Jordan was awakened by a tempting aroma.Groggily, she sat up and realized she was still hooked up to an IV drip.Her body felt as though it had been pulled from water, drenched and weak.Looking around, the clean and warm-toned surroundings reminded her that she was at Oliver's house."Awake?"Oliver walked in, placing his warm hand gently on her forehead."The fever has gone down a bit."The medication in the IV bottle had just run out.He bent down, held her hand, and swiftly removed the needle.Jordan didn't feel any pain at all."Hold it here yourself," he instructed.Jordan pressed down on the needle site as instructed, while Oliver went out and returned with two bags in his hands."The bathroom is just next door. Change your clothes and come have something to eat."After her grandfather's passing, Jordan had rarely experienced such detailed care.The members of the Howard family were kind to her, but they were still Westley's relatives.During the years of his sil
"Did you think I was that wife of yours, who’s currently staying with his lover?"Westley didn't even look at him, nor did he respond."Tsk."Frank casually sat down, placing the cheap fruit basket he had bought on the side. "I came all this way just to visit you. Zachary didn’t have time, so he asked me to check in on you on his behalf."Westley glanced at the low-quality fruit basket. "You, Frank, with your wealth and business empire, can't even afford a premium fruit basket?"Frank chuckled. "Oh, I see. You can't lash out at others, so you're taking it all out on me, huh? Fine, I'll let it slide, considering you're the patient here. Me? I've got a wife, and she manages all the money. Premium fruit baskets need her approval, and she said no. Even this ordinary fruit basket used up my entire monthly allowance."Westley, hearing the word "wife" repeated so many times, wanted to shove a dirty sock in Frank's mouth.‘Oh, so having a wife makes you all high and mighty?’It was as
Frank wasn't polite about it. "Even though it was my wife helping Jane worry less that led to this outcome, she still put in effort. So, consider this a favor you owe. If my wife ever faces any difficulties, you must help."‘Do they see me as a wishing well or something?’One after another, people would toss him a coin and expect him to grant a big favor in return.But since the words had already been spoken, there was no way to take them back.In any case, he did receive some very useful information."Fine."Frank left, satisfied.Once he got into the car heading to the airport, he sent a message to Charlotte, asking for a reward.After a long while, a photo came through from her.The moment Frank saw it, he felt a rush of heat coursing through his entire body."Frank..."From the front seat, Alan glanced back through the rearview mirror and was stunned. "Your nose is bleeding! We're still near the Greyson family's hospital. Should we stop and check?"Frank calmly grabbed
She noticed the blanket on him had mostly fallen off, so she tiptoed over to cover him.Suddenly, her wrist was grabbed.She found herself staring into Oliver's dreamy yet deeply affectionate eyes."Jordy, only in my dreams do I dare to tell you that I like you..."Buzz buzz—The sudden vibration, like an alarm, jolted Oliver awake instantly.He abruptly withdrew his hand.Rubbing his eyes, he sat up, and upon seeing Jordan's slightly dazed expression, a flash of regret crossed his face."Sorry, I thought I was dreaming."Jordan, slow to react, stood up. She felt something was off but instinctively chose not to ask further."Oliver, your phone—it seems like it's urgent."Oliver immediately picked up his phone and walked toward the French window to answer.Jordan went to pour herself some water. After drinking it, she suddenly grasped what had felt off earlier.She remembered Westley's hostility toward Oliver.Initially, she thought it was just Westley's possessiveness and
She couldn't settle down.Carter came to check on his post-surgery condition.Seeing him, it seemed he wouldn't need psychological treatment anymore.After recording his physical condition, Carter turned and left.It was Westley who stopped him, saying, "Why aren’t you asking me anything?"Carter had known him for many years.But he rarely asked about his private life.It was only when he helped him with his psychological issues that he learned about his relationship with Jordan.Originally, he didn't like gossip."I'm busy," Carter replied coldly, then started to walk away.Westley found him boring. "With a personality like yours, no wonder your non-blood-related sister doesn't like you."Carter stopped walking but still had his back to Westley.Westley waited for a while, hearing no response, and continued, "As a doctor, you face death almost every day. It's fine if you're cold by nature, but you can't be indifferent to everyone and everything.""She's been your sister f
At the moment, she had no work, and she wasn't familiar with Hulerwood.Even Nelana, which she was familiar with, didn't feel like a place she wanted to go back to.So, she wandered aimlessly.Buck followed her, neither too close nor too far.At the right time, he reported Jordan's situation to Westley.Jordan walked for a while and found a place to eat some spaghetti bolognese.After sitting by the roadside for a bit, she flew to Jeswood.At this time of year, the rare animals she could photograph had already been captured.Other than the red carpet shoot that Oliver mentioned, there were no other activities in the past few days.If she asked in the work group, Oliver would definitely know.Recently, she didn't want to be associated with him.She needed some time to calm down.Just in time, Jane said she wanted to shoot clothes for the Charlotte Jewelry.She could also chat with Jane to avoid getting stuck in a loop.Buck followed Jordan to the airport and guessed she wa
Miranda didn't give him any face, "What's the use of your promise to me? You're not trying to chase me."Westley's breathing became heavy for a moment, and he couldn't be bothered to say anything.He was afraid he would be driven to the edge.However, Miranda didn't plan to stop. "Westley, a broken mirror is hard to mend. Even if you manage to glue the pieces together, the cracks will always remain.""Some things cannot be repaired.""When the heart has been broken, it's truly broken."Westley pressed his lips tightly together, "Mom, you once said that you didn’t want anyone else to be your daughter-in-law except Jordan."Miranda had said that.Jordan was someone she had watched grow up.She didn't have the chance to have a daughter, so she treated Jordan like her own.When she saw that the young girl had feelings for Westley, she was extremely happy.That way, Jordan would forever be part of the family.But unfortunately, her son didn't live up to expectations."No one th
"Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Collins is pregnant now. Because her condition is unstable, the doctor told her not to worry too much or think too much. So, let’s not trouble her too much. Mr. Collins said that as long as you don't mention your matter with Mr. Howard to Mrs. Collins, he can help you with the divorce. He can put in as much effort as you want."Jordan was stunned for a few seconds before reacting.She hadn't planned to say anything about her situation with Westley.They were already about to file for divorce, and there was nothing to talk about.She was here because of Oliver...However, she still responded, "Please tell Mr. Collins that he has nothing to worry about."It was enough for him to understand.Roy didn't say more.Jane was already waiting at the door.She kept checking her watch.She asked Zachary, "Why is Roy so slow? Next time, don't let him pick her up."Zachary peeled a grape and fed it to her one by one.Hearing this, he gently replied, "You can make the
Whitney deeply regretted it when Caleb pinned her down in the hot spring pool.She should have just driven the car back slowly. Once they were in the city, she could switch drivers.She could have said she was nervous driving, that she was too tired, and surely she would have been able to avoid all of this.Instead, she had chosen to stay here and do something so embarrassing."This is an outdoor hot spring..."The boldest thing Whitney had ever done was when a man with some power had used his position to take advantage of her.At that time, she had been truly frustrated.She had worked so hard, with blood on her hands, just to survive and live a stable life.Yet, there was always someone trying to make her life difficult.In a fit of anger, she had used a brow-shaping knife to hurt that man.If it weren't for meeting Zachary, she would definitely be worse off than a street rat by now.But Caleb could always break her understanding of things and perform such bold actions."
"Georgina should know him better than I do, since you've known him longer than I have."Georgina nodded. "That's true, which is why I asked you if he's always bullying you. I just know how annoying his personality can be."Millie agreed, "Exactly.""Whitney, I've told you from the moment I met you—if you're being bullied, you have to tell me."But Whitney had never told her anything!She had thought that Caleb loved her so much that he wouldn't do anything to bully Whitney.But today, she realized that wasn't the case."You really have to listen to Georgina."Whitney nodded repeatedly but still said, "He hasn't bullied me, you guys don't need to worry."Some things, even though she admired and liked the Georgina, she couldn't say.If Caleb got angry, she would be the one to suffer. And perhaps it would also affect the Collins family.Since there was nothing wrong between them as a couple, outsiders wouldn't say much.Georgina's earlier remarks were also a subtle probe.It
Millie laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She pointed at Caleb with a chicken leg. "Look at you now."She hugged Whitney, unable to contain her excitement. "You really stood up for me, Whitney."Whitney slowly processed what had just happened and turned to look at Caleb.Caleb, arms crossed, leaned back in his chair with a displeased expression on his face.Whitney nervously bit her lip. "I'm sorry..."Caleb's displeasure deepened. "Why are you apologizing?"Whitney looked at him sincerely. "I shouldn't have joined in teasing you. You're my husband, I should have spoken up for you."Caleb's anger suddenly dissipated.He patted Whitney on the head. "Alright, you've made progress. I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again."Whitney nodded. "Thank you."The three girls across from them were all taken aback.The one laughing the hardest, Millie, was now staring wide-eyed.She had never seen anyone pursue someone like this.Caleb was unbelievable.Blake, ho
Whitney glanced at the steak and said she wasn't going to eat anymore, she was full.But her gaze remained fixed on Georgina.Caleb was rendered speechless.Georgina noticed this and rested her chin in her hand, looking at Whitney with a smile. "Whit likes me, doesn't she?"Up until now, only Jane and the others had called her Whit.But hearing it from her idol felt completely different.Whitney immediately felt a surge of nervousness. The flush from the hot spring had barely faded, but now it quickly came rushing back.She stammered, unable to speak for a long while.Georgina's smile deepened. "What's so embarrassing? I like Whit too.""That’s enough." Caleb tightened his grip on his knife and fork, afraid he might accidentally fling them."Lucifer's getting old, and he's not satisfying you anymore, is he?"What was she doing, flirting with his wife?Georgina removed her hand from her chin and gave Caleb a big thumbs up."I wouldn't dare to say that word, but you're reall
"If I stopped him from coming in, the things he could do would be worse than what's happening now."Yvonne changed into a green, form-fitting long dress, adjusting her makeup and hair in front of the mirror."Then I wouldn't be able to do business at all."Georgina crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe. "I can tell you never really intended to stop him."Yvonne glanced at her, her eyes soft and seductive.Georgina reached out and pinched her. "If I were him, I'd want to sleep with you too.""Get lost." Yvonne pushed her hand away. "Then have Lucifer handle it for me. Anyway, I don't have the authority to stop Blake. He’s a member of the Hilton family, after all."Georgina straightened up and became serious. "Are you sure?"Yvonne didn't answer, adjusting the straps of her dress as she walked out of the bathroom.Georgina smiled. "I knew you weren't serious."She draped her arm around Yvonne's shoulder as they walked out together. "Let's have a good talk. His paren
Caleb truly couldn't interfere. In fact, he hadn't planned to get too involved in Blake's affairs.Occasionally, he could play the supporting role, and that was enough.He stepped aside to make way.Georgina immediately left.Whitney slowly blinked her eyes.Georgina was her idol, and she wanted to become someone like her.Someone who had confidence in everything she did, completely unafraid of offending anyone."Let's go." Millie patted Whitney's shoulder. "If someone didn't know any better, they'd think you had feelings for Georgina. Your husband's still around. If he gets jealous, he might just smash this place to the ground."Whitney did indeed like Georgina, but it wasn't that kind of like.It was admiration and respect.Just as she was about to say something, she met Caleb's cold gaze and changed her words."I'm just worried. Blake seems to be in a bad mood."Millie told her not to worry. "Everything has its match. It's just something between men and women.""And wit
The people at Yvonne's place were all professionally trained, and later, when Georgina married Lucifer, Lucifer had even placed several of his men here.Even though Lucifer and his eldest brother were practically inseparable, he still couldn't get any information from them."Mr. Caleb, it's been a while since I've seen you out having fun."He didn't plan to ask about the people he recognized either. After all, he didn't want anyone to know that his wife had left him to come here and have fun."Blake is here. I'm afraid he might do something stupid, so I came to check on him."Everyone who came to this place knew about the situation between Blake and Yvonne.The Hilton family was not one to be provoked, especially since Yvonne was very close to Lucifer's wife.Two major families—this wasn't something they could just casually comment on.In the past, there were some who tried to "save" Yvonne, but they never showed up again.Later, everyone figured that this might be a kind of g
"Mr. Blake, my relationship with you is merely that of an owner and a guest," she said. "You come, I entertain you, but you have no right to stick your nose into my business."She could wear whatever she wanted.Even if some people had ill intentions, that was their problem.What did her choice of clothes have to do with anything?Back when Caleb and the others came to play, in the summer, she wore even less, and no one had acted inappropriately.Anyone who wanted to act out inappropriately couldn't even step foot through this door anymore.Blake didn't know what she was thinking, but just looking at her attire, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.Silently, he put the coat back over her shoulders, and said gruffly, "It's cold."Caleb found the situation amusing but remained concerned about Whitney, so he didn't smile.At least he knew that with Mrs. Scholfield around, they wouldn't dare make a scene.Otherwise, Lucifer would turn this place into ruins.The tall building
“Georgina.” Whitney took the initiative to walk over and greet her. "Haven’t seen you in ages."Georgina smiled. "Everything's ready. Let's change first. We can talk while soaking in the hot springs."Millie led Whitney to the changing rooms.Yvonne mentioned that she had important guests today and would join them later.Georgina nodded.Caleb and Blake bumped into each other at the entrance.Blake had feelings for his family, but perhaps because he lost his parents at a young age, his personality had grown colder over the years.It wasn't that he didn't care, it was just that he couldn't be like Caleb, always smiling, with a more lively temperament."Caleb.""Blake."Caleb didn't waste time with pleasantries. There was no need between relatives.He walked briskly inside.Blake followed and asked what had happened.Caleb asked the receptionist where Millie's room was.The receptionist smiled professionally. "Mr. Caleb, I'm sorry, although you hold immense power, I still c
