Chapter 339

Author: Lean
I paused for a moment and then said with a hint of mockery, "I never knew you had such tolerance before."

That night, I had kissed Frank in front of him. Although I was drunk, it had actually happened. Given his nature, which allowed only himself to set the rules and not others, he should have ignored me from then on.

As soon as my words fell, the sound that followed wasn't Ryan's voice but the commotion coming from the center of the banquet hall.

Lily had changed into a pure white dress. Standing in the center with a microphone, she seemed a bit shy, but her dark eyes were fixed intensely on a certain direction.

The direction where Frank was.

"Over these years, being away from Grandma and my parents, I... I've suffered a lot and dealt with many people's looks, but relying on the few remaining beautiful memories, I've held on."

She choked up slightly and began to sob. "I'm also very lucky. My family... and Frank, have never given up on finding me. This morning, when Grandma asked

    His expression turned cold and his voice was hoarse. "The shares I gave you are for you to live a better life, not for you to use as leverage in negotiations with me.""So, Mr. Frost, is that a yes or a no?"He sneered, speaking with the utmost coldness, "Then you can try it. Whoever you sell them to, I'll make sure they suffer. If you want to harm someone, feel free to."He remained obsessively stubborn, almost to the point of being pathological. Threats were a game of who could sink lower. I couldn’t compete with him, and there was no point in saying anything more.Grinding my teeth, I went to find Jane.Jane and Ian were discussing some trivial matters. Seeing me arrive, Jane smiled at Ian. "Mr. Brown, after the New Year, when you return to Jelaston, let me treat you to a meal.""Alright." Ian nodded slightly.After greeting him, I was about to leave with Jane when Ian suddenly called out to me, "Ms. Wilson!"He hesitated before speaking, "Is your divorce with Mr. Frost rela

    I tugged at my sleeve, feeling a bit embarrassed. Just as I was about to speak honestly, the banquet hall was suddenly filled with commotion."Oh my God!" Someone shouted, "The eldest daughter of the Shaw family has fainted, call the ambulance!"The next moment, the man who had been keeping his head down suddenly stood up and darted out as fast as a gust of wind.Shocked, Madam Shaw jumped up, disregarding everything else, and hurriedly left with the help of the servants.In the waiting room, only Jane and I remained."Let's go, stop worrying about it," said Jane, pulling me along. "Others have family and devoted fiances. You need to take care of yourself. Let's get to the hospital quickly so it doesn't get as serious as last time."The banquet hall had become a chaotic mess.Some people were genuinely concerned, while others were just putting on a show for the Shaw family.At the hospital, after I had several blood tests, I waited in the infusion room for Jane.But the itchin

    When a person was in extreme discomfort, they would become intensely self-centered. I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't think of anything else and kept scratching myself. "What does it have to do with me?"Even when I was in such pain, I wasn't about to turn into a saint who would sacrifice myself for others.Thud—She suddenly fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face. "Please, you're not in any serious condition. Just save my daughter, will you?"Everyone in the infusion room looked over in astonishment.At that moment, she was a desperate mother, deeply worried about her daughter's life.And I was perceived as a cold-hearted villain who refused to help save a life just because I had a small problem."No."I looked at her coldly and said to Jane, "Jane, call the police. Mrs. Shaw is deliberately obstructing medical care and is suspected of attempted murder."Compared to how others see me, my own life was more important.Who was Lily?The eldest daughter of the Sh

    ‘Asking Frank for help?’I wasn’t sure if it was my pessimism, but given his obsession with Lily, I would rather trust Madam Shaw just a little more.Even though he always thought that Lily wasn’t the right person they were looking for, he wouldn't just stand by and watch her die, even if there was only a one in a thousand chance. He was not the type to be indecisive.Sacrificing me was actually predictable.Bang—To my surprise, there was no argument from outside, just a loud crash as the door was kicked open.Frank exuded a cold aura.To my astonishment, he strode in, quickly untied the ropes binding me, and tore the tape off my mouth with trembling hands. "Charlotte, how could you be so stupid again!""I...""Enough, don't talk. You look awful."Once he confirmed that I hadn't been drawn of blood yet, his expression softened slightly, though he still looked displeased. "I'll take you to see a doctor.""Frank!"Bethany, momentarily startled by his presence, quickly recove

    "Since it won't kill her..." He smiled faintly. "Then let's draw as much blood as possible."With that, ignoring Bethany's resistance, he quickly bound her to another chair."It's clear the Shaw family didn't waste their efforts raising you. You have such deep sisterly feelings for Lily, so don't just talk about it."As Frank tightened the knots of the rope and gestured to the medical staff, he said, "What are you waiting for? Draw the blood.""Mom! Mom!" Bethany cried out desperately for help!Mrs. Shaw, frantic, tried to rush in, but Frank's people had arrived, blocking both sides of the door.Those wanting to get out couldn't, and those wanting to get in couldn't.It was a matter of who was crazier, more ruthless, and more reckless!Mrs. Shaw grabbed Madam Shaw's arm, her tone more heartfelt than when she begged me earlier, her voice trembling with fear. "Mom... talk to Frank, he listens to you! Bethany, Bethany will really be in trouble if this goes on...""Didn't you hear

    This floor was originally a VIP area. When he appeared, everyone's expressions changed.Only Frank remained filled with hostility.Luke's rage had dissipated, replaced by the calmness and shrewdness of a businessman. "Mr. Frost, your wife is... Ms. Wilson?"As he spoke the last two words, he looked at me.This "thing" finally had a surname in his mouth.Ryan's voice was as cold as ice as he retorted, "What do you think?""Mr. Frost should still distinguish between a wife and an ex-wife." Frank's voice was gentle but his tone was unyielding."Don't worry. I'll make sure to send you an invitation when we remarry."As Ryan spoke, he tried to pull me away from Frank.Frank did not let go.Tension was rising.The fear of having blood drawn earlier made me temporarily forget my physical discomfort. Now, Ryan's presence gave me a sense of relief.I was still itchy.I struggled with Frank's grip. "You... handle Lily's matter first."In the current situation, if he left with me an

    Ryan glanced at Jane, hinting, "Don't you think it's a bit too bright here?"Jane was carefully applying ointment to me. "I don't think so. The brightness is just right.""Ryan." I looked at him. "You should leave.""I should leave?"Ryan cast a glance outside, his eyes darkening. "Are you planning to go be a portable blood bag for someone else?"I understood what he meant. Although the Smith family had clarity, Mrs. Shaw and Bethany were crazed beyond reason. They saw me as a thorn and would seize any opportunity to tear me apart.Ryan remained calm and collected, pulling up a chair by the bed and crossing his long legs. "Do you want some water?""You’re sitting with your legs crossed now. Who would dare ask for water?" Jane, who was already displeased with him, seized the opportunity to make sarcastic comments.Ryan smiled. "Aren't you here too?""You deserve to be divorced." Jane smiled and poured a glass of water for me.After the IV was done, it wasn't too late yet. I wa

    I was also somewhat puzzled. Together with Megan, I looked at Jack in unison. He was as composed and gentle as usual, refilling my cup with water while smiling lightly. "What's there to not say? It's just that being too detailed might cause him more trouble."Megan asked, "Why?""You said he's in a tense situation with your father, didn't you?" Jack lowered his gaze and said methodically, "The more detailed you are, the more he might worry about Charlotte. If things stir up at home, wouldn't that cause him more trouble?""That's true..." Megan nodded. "But I've already mentioned it. What should we do? Although he hasn't seen it yet, I can’t really unsend the message."Jack kept his smile. "It's fine. We'll deal with whatever comes our way."Jane came out of the bedroom and was surprised to see Jack and Megan. She greeted them with a smile.Jack glanced at her and said regretfully, "On Tom's wedding day, he was waiting for you.""Waiting for me?" Jane opened a bottle of water

    "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

    She got up just around noon.After thinking for a moment, she decided to go see Westley.Westley wasn't in the bedroom, so she went downstairs to ask the staff.The servant pointed toward the kitchen, and she walked over, finding Westley cutting vegetables.A strip of bandages was wrapped around his exposed wrist.His pale lips and exhausted eyes suggested he was still in poor condition.Yet, he was cooking?Jordan pressed her lips together, her sleep had been poor, and her face didn’t look good either.She stood in place for a few seconds, then turned and walked away.If he didn’t take care of his own body, what business was it of hers?Westley glanced over but didn’t call her, continuing his task.Buck watched the whole scene, worried about Westley’s health, he was still running a fever.“Sir, you should rest. Let me arrange for someone to cook, and I’ll bring it up to you later. And Mrs. Howard... probably won’t care about you... You should take care of your health. Othe

    Charlotte nodded. “So does unhygienic mean better taste?”Jane directly spoke to her belly, "Son, you have to treat your mother-in-law well in the future. Mommy won't be able to back you up. Mommy’s useless..."Charlotte raised her hand and poked her forehead. "Alright, stop the act.""You're even bringing the child up. We still don’t know if it's a boy."Jane said, "I want to arrange a marriage alliance with you. My child can sense his mother’s feelings and will surely fulfill his mother's wishes.""That's nonsense." Charlotte went out to buy what she wanted to eat.As soon as she sat in the car, she received a call from Frank."Is Mr. Smith slacking off again?"Frank chuckled. "I’m calling my wife. Is that not allowed anymore?"Charlotte had driven herself. She turned on the air conditioning and was thinking about going shopping. "I’ve got to go now. I'll be home tonight."Frank heard the sound of the engine and asked, "Did you go out?"Charlotte snorted, "You should know

    The fireworks were dazzling and brilliant.Westley looked up in a certain direction.At the moment the fireworks bloomed, a figure appeared in the window of that place.Jordan couldn’t sleep because of Westley’s injury.As she tossed and turned in bed, a sudden bright light appeared in front of the window.She walked over to the window, opened it, and saw the fireworks bursting in the night sky.There seemed to be a few figures on the beach.But Westley was tall enough that she could spot him at a glance.At that moment, she forgot to watch the fireworks.It was only when Westley raised his hand and pointed upward that she looked up.She realized that the fireworks formed a few words.“I’m sorry, Jordan.”“Happy birthday.”Jordan had originally planned to spend her birthday with Nathan and Jane.But when she was brought over by Westley, she completely forgot about her birthday.She glanced at the time, and it was exactly midnight.Her birthday had begun.The night sky
