Chapter 1145

Author: Lean
As she grew older, her parents started to plan for her, seeing that she could fetch a good price.

But she refused to comply with their wishes.

She loved Lucifer, and of course, she had given her heart to him. But the bitterness wasn’t because he loved someone else and not her.

It came from her parents.

They wanted to erase this embarrassing phase of her being obsessed with love.

But she, relying on her work in the media industry, made it widely known.

Lucifer didn’t pursue it, because Mrs. Scholfield understood her situation.

That was why she allowed her to spread the story.

She really couldn’t compare to that woman.

The woman was truly exceptional, full of wisdom.

She also wanted to become such a person.

And she had to become one.

"I am now the leader, and I have the right to make any decision. Here, there is no family bond. Everything is for the benefit of the Howard family. You two have contributed nothing to the Howard family, just being freeloaders. I’ve already been l

    Roy was standing at the door, looking at the group chat.Ross was happily sending a ten-photo sequence from the airport.He was finally able to return from that far-off corner.He missed Jeswood!Ross. "From now on, Mrs. Collins will be my goddess."Raymond. "That won’t be enough. I’ll see her as my ancestor from now on."Raymond was also finally able to leave that far-off corner and come back.Roy, Rick, and Ronan all simultaneously sent. "Remember to call me Grandpa in the future."Raymond. "Get lost!"Just as Roy was putting away his phone, the door behind him opened.Dr. Connie had a dark face.Roy asked, “Was the treatment smooth?”Connie shook his head. “It’s too serious. It won’t be easy to treat in a short period of time. Also, he has a strong sense of self-preservation. Even hypnosis can’t reach the deepest parts.”“He can’t accept that Mrs. Howard doesn’t love him.”Roy didn’t understand, but said, “Please do your best.”“I will certainly do my best.” Connie’s

    Frank replied, "Mr. Smith says that he won’t help."Then he hung up the phone.Leanne was rendered speechless.Charlotte was also speechless. She reached out to grab the phone."Didn't you say you couldn't speak?"Frank allowed her to take the phone and hugged her from behind as she sent a message to Leanne."They’re not deliberately not helping you. Their point is that they want you to figure it out yourself, to become stronger. If you keep relying on others, you’ll never be able to hold the position of the head of the Howard family."Frank kissed her neck and laughed, saying, "You really know how to comfort someone."Charlotte nudged him with her shoulder.Frank rested his chin on her shoulder and moved with her, up and down.He chuckled. "The head of the Howard family isn’t like that little media company she runs. It doesn’t have to be so gentle. She needs to understand how many strokes the word 'cruel' has."Charlotte had a question. "Even if Westley gets better, he stil

    "Do you mean, give up?"Zachary replied indifferently, "Shouldn't I give up?"Carter rarely managed to pull a smile, but it was extremely cold."Advising others to give up, then why did you... not give up on her?"Zachary followed Carter's gaze and looked into the car.Jane was sitting upright, but clearly eavesdropping.With a smile in his eyes, he looked at her, but his words were aimed at Carter."I’m different from you guys, she loves me."Jane shot him a glare.Zachary didn't waste more time and bent down to get into the car.The car drove out of the hospital's underground car park.Jane looked through the rearview mirror and noticed that Carter was still standing in the same spot.All this time, her impression of Carter was that he was cold, ruthless, and quiet.He didn't seem like a doctor, but his medical skills were impressive, healing one patient after another.But at this moment, all she saw in him was desolation.She asked Zachary, "Is Carter’s love life this

    "I only know this much."Jane handed the snacks to Jordan again.Zachary chuckled softly. "You really love gossip.""Of course."Seeing her admit it directly, with such a proud look, Zachary’s smile softened with affection.Jordan felt like she should have been under the car."Go ahead," Jane urged her.Jordan continued, "Once he knew Mandy wasn't his biological sister, Carter's feelings became obvious, but Mandy couldn’t accept it. Plus, Mandy Greyson was always targeting her, and Carter protected her fiercely. For her, he didn’t even care about his biological sister.""Mandy Morris didn’t want to cause a rift between the siblings because of her, and she really had monopolized Mandy Greyson’s good days for over a decade. When Mandy Greyson finally managed to escape the mountains and had suffered a lot. Therefore, Mandy Morris left the Greyson family."Jane didn’t understand. "How is what you’re saying related to their feelings? Is that why Mandy could hate Carter so much?"J

    "What the f..."Jane held back the urge to curse.In the end, she didn’t say anything.Because whatever she said would certainly not sound nice.She had to consider the baby’s well-being.Jordan noticed that Jane was upset and didn’t continue the topic.Zachary had expected this and held her gently, soothing her."So, I’m not helping him. What he did was wrong? I’m well-behaved, aren’t I?"Jane sighed softly. "When I ignored you before, didn’t you also forcefully pursue me?""It’s different." Zachary rubbed against her neck. "I knew you had feelings for me."Jane pushed him. "Get off, I’m trying to be angry here."Zachary eased up a little but still held onto her."Don’t be upset. What do you want to eat? I’ll go buy it for you.""I’m not eating."Jane wasn’t in the mood to eat.She wouldn’t let someone else’s issues cause a conflict between her and Zachary.But she just felt uneasy."Jane, here’s some candy for you."Jordan reached over from the front seat. "You told

    It was nothing more than him giving Jane an explanation by sending Westley abroad.And Westley knew that he had been too harsh with Jordan this time, so he went to reflect on what he had done.After landing, Charlotte came to pick them up.Jasmine blended in quickly, and the four girls immediately made plans to have a meal together.Frank and Zachary walked behind. The former's steps were lazy.Frank asked Zachary, "Did Carter ask you for help?"Zachary asked in return, "Did he ask you as well?"Frank clicked his tongue. "Last time, my wife made clothes for Mrs. Scholfield, and she really liked them. She has a very good relationship with the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hilton family.""You could say, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hilton family is Mrs. Scholfield's little fan. She listens to and supports whatever Mrs. Scholfield says.""Since it didn't work on you, she's trying to make moves through me."Zachary's voice remained steady. "I advise you not to get involved.

    Jane asked Jasmine, "How do you play this game? I want to try it too.""They say that looking at handsome men more often will result in having handsome children. That way, my son will be worthy of becoming Charlotte's son-in-law."Jasmine loved sharing this kind of fun with others, but Jordan secretly poked her.Jordan knew the tempers of Zachary and Frank.Even if it was just men in an otome game, her sister and Charlotte couldn't look at them too much.Since Jasmine was her assistant, she had to protect her."You can play this game by yourself. My sister doesn't need it. My brother-in-law is so handsome, and my sister is so beautiful. Their children will definitely be better looking than these game models."Jordan had already hinted crazily, blinking so much that her eyes were about to wear out."Oh my!" Jordan exaggerated her actions. "My eyes feel so uncomfortable today."Jane and Charlotte exchanged glances and burst into laughter.Jane turned to Charlotte and said, "Isn

    "Besides, I didn't even download that game."She hadn't even seen clearly what it was.Zachary rested his chin on her shoulder, his nose brushing against her neck as he took in her scent.His deep, attractive voice carried a hint of grievance. "I feel like you've been upset with me lately, acting cold and distant. And now, seeing how you wanted to look at other men today, I suppose you're tired of me, huh? You were even reminiscing about the past. So, I robbed you of the chance to enjoy being surrounded by admirers, is that it? Honey, am I not good enough for you? You're actually thinking about other men?""Huh?" Jane was so amused she laughed. "Maybe you should go get your brain checked at the hospital."Zachary hummed in agreement. "I probably should. If they scan it, I'm sure it'll just be filled with your name—completely love-struck."Jane burst out laughing. She turned her head and kissed his thin lips.Zachary took the opportunity to deepen the kiss.The driver silently r

    Actually, Jane didn't need to say anything, Jordan wouldn't believe that Westley was sick either."I know, Jane, I'll head back right away."Jane couldn't be at ease and had already sent someone."Ross will help you leave. I'll send you his photo.""Alright, don't worry, Jane. I'll be fine."Jane was still uneasy. "Get back as soon as possible. Send me the flight details, and I'll meet you at the airport."Jordan didn't argue with her now, she was pregnant after all."Okay, Jane. I understand."After hanging up the phone, Jordan grabbed Jasmine's hand and walked.But she was stopped by Westley once again."Jordy, why won't you talk to me?"Jordan ignored him and kept walking forward.Westley grabbed her other hand."Jordy, what did I do wrong? Can you tell me? Should I go buy you some snacks now? Don't be angry."Jordan had tolerated enough from Westley.He just didn't love her, so she wanted to end this marriage, which never should have happened, in a dignified way.Hi

    "You're pregnant now, so take good care of yourself, and we'll talk after you have the baby. During this period, I promise I won't let Jordy be harmed. How does that sound?"Jane responded better to soft persuasion than hard.It seemed like everyone knew about this.However, based on these words from Leanne, she seemed to have caught a very important piece of information.She glanced outside, looking at Zachary.She remained silent for a few seconds before speaking."Leanne, do you really consider me a friend?""Of course.""Then let me ask you this. Is Westley really sick?"There was a brief pause. Jane already had a sense of what was going on.And Zachary also heard this. His gaze met Jane's at that moment.It was calm but carried the potential for a storm.She said to Leanne, "Leanne, I'm tired. We'll talk another time."Leanne opened her mouth, but Jane interrupted. "Zachary, I'm tired."Zachary asked Leanne to leave and immediately got into the car, instructing the d

    But they still hadn't figured out who their parents were.In this case, as Jordan's sister, she had the right to demand an explanation from them.Westley had kidnapped someone, which was definitely wrong."I won't speak for my son. If he's wrong, he's wrong. Jordy was like my own daughter, and when she's sad, I'm heartbroken too." Miranda sighed. "But we've already advised him. He's an adult, and we can't just lock him in the house. There are many things that need him to manage and handle for the Howard family."When it came to her own son, she could speak nicely, but the balance in her heart was still tilted.Jane didn't argue about this."If you, as parents, can't control your son and allow him to harm someone else's precious child, I don't mind sending him to prison. If it makes it to the trending news, don't blame me for embarrassing the Howard family."The three members of the Howard family simultaneously looked at Zachary.They saw him peeling an orange, cleaning off the

    It was Lewis who had taken her to her room."Sorry, Ms. Hickey, the evening was lively, and Jasmine also had a couple of drinks."He emphasized, "She only had two drinks to join in the fun. We didn't force her to drink, and let her throw up."Jordan helped Jasmine to the bed and thanked Lewis.Lewis hurriedly said, "There’s no need. It's what I should do. Jasmine went out with us, so we had to ensure her safety.""Please rest now."Jordan nodded, thanked him again, and closed the door to her room.She asked Jasmine, "Can you wash up by yourself?""Yes, I can," Jasmine replied as she walked into the bathroom. "Ms. Hickey, I didn't drink too much.""I'm still very clear-headed."Jordan said, "Girls should always protect themselves when they're out. If you can avoid drinking, it's better not to drink.""Today I was just happy to meet my idol. I don't usually drink much.""I understand."After Jordan finished her work and had washed up, she climbed into bed and started looking

    "I'll be honest with you, but don't get angry."As soon as Jane heard this, she understood.She proposed a hypothesis. "If he were diagnosed with a mental illness, could he be considered legally incompetent?"Zachary placed some food on her plate and said in a negotiating tone, "Can we... just let them handle it themselves?"Jane refused to eat the food. "Westley has already committed a crime. Are you suggesting that I let my own sister suffer harm and let her handle the issue with a criminal?""That's not what I meant...""You're still siding with Westley. Well, of course, she's not your biological sister, so how could you possibly care?"Zachary realized that the more he spoke, the worse it got.He had never intended to interfere in Westley's affairs.Who could have predicted that Jordan would turn out to be Jane's biological sister?Or that he would end up marrying Jane?"We promised to be honest with each other."Zachary sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, Westley

    Ameca was huge.How could they run into each other like this?Jane asked again, "How many days will you be staying?"She had only received a message from Jordan saying she had landed safely for an overseas shoot.Other than that, Jordan hadn't mentioned much, and Jane hadn't asked.After all, it was her personal job—there was no need to interfere too much.But thinking about it now, she should've asked more questions.Jordan replied, "Three days. Today's shoot is almost over, so there are two more days left.""Alright, let me know when you're coming back. I'll pick you up.""No need to trouble yourself. I won't get lost. Just take care of yourself, rest well, and don't worry about me. I can take care of myself."Jane trusted Jordan's ability to manage her own life.Even before they had reunited as sisters, she had looked into Jordan's background and knew how she had made her way through life.But she didn't understand Westley, nor could she control him.He was a dangerous

    Jordan only glanced indifferently for less than five seconds before continuing with the shoot.Jasmine also saw Westley, but her impression of him was just average now.Although she liked forced love in games or novels, in reality, it was truly terrifying.There were still scars on Jordan's wrist that hadn't completely faded.Yesterday, she had heard from Jane about what Westley had done, which made her even angrier.Being handsome, rich, and powerful—did that make him so special?Well... it did...Jordan had no idea what Jasmine was thinking. She only saw her standing there, kicking at the ground, muttering something under her breath.She looked quite upset.Jordan found it amusing.She wasn't even angry herself."Jasmine, come hold the reflector."Jasmine came back to her senses and hurried over.Not far away, Connie had been observing Westley's expression closely.He was trying to analyze his emotions.He even took out a notepad and started jotting things down.Roy s

    "I think yesterday's time spent in nature was effective."Connie didn't care whether Roy responded or not and began making arrangements on his own.Roy followed them to a church.Unfortunately, a film was being shot there, and the place was surrounded.Not only that, but there were also a lot of fans.Amid their screams, he heard a familiar name—Michael.‘Damn.’He looked closely and saw that the banners the fans were holding had Michael's photo on them.This was truly a case of enemies crossing paths."I really didn't expect there to be a film shoot happening here."Connie said regretfully, "But this is the most famous church around."Roy didn't understand how coming to a church would help with treatment.The only thing he could do was find a way to get Connie to bring Westley inside."Mr. Howard, I'll handle it."Westley gave a slight nod.Roy went to negotiate.He quickly returned and led Westley and Connie inside.He couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Connie, why insist o

    When Jordan landed, she received a message from Yasmin.Yasmin informed her that someone had been arranged to pick her up and sent her the contact details.She was instructed to reach out after leaving the airport and head straight to the film site."Okay."After replying, Jordan called the contact.Following the directions given, she quickly found the person."Ms. Hickey."The man opened the car door and introduced himself, "I'm Mr. Hall's assistant. Just call me Lewis."Jordan found the name somewhat familiar.Meanwhile, Jasmine grabbed her arm excitedly."It's Michael Hall! I'm a huge fan of his! He's one of the men in that game I play! They modeled one of the characters after his face—he's so handsome!"Jordan had heard of Michael Hall before.Because of Jane, there had once been some gossip about him.But work was work—nothing personal.However, the content of this shoot would be displayed on a large screen later.She wasn't sure if it would be shown in Jeswood, but
