Chapter 5 Shanan left the country after that , heartbroken . Yet , the moment he heard Jayden had passed away , he immediately moved his company back into the country and began pursuing me passionately . Thanks to Jesse and Joel's continuous manipulation , I had built a bastion around my heart . No matter how hard Shanan tried , I refused to remarry . Despite that , Shanan stayed by my side without any title and supported my career with everything he had . I could confidently say that it was mostly thanks to him that I remained the richest woman in the country . And me ? I simply treated him as an opportunist . I never even took him seriously ! There was pain in my heart as I looked at Shanan with guilt in my eyes . " I was supposed to pick you up ... I wasn't expecting you to come find me again ... " The moment I spoke , tears started to roll down my cheeks uncontrollably . Shanan's clear eyes were full of pain as well , and he sighed softly . " No need to cry . I found you , didn't I? " The words just escaped his lips when I heard the sound of something heavy moving quickly in the air . Suddenly , he collapsed . I looked up in shock just to see Jayden holding a fire extinguisher in his hands , glaring murderously at us . " Lauren , all I asked for is just a little bit of your skin - not your life ! And here you are , flirting with another man right in front of me! Do you even care if I'm your husband anymore ? Once we transplant your skin onto Nel , I'll deal with you properly ! " He turned to his brothers . " Do it ! " At his command , Jesse and Joel dragged the unconscious Shanan aside and reached out to cover my mouth and nose . I stared in horror at the blood dripping from the back of Shanan's head , my heart pounding . " Jayden ... How dare you ?! I'm the one who gave you everything ! Why would you do all of this just to please a maid ? " Jayden's expression was cold , and his voice was even colder . " In your eyes , she's just a maid . But to us , she's a goddess of purity and kindness . She's much better than some arrogant heiress like you ! When my grandma , my only family , fell sick 1/2 because of a heart attack ... It was Nel who sent someone to save her . No matter how much look down on us commoners , you'll never be able to compare to Nel's kindness ! " My pupils shrank . you Nellie came for nothing , and I kept her around since childhood as a companion . She enjoyed the luxurious life of my household . She couldn't even be bothered to leave the house without me dragging her along . How could someone like that save someone on the street ? If I was right , it was I who saved Jayden's grandmother . " Did that incident happen fourteen years ago , on a snowy day on East Street ? " Jayden frowned deeply after hearing my question . " How did you know that ? " Suddenly , I wanted to laugh . I was right . At that time , I was still quite young . I was riding in the Hanson family car with my father on our way to a banquet . We passed by a crowd where a boy was kneeling , sobbing next to an old woman who had collapsed from a heart attack . Out of impulse , I had my father send our bodyguards to take her to the hospital and even cover the cost . I didn't think much about it . Later that night , I casually told the story to Nellie like it was news . I never thought Nellie would claim the credit and use it on Jayden and the others to trample all over me . What a joke ! " Jayden , have you ever wondered about how a mere maid like Nellie , who had no family , managed to afford to pay for your grandma's medical costs ? " Jayden froze , but quickly composed himself . " What are you saying , Lauren ? Are you trying to steal Nellie's credit ? " he barked . Support
