"She did.""I see." Christine gritted her teeth in secret.Since that wretched person couldn't take a hint and insisted on sticking close to her mother, she shouldn't blame her if things turned out badly. She had missed her chance with the Shaw family before, but no matter what, she wouldn't let go of Yasmin, who was an even bigger prize! At least that was what she thought.As soon as I hung up the phone, Jane came over. "You look so happy. What's the good news?""Ms. Jackson wants to help make some connections." I put down my phone. "She invited me to join her for a dinner party tomorrow.""That's great news!" Jane was also pleased. "I was just worried about how to boost your reputation in the domestic market. You know, even though we could talk business with a pile of awards, it still feels like it would be more harm than good.""Those who want to spend money on custom designs are looking for prestige, and when we seek them out ourselves, it's easy for us to be looked down upon

On the way to the hotel, the driver was at the wheel. We sat in the back seat, and Ryan was somewhat silent. Occasionally, he would glance at me but remained silent.He didn't speak, and I didn't particularly want to talk to him either, so I remained quiet as well.The hotel wasn't too far away. In silence, we soon arrived."Was that little boy who called you 'Aunt' Frank's nephew?" After a long while, Ryan's deep and hoarse voice finally broke the silence in the car.I looked up at him and met his complex black eyes. "Yes, he's the child of his cousin."Ryan seemed a bit agitated. He subconsciously took out a cigarette from his cigarette case, put it between his lips, and looked at me before stopping and not lighting it. He irritably tossed the cigarette into the ashtray in the car, his eyes fixed on me as he hesitated, then finally asked, "Are you and Frank together?"His voice had a barely perceptible tremor.I looked at him, feeling no sense of guilt at all. It felt as thoug

Ryan remained silent for quite a while. I couldn't tell what he was thinking. After a significant pause, he spoke softly, "Did it hurt?"I shook my head. "It doesn't hurt anymore."He shook his head as well. "No, I mean, did it hurt at the time?""It was okay." I licked my lips. "It wasn't the most painful thing for me.""I remember…" Ryan's voice had a nasal quality. "You were afraid of needles even when getting blood drawn."I chuckled lightly. "I was afraid of pain back then, but not so much anymore."Later on, one thing after another made me realize that pain was the simplest and most straightforward thing. There was nothing to be afraid of.Plus, being trapped in depression and having secretly stopped my medication when I first arrived in Frankes, I couldn't control my emotions. At that time, I didn't even have the luxury to think about pain. The knife was already in the wound before I even realized it.As I spoke, the car had already parked in the driveway, and the driv

"Scarlet!" Yasmin poked her on the head. "I suspect that the rumors online slandering me were spread by you."Suddenly, Ryan came over with a glass of wine, clinking it from a distance. "Ms. Jackson, it's been a while."His gaze, however, kept drifting towards me."Mr. Frost, I didn't expect you to be here tonight as well," said Yasmin, somewhat surprised. She saw through his intentions but didn't address them directly. Instead, she asked, "When did you become interested in our entertainment industry?""Just looking to get a piece of the pie," Ryan smiled and said calmly. "I'm just not sure if Ms. Jackson is willing to cooperate?"In other words, the RF Group was considering entering the entertainment industry. Out of respect for Yasmin, he wanted to give her a heads-up to avoid any future misunderstandings.Yasmin smiled. "Mr. Frost, you’re hilarious. It’s the survival of the fittest in any industry."From a distance, Christine watched the scene with gritted teeth.Her mother

Ryan was pulled away by a well-known director to discuss investment matters.As I was engaged in a lively conversation with Yasmin, a waiter came over."Miss, your juice.""Thank you."Such events offer this kind of service. Without much thought, I reached out to take it when Christine walked over.Seeing this, Yasmin reached out to check her forehead and said softly and caringly, "Sweetie, Joanne said you weren't feeling well. Are you feeling better now?""Much better, Mom." Christine stood next to her, looking obedient, and gazed dreamily at Scarlet. "Scarlet, I saw online that you'll be going to be a regular on a slow-life variety show next month. Could you take me along to experience it?"Hearing this, I roughly understood her intention—her interest in joining the entertainment industry had not waned.The show Scarlet was joining involved a director selecting a rural area, inviting a few talented actors or actresses, and adding a couple of new faces to experience leisurely

Christine took a sip from her glass after the comment.Since she was Yasmin's daughter, I couldn't refuse her request and also took a sip, saying, "Don't worry. It's a part of my job.""Ms. Jackson!" A glamorous actress came over to greet Yasmin.I seized the opportunity to speak. "Ms. Jackson, you carry on. I need to use the toilet."For some reason, despite the air conditioning in the banquet hall, I felt unusually restless. Once in the toilet, I stood at the sink, turning on the tap and repeatedly washing my hands, then splashing cold water on my arms. However, it didn't provide any relief. If anything, the discomfort worsened. Feeling extremely restless, I turned off the tap and suddenly felt dizzy. I quickly grabbed the sink to steady myself.In a daze, a thought crossed my mind. ‘I've been drugged.’From the moment I left the house until now, the only thing I had drunk was a sip of juice from the server. If someone had intentionally drugged me at this event, then th

Especially considering the methods of that man, she knew he could handle an orphan without difficulty. She had always been unsure of what she was truly worried about.Hearing this, Yasmin felt even more guilty towards her daughter. "It's okay. I’m right here with you, aren’t I? If it gets damaged or lost, I will get you a new one!""Thank you, Mom!" Christine smiled brightly. "But it's alright. It means a lot to me. It was the first gift you gave me, and if I replace it, it won't hold the same meaning. I want to keep it as it is."That man had warned her. If she flaunted it, he would deal with her personally. She still didn't have the resources to fight back. He had personally placed her in this position, but if he decided otherwise, she could easily be brought back to her original state."You silly girl." Yasmin affectionately pinched her cheeks. "Then go take off your makeup and take care of your skin. It's not good for your skin to leave it on.""Okay."Christine returned to h

He sounded like he had caught me cheating on him.Here is the English translation of the passage:Although it wasn't the case, I still felt somewhat uneasy. I looked at Ryan and said, "Mr. Frost, he's here to pick me up, so... I won't trouble you any longer. Thank you!"With that, I leaned against the car and walked towards the Mulsanne."You..."Ryan looked at me with concern, his dark eyes swirling with emotion. He took a step closer but didn't say anything, simply helping me into Frank's car.He then turned to Frank and said coldly, "There's no need for misunderstandings. She's been drugged. I'm entrusting her to you because I believe you won't take advantage of her situation."Frank sneered. "Mr. Frost, that's quite amusing. Whether I take advantage of her or not is none of your business. If I remember correctly, you no longer have any relationship with Charlotte."Ryan's back stiffened slightly, and he seemed somewhat dazed before he spoke, "Such matters are best handled w

It was the habit of someone accustomed to a high position."What’s wrong?" the man asked, his deep voice carrying a clear warmth."Look at you, acting so cheap. If you’re happy, just smile. Why pretend?"Frank, after all, was now happily settled.Seeing others in turmoil, he liked to tease them."No wonder you can’t win your wife back."Westley was rendered speechless.Jordan, not wanting to join the topic, quickly ran off.Frank joked, "See? Your wife just ran off again."Westley clenched his molars tightly.One by one, these happy people were taking turns mocking him."If you’re not going to help, at least don’t make things worse."Frank clicked his tongue and said, "Wow, the resentment is strong."Charlotte, holding Frank’s arm, tried to smooth things over. "That’s enough, Mr. Smith. Stop making fun of others."Westley was rendered speechless.‘Thanks. Appreciate that...’Charlotte added, "And stop mentioning Zachary’s pregnancy symptoms—it’s a sign of love."Frank

“These are all the photos of landscapes and animals you’ve taken over the years?”“Yes, I didn’t have anything else to gift, but I thought the baby could experience these through pictures while young and then go see them in person when older.”“You’re so thoughtful! I’ll thank you on behalf of this little embryo, Auntie.”Jane genuinely liked it. After flipping through the album, she instinctively tried to pass it to someone nearby but then remembered that Zachary had gotten out of the car when Jordan got in. He was now riding in the vehicle behind them.She placed the album into the front passenger seat’s storage compartment and then started chatting with Jordan about her recent experiences.Jordan said, “Not much, really. Things went pretty smoothly overall. I gave all the photos to the media. I hope it can raise awareness and help save more girls. That place was hell on earth for them.”Jane nodded. “You did an amazing job.”After her praise, she asked, “What do you want to e

The Collins family’s expressions all changed.Although Madam Collins had spoken so casually, deep down, she was certainly still displeased about Zachary marrying Jane.She had simply seen the deeper truth. Zachary was resolute about Jane.She also understood that Zachary was no longer someone they could control.But when this was bluntly laid bare, her chest still tightened.“What do you mean by that?” Rebecca pressed.Sean merely replied, “That’s all I can say. And that’s because of the bond we share as former master and servant. After all, now I must follow Mr. Collins’s orders.”The room fell into a prolonged silence.Madam Collins broke it with a soft chuckle.She looked at Rebecca and said, “You said he doesn’t acknowledge you as his mother, yet he could have quietly gone off to register the marriage without us knowing, but instead, he let Sean inform us.”Rebecca didn’t immediately react.Madam Collins clarified, “He specifically instructed Sean to pass the news to you

At the hospital.Rebecca listened to Sean's report.When she heard that Zachary had come to the hospital, she immediately panicked. "I knew that woman was bad luck! Ever since Zachary got together with her, he's been plagued with all sorts of misfortune and illness!"Eric hesitated before speaking. "Zachary went to see the doctor because of morning sickness?""What?"Rebecca couldn't believe her ears. "Do you even hear how ridiculous that sounds?"Sean chimed in, "It’s true."Rebecca was rendered speechless.Sean explained, "I consulted with an expert. This kind of situation is rare but does happen. If a husband deeply loves his wife, seeing her suffer during pregnancy can cause him to experience symptoms like morning sickness."At that moment, Rebecca felt like a beehive had exploded in her ears.All she could hear was a loud buzzing noise.It took her a long moment to recover before she scoffed."He’s such a good husband, isn’t he? I risked my life to give birth to him an

Jane leaned in for a sniff. "Smells so good."Zachary’s worries were unnecessary, she only took a few bites before losing interest.The rest ended up in his stomach.Which then found its way to the toilet, and finally, down the drain.After Zachary rinsed his mouth, Jane peeled an orange for him. "Try this, see if it helps."Zachary ate the orange directly from her hand.It was so sour it made his teeth ache.Still, it seemed to provide some relief.Jane poured him some water."You don’t need to take care of me, I can handle myself.""And I can handle myself too," Jane retorted. "Why are you always doing things for me, then?""It’s different—you’re pregnant."Zachary drank a sip of the water, mostly because she had poured it."I’m just throwing up a little," said Jane.She had experienced it before—constant retching, even with nothing left in her stomach. That kind of discomfort was hard to endure.His voice was hoarse by now, which showed just how bad it had gotten.At

However, the test results showed nothing wrong.Even after being in a coma for those days, his body remained strong thanks to the nutritional IV.As long as he avoided alcohol and irritating foods, his gastritis wouldn't flare up.It certainly wouldn't become severe enough to cause this kind of reaction.Yet Zachary's vomiting was even more intense than her pregnancy nausea.Even though there was nothing left to throw up—not even stomach acid—if he kept going, he might end up vomiting bile.It really didn’t seem like the symptoms of someone perfectly healthy.So Jane contacted Tanner.After hearing her description, Tanner chuckled.Jane felt as though Tanner was gloating."Isn’t this great? He’s throwing up for you, so you can feel a bit better."Jane was taken aback.Over the time she had spent taking Zachary to the doctor, she truly hadn’t felt any discomfort herself.She had thought it was because she hadn’t eaten much, so her symptoms were temporarily subsiding."Dr.

Jane washed her face, took a moment to gather herself, then straightened up and hugged him."Stop reflecting on yourself already, hearing it makes my pregnancy symptoms worse."The tactic worked well, as she didn’t hear any more apologies from him afterward."I feel like eating an orange. Could you peel one for me?"Zachary immediately carried her to the sofa, tucked a blanket over her, and sat beside her to peel the orange.He meticulously removed every single white thread from the orange segments.Resting her chin on her hand, Jane watched him and teased, "You’re treating me even better now that I’m pregnant. Do you love the baby more than me?"Without hesitation, Zachary replied, "It’s because pregnancy is hard on you. If you hadn’t agreed to have the baby, I wouldn’t have kept—"Before he could finish, Jane kicked him, silencing him.He handed her the peeled orange.Jane couldn’t taste her mood anymore, so she focused on eating the orange.Zachary felt his teeth ache jus

"I envy his fiancee so much!""You women are so shallow. Just because he’s buying some raviolis, you think he’s humbled himself for love. Why don’t you think about this—he’s the son of an affluent family. If he hadn’t picked someone from such a poor background, why would he come to this rundown place to buy these commoner foods?"As soon as the man finished speaking, he felt a sharp, cold gaze land on him.The people who had been enthusiastically discussing with him moments earlier suddenly avoided looking at him.But Zachary merely glanced at him.His raviolis were already packed, and he was eager to bring them back for Jane.He didn’t linger long, nor did he feel the need to waste his words on clueless fools like these.Besides, even if he explained, they probably wouldn’t understand—or even care.Meanwhile, Jane had been leaning against the car window, watching Zachary the whole time. When she saw him walking back, she opened the car door for him.“Hurry, get in.”Zachary

They were heading back to their cozy little nest.On the way, her phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, she slapped Zachary’s thigh.“Oh no!”Zachary looked confused.“I forgot about Jordan!”Jordan had mentioned that she would be filming, and Westley had been by her side the entire time to protect her.Jane, preoccupied with her own matters, had assumed that with Westley around, nothing would go wrong.Her return to the country had been a last-minute decision, and she had left in a hurry.She was also dealing with the discomfort of her pregnancy.All the emotions and tasks piling up caused her to completely forget.Sure enough, when she answered the call, Jordan’s voice was full of grievance.“Aren’t we good friends?”“Yes, yes, we are,” Jane replied with an awkward cough. “Something urgent came up, so... I’m sorry.”Jordan, however, was gracious. “I understand your situation is special. Just treat me to a meal to make up for it. I’ll be flying to Jeswood soon.”“Alrig
