Chapter 1169

Penulis: Lean
Zachary had always preferred to have a daughter—what use was a troublesome son? It would cost him so much, all of it going into Frank's pockets, and he hadn't even collected rent from his wife. It was all a loss!

But he still left because Ross reported what had happened on the plane, and Nathan Jackson had come looking for Jordan. He guessed Jordan would want to talk to Jane about it, so he decided not to interfere. The arrangements at the hospital had already been made, a specialist would take her through the checkup.

Ross was a bit annoying, but he was still useful.

"Jane..."

Jordan waited until Zachary was out of earshot before whispering to Jane about what happened on the plane.

"It's a pity... it would have been rude to take a photo, but if you saw him, you'd definitely be surprised."

Jasmine suddenly stretched her phone out. "I took a picture."

When meeting a handsome guy, taking a photo was basic, right?

Jordan realized for the first time that Jasmine's obsession with go

    Nathan looked over, his previously gentle expression towards Jordan had disappeared, replaced by a sharp coldness.His fox-like eyes, once full of tenderness, had turned ice-cold.In his dark cold eyes looked like a bottomless abyss.Before he could speak, Jordan pushed Westley away and stood in front of him, protecting him."You can't talk things out, can you? You just jump to violence?"Westley pursed his lips as his face turned dark. "He's the one attacking you."Jordan felt a sense of closeness to Nathan.She had always received goodwill from him.Under such circumstances, how could she let him suffer undeserved harm because of her?"My business is none of your concern."She glared at Westley. "I have nothing to do with you. Even if he kills me, it's none of your business!""I won't," said Nathan, his gaze softening when it landed on Jordan's head."Don't worry."When he said "don't worry," Jordan genuinely felt reassured. She trusted that he wouldn't hurt her.There

    He couldn't hold it in anymore."Although I'm her ex-husband, although we are divorced, she grew up in my family, so we still have a sibling relationship.""No," Jordan immediately denied. "I have no relationship with you.""The marriage automatically erased the sibling bond, and the divorce dissolved the spousal relationship. Now, we are strangers!"Westley struggled to suppress his anger, the veins on the back of his hand throbbing violently.Finally, unable to control his rage any longer, he grabbed her chin and kissed her forcefully.Nathan's gaze sharpened, and he stepped forward, grabbing Westley's wrist and twisting it sharply.At the same time, his other hand flipped, pulling Jordan to his side.He then lifted his leg and kicked Westley.The movements flowed seamlessly.Westley stepped back and sneered. "Such skills. You’re from a military family/ Your intentions towards my wife aren't simple.""I'm not your wife!" Jordan was so angry that tears started to fall.Thi

    So, when Westley had approached Jordan earlier, there had been no action from him. But now, when Westley tried to follow, he stepped forward to block him.Westley was also losing patience with Ross.He couldn't understand why Zachary had allowed such a fool to be by his side."Didn't you see? He's holding Mrs. Collins’ hand."Ross remained silent and just kept chewing the snacks.Westley couldn't explain it to him, nor did he intend to waste time. He gave a slight motion to Jax, signaling him to block Ross.As Jax moved to block Ross, Westley quickly followed after Jordan.Jordan, Jane, and Nathan made their way to the VIP ward.This room had been reserved by Zachary for Jane to use. When there were many procedures to undergo and a long waiting time, she could rest here."I've called the doctor," Jasmine said enthusiastically.Jane felt that Jasmine was quite a good girl and wouldn't mind if she became part of their family in the future."Thank you for you’ve done," said Jan

    He not only offended his cousin-in-law, but given what he had previously done to Jordan, the level of disgust she felt toward him, he feared it would be difficult for him to even see her once.He struggled internally for a long time but still wasn't willing to believe in that possibility.But if it were true...Zachary's reaction was too strange.When Jane was so close to another man, how could Zachary not care?Realizing this, Westley broke out in a cold sweat on his back."What are you standing there for?" Nathan asked again. "Do you want me to help you arrest him?""No, no, no..." The older officer quickly stepped forward, his tone humble. "Mr. Howard, please come with us."Nathan's voice grew colder. "He has committed a crime, it's certain, and there's surveillance to prove it. What you should be doing now is to take him away directly, without discussing it with him."The older officer began to sweat, and in the end, had no choice but to push ahead and forcibly take Westle

    "Westley, if you had said even just one truthful thing to me, I wouldn't hate you so much."Westley responded, "You wanted a divorce, didn't I divorce you?"Jordan choked for a moment. "Do you even know what divorce means?"Westley fiddled with the handcuffs and let out a short snort."Is my ex-wife no longer my wife?"Fallacious reasoning, ridiculous logic!Jordan said angrily, "Divorce means the termination of the marital relationship, so I'm not your wife! Don't keep saying things that can be misunderstood, like there's something between us."Westley didn't want to continue this conversation.He was determined to have her, no matter what.Originally, he had planned to approach her differently, but since she despised him so much...Forget it, he would proceed according to his own pace, even if in the end she wished he were dead, he would still keep her by his side."Jordan, when I come back from the police station, we'll talk again."After speaking, he stood up and left w

    But he was secretly helping her.He planned to observe for a while longer.Unexpectedly, Zachary was clever enough to already know his identity."Since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony."Both were intelligent people, and some things didn't need to be said out loud.Zachary lowered his head and said to Jane, "I'll make a phone call."Jane responded, "Go ahead."The room fell silent again.Jane started the conversation. "I don't know how old Mr. Jackson is, or if you're married?"Nathan replied truthfully, "Not yet. There have always been many things on my plate, so I haven't had the time to think about it."Jane had looked through the information Zachary had found.The Jackson family had suffered a great blow, and it was because of that blow that she was abducted.Later, more problems occurred, and Jordan was sent away.Nathan had lost his parents at that time.Despite all that, he didn't give up. He worked hard, took on the responsibility of the Jackson family,

    Buck served Westley the longest.Jax and Silas were always out, keeping an eye on other matters.Because Buck was assigned to go with Jordan, Jax was transferred to Westley's side.However, Buck had some understanding of the situation between Westley and Jordan.He had not hidden anything that had happened recently and had shared everything with Buck."I think it's hard to go back. Even if they force themselves to be together, their later years will be filled with scars."After hearing this, Buck felt like his head was about to explode.He hadn't expected that after spending time in the small room, there would be something even bigger than locking up Jordan.If the man Jordan met was truly her cousin...Then their boss's task of winning her over would be like playing a game in veteran mode."Why didn't you stop him?" asked Buck.Jax sighed. "I wanted to."But after all, Westley was the master, and they, as soldiers, could only obey orders.Buck didn't want to think too muc

    Zachary had a faint smile on his lips. "I've quit. I have a wife and kid now."Nathan exhaled a puff of smoke, his face somewhat obscured but also showing a bit of coldness."Knowing my identity beforehand, your performance wasn't great.""If Westley knew I was Jordan's cousin, he wouldn't have acted so recklessly."Zachary responded indifferently, "Everyone has their own abilities."Nathan extinguished his cigarette and patted Zachary's shoulder twice.The two of them returned to the private room.They had one last drink before the meal ended.Zachary had arranged for a hotel.Jane had originally planned for Jordan to go home, but since she was heading to Impelia early the next morning, she decided to stay at the hotel."Remember to send me a message.""Okay," Jordan obediently agreed and watched Jane leave.She then entered the hotel.After parting ways with Nathan on the first floor, she swiped her access card and entered her room.After turning on the lights, she aske

    Jordan hadn't decided yet. "Do you have any particular places you'd like to visit?"Jane said, "Then let's go shopping."She turned to Charlotte. "Can you walk?""I’m fine. If we get tired, we can find a place to sit and rest."Jane then looked at Whitney and asked if she wanted to go.Whitney nodded.The four girls made a quick decision and set off.Ross was eating an apple when he saw them coming out together. He immediately asked, "Mrs. Collins, where are you going? Do you need me to give you a lift?"Jane looked at the car behind him and noticed there were no other cars."Take us to the biggest shopping center.""Okay."The MPV was large, and with just Ross as the driver, it was more than enough for the four of them to sit comfortably."Ma’am, there are yogurts and snacks next to you, all your favorites."Jane glanced at it and said, "Remember to tell Zachary that it’s too late to apologize after making a mistake."Ross would only repeat the exact words to Zachary, an

    Ross agreed and turned to leave.Jane kicked the door open with her foot, then stepped onto the balcony, and Whitney quickly came to help.After setting the breakfast down, she noticed something was wrong.Jane and Charlotte exchanged a glance.Jane asked in confusion, "Why are there things in here that neither Charlotte nor I like to eat?""It seems that Zachary and Frank were a bit careless."Whitney quickly said, "I can eat what you don't like."She wasn't picky about food, it was just that she used to not have enough to eat, so she had always eaten less and stayed thin.Jane hadn't heard Ross mention that Caleb had come.She said, "Don't you think Caleb specifically bought this for you?"Whitney was puzzled.Charlotte pointed and said, "The things we like to eat were all prepared by Frank and Zachary. They wouldn't purposely prepare things we don't eat. So, what do you think the extra food is for?"Whitney was momentarily stunned.She thought it was because Jane had or

    Whitney washed up and went straight to bed.She didn't have the habit of playing on her phone before bed.Before coming to Nelana, all her work had been handed over.If something urgent came up, someone would call her.So she didn't check her phone, and thus missed Caleb's message.Caleb was on the hotel balcony, with his phone placed on the small coffee table.He held a glass of wine, swaying it absentmindedly.His gaze, however, remained fixed on the phone.But even when it got to dawn, there was no reply from Whitney.The man curved his lips slightly and lit a cigarette.He leaned against the balcony railing, waiting for the sun to rise.Whitney woke up in the morning, went to wash up, and after she finished, took a book from her luggage and went to sit on the swing on the balcony to read.As she passed the kitchen, she made herself a cup of coffee.She didn't like to move much, most of her time was spent on improving herself.She tried to learn as much as possible.S

    Westley didn't say anything either.Zachary and Frank were a team, he was no match for them in an argument.His relationship with Caleb wasn't that close, so it was impossible for the latter to help him."They're having barbecue for lunch," said Frank, locking his phone. "They just ordered the ingredients."Jordan found two power strips and moved the pot to the balcony."Good thing we have these, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to eat.""Why do you have so many pots left in this house?" asked Whitney."I lived here for a while before," Jordan placed the plates and cutlery down. "I also feel like leaving these things here makes it seem like Grandpa is still around."Whitney apologized.Jordan smiled and reassured her, "It's fine. No need to apologize. From now on, we're good friends."Whitney nodded and smiled in agreement, "Alright.""By the way, Jordan.""What's up, Jane?"Jane said, "Both Zachary and Frank have booked hotels, so they don’t to stay here.

    Jordan and Whitney chatted casually.Most of the time, it was Jordan doing the talking while Whitney listened.After covering enough about the wedding, they talked about Jordan's work over the past few years.She also mentioned the tangled feelings and past with Westley.When she got to that part, she grew a little curious. "Whitney, before you married Caleb, did you ever like anyone?"Whitney shook her head."What about a secret crush?""Not even that."Whitney rarely talked to others about her past.Zachary only knew because he had looked into her and thought she was perfectly suited to be a pawn.And she had needed to become that pawn—to completely sever ties with her past, achieve her goals, and fulfill her ambitions."I was too busy studying and working to think about anything else."Jordan sensed she didn't want to go further, so she didn't press.Just then, Jane called, saying she and Charlotte would arrive soon and join them for lunch.She relayed the message to W

    "We had a meal together before, and I noticed you always seemed to like sweet dishes, so I tried buying some. I was worried it might not suit your taste.""It does, it does." Jordan took a bite of the pudding. "It's delicious. But did you buy anything you like to eat?"Whitney said, "I already had breakfast. I can't eat anymore."Jordan offered a suggestion, "Why not try a bite of this sponge cake? It's a specialty here in Nelana."Whitney really couldn't eat any more. She had a small appetite, a condition built up over the years.If she ate a full meal, she couldn't eat snacks afterward. And if she ate snacks, she would lose her appetite for meals.She had a small stomach.But seeing Jordan looking at her so expectantly, she still picked up a piece of sponge cake and took a bite."It's very good."Jordan smiled and took a big bite of the sponge cake herself."Whitney, you're so good at picking food! This is great!"The old house was a bit remote, but it had a rooftop terrac

    Jordan said Whitney would be coming over later.Westley hadn't expected that the first one to get out of bed would actually be Whitney."Just the two of you?" he asked."For now, yes."Jordan glanced at her phone. In the group chat, it was just her and Whitney talking—no response yet from Jane or Charlotte.She more or less knew why Jane hadn't responded, but Charlotte too?Still, it didn't really matter. There weren't any specific plans for today anyway.She hadn't known Whitney was coming, so it was a nice surprise."Maybe my sister will text me around noon. We can decide what to do then.""You." She pointed at Westley. "You are not allowed to show up in front of me again after breakfast."Westley nodded. "Got it."After buying food, Whitney told Caleb, "I'm going to find Jordan. You can go handle your stuff. I'll be staying at her place until the wedding."Caleb leaned against the elevator wall, his voice low and lazy. "You're telling me what to do?"Whitney wasn't in a

    She replied with an emoji, then looked for her girls in the group chat to ask them out for food.Their group chat had a new member now—Whitney.And it was Whitney who replied to her."I'm already eating at the hotel. Do you want to come over, or should I bring something to you later?"Whitney had actually had a good night's sleep.Though it was a bit later than her usual habit, she still managed to get up for breakfast.Before, it was always Caleb who brought breakfast to the bedside and fed her, because she simply couldn't get out of bed.Jordan figured she was probably having breakfast with Caleb and decided not to bother her."No need, I'll just eat something nearby. Your hotel isn't close to me."Whitney replied. "I'm heading over later anyway, but I'll probably be a bit late. If you're hungry, go ahead and eat something first. I'll bring you something else."Jordan. "Thanks."Whitney. "No problem."Caleb noticed her holding her phone, her expression much softer, even t

    Caleb was thinking that in the future, he could let her drink a little more.Of course, only when he was around.She looked kind of cute like this."I did say that, but didn't you just say you wanted to thank me?"Whitney felt that alcohol really wasn't a good thing.Even when hanging out with Jane and the others, she decided not to drink too much anymore.The rationality and logic that she was so proud of had completely vanished.She had never been as calm in front of Caleb as she was with others.Besides, there was a power imbalance between her and him.If she were sober, she wouldn't have been able to reject him anyway.Let alone now, when her mind was muddled.But maybe because she was muddled, she dared to say things that she didn’t usually dare to say."I just lost my balance earlier, and you helped me. Even if you don't accept verbal gratitude, that doesn't mean I owe you something this big."Caleb saw she could barely stand, so he held her by the waist to keep her
