"It's to make sure that Jordan doesn't know, to keep their relationship ambiguous, which will stimulate Westley. That way, your cousin will get to know Westley fully."Jane was rendered speechless.Although Westley was a scheming person, Zachary's heart was no better.Jordan was woken up by Jasmine, they were about to land.Jordan turned her head left and right, relieved her neck, opened the sunshade, and could already see tall buildings.She had slept pretty well this time.As Jasmine adjusted her movements and safety measures, she made eye contact with the handsome guy in the front row.Her heart raced, and she grabbed Jordan's hand to steady herself."Ms. Hickey, he's really handsome."Jordan leaned by the window. Without Jasmine's good vantage point, she still noticed the man's gaze.It was directed at her side.She was sensitive because she had often used a camera to capture moments."He just asked me if we looked alike. Did he not say anything else?"Jasmine shook he
Jordan was worried. "Jane, let's stay for two days before going back. You should rest.""It's fine, I know what I'm doing."Jordan didn't say anything more.After boarding the plane, she wanted to tell Jane about the man she met.However, Jane said she was tired and then fell asleep.So, Jordan could only wait until Jane woke up to talk.At that moment, the man sent her a message."Do you like peanut butter?"The question was a bit abrupt, but since he was the client, and her studio was still in its startup phase, she politely replied, "Sorry, I'm allergic to peanuts."The man didn't reply after that.Jordan didn't pay much attention to it, after all, they weren't very familiar with each other."Ms. Hickey."Jasmine sat down opposite her and, seeing Jane asleep, quietly shared with Jordan."Mr. Howard also wanted to get on the plane, but he was stopped by Mr. Collins.""And then they fought!"Jordan didn't move.First, because she couldn't solve anything even if she wen
On the day of our third wedding anniversary, Ryan Frost spent a ton of money to buy a necklace that I had liked for quite some time.Everyone said that he loved me to the bottom of his heart.I was preparing a candlelight dinner whilst feeling overjoyed, but that was when I received a video.In the video, Ryan Frost personally helped another girl put on the necklace. "Congratulations, you're reborn."It seemed that today wasn't only the day of our wedding anniversary, it was also the day that his true love got her divorce.I had never thought that such a thing would happen to me.Even though the marriage between Ryan and me wasn't because the two of us fell in love with each other, he still pretended to dote on me in front of others.I sat in front of the dining table, looking at the steak that had gone cold and the words at the top of the trending searches. "Ryan Frost Spending Millions to Please His Wife."I felt every single word of that sentence taunting me.It was two o'c
'Jewelry?' I wondered.I furrowed my brows slightly and raised my voice to ask Ryan, who had just gone into the bathroom, "Ryan, Jessica's here. I'll head down to take a look."The next second, Ryan quickly walked out of the bathroom. His face was colder than ever. It was an expression that I had never seen."I'll go. It's none of your business, go wash up."The man who had always been calm in front of me suddenly had a trace of emotion in his voice. He sounded annoyed and nervous at the same time.A strange feeling arose in my heart. "I've already washed up. I was the one who squeezed the toothpaste on your toothbrush, have you forgotten?""Alright, let's head downstairs together then. We can't keep the guest waiting."I held his hand and walked down the stairs.The staircase was in a spiral. When we were halfway down, I could see Jessica wearing a white dress and sitting elegantly on the sofa.She also raised her head when she heard us coming down the stairs. When she saw mi
I was completely dumbfounded.I looked at the email over and over again as if I was trying to confirm something.I wasn’t seeing things.Jessica suddenly became the director of the Design Department, my superior.“Do you know her, Charlotte?”Jane could tell that something wasn’t right. She reached out and waved her in front of my eyes as she tried to guess what was going on.I put down my phone. “Yes, she’s Ryan’s stepsister that I told you about before.”After graduation, my roommates went their separate ways. But Jane and I had been good friends throughout university. We promised each other to stay in Jelaston and not go anywhere else.“Fuck! So she got this position because she’s Ryan’s stepsister?” cursed Jane.I was rendered speechless.‘She’s probably more than just his stepsister,’ I said inwardly.“Is Ryan out of his mind?” Jane continued to complain. “Why does she get to be the director? I’ve never heard of her in the design industry before, but Ryan just gave her the positio
Ryan almost agreed instantly and didn't hesitate at all.I wrapped my arms around his neck, curved my lips, and locked gazes with him. "Are you really willing to give me 10% of the company's shares?"His eyes were clear. "I'm giving the shares to you and not some outsider."At that moment, I had to admit that money was really good at proving loyalty.All the emotions that I had suppressed during the morning had finally eased.As if trying to prove something, I asked with a smile, "What about Jessica? Are you willing to give her shares?"He fell silent for a moment and then gave me a definite answer. "No.""Seriously?""Seriously. All I can give her is the director's position."Ryan pulled me into his arms and said in a warm and gentle voice, "I'll get Gary to bring the share transfer agreement in the afternoon. From today onwards, you're one of the Frost Group's shareholders. Everyone else will be working for you.""What about you?" I asked with a smile since I was in a bette
Jessica knew that Ryan was waiting for me.She was the one asking for us to give her a ride, but she still sat in the passenger seat.I really wanted to turn on my heels and leave, but reason told me to stay. I reached out my hand and said to Ryan, "Keys."Ryan remained silent and just placed the keys in my hand.I walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat. I smiled as I looked at the surprised look on Jessica's face. "No problem at all. You're Ryan's sister, so it's normal for you to ask us to give you a lift."After saying so, I looked at Ryan, who was still standing next to the car. "Get in. Grandpa is probably already waiting for us."No one spoke throughout the journey.It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.Jessica wanted to talk to Ryan, but she didn't because she probably felt that it would seem a little awkward if she kept on turning around to talk to Ryan.Ryan had probably sensed my unhappiness, so he opened a bottled drink and passed
Jessica's words made me freeze on the spot.I was completely gobsmacked.I would sometimes have doubts about their relationship, but my thoughts were proven wrong every time.Ryan and Jessica weren't related but they were both members of the Frost family. Technically, they were still brother and sister by name.Besides, both of them were married.I felt that there was no way that a talented man like Ryan would be involved in such an unbelievable thing.However, I was wrong. Not too far away, Ryan pinned Jessica to the wall. His cold and disdainful voice sounded. "You did it for me? You were the one who decided to marry someone else, what right have you got to ask me to do anything?""I..."The two questions rendered Jessica speechless. Tears streamed down her face as she helplessly grabbed the hem of Ryan's clothes."I'm sorry, Ryan. Please forgive me this once. Please! I had no choice back then...""I'm already married.""Can't you get a divorce?"Jessica was quite a stubb
Jordan was worried. "Jane, let's stay for two days before going back. You should rest.""It's fine, I know what I'm doing."Jordan didn't say anything more.After boarding the plane, she wanted to tell Jane about the man she met.However, Jane said she was tired and then fell asleep.So, Jordan could only wait until Jane woke up to talk.At that moment, the man sent her a message."Do you like peanut butter?"The question was a bit abrupt, but since he was the client, and her studio was still in its startup phase, she politely replied, "Sorry, I'm allergic to peanuts."The man didn't reply after that.Jordan didn't pay much attention to it, after all, they weren't very familiar with each other."Ms. Hickey."Jasmine sat down opposite her and, seeing Jane asleep, quietly shared with Jordan."Mr. Howard also wanted to get on the plane, but he was stopped by Mr. Collins.""And then they fought!"Jordan didn't move.First, because she couldn't solve anything even if she wen
"It's to make sure that Jordan doesn't know, to keep their relationship ambiguous, which will stimulate Westley. That way, your cousin will get to know Westley fully."Jane was rendered speechless.Although Westley was a scheming person, Zachary's heart was no better.Jordan was woken up by Jasmine, they were about to land.Jordan turned her head left and right, relieved her neck, opened the sunshade, and could already see tall buildings.She had slept pretty well this time.As Jasmine adjusted her movements and safety measures, she made eye contact with the handsome guy in the front row.Her heart raced, and she grabbed Jordan's hand to steady herself."Ms. Hickey, he's really handsome."Jordan leaned by the window. Without Jasmine's good vantage point, she still noticed the man's gaze.It was directed at her side.She was sensitive because she had often used a camera to capture moments."He just asked me if we looked alike. Did he not say anything else?"Jasmine shook he
Jasmine suddenly stood up.‘Why is Westley here?’Ross also stood up and blocked Westley.Jordan had bought an economy class ticket.A small aisle was now crowded.The flight attendants quickly came to mediate.Westley was in the VIP system, which everyone knew.But no one knew why he was in economy class this time."Mr. Howard, would you like me to handle this?"Westley gave a glance, and then Jax stepped forward to escort the flight attendants away, telling them not to come again.They couldn't intervene in Westley's matters, so they could only calm the other passengers, stopping them from filming to prevent a bad impression of Westley."Mr. Howard!"Jasmine had been quite dissatisfied with Westley recently, but because of his power, as a small assistant, she couldn't do much.But this time, she couldn't hold back."Ms. Hickey has already divorced you, you have no right to interfere in her life! Even if she dates eighty handsome guys, you can't control that!"Jordan wa
"I have never sided with Westley. I have always stood by your side."Jane said, "Not trying anything is the same as supporting."Zachary suddenly remembered Westley's indifference to Jordan's life, watching coldly from the sidelines.It was indeed more hurtful than not caring or not knowing."You have a cousin..."He whispered a few words, "The paternity test on your side has come out, so he's gone to find Jordan.""I think Westley should have a good talk with him."Jane wasn't so optimistic. "If he doesn't even care about my biological sister, how could he be afraid of a cousin?""It's different," Zachary said. "Just wait and see.""But Jordan has already taken a flight back, right?"Jane suddenly noticed a flaw. "Where would the cousin find Jordan?""Anything could happen during such a long flight."Jane checked the time. Eight hours had already passed since Jordan had sent her the boarding message.It was nearly dawn here, while it should still be night where Jordan was
Westley's expression darkened a little. "You go ahead and continue the shoot. I'll leave now."After saying that, he really left.But Jordan didn't feel much relief.In the end, she still expressed her apology and returned to the country with Ross.Jasmine remained silent.The silence made Jordan ask first, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"Jasmine shook her head.She had simply connected the events that had happened recently and the conversation between Jordan and Westley, and a complete picture emerged in her mind.So it turned out that Westley had done even worse things. No wonder Jordan just wanted to stay away from him, not even wanting to see him, even for just a moment."Ms. Hickey, you've worked hard."Jordan was stunned by her sudden hug.Her words were quite amusing."What's making you feel sentimental all of a sudden?"Jasmine didn't want to mention Westley and make Jordan unhappy.She shook her head and said, "Nothing. I was just thinking, I've summari
"I wish I could turn back time, go back, and wake up the version of myself who would like you! I only liked you. Is that such a heinous thing? Why do I have to suffer so much for it? We're already divorced, yet it's still never-ending. Do you have to force me to die before you'll let me go?"Jordan was crying so hard she could barely catch her breath. Westley looked at her with pain in his eyes and raised his hand, wanting to wipe away her tears.But he was suddenly shoved hard by Ross.He wasn't prepared and staggered back several steps.After being steadied by the Jax, he looked over.There was a trace of anger in his expression.But when his gaze fell on Ross, he was clearly taken aback.Ross was actually more anxious than him, frantically pulling out tissues to give to Jordan."Don't cry, Ms. Hickey. If you keep this up, Mrs. Collins will punish me."He didn't want to go to the Arctic anymore."I'll help you leave. Don't cry, it's fine. Mr. Howard won't take you. Don't be
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
