Chapter 14
Hector slapped his thigh and realized that he had made a big mistake.
“Old… Tristan, you have to help me!” Hector didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I never thought of competing with Dominic for a woman! Besides, a tender bean sprout like Jane is not my cup of tea! What’s wrong with Dominic? Why would he like her?”
Tristan took a sip of tea and smiled meaningfully.
Yes, he had never known that Mr. Campbell, who had never been close to women, not only turned into Dan here but also cared so much about a little girl like Jane.
“Dan said that he doesn’t care about this marriage. He just uses it as a shell to hide himself.”
“Do you believe him?” Tristan rolled his eyes at him. “Just wait and see. I don’t think this Jane is simple. Ha, maybe Dominic won’t even want to return to Central City then!”
After lunch, Dan said goodbye to Jane and left.
This small village could be explored in under an hour. Before marrying Jane got, he often went up the mountain along the village’s path. There was no one there, and the air was good. It was very suitable for being alone.
Dan often needed some quiet moments to plan for the future carefully.
However, he couldn’t calm down today as the dirty words that Fiona had said on the phone kept echoing in his ears.

He took a deep breath and was about to walk to the top of the mountain when he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting. “Hey, Dan!”
A young man waved his arms and ran up the path below.
Dan was stunned and frowned slightly
“I thought it was you when I was at the foot of the mountain! I didn’t expect you to walk so fast!”
“By the way, have you recovered from your injuries? Do you want me to get you some more medicine?”
Dan nodded. His voice was indifferent as he said, “Thank you. I have already recovered.”
“We’re friends. There’s no need to say thanks!”
The man patted Dan on the shoulder, and they walked toward the top of the mountain together.
Truth be told, Dan was grateful to him. His name was Josh Green, and he came from a good family. He was one of the few wealthy people in the village.
He was also the only university student in the village who graduated from medical school.
When he returned from graduation, he met Dan, who was recuperating at home. Josh was warm-hearted, and the entire village felt that Dan had a weird temper and was hard to approach. Only Josh would check his injuries every few days and occasionally send some medicine.
This unexpected friendship made Dan feel warm.
But later, it became a burden to him.
It was unknown where Josh had found out about the relationship between the Murphy and Fallon
families, but everyone knew about it. The entire Cardiff was watching the show of the Fallon family. If they did not marry because the Murphy family had declined, the Fallon family would be labeled untrustworthy in business.
The Fallon family had no choice but to let Jane marry into the family instead of Fiona.
“Oh, by the way, I haven’t asked how you’re doing as a newlywed yet!” Josh smiled happily and looked him up and down. “You seem to be in high spirits. Do you get along well with your new wife?” “Speaking of which, I’m the one matching you guys. When will you bring your new wife out for a gathering?”
Dan’s face darkened as he grinned, his smile extremely unnatural.
When he first came to this village to recuperate, he happened to know that no one in the Murphy family was there, and Dan looked very similar to him, so he took that person’s place.
