"And actually, I support your staying in Frankes," he said.

I pursed my lips slightly. "Why?"

"I have a friend in Frankes who is a top psychology expert. Charlotte, she can definitely help cure your depression."

"Jack, I told you, the medicine belongs to Jane..."

I didn't want to admit it.

Jack reached out and touched the fresh scar on my wrist. "First you slit your wrists, then you ran into the lake. Clearly, you don't value your life and have no desire to live. You still want to hide this from me?"

"I..." I turned my head to look out the window. "I don't even know what's going on..."

I couldn't control my thoughts.

Even my own body was beyond my control.

Actually, there had been signs of this a long time ago.

It just became more obvious during the month after returning from Jeswood to Jelaston.

It was Jane who noticed the problem and forcibly took me to the hospital, where I was diagnosed with severe depression.

If it hadn't been for needing to confirm Frank's situation i

    Two years later, Jelaston Airport.I stepped out in flat shoes, pushing my suitcase, and was greeted with a big hug from Jane."Ms. Wilson, you’ve finally decided to come back?""Are you trying to strangle me?"I smiled wryly. "I just missed you, so I came back."Jane actually visited me in Frankes whenever she had time. The last time we met was only two weeks ago.On the way home, while driving, she said, "During the period when you first went missing, Ryan was like a madman. He couldn't believe you had just vanished into thin air. He almost wanted to dig up all of Jelaston and drain the lake."I smiled. "You've mentioned this many times.""I'm just saying." Jane sighed. "But Ryan and Jack kept it under wraps. Very few people knew you were in trouble."Aside from Jane and Jack, everyone else thought I was still by Ryan's side, living comfortably as Mrs. Frost.And Megan, not long after Frank's accident, returned to the Smith Group, fighting for power with that illegitimate s

    "Yep, guess who?""The popular young star recently?""No, no, think bolder.""Bolder?""Yasmin Jackson!""What?"I was taken aback, "Jane, you've managed to network into that circle now?"Yasmin Jackson, one of the four top actresses in the entertainment industry. She became over 20 years ago. Her family background was quite impressive, but no one has dug up anything substantial over the years. Some say it was either fake news or her background was so extraordinary that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to find anything.After taking a break from acting a few years ago and moving behind the scenes, she had become a significant player in the entertainment industry. Every appearance she made was as talked-about as any top celebrity."This isn't my connections." Jane shook her head, laughing. "It was Yasmin who saw the dress you designed for last month's fashion week and liked it. She had her agent contact me, asking if I could make an exception and reserve a private custom slot f

    As I reached out to knock on the car window, a bodyguard quickly stood in front of me."Hello, ma'am! This is a private vehicle.""I know." I pointed inside the car. "I know him."The front passenger window lowered, and another bodyguard said, "I’m sorry, our employer doesn't know you.""He doesn't know me?" I asked."Yes, you might have mistaken him for someone else!"As the bodyguard spoke, the driver followed orders, stepped on the gas, and the black Continental slowly drove away.Other vehicles quickly followed.I stood there, stunned for a while.Frank didn't recognize me anymore...Or was that not Frank?Suppressing my doubts, I turned and went back to Grandma's room to ask the caregiver."Was the Mr. Smith who came earlier here for the first time?""Probably not, but it wasn't my shift," the caregiver replied. "He seemed quite familiar with the ward facilities when he arrived.""What did Grandma call him?" I asked."She just held his hand and wouldn't let go. Late

    I seemed not to have heard him and continued, "It's not just that she doesn't like me. You probably dislike me quite a bit too, right? But I know you're my biological father. Why would a father dislike his own child? Is it because of some enmity between my mother and you...?""Enough!" Mr. Shaw cut me off sharply, his face reddening. "You've been back in Jelaston for two years, and you've become just as unruly and aggressive as you were when you were younger?""Oh." I received the answer I wanted. "It seems my birth mother is indeed someone else."This was what the psychologist in Frankes had told me.The more people try to deflect or get agitated when you ask something, the more it indicated there was an issue.What I initially suspected was now a certainty.Mr. Shaw, who was usually quite elegant, looked at me with a hint of disgust. "Get lost!""Alright." I smiled slightly and turned swiftly before he could lose his temper further."Wait!" He suddenly called out to me. "Have

    "What's next? Just confirming that he's doing well will be enough."I was momentarily taken aback but quickly realized something. "I don't want to anticipate anything anymore."I can't really describe my feelings toward Frank. The only thought I've had over the past two years is hoping to hear from him, hoping that he is still alive and well.The next day, Jane and I went to the Charlotte Jewelry together.Austin had been promoted to Deputy Director of the Design Department and now had his own independent office.When he saw me through the French windows at the company, he was overjoyed and rushed to Jane's office, "Ms. Wilson! You're finally back at the company. I've been looking forward to your return day and night.""You missed her so much?" Jane teased with a smile. "When she's not here, you're the one in charge, enjoying yourself. Why would you look forward to her coming back?"In the two years I was away, the Charlotte Jewelry had grown rapidly, even leasing the office spa

    The scent was refreshing and comfortable, perfect for the summer. It was clear that Yasmin paid great attention to the quality of life. Before long, the door to the bedroom opened from the inside, and Yasmin emerged wearing a simple silk camisole dress. As expected of a perennial star in the entertainment industry, she was even more elegant and beautiful in person than in the videos and photos online, showing no signs of aging. At around 50 years old, she was still stunningly beautiful, a truly impressive celebrity."Ms. Jackson." I smiled and stood up to greet her. Jane also stood up and said, "Ms. Jackson, it's truly better to see you in person! The media photos don't capture even half of your beauty!"Yasmin had no pretense at all and playfully responded to Jane's compliment.With the assistant's introduction, she distinguished between me and Jane. She walked over in her slippers, her red lips slightly upturned. "Why are you standing? Please, take a seat."She pulled

    Jelaston wasn’t a big place. When I decided to return to the country, I had already prepared myself for the possibility of running into him again. I just didn't expect it to be so soon.As I quickly withdrew my hand, I heard Yasmin said in surprise, "Mrs. Frost?""Yes.""She's the ex-wife."Ryan and I spoke almost simultaneously. I suppressed my irritation, looked at Yasmin, and smiled faintly. "Ms. Jackson, you're busy. We'll take our leave now.""Yes, Ms. Jackson, if you need anything, feel free to call me," Jane also said politely.As we were leaving, I vaguely heard Yasmin's voice behind us. "Mr. Frost, it looks like your ex-wife doesn't seem to like you."Just as we were about to leave the hotel, a black Continental drove away from the car park.I instinctively ran outside and saw a license plate that looked somewhat familiar.Jane chased after me. "What's wrong? Why are you running so fast? Did you see a ghost?""It's not that." I pointed to the Continental that had a

    Frank was spinning a lighter in a daze, his cold face showed no emotions. "I don't know either."Alana Smith found this amusing. "Even someone like you can be confused sometimes?""I don't want to force her into anything.""Cut the crap." Alana suddenly exposed his pretense with a laugh. "Don't try to fool me. You know she's going to that hotel today, and you still insisted on driving that stupid car of yours, making it obvious, just so she'd notice.""And then, when she shows up, you're here hesitating, not even seeing her.""Frank..." Alana suddenly stood up, pointing at him with a knowing smile. "You're not playing hard to get, are you?"Frank slapped her hand away, trying to appear calm. "Your imagination is better than hers."Back then, I went back to Ryan and left him without hesitation. Even when Megan tried to inform me of Frank’s death, it was Ryan who answered the call. He hadn't dared to tell anyone that he had called later, in the dead of night, when he was overwhelm

    "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
