Chapter 1221

Author: Lean
Rhianna blinked her beautiful purple eyes and said coquettishly, "Yes, Westley, are you going to increase the bid? If you don't, the jewelry Mrs. Howard wants will belong to me. But it’s a fair competition, don’t get mad, okay?"

Westley curved his lips, a strong and obvious hint of sarcasm in his expression.

"I could give it to you..."

Jordan suddenly looked up, almost thinking she had misheard.

But then she realized, Westley was someone with a deep sense of revenge.

It was likely that he wasn’t increasing the bid out of desire, but to set a trap for Rhianna.

Sure enough, the next words she heard were his cold, indifferent tone.

"400 million and 200 thousand. It’s not that I look down on you. It is possible for you to come up with 200 thousand dollars, but where are you going to get the 400 million from? Will you sell your family’s castle, or pull all the investments out of your business?"

Rhianna wasn’t foolish. She sensed something was wrong and tried to get Westley to raise

    She didn’t dare to move.It was Westley who came over, holding her hand and signing at the bottom of the document."No, no, no!"Jordan quickly shook off Westley’s hand, repeatedly refusing."I don’t want it!"Westley chuckled. "Don’t you like money?""You can stay in this estate if you want, or you can sell it. If you sell it, it should be 20 billion dollars."Jordan’s hand that was holding the pen trembled.Her eyes widened, and she could hardly believe what she had just heard."You, you, you..."Westley forcefully held her hand and signed her name.Buck wisely left the room."What else do you want?"Jordan couldn’t say a word, her whole body frozen in the action of signing.Westley sighed softly and reached out to pat her head."Forget it, no need to say anything."Jordan bit her lip, unable to find her voice.She actually wanted to say that she didn’t need anything else.After all, the estate was enough for her to spend for several lifetimes.But for some reason,

    It was always going to come to this, there had to be a resolution.If Westley didn't keep his word this time and unilaterally tore up the agreement, she would have to take other measures."Can I give my sister a video call?"As soon as she asked, Roy’s phone vibrated.He handed it to Jordan.Jordan took it and pressed the answer button.Jane's face appeared on the screen."Jane.""What's wrong? Did something happen to you?"Jane moved closer to the screen. "Why are your eyes so red?"Jordan was worked up and shocked.She cried very easily."I just went to the auction..." She explained everything again. "I wasn't hurt in any way. It’s just about that estate..."Jane asked her, "So, you think he never hurt you before?"Jordan used to think Westley had stepped over the line before, but after this period of time, she felt that Westley hadn’t actually done anything wrong.He didn’t love her, and he was forced to marry her—why would he show her any kindness?If he had been ni

    Later, he didn’t know why Westley was so determined to be with Jordan.Even now, he still didn’t understand.He had long known that Jordan’s mother’s heirloom would be auctioned, and he had put in a great deal of effort to prepare for it in advance.Before Nathan appeared, they had already known about Jordan’s background.Knowing that she and Jane were biological sisters, they began investigating.Zachary intervened to mislead the information, trying to prevent them from finding out.They simply went along with it, pretending they couldn't find anything.Westley’s attitude toward Nathan was the same—he knew he had made a mistake, and even being polite wouldn’t help anymore.This time, because of the heirloom, he had offended the entire country.The heirloom had never been put up for auction before, great effort had been made to orchestrate things so Jordan would receive them.Back then, Leanne had been waiting at the door every day for Westley, trying to solve the obstacles s

    "How lucky? If I catch one, will you stop pestering me for good?"Westley replied calmly, "You can try."Jordan didn’t know how to fish. When she cast the line, it got tangled.After struggling to get the hook in the water, she suddenly heard Westley chuckle beside her.It was a mocking laugh.It was only then that she realized—she hadn’t put any bait on the hook."You did that on purpose!" Jordan couldn’t hold back. "You knew I didn’t know how, so you set me up with this trick!"Westley neither confirmed nor denied it.Frustrated, Jordan reeled the hook back, properly put on some bait, and lowered it into the water again.Westley pulled a chair over and placed it behind her. "Have a seat. Take your time. There’s no rush."Jordan shot him a glare.Westley didn’t mind and walked away to make a phone call.Jordan sat there, waiting all the way until noon, as the sun rose high in the sky.She never even saw a rainbow fish.She was convinced Westley was messing with her."Ti

    Before Jordan could react, Westley said, "Hurry, take a picture."She looked toward the water. Gentle ripples spread outward, shimmering under the light. Overjoyed, she quickly adjusted her camera and began shooting.Under the blue sky and white clouds, a pink dolphin swam playfully in the golden sunlight.This area was completely quiet—just the two of them.She could even hear the dolphin’s ethereal calls, soothing and pure.Just moments ago, she had been upset with Westley, but now, all of that frustration faded away.Her lips curved into a smile as the camera shutter clicked repeatedly—she didn’t want to miss a single frame.Pink dolphins were incredibly rare.Back when they had tried to photograph rainbow fish, they had also hoped to capture pink dolphins.But Oliver had almost died, and they had to abandon the shoot.Afterward, life had been too busy, and she never had another chance to come back.This time, though she had been brought here against her will by Westley,

    Westley thought back to the times before their marriage.From the moment Jordan came to the Howard family, he was the one who brought her milk every night.He took care of her meticulously in every aspect of her life—planting pear trees, picking pears, standing up for her.He even accompanied her in the childish games of playing house, which he used to disdain.He thought that Jordan had fallen for him because of these things.But these were things that anyone could have done.If someone else had become her older brother, they could have done the same.So he believed that Jordan was too young to truly understand what love meant.Yet, he never expected that she truly understood her feelings—that her love for him was not because of his care, not because he was her "brother."It was because she saw him as a man.And because of that, she now hated him to the extreme.Because she had once loved him to the extreme."Jordy, if I let you tie me up this time, can it erase my mistake

    Her first reaction wasn’t to refute him—it was panic.It felt as if a long-hidden secret had suddenly been exposed to the world.Her mind went blank.She stood frozen in place, locking eyes with Westley.One was completely dumbfounded, the other smiling.The former couldn’t say a word for a long time, while the latter waited patiently.Time ticked by.Slow and sticky, as if drenched in glue.During that time, Jordan thought about many things.Yet she couldn’t grasp a single clear image—everything was a blur.The only thing she was certain of was that she shoved Westley away and shouted, "Nonsense!""Why are you so anxious?" Westley remained unhurried. "I was just asking."Jordan opened the door, signaling for him to get out.Westley crossed his arms, cocked his brows, and chuckled. "But this seems to be my room?"Jordan almost choked in frustration. She hurriedly fled from this suffocating space.But she had barely taken two steps when the man grabbed her and pulled her

    "Don't worry, no one will call the police to arrest you, and no one will make things difficult for you. If you have someone you like, you can also—"Jordan shouted loudly, cutting off his words, "Buck! Get in here! If you don’t come in now, your boss is really going to die!"Buck had been standing guard outside the door ever since Westley brought Jordan into the room.He knew what Westley planned to do tonight, and his heart had been on edge the whole time.Hearing Jordan scream until her voice broke, he could only imagine how tragic the scene inside must be.But Westley had given strict orders—they were not allowed to enter.Buck paced anxiously in place.Jordan, not hearing Buck and the others come in, was so furious that her face twisted with rage.The tip of the knife had already fully pierced in, and her hands were stained with Westley’s warm blood.The tall man’s body was slowly collapsing..."Westley, I don’t care what happens to you after you die. I will just wait her

    "You claimed to be fair, only trusted your own investigation results, not just believing hearsay, didn't you?"What he said was actually in line with what she had hoped for.It was also a beautiful wish of hers.But in this world, many things were not absolutely fair.Her job was to serve the people and provide justice to the best of her ability.However, she would never trust what anyone else said, she needed to look into things herself, and only after solid evidence would she act.Whitney could tell that he wasn't complimenting her, but mocking her, which made her feel somewhat ashamed."As for your situation, I've been biased from the start."Mainly because, she didn't plan on getting involved with Caleb.She didn't need to stand up for him.She had no interest in what kind of person Caleb was.So, she never thought that those rumors about him would become the trigger for him being angry with her."Sorry."Caleb seemed to have realized what she was thinking earlier.He

    "I think this is a good start," she told Charlotte.They were together, and Charlotte sat close to her, looking at her phone."It’s a good thing that she’s being sincere to us, but the most important thing is that you need to trade sincerity with Caleb."Jane pondered for a moment. "Then how should I reply?""Let her ask Caleb directly."Jane nodded. "I still don't really understand why he's like this, you should just ask him directly, communication between the two of you is still important."Whitney stared at the reply for a long time, then looked at Caleb.It seemed like he was really asleep, there was no movement from him.She wondered if it was not good to wake him up?Maybe she should wait until he woke up?Caleb hadn't actually fallen asleep, there was a pressure building in his chest, how could he sleep?He wasn’t really a generous person.So he saw Whitney holding her phone and looking at him.In the end, he compromised.She didn't even know why he was mad at her.

    He took out a small cushion and placed it on the table, then told her, "Put your hand here."Whitney did as instructed.Tanner began to check her pulse, her expression slightly solemn."Your health is so poor?"Tanner opened a cabinet, took out two small bottles, one green and one milky white."The green one, take two pills every day, after breakfast and dinner. The milky white one, take three times a day, before meals.""After finishing them, come back for a check-up."She took out her phone. "Add me on WhatsApp."Whitney quickly took out her phone and added Tanner on WhatsApp."If you feel uncomfortable, just send me a message, I'll reply."Whitney obediently nodded.Tanner smiled. "You're really cute."Caleb crossed his arms, smiling in a half-amused way. "I really suspect you like women."Tanner remained indifferent, firing back, "If I liked women, would your wife be willing to give me a chance?""Dream on." Caleb grabbed Whitney and they left.It was said that Tanne

    He didn't let her say a word, but when he exhausted her to the point of collapse, he made her call him "honey."She stayed silent, and he tormented her.In the end, she had no choice but to reluctantly utter the words."H-honey..."Westley was satisfied, knowing there would be plenty of chances in the future for her to call him that.Whitney went to the hotel, changed out of her dress, removed her makeup, and washed up. She then changed into more comfortable clothes and started packing her luggage.But she was stopped by Caleb."We’re not heading back yet.""What?"Caleb grabbed her arm, pulling her up, and they directly headed out.Whitney figured he had plans and didn't ask further.Once they were in the car, Caleb explained, "Tanner is in Nelana. She's not easy to approach. After you've seen her, we'll head back."Whitney didn't say anything, mainly because she didn't have much say in the matter.She could focus on recovering her health.After all, she needed to be hea

    "What are you doing?"Jordan was both angry and anxious, her face completely red.Westley smiled. "What do you think?""Stop messing around! We still need to go toast the guests.""Exactly." The man pinched the satin ribbon behind her back. "How can you wear the toasting dress if you don't take off the wedding dress?"The wedding dress was too heavy, and with him pressing on her, Jordan couldn't break free."You want to do it yourself, but you can’t."In the end, Jordan was stripped down to just her undergarments and was forcibly changed into the toasting dress.Seizing the right moment, she immediately broke free from Westley and opened the door, about to run out.Westley quickly grabbed her and carried her back. "Your makeup is ruined."‘Whose fault is it that my makeup is ruined?’Jordan stomped hard on his foot. "You’re so annoying!""Already annoyed right after the wedding?" Westley sat her down on the edge of the bed, opened the makeup bag, and took out a lipstick. "I

    Westley had someone distribute the wedding sweets. He carried Jordan into the hotel and delivered her to the bridal rest room.Jane and the others had already been waiting."So, what's up, Westley? As your sister-in-law, I took your big envelope, and I didn't make things difficult for you, did I?"What could Westley say? "Thank you, Jane.""Jordy's wedding shoes?"Jane and Charlotte each handed him one of the shoes.Westley crouched down and carefully put them on Jordan."I'm going to be busy up front, I'll wait for you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."After Westley left, Jane and Charlotte helped her change into the wedding dress.Whitney also helped.Caleb brought her to the wedding venue, and while they were waiting in the rest room, Jane explained to her.The reason they arrived here first was that everything had been arranged in advance, and it was intentionally done this way.She actually found it quite interesting."Whit." Jane patted her shoulder. "This is a good way to

    Even the foundation couldn't hide the pink flush spreading on her cheeks.Jordan knew she was rather introverted, and without Jane and Charlotte there to back her up, this felt like hell to her."Westley!""Yes!"Jordan was amused by him and forgot what she was about to say.Westley stepped forward, kneeling on one knee, preparing to go through the motions.Whitney quickly tried to stop him, but was pulled away by Caleb."This won't do..." She struggled, but couldn't fight against the man's strength.Only Jordan and Westley were left in the bedroom.The man kneeled beside the bed and handed her the bouquet. "Dear Mrs. Howard, please come home with me."Jordan took the bouquet, revealing her small feet from under the large skirt."I don't have shoes on."Westley asked, "How can I find your shoes?""You're asking me?""Yes.""Well, I can't tell you."Westley knew it wasn't going to be that easy.Even if Jane and Charlotte were kept busy, with their family status, how cou

    "They're here, they're here," Charlotte called out, urging Whitney to quickly close the bedroom door.Whitney said, "Jane hasn't come in yet.""If she's slower than Westley, it means she's caught up in something," replied Charlotte."But isn’t Zachary afraid of angering Jane by helping Westley like this?"Charlotte smiled. "This is a wedding. Blocking the door is just for fun. We won’t really make it hard for the groom to take the bride away."Whitney only then realized what they were doing. "Sorry.""It's fine, you've never had a wedding, so it's normal," Charlotte reassured her."So, what should I do now?"Charlotte said, "Just cooperate with me.""Don't be too formal, it's not a big deal."At that moment, Westley knocked on the door. "What does Mrs. Smith want? Feel free to name your price."Charlotte laughed. "Mr. Howard always reads people well and is full of schemes. Why don't you try guessing?"Frank had already come over, but he looked lazy and still had no energy.

    Westley seemed not to hear Zachary's words and asked him if his clothes were alright and whether his tie was crooked.Zachary couldn't be bothered to respond.Frank didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.At that moment, Caleb stepped forward and adjusted Westley's tie and collar, smiling faintly.Westley understood. "Carter will come to the wedding. I'm certain of it."Caleb then asked, "With the relationship between Mr. Greyson and Mr. Howard, why isn't he coming as a groomsman?""He doesn't get along well with my wife.""Because of Mandy?"Westley nodded. "Mandy and my wife were good friends during their teenage years."Actually, Jordan wasn't someone who held grudges, but he couldn't let anything go wrong at the wedding.Originally, it didn't matter whether Carter came or not.If it weren't for Caleb, he wouldn't have insisted on having Carter attend.Caleb understood.The sky gradually brightened.Whitney stood at the door, waiting for news from Jane.Suddenly, some
