Chapter 1252

Author: Lean
Jordan held onto Jasmine’s arm. “Ever since I bought this place, I planned for you to live here with me. From the moment you came to Jeswood with me, I see you as my sister.”

Jasmine pressed the elevator button. “Then I won’t stand on ceremony. This way, I can save some money and find a few more handsome guys.”

Nathan had no opinion on this, and neither did Jane, so they decided not to meddle in matchmaking anymore.

Jordan nodded. “Then get eight male models to serve you drinks.”

Jasmine burst out laughing. “You’re so innocent. With eight male models, of course, there should be something more exciting.”

Jordan immediately ended the topic to prevent it from going in the wrong direction.

The red numbers on the elevator kept rising until they reached the top floor.

Jasmine stepped out first and operated the electronic lock. “Come, register your fingerprint.”

Jordan pressed her finger on the scanner, and with a beep, the door unlocked.

Upon entering, there was a small foyer. After

    Jane shook her head. “I’m due. She won’t go back with you. Besides, if we bring it up, she’ll realize we’re worried about her and overthink things. Let’s just leave it as it is.”“But I’m afraid she’ll get sick.”A mental illness was not easy to cure.Nathan suggested, “I originally planned to keep my identity hidden and observe how Zachary and Westley treated you. I wanted to wait until your wedding with Zachary to announce it, just to teach members of the Collins family who look down on you a lesson. Should we just announce it now? This way, Jordan can have something else to focus on and distract herself.”He sighed as if remembering something. “Your mother also suffered from a mental illness. There was no cure.”Jane didn’t know about these things. There was no mention of it in the information Zachary had found out.“Why did our mother fall ill?”Nathan’s expression turned colder. “It was all because of grudges from the previous generation. It’s not the right time to tell you

    Jordan, Jasmine, and Charlotte had just finished lunch with Jane and were about to leave when they received a call—Jane was going into labor.They rushed back to the hospital and saw a crowd gathered in front of the delivery room.“Let go.”Jane was having contractions, her forehead covered in sweat. She gritted her teeth and tried to push Zachary away.Zachary held onto the mobile hospital bed tightly, pushing her toward the delivery room.He grasped the hand she was using to push him away.“You’re in premature labor. I can’t just wait outside. Let me in. If anything happens, I can respond immediately.”Jane looked toward Charlotte, silently pleading for help.Charlotte understood her feelings. When she had given birth, she hadn’t let Frank in either.“I’ll stay with her.”She shot Frank a look, signaling him to pull Zachary away. “I’ll be with her. Can you not be worried now?”“I’m going in myself.” Zachary still remembered how Frank had stood anxiously outside the deliver

    Seeing Jane in so much pain, Zachary turned to the doctor and asked, “Why is she still in so much pain after getting the epidural?”The doctor replied, “It seems Mrs. Collins is resistant to anesthesia...”“What do we do now?”“Mr. Collins, please don’t worry. Labor is a process.”Jane clenched Zachary’s hand tightly, her nails digging deep into his flesh.“Stop talking.”“Alright, alright, I won’t say a word.”Zachary wiped the sweat from her eyes and kissed her forehead gently. “I’ll listen to you.”The doctor said, “Mrs. Collins, I can see the baby’s head. Push one more time.”Jane took a deep breath and pushed with all her strength.A baby’s cry pierced the air. “Wah—”“It’s born!” A nurse quickly took over, handling the baby and placing it in an incubator.Jane finally relaxed and immediately passed out.Zachary panicked. “What’s happening? Doctor!”The doctor, sweating profusely, quickly reassured him, “She’s just exhausted. She’ll be fine after some rest.”Still a

    She had not even had time to stop it when Jasmine, driven by curiosity, asked the question.“Why?”Frank did not take his eyes off Charlotte and replied lazily, “Because I would get jealous. My wife would be liking another man.”Jasmine and Jordan quickly held hands and slipped away.It was so sweet that it was both enviable and overwhelming.Jane woke up in the evening.Zachary immediately called the doctor to check on her.“Don’t worry, Mr. Collins. Mrs. Collins is fine. She just needs proper rest and recovery.”After the doctor left, Jane asked Zachary, “Is it a boy or a girl?”“I don’t know.”Jane grabbed his hand and sat up, looking around the ward but not seeing the baby.“Where is the baby?”Afraid she would panic, Zachary quickly helped her lie back down. “In the incubator. The baby is fine. I’ll have someone bring them over right away so you can see.”The nurse soon brought the baby in.Jane had been excited and was looking forward to such a moment, but as soon a

    Miranda stood to the side, supported by Jonathan, her face pale as she watched people come and go, paying their respects to Westley.Zachary glanced at Westley’s portrait before shifting his gaze to the lavishly crafted coffin.He picked up a lily and casually placed it in front of the coffin with the others.He did not bow. He simply stood silently beside Jonathan.Among those bidding farewell, there were both friends and foes.The allies sighed over Westley’s untimely death.The enemies wanted to take action but abandoned the idea the moment they saw Zachary.Once the ceremony was over, Leanne held the portrait and led the way for Westley’s burial.By the time everything was settled, it was already night.In the end, only Zachary followed them back to the Howard family’s residence.It was then that Carter finally appeared.“I was busy today and couldn’t come earlier. I hope you can understand,” he said to Jonathan and Miranda.Zachary let out a cold chuckle. “And now you’

    Jordan finished her shoot and was about to grab something to eat with Jasmine.The two of them were chatting and laughing as they walked to the door when a male voice called out."Jordy."Jordan's smile froze for a moment. She turned her head and looked over.She was met with a familiar face—gentle, smiling—but it made her feel awkward.Oliver spoke first. "Your studio is doing well."Jordan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Oliver."Oliver nodded. "Since we ran into each other, how about having a meal together?"Jordan didn’t really want to. "Oliver, I’m with a friend. It’s not convenient."Oliver didn’t push. "That’s fine. Actually, seeing that you’re doing well puts me at ease. Westley is dead now. From now on, you’ll have more freedom, Jordy."Jordan was in a little bit of a daze. "Who’s dead?"Before Oliver could answer, Buck appeared in front of her."Ms. Hickey." Buck handed her a file box. "This is the property Mr. Howard arranged for you before. Please take it

    Even though Jordan no longer loved him, she had spent those years with him.Even if she cried, she would have thought it was normal.But now, Jordan seemed as if her soul had been taken away. She just sat there, without sorrow or joy.Not a single tear fell.That, in turn, was even more concerning."Jordan, have a drink?"Jordan didn’t respond.Jasmine went to get two glasses and poured some wine.She also grabbed some chips to fill her stomach a little."Here." She placed the glass into Jordan’s hand.Only then did Jordan react—tilting her head back and downing it in one gulp.The same way of drinking as before.Jasmine couldn’t accompany her like this today. She needed to stay sober in case something happened to Jordan after drinking.She refilled Jordan’s glass.Drinking until she passed out would at least help her sleep and stop her from thinking too much.As they drank, Jasmine gradually moved all the food over."Frankes truly deserves its reputation as the place o

    Jordan nodded slightly, and Jasmine went to fetch her some water.While Jordan drank, Jasmine grabbed a towel to wipe her sweat."Did you have a nightmare?"Jordan nodded again.She hadn’t expected Westley’s death to give her nightmares."I’m fine.""No, you’re not." Jasmine pressed her forehead against Jordan’s. "You have a fever."Jordan touched her own forehead. "It’s probably just the heat. I sweated so much, but I don’t feel uncomfortable."Jasmine handed her some clothes. "We should still go to the hospital.""We’re abroad. Seeing a doctor isn’t convenient. It’s fine—we’ll be back tomorrow."Jordan set down the glass. "I need a shower."Jasmine wasn’t at ease, so she crouched outside the bathroom door.At the same time, she ordered breakfast.Just then, she got a call."Hello, are you Jordan’s assistant?""I am.""Here’s the thing. the finals awards ceremony will be held in Frankes. Please inform Jordan."Jasmine had no idea what competition Jordan had participat

    "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
