Chapter 46 Doing the Whole Damn Job
Jean couldn’t help getting curious.
Who the hell is this guy who doesn’t even want to meet with Selena…?
Finished
Selena scoffed, her voice getting more annoyed. “If it weren’t for the fact that he’s a Ginger, I wouldn’t even bother taking your suggestion and trying to meet him.”
Jean froze.
ONL
She was eavesdropping from a bathroom stall… And somehow ended up eavesdropping on a plot that involved her own family.
Honestly, she was kinda into it. Bring on the drama.
“I know, for the sake of the family, for your sake, I’m supposed to win him over, make him like me,” Selena continued, “but he keeps dodging the meeting. What am I supposed to do?”
Jean frowned.
Dominic kept refusing to meet Selena? That… wasn’t what happened in the novel.
Something had definitely gone off script.
“But hey, Selena said with a smug little laugh, “I might have a foolproof workaround. If Dominic doesn’t want to meet me. then don’t tell him I’ll be there. Just meet up with him on your own–and slip something into his drink… I’ll show up after
that.”
Jean’s eyes flew open.
Wow.Sothat’sthe kind of character you are, huh?
“I’m not bothered, Selena added with a snicker. “Honestly, I might even benefit. Dominic’s pretty damn good–looking. You know I’ve always had a thing for hot guys. Speaking of which, I’m currently out on a date with a cute one right now…”
“Since he’s immune to charm, this is the only way. Can’t blame us. Ginger family’s got value–if he ends up giving me what I want, I won’t mind putting a little effort into keeping him around.”
“You know I’m not great at settling down.”
Jean sat there behind the stall door, brain firing on all cylinders.
Okay. So, according to this snake of a woman, the one in danger now is-
My big brother Dominic.)
Technically, this wasn’t her business.
She’d never planned to use her inside knowledge of the novel to rescue the Ginger family from disaster.
That kind of thing? Way too exhausting-
She was trying to live a peaceful, lazy life.
But now that she knew someone was about to drug Dominic and set him up..
Well. She couldn’t just sit on her hands and let it happen.

Chapter 45 Doing the Whole Darnn Job
If I’m gonna help, I might as well see it through.
Muttering complaints under her breath, she called the driver to take her out.
I do end up saving him, I’m gonna charge him so much money.
Seriously. I must’ve owed the entire Ginger family in a past life. Y’all are a handful
The driver was confused but followed her instructions and dropped her off outside the Vienna Hotel.
In his eyes, Jean was still just a kid. He tried to follow her inside, thinking he needed to escort her.
But Jean waved him off.
Family scandal doesn’t need an audience, okay?
Finished
The driver was basically an outsider anyway. And this whole thing was definitely not glamorous. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Also she wasn’t really thirteen.
–
Going to a hotel by herself? Please. Child’s play
She told the driver to wait in the parking lot and entered the hotel alone.
As soon as she walked into the lobby, she realized something crucial-
She didn’t know the room number,
Without that info, how the hell was she going to find Dominic?
She tried calling him one more time-
His phone was now officially turned off.
Jean sighed and put her phone away.
She wandered down one of the hotel corridors.

“Asher, go on home, okay? Don’t stay up too late studying. And don’t forget to turn the lights off,” said a woman in a housekeeping uniform, speaking to a tall teenage boy beside her with a warm smile.
The boy lowered his eyes, face quiet and unreadable.
He nodded faintly. “If you’re tired, I’ll help you finish up here before I go.”
Jean’s gaze landed squarely on him.
