Chapter 193 Reasons Behind the Struggle
Jane’s careful plans crumbled as Arnold unexpectedly hurled his phone at her.
“Take a good look! Cora carved the old Lane Mansion, every detail so lifelike. You’ve never been there, so how could you imagine it without copying?”
Arnold’s voice boomed, leaving Jane stunned. “The old Lane Mansion?”
Jane quickly picked up the phone Arnold had thrown, and on the screen was the 3D model of the old Lane Mansion that had been auctioned.
The Lane family ancestors were prominent in New York, and their old mansion was exquisitely designed with intricate courtyards and majestic structures. The carvings on the doors were stunningly beautiful.
The old mansion faced a considerable price decline during the auction. But it was eventually sold for an impressive 33 million dollars, proving its value.

To Jane’s surprise, Cora had sculpted her work with the theme of Dream Home turned out to be the exact replica of the old
Lane Mansion.
In the beginning, Jane utilized Darren’s relation to Sara
to pressure the organizers into borrowing Cora’s work for a whole day. She then enlisted several woodcarving enthusiasts to help create a piece that bore an eighty percent resemblance.
Time was tight, so she didn’t have the luxury to investigate whether Cora’s work was a depiction of a real place or not. Unfortunately, this hasty decision led to a huge mistake, which Arnold eventually discovered later.
At that moment, Jane was panicked, fearing that Arnold might dislike her.
Many heiresses had become pawns in their families’ commercial alliances due to a lack of favor at home.
She didn’t want to fall into such a miserable situation!
“Grandpa, I know I was wrong. But you must understand, I had my reasons,” Jane knelt before Arnold, tears streaming down her face, and pleaded.
“Even with your reasons, you shouldn’t resort to such deceitful acts! It’s a matter of integrity!”

Arnold still refused to look Jane in the eye, his voice stern and
unyielding.
Jane crawled to Arnold’s side, holding his hand and crying.
“Grandpa, I know it’s wrong to use deceitful tactics that hurt others and yourself, but I had no choice. Dr. Lane has been secretly seeing Byron behind my back, and Byron has been staying overnight at her place all this time. When you thought Byron was greeting me just now, he was actually exchanging flirtatious glances with Dr. Lane. I couldn’t bear it anymore. I’ve never experienced such a great injustice before…”
“Is this true?”
Arnold was surprised by the revelation.
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask around. It’s clear that I met Byron first, and we were even planning to get engaged.
Dr. Lane interfered in our relationship at this critical moment,
and I felt so wronged and couldn’t find anywhere to turn, so I
resorted to such extreme measures.”
Seeing Jane crying in the cold wind, almost in despair, Arnold sighed softly, “Get up and go back home for now. I’ll
investigate the matter thoroughly.”
Jane stood up, hesitated momentarily, and then draped her
Chapter 193 Reasons Behind the Struggle coat over Arnold’s shoulders.
“Grandpa, please don’t stay out here in the cold. I can bear
anything else, but I can’t bear losing you. I want you to live a long and healthy life.”
Her words struck a chord in Arnold’s heart, instantly melting
his resolve.
“Alright, let’s go home together.”
With Jane’s support, Arnold quickly left the exhibition center.
