Chapter 145

Just as she had expected, Mr. Fallon did not sign the documents for returning the shares. Instead, he set them aside and scrutinized her with a particularly complicated expression.

Jane felt uncertain, not knowing what he was going to say or do next.

The atmosphere fell into an awkward silence, and after a long while, Mr. Fallon looked up and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, “Is this how you want to cut ties with me immediately?”

Jane pursed her lips but remained silent.

“Has your all this?”

“No,” Jane replied softly. “I found out by accident. We have no blood relation.”

“So, today I’m here to return these to you….”

Her palms were sweaty as she discreetly observed Mr. Fallon’s expression.

David Fallon straightened his posture and asked, “Why do you want to do this?”

“Because I’m not surnamed Fallon,” she answered. “These things don’t belong to me.”

“Janey, I’ve treated you as my own daughter for so many years,” David said. “Well, haven’t I? Is it not worth something to you?”

Huh, is that so? Jane sneered inwardly.

When she was bullied by Fiona, when she was scolded by Joy, when she watched other girls being loved by their fathers while she had nothing..

Where was this father of hers?

Jane took a deep breath and looked at him calmly. “My mother taught me from a young age that I shouldn’t take what doesn’t belong to me. The company’s shares involve too many interests, and I don’t want to get involved in this mess or bring trouble upon myself.”

“These shares were a gift from me,” Mr. David Fallon insisted. “Janey, the company is mine, and I have the right to dispose of the shares!”

“It’s your business whom you want to give them to, but whether I accept them or not is my business.”

“Janey!” Mr. Fallon’s voice grew stern.

Jane’s body trembled slightly, and her doubts grew heavier.

Who would insist on giving money to someone else?

The only explanation was that the person could bring him a value greater than that money!

Her heart raced, and her scrutinizing gaze made Mr. Fallon worried.

This girl was too clever, just like her mother…

But to get those things from Mrs. Davis’s hands, Jane was an obstacle that couldn’t be bypassed.
