These clothes are old, I don't want them anymore. With the money, I'll buy new ones. Is that okay?"
Tom looked at her for a while and nodded. "Fine, how much do you want? I'll transfer it to you right now."
Jane held up two fingers.
Tom asked, "200 thousand? Sure."
"No."
"2 million?"
Hailey suddenly got anxious. "How can a few pieces of clothing be worth 2 million?"
Jane gave her a cold look and then said to Tom, "20 cents."
These clothes were the ones Tom had insisted on buying for her before.
Now that she had decided to leave, she didn't want to take his things, let alone his money.
As he himself had said, this was the Howard family, and she was an outsider.
20 cents, transaction complete.
More than 20 years of relationship, written off in one stroke.
Tom looked slightly impatient. "Jane, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Are you going to make the transfer or not? If you are, just transfer the money. If not, forget it."
Tom pondered for a moment and still transferred the money.
He said, "The promise has been fulfilled. Consider this my compensation for Hailey. Don't let this issue affect your relationship with her in the future."
Jane looked at the 20 cents that had appeared in her bank account and gave a slight smile. "Don't worry, it will never happen again."
"And about our wedding, you must come as the photographer. It's Hailey's wish."
Jane thought for a moment, her flight was in the evening.
It would be their wedding night.
So she nodded. "Alright."
In the following days, Jane hardly returned to the Howard family.
She went to the countryside, took a new set of bird photos, and sent them to Mr. Westwood.
Mr. Westwood was very excited after seeing them and immediately gave a video call. "Jane, your composition and color have improved even more! Several magazines here are competing for your work. Once you arrive, we can meet and pick one!"
Feeling reassured by the recognition, Jane was happy. "Alright, thank you, Mr. Westwood. By the way, did you talk to your brother? Has he agreed to let you develop your career in Eularo?"
Jane smiled. "He's actually very supportive of it."
"That's good. Now there are no worries. I thought convincing him would be a hassle..."
Jane asked Mr. Westwood for the address and sent all her equipment ahead.
Mr. Westwood would keep it for her until she arrived, then she could pick it up from his house.
On the day of Tom and Hailey's wedding, she asked the wedding planning company for their camera.
Hailey had got what she wanted, marrying into an affluent family. She was unable to hide her smugness.
Especially when Jane was taking photos, she posed like a winner.
Tom was chatting with the guests, but she wouldn't let him be, insisting that he come back and accompany her for the photos.
Linda, feeling sorry for Jane, advised, "Hailey, we've taken so many photos already. Let Jane rest for a bit."
Hailey said, "Jane is so talented. How could she be tired after taking so few photos? Right, Jane?"
Linda could no longer tolerate it and said irritably, "Let the photographer from the wedding company take the pictures. Jane really needs a break."
"But no photographer from the company can compare to Jane! This is the most important day of my life, and I must have Jane capture our happiest moment."
Jane didn't say anything. After taking the last photo, she directly returned the camera to the wedding company.
She turned and walked away.
Linda hurried after her. "Jane, where are you going?"
Jane smiled. "Linda, from now on, Hailey will be taking care of Tom. You need to take care of yourself too."
"You're my daughter as well, and I still have you."
Jane smiled and took Linda's hand. "Yes, I will always be your daughter."
Linda sighed. "Jane, once... I really thought you would become my daughter-in-law and call me 'Mom'. Who would have thought Tom..."
"Alright, Linda, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Okay, we won't."
The phone rang, it was Mr. Westwood.
"Jane, have you arrived at the airport? What time does your flight land? I'll come with my wife to pick you up."
"I'm about to head there now."
"Alright, we'll see you in eight hours."
"Okay."
After hanging up, she checked the time. It was almost time to go to the airport.
Jane didn't even return to the Howard family. She took a taxi directly to the airport.
While in waiting in the queue to board the plane, Hailey sent her another message.
Hailey. [Thank you for personally taking the photos of me and Tom. We both really like them. In the future, please remember that I’m your sister-in-law.]
Hailey. [JAne, I hope we get along well in the future. Victory.jpg]
Jane sneered and took a screenshot.
This time, she sent the screenshot directly to Tom.
Jane. [Tom, congratulations on your marriage. Goodbye and we won’t meet again.]
After sending it, she blocked both Tom and Hailey.
From now on, they would be permanently removed from her world.
The flight attendant smiled and greeted her. "Ma'am, have a pleasant flight."
Jane politely smiled in return. "Thank you, I'm very happy."
Then, without looking back, she boarded the plane.
