Chapter 1227

Penulis: Lean
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.

    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

    Downstairs, there was not only Nathan but also Frank.They were not entirely sure about the situation.Nathan had managed to infiltrate his people with great difficulty, but as soon as something happened, his first instinct was to rush over and check the situation.He had not yet figured out exactly what had happened.Frank did not know much either.Jordan had been afraid that Jane would worry, so after the incident, she called Charlotte.However, she was crying and could not explain clearly.She just kept repeating one sentence."Charlotte, I killed someone."It was Roy who took over the call and briefly explained the situation before telling them to come over.The three men got into the car.Zachary, who knew the most about what had happened, explained it to the other two.Nathan sneered. "If he's dead, then he's dead. But dragging Jordan down with him is just despicable!"Frank did not express any opinion. He was just there to watch the drama unfold.Zachary could not

    "Ms. Hickey?"Roy grew increasingly worried and pushed the door open without waiting for permission. "Pardon me."He saw Jordan standing there, vigorously scrubbing the back of her hands, and quickly stopped her, pulling her out of the bathroom.Then he went to find the medical kit.Jordan refused. "I'm fine."Roy treated her hands anyway—if Zachary saw them like that, and then Jane found out, he would be in a lot of trouble.Jordan didn’t resist any further. She stood there as if her soul had left her body, completely dazed."Jordy!"Leanne rushed in, the first thing she did was check Jordan's condition."Are you hurt? What happened to your hands? Did my cousin do this? I'm going to find him."Jordan couldn't stop Leanne—she was full of fiery energy, while Jordan's movements were sluggish.Roy tried to comfort her. "Ms. Hickey, this isn't your fault. Please don't take it to heart. Once Mr. Collins arrives and assesses the situation, they'll take you home. You'll be with you

    Carter moved at a steady pace. "Of course, you could also find someone else to perform the surgery on Westley. After all, you all have power and influence, finding a skilled doctor shouldn’t be difficult. You can even find someone from another country. I’m not the only one who can do this surgery."Leanne grew anxious. "Carter, what do you mean? People's lives are at stake. Can’t you save my cousin first? As long as my cousin is fine, I’ll agree to whatever conditions you put forward."Zachary bypassed Carter and walked away.Frank spoke for Zachary. "Since the head of the Howard family has promised you, there’s no need for me to stay with Mr. Collins."Carter followed, walking out without saying a word, but it felt like he had said something.Leanne chased after them and blocked their way."What do you mean? Are you just going to watch my cousin die?"Zachary understood that Carter’s reluctance was related to the matter of Mandy’s reassignment.But that was something he couldn

    "Jane..."Jane looked at her, heart aching. "Don’t worry. I’ll have Zachary take you back. I’ve bought your favorite food.""But Westley...""It has nothing to do with you."How could it not? Jordan wiped her tears. "If he really dies, without any proof, I won’t be able to explain it."This was indeed a problem.If Westley really died, no one would be able to torment Jordan anymore.But Westley’s death couldn’t be tied to Jordan."Don’t worry. Zachary will look into this clearly. It won’t be tied to you. Come back first."Jordan nodded. "Okay.""Jordy!"Leanne saw Jordan nodding and quickly said, "my cousin did hurt you, but it wasn’t a crime that he deserves to die for. Before you two got married, everything he did for you wasn’t fake. My parents and I are sincere with you too. Even if you hate my cousin, you can’t just stand by and watch him die, right? Please, I beg you. Just say something, save him, and I promise I’ll do everything I can to make sure he never bothers you

    "How could you think of me like this?" Jane glared at him. "You sound as if I’ve been terrible to you. I think you’re amazing, capable of handling anything, which is why I rely on you and trust you so much."Zachary’s frown relaxed. "I’ve put a lot of effort in this time, how are you going to reward me?"Charlotte couldn’t take it anymore and hung up the video call."Stop treating me like I’m invisible, both of you."Jane didn’t call back. She knew that help from afar couldn’t solve the immediate problem.She leaned on Charlotte’s shoulder and sighed.Charlotte patted her head. "Don’t keep sighing. We’ve already found a solution to the problem.""I feel so sorry for Jordan.""No one’s life is without difficulties."Jane knew that, but she still didn’t want Jordan to go through such hardship.Charlotte opened her phone to show her something.Jane was surprised. "A pink dolphin?"Charlotte nodded. "Yes, Jordan took it.""Why didn’t she send it to me?""This was sent to me b

    "I don’t have any ideas."Nathan took Jordan onto the plane and gave her a cup of milk.They flew straight back to Impelia, where they went to the hospital for a full body check-up.Although there were no external injuries, he was still not at ease.Jordan had kept refusing, but she couldn't argue with Nathan and went for the check-up.While waiting for her examination, Nathan received a call from Calvin."What happened?""Do you know the consequences of leaving the team without permission?"Nathan of course knew, but he was too worried and was caught up in a mission, so he took the risk."Don’t worry, Grandpa, I know what I’m doing."Calvin's tone was stern. "Nathan, everything you have today was earned with blood. If you aren’t careful and lose it, how will you protect those two cousins?"Nathan responded, "I’ll reflect on my actions. I won’t let the Jackson family face any issues, and I won’t lose everything I have."Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stop Westley from en

    "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
