I furrowed my brows, grasping the main point and pressing on. "For me? Is this injury of his because of something related to me?"Gary scratched his head. "Well..."I racked my brain but couldn't recall anything recent that could have caused trouble for Ryan. We had hardly interacted these days.Seeing Gary hesitating, I decided to cut to the chase. "If you won't tell me, I'll just ask him directly.""Don't..." Gary gave in frustratedly. "It's about the unfinished building incident on the outskirts of the city. Remember?""I remember." How could I forget being kidnapped for the first time in my life? But wasn't that resolved?Gary sounded exasperated as he continued, "It was Zack Johnson, that bald guy. He pressured us to give him the land in the west of the city. Later, realizing he couldn't handle it, he came back to beg Mr. Frost, but insisted on taking 80% of the profits, which Mr. Frost didn't agree to.""And then?""The night before last, he got desperate and tried to for

"Ouch."This trick was exactly the same as last time.I pointed at his right hand. "You just used that hand to pull me earlier, with quite some strength.""Doing that earlier made my arm ache." He smoothly picked up where I left off.I stuffed a piece of dragon fruit into his mouth. "Alright, eat up, eat more."Later in the evening, Gary brought in a stack of documents.They were all documents waiting from the company. As long as Ryan was still alive, we had to find a way to handle them.His right hand was indeed injured, unable to be used frequently. So, I helped him flip through the documents and he signed them at the end.For a moment, it felt like we had returned to the days of mutual respect."Charlotte, there's an issue with this return rate..." Ryan turned his head as I leaned forward to pass over a new document.His slightly cool lips unexpectedly landed on my face.We both froze!Although we had many intimate moments before, things were different now...Ryan's eye

A few days ago, Simone asked me if I was suitable.At that time, nothing had happened yet, so I didn't have any thoughts about it.But when Bethany suddenly accused me to my face, blaming me for holding him back, I actually hesitated.After all, Ryan had been injured repeatedly recently, all because of me.In that instant when I heard the question, I wondered if everything would be different if he married Bethany.The Shaw family was prominent, and Bethany wouldn't just cause trouble for Ryan. She could even assist in many ways.Their union might add up to a number I couldn't imagine.But for Ryan and me, it seemed like 1 + 1 = 0.5.The excruciating pain in my lower back from banging into the corner of the cabinet became insignificant.Looking at Bethany's resolute appearance, for the first time, I couldn't come up with a rebuttal.Because of my humble family background, I was indeed holding Ryan back, indeed causing his misery.Causing him to be in the operating room for tw

As the words fell, his fingertip lightly traced the palm of my hand, like a feather scratching, sending a tingling sensation that flowed through my entire body like electricity.Bethany's face stiffened for a moment. "You can divorce even after marriage. You originally planned to divorce, right?"Ryan frowned. "Can't you see it?""What?""I don't want to divorce."His expression seemed casual yet serious at the same time. "And I'm actively pursuing my wife."I stared at him in bewilderment, unsure if he was speaking sincerely or just using it as a reason, an excuse to reject Bethany.Bethany gritted her teeth inwardly, a hint of unwillingness flickering on her face, but quickly, she smiled confidently."Ryan, maybe we haven't known each other for long enough. You don't know how rebellious I am, pampered by my parents. I've never experienced not getting what I want. The more devoted you are, the more I want to become Mrs. Frost and see how happy I can be!"She was so different

I couldn't deny that these words were quite touching.Touching enough that for a moment, I almost wanted to forget all the past grievances, yet I still found it difficult to let go.Some things have long been etched deep in my heart, leaving a profound rift.It's like how, in the past, even if he stayed out all night, I would never suspect anything, only empathize with his sacrifices for the Frost family. But now, with everything that has happened, I can't trust anymore, nor can I love without reservations, consequences be damned.I would start to hold back, be guarded, suspicious, sensitive, and restless.Even if we reconciled, if things continued like this for long, they would eventually break apart. So, it was better to cut losses now."Ryan, let's stop talking about this. Let's both be rational.""I know you don't believe me, but I will do it." Ryan's tone was as solemn as making a vow.I lowered my gaze slightly and handed another document to him, changing the subject. "Yo

As I diligently wiped his body without distraction, suddenly, he let out an extremely soft bark."Woof!""Huh?"My movements paused slightly as I looked at him inexplicably.His eyes softened, his voice clear and sincere, he said, "I’m beginning to have other thoughts about you, so I’m barking like a dog."Just as I was about to say something, my gaze lowered, and I saw a certain area was ready to go.In an instant, my cheeks flushed with heat. I threw the towel aside. "Do it yourself!"‘Pervert.’Even with injuries like this, he still had energy for such things.Although Ryan's injuries were severe, the doctors at the St. Heart Hospital were indeed as renowned as rumored, and coupled with the attentive care in the VIP ward, less than a week later, they said he could be discharged.The doctor even exclaimed, "Mrs. Frost, Mr. Frost's quick recovery is all thanks to your personal care. You two are truly exemplary spouses! No wonder there are rumors online that Mr. Frost is a do

After hanging up the phone, Jane kept glancing at me sneakily.I was puzzled. "Why are you looking at me like that?""Do you think the investor Lynsey is introducing to us might be your ex-husband?""No way." I shook my head, but then I hesitated a bit. "Ryan just got out of the hospital, and I haven't heard him or Gary mention this recently.""Then who could it be?" Jane became puzzled.I couldn't guess either, so I said, "Well, since we have a dinner appointment, let's go and see. Jelaston is a small place. If it's someone we know, they can't keep their identity a secret.""Good point," Jane agreed.Later in the evening, after changing into a different outfit, I grabbed a beige wool coat and went with Jane to the dinner appointment.The restaurant was booked by Jane. Having worked in the marketing department for many years, she knew her way around social engagements.Upon arrival, the waiter led us to a private room.The private room faced the river and offered a view of th

He was very polite, upon seeing the three of us had arrived, he slightly bowed. "Sorry, it's been a long time since I came back. I underestimated the evening rush hour in Jelaston.""No problem, it's great that you could make it!"Lynsey stood up and introduced him to Jane and me, "This is Mr. Ian Brown, the CEO of RF Group."I had thought that someone in such a high position would be a bit aloof, but unexpectedly, he was very approachable. He even took the initiative to refill our glasses.Both Jane and I were somewhat bewildered. He put down the decanter, got back to the point, and said, "There's no problem with the investment, but the RF Group must have a significant stake. Are you both prepared for this?""Yes." I nodded.I had looked into some investment cases before, and in the end, the founders often didn't retain much ownership.But since I didn't have the capital myself, this was how it had to be.Jane was good at negotiation and smiled, "Mr. Brown, we're all from Jela

"I want to explain."Westley embraced her, lowering his head to whisper, as though they were deeply in love."I won’t repeat the same mistakes again as before, and I won’t make the same mistake multiple times."Jordan shrank her neck, trying to avoid him.His warm breath brushed against her ear, it was ticklish.But she couldn’t break free from him, so she could only try to move away as much as possible."Let go of me first."Westley lowered his head and kissed her ear."Since you’re here, let’s finish what we started."Jordan was unwilling. "You handle your own problems, don’t drag me into your competition with other women."Westley stared at her for a moment, not loosening his arm but pulling her closer."She already holds a grudge against you. It’s safer for you to stay by my side. Oh, by the way, just so you know, she’s a princess."Jordan slapped the cream cake in her hand right onto his face.She couldn’t hide her emotions, anger clearly written on her face.She wan

Jordan finally finished planting all the saplings and now all she had to do was wait for them to bloom.But she probably wouldn’t be able to see the flowers. She hoped the pear trees would grow wildly here."Mrs. Howard." Buck brought her a dress. "Mr. Howard said that there is a party tonight and would like to request your company."Jordan refused without hesitation.Buck added, "There’s also an auction, with many fun and interesting items. Don’t you want to buy gifts for your sister and little nephew?"Mentioning her sister and nephew made Jordan waver.Jane liked interesting things, and Jordan couldn’t easily go out on her own to gather them.And now, she had the opportunity.But she didn’t want to attend the event with Westley."Mrs. Howard, if I were you, I would go."Jordan ignored him. He was on Westley’s side.Buck’s mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "When Mr. Howard broke your heart, you should have asked for more money from him, to get revenge and s

Carter had hit a wall at every turn.He had also been poked at his sore spot, and his long-established cold and distant persona was on the verge of crumbling."Forget about Zachary and the others, after all, they’re not very close. But how long have I known you? You won't help? I even helped you persuade Jordan."Westley didn’t fall for it. "As for you and Mandy, no one can help. I can’t bring her to Nelana now. You can try convincing Zachary, maybe there’s still a chance."Wasn’t that just stating the obvious?Carter said, "If I could get Zachary's help, would I be telling you all this?"Westley replied, "That’s your problem. Who told you to force her? Back then, she was just a young girl, barely an adult. It’s normal for her to be afraid of you and find you disgusting."A flash of sadness appeared in Carter's eyes."I was just too angry back then. It wasn’t intentional...""I’ve said that too." Westley put down the binoculars. "You saw my outcome. Obviously, it was useless."

"Jane, don't argue with Zachary. This time, I am staying here voluntarily," said Jordan."I’ve made a bet with Westley, and there will be a resolution in the end."Jane nodded. "I can let you handle this matter yourself, but you have to promise me that you won’t let yourself get hurt, and you won’t just keep sacrificing yourself. If it becomes unbearable, give it up. I’ll always be here to support you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."The two sisters chatted for a long time, and only when Jane started to feel sleepy did they end the video call.Jordan handed the phone to Buck and closed the door to her room.Buck was left standing there.He felt like he had been completely abandoned, as if everything around him had fallen apart.Anyway, as a sandwich in the middle, he was already crushed, so it didn’t matter anymore.For several days, Jordan got up to eat, and the food was always food prepared by the chef.She hadn’t seen Westley around.She couldn’t really say how she felt. She just

"He is faking his psychological illness," Jordan rebutted.Even if he had one, it had nothing to do with her.Even she didn’t have any psychological issues, how could someone with such a strong mind like Westley have any psychological issues?He shouldn’t blame her for everything.Having seen enough, she turned around and walked away.But Carter called her back. "He once took good care of you, and you're going to be this heartless?"Jordan wasn’t familiar with Carter. He was usually a man of few words with a cold personality.If she greeted him, he wouldn’t respond. If she talked too much, she might get an icy look in return.She really didn’t expect that one day, he would try to mediate between her and Westley."You should focus more on your own matters," she said.His own love life was a mess, so what right did he have to interfere in hers?Jordan’s emotions were written all over her face, she didn’t hide them.Carter could guess how she was feeling just by looking at her

Jane didn’t care about Westley. Even if he was feeling it now, it was too late for regrets.If he hadn’t acted the way he did, Jordan wouldn’t have suffered so much.Moreover, he had once ignored her cries for help, so now he shouldn’t blame Jordan for his injuries.“How’s my sister?” she asked.Roy replied, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Collins, Ms. Hickey is doing fine. Except for the lack of freedom, there are no other restrictions.”“When can I have a video call with her?”Roy thought for a moment. “Since Mr. Howard is now delirious, I can make the arrangements.”“Thank you,” said Jane.“It’s no trouble, it’s my job.”After hanging up the phone, Jane looked at Zachary and asked, “What do you think?”Zachary moved the phone a little farther away to avoid radiation.After finishing the massage, he helped her lie down and said, “I’m thinking what you’re thinking.”Jane gave him a sidelong glance. “You’re slick.”Zachary smirked and bent down to kiss her forehead.“Get some rest.”

"Mrs. Howard—"Buck watched helplessly as Jordan jumped into the sea.Before he could rush over, a figure was even faster than him."Sir!"Westley dived into the water, found Jordan, and dragged her to the shore.When Jordan was pulled onto the shore, she was still a bit dazed.Wasn't she just swimming? Why was there so much fuss?Buck gestured for people to bring a stretcher, lifted Westley onto it, and hurried back.Buck also called for the maids to help Jordan back.Jordan wiped her face, pushed the maid aside, and twisted the water out of her hair. "What happened?"Buck was anxious to check on Westley, but he couldn’t stop watching Jordan, worried she might jump into the sea again and trying to think of other ways to prevent it."Mr. Howard was saving you.""Why?" Jordan was confused. "I didn’t drown. What’s the need to save me?"Buck recalled what he had seen earlier. It seemed like... swimming?"Weren’t you... jumping into the sea?""Yes." Jordan didn’t notice Buck

"Nathan, you should head back and deal with your own matters. Let's not interfere with Jordan's matters anymore."Nathan didn’t expect Jane to say this. He paused for a moment before speaking. "You know better than I do what Westley has done. How can we just ignore it? Jordan is still young and hasn’t experienced much in terms of relationships. She lacks experience, what if she falls again..."Jane knew what he was talking about and comforted him. "Don’t worry. Jordan may have experienced little in terms of relationships, but she’s not a foolish girl. She knows how to handle things."Nathan asked, "Is it because there’s something Westley knows?""No, it’s because we can't let Westley continue making a scene. This matter still needs to be handled by the person involved."Nathan didn’t say anything more and told Jane not to worry. When it was close to her delivery, he would come back.Jane agreed and hung up the phone.She threw the phone onto the counter and hugged Zachary from b

Charlotte raised her hand and gently patted Jane’s shoulder."I understand, after all, she's your sister. But I think Jordan is very smart and capable, she can take care of herself. You can worry, but at the same time, take care of your own health. Then, when she comes back, you can love her properly."Jordan walked around the island.There was a helipad on the mountain with two helicopters.Out at sea, there was a large cruise ship docked.But she didn’t know how to pilot any of them, so there was no way to escape.In the end, she decided to just accept things as they were.If there was a problem, she would deal with it. If not, she’d wait."Mrs. Howard, Jasmine is looking for you."When Jordan returned to the villa, Buck handed her a phone.Hearing Jasmine’s name, she took it."Jasmine.""I'm relieved you're okay," said Jasmine, letting out a sigh of relief, then apologizing. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have drunk so much.""It’s not your fault."Since Westley had a plan to
