"Frank isn’t in any trouble," said Alan.

"Really?" asked Paulina.

"Really."

"That's strange." Paulina was puzzled. "Frank just called me, and his tone was off. Where are you?"

"The Smith Group."

"But weren't you on a business trip? How come you're back early?"

Paulina's tone suddenly changed. "Did you go and tell Frank that the last incident was something I did intentionally?"

Alan was sweating on her behalf and didn't know what to say anymore.

He had tried his best.

Paulina wanted to say something more, but the call was already disconnected.

When she arrived at the CEO's office and knocked on the door, she saw Alan kneeling on the floor.

Her heart sank instantly.

Frank was leaning against the desk, casting a disappointed glance at her but not saying anything to embarrass her. Instead, he said coldly, "SZ Technology's Northern Eulast branch is missing a deputy manager. After you hand over your current work, go there as soon as possible to start your new position."

    For now, going to the Northern Eulast branch was still considered being with SZ Technology, still part of Frank's team, which was already quite fortunate. Frank did not deny it. "Aren't you going to leave?""Leaving?" Alan was stunned.Frank had punished Paulina but hadn't punished him yet.Frank glared at him. "This is the last time. If it happens again, don't wait for me to tell you—just leave on your own.""Yes, thank you, Frank!" Alan felt as if he had been pardoned. He got up and looked at Frank. "Don't worry, I will never betray your trust again."Frank lifted his hand lightly. "Get out."Alan quickly followed.Hurrying as best he could, he caught up with Paulina just as she was starting her car to leave. He grabbed her lowered car window. "Paulina, I need to talk to you."Paulina turned her face away and wiped her tears. "If you're going to say something like 'I should have listened to your advice,' please just be quiet.""No."Alan leaned in, looking at her through

    Each word from him felt like an electric current, spreading from my ears to the core of my heart.I let out a long sigh of relief, finally understanding where his mood shift at noon had come from.Frank noticed my sense of relief. "Why are you still sighing?""Why are you asking?" I pinched his waist and huffed, "Your aura suddenly changed at noon, and it startled me."Frank was momentarily surprised and asked softly, "Why didn't you ask me about it then?""I..." I squeezed my palms, slowly piecing together my true self under his affection. No longer worried about appearances or fearing awkwardness, I simply looked up at him and said, "I was scared, Frank. I might not have truly received anything for a long time, so I was a bit insecure."As soon as I finished speaking, his hand was on my head, ruffling my hair. The man leaned down, his bright, intense eyes fixed on me, and spoke with helpless affection, "Take it slow, Charlotte. I'm only 30. Even if I don't live to a hundred, I

    He gave me a sidelong glance. "A little more?""Not satisfied?""That's not it." Frank smiled. "Just wondering, when will it reach its peak?"I curved my lips into a smile. "Well, that depends on how you perform. Keep it up.""Keep it up? I'm already putting in the effort physically."Frank, with a tone of coaxing, slid his hand down to the base of my thigh. After feeling something, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's not that I don't respect the elderly, but I just want to ask, why haven't your elders left yet?"My face flushed intensely, and I slapped his hand away. "Seven days! There's no way it could be that quick. If it were that quick, I'd be in the hospital!"Frank closed his eyes, resigned. He lifted me down and pulled me toward the dining room. "I'm hungry."Julie had already prepared the meal: three dishes and a soup.I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the dishes and looked at Frank. "These are all my favorites?"Whenever it was the summer, I would lose my appet

    After landing, he took a taxi directly to the hotel where Alana was staying. He left his luggage in the room next door to Alana's, intending to catch some sleep and deal with things in the morning. However, his mind wouldn't calm down.Unable to lie still, he got up and went out, knocking on the door of the adjacent room.The sound of the knock seemed very jarring in the quiet corridor.Alana, woken up and irritated, was scared by the unexpected disturbance in a foreign country. She called out from behind the door, "Who is it?"Alex's deep voice responded, "It's me."After a brief silence, the door opened, and Alana, bleary-eyed, looked at him. She rubbed her eyes uncertainly. "Alex? What are you doing here?"The usually alluring woman looked somewhat disheveled, wearing a single strap of her nightdress, with the other strap having fallen off and dangling loosely on her arm.Alex reached out and adjusted the strap on her shoulder. "Why are you wearing a nightdress?"Alana sna

    After Alana said this, the man tightened his grip even more.The heat from his palm burned her wrist.It was excruciatingly hot.Alex was already dressed in a suit, his gray-striped outfit looking calm and formal, completely devoid of the lust from the bed. He said seriously, "Alana, taking emergency contraceptives will disrupt your hormones and harm your body."Alana found this amusing. "Having an abortion is even worse for your body. Don't you know that?""Then just have the baby." Alana looked at him. "Alex, don't tell me you actually think you're responsible? We're divorced, and now you want me to have a child for you?""Sure, trade it for 30% of the Jackson family shares!"She knew that Alex held 60% of the Jackson family's shares.Having a child would mean taking away half of his shares.It was a very high price to ask, but Alana was unflinching and justified in her demand.Alex frowned slightly. "Alana, I can offer you real estate equivalent to the value of those share

    "That's it?" asked Alana."That's it," replied Alex.Alex looked at her. "What about your young boyfriend?"Alana had a young mixed-race boyfriend in her social circle. He was different from the person she had been seeing just half a month ago."If you don't leave, how’s going to show up?" said Alana.Alex asked calmly, "Where did you find this actor?"Alana was puzzled. "Actor?""Not an actor? Are you really changing boyfriends every two weeks? Alana, you don't do that."Knock knock—A lively young man opened the door from outside. Seeing the situation inside, he hesitated, knocked on the door, looked at Alana with a flirtatious smile, and said in fluent Engrian, "Alana, are we playing a game that involves three people today?"Alex's face darkened!The speed of his mood change was comparable to the weather.Alana glanced at Alex. "What do you think, Mr. Jackson?""Stop fooling around!" Alex's expression darkened further as he directly opened her suitcase and stuffed cloth

    "You wouldn't understand even if I told you.""Try me.""Chasing after the one you love." Alana gave him a sidelong glance and muttered quietly, "You've never truly liked anyone, so how could you understand?"Alex's expression suddenly darkened, and he seemed momentarily lost in thought. "Who told you I've never loved anyone?""Who?" Alana smiled, her tone flirtatious and teasing. "Me?"That day, I got up holding the drowsy Danny and took him into the bathroom to brush his teeth.Julie was already in the kitchen making breakfast, and the sweet aroma of oat porridge filled the air."Charlotte!"Jane suddenly burst out of the guest room, frantically searching for me with her phone in hand. She stood at the bathroom door, jumping up and down with excitement. "We're famous again, completely famous!"I looked at her dark circles from a hangover and handed the toothpaste-squeezed toothbrush to Danny. "What?""The Charlotte Jewelry!" Jane handed me her phone. "Look! Last night, Yasm

    On the other end of the line, Yasmin's voice was warm with a hint of a smile. "Charlotte, thank you so much. The dress you designed was fantastic. As soon as the awards ceremony ended last night, a top luxury brand contacted Joanne to sign her as their global ambassador."Hearing this, I was even more delighted. "Really? That's wonderful!"For celebrities, especially someone at Yasmin's level, there was no need to take on ordinary endorsements. They should go for top luxury brands. However, it was rare for Cherian celebrities to be chosen by such brands, so even being an ambassador is something to boast about among fans. Let alone being a global ambassador.Though for Yasmin, this might just be an extra bit of good fortune rather than a significant achievement."It's true." Yasmin smiled slightly, her tone easing. She asked, "Once the contract is successfully signed, there will be a celebration party. May I invite you to attend?"For some reason, I detected a hint of caution in he

    "She's originally from abroad, it's hard to catch her." Frank waved his hand and said to Zachary, "Take care of it. I'm going to have some fun for a while. Once you're better, you can handle the aftermath." Zachary nodded. After Frank left the hospital room, Zachary told everyone to go home. "I'm fine, just a stomach cramp. It's not serious." Rebecca held his hand, hesitant to speak. Zachary took the initiative and said, "Don't worry. I've already cleared things up with Jane. Even if we run into each other in the future, we won't greet each other. We'll be strangers from now on." Outside the hospital room, Jane withdrew her hand from the door, turning to speak to Charlotte. "No need to go in. He's fine." After getting in the car, Charlotte looked at her. "You should stay at Region Gardens for a while." "Once Zachary and Frank finish dealing with the Sanchez family, you can move back to your own place. The Sanchez family has deep roots, and I'm worried that if

    They were eager to see Zachary and hadn't had the chance to speak yet. "Was it Zachary who took Lexi away?" Frank nodded. "He said he would handle it personally, so it should be him handling it." "If the Sanchez family is inconvenient for you, I can take care of it." Just as Eric was about to speak, Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez arrived at the hospital room. They looked quite angry. "Eric, we've known each other for so many years. Even if we can't have a marriage alliance, don't harm my daughter." He unlocked his phone and handed it to Eric. Eric saw the image of Lexi tightly bound. He frowned. Zachary was still unconscious at this moment. Who sent this photo? Ross entered shortly after, answering his question. He heard Ross tell Frank. "The Winston family took her." The Winston family was the Collins family's greatest enemy. And the enemies who had nearly taken Jane's life in Heliafield were the most loyal followers of the Winston family. Thinking b

    Charlotte patted her head. "First, make a video call to that little girl." Jane quickly found her phone and opened the landlord's WhatsApp. As soon as the call connected, the little girl appeared on screen, her eyes red. Tears were still visible on her face. The landlord was sitting next to her, waiting, not having gone to sleep. Jane apologized, "Sorry to disturb your rest." "Don't say that." The landlord gently patted her daughter's head. "I'm just happy you're alright." Jane smiled at the little girl. "Thanks to Celine, I'm fine." The little girl leaned closer to the screen. "Jane, you're lying. Your lips are swollen." Jane cleared her throat. "I ate something spicy earlier." She quickly added to prevent the little girl from saying anything else, "Alright, go to sleep now. We'll talk more when you get out of school. Jane went through a lot today, and she's tired too." The little girl, very understanding, handed the phone to her mother and went to bed

    The captain laughed. "Don't think that just because we're from abroad, we don't understand anything.""Young lady, if you want to buy some time, then I'll play along with you. But if you're hoping for someone to rescue you, I advise you to give up on that thought. This is the border. Domestic ships can't get through here."Well, you don't know Frank.There's no one who can stop him from going where he wants to go.Jane tried her best to suppress her fear. "Sir, I have all kinds of tricks. If I can make you guys happy, can you spare my life?"She reached out, grabbed the captain's belt, and moved closer."As long as you don't kill me, you'll be my savior. I'll be yours from now on and let you have your fun with me. Is that okay?"Although Jane hadn't dressed herself up recently.But her facial features were stunning. Those fox-like eyes with a smile in them were even more alluring.The captain kept swallowing saliva. Apparently, he was attracted.However, they had already rece

    They were anxious, not just because of the situation, but because they feared Zachary would go mad and go abroad with Jane. Frank glanced at their expressions and immediately understood that they were aware of Lexi's plan to send Jane abroad. "I suggest that while Zachary is looking for Jane, you should take care of the Sanchez family's matters. Otherwise, when Zachary comes back, there will be hell to pay." Jane ate the meal the waiter brought and then felt drowsy. She fell into a light sleep, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already half past nine. She remembered the things she had told the little girl before leaving and quickly grabbed her phone to call. But just then, the door was suddenly kicked open. Several adult men stormed in and grabbed her, dragging her outside. "What are you doing?" They had originally planned to reach the border, but unexpectedly, a violent storm had forced a slight course change. This delay allowed the effects of th

    Lexi said, "The plane will leave traces. By then, Zachary will find you. The ship will change at the border and private sea areas. Once she changes ships, it will be hard to track." Jane remembered when Jack had taken Charlotte away before. She felt a sense of unease. After all, Lexi wasn't someone she could fully trust. "I didn't expect you to be so timid." Lexi noticed Jane's worry. "I thought someone with your background, who dared to pursue someone as different as Zachary, and even date him, would have extraordinary courage." But wasn't Jane regretting it now? Otherwise, why would she be running away? She decided not to care anymore. With a firm heart, she boarded the ship. Lexi smiled in satisfaction, but then a cold glint appeared in her eyes as she spoke to the captain. "When we reach the border, throw her into the sea and feed her to the sharks." No matter where she went, as long as Zachary wanted to find her, it was just a matter of time.

    Lexi was so angry that she wanted to smash something. She got up and walked away, with each step of her high heels hitting the ground, the sound echoing her immense fury. The more difficult it was to conquer, the more determined she became to conquer it! Zachary went directly back to the Collins family home. The Collins family members were somewhat uneasy. When they saw him come back alone, they were both shocked and suspicious. "Did Lexi not come back with you?" asked Rebecca. Zachary did not respond and walked upstairs with long strides. Rebecca, along with Sir Collins and Madam Collins, exchanged gazes, all feeling something was off. It was strange that Zachary had actually returned to the Collins family. "Sean." Rebecca saw someone else entering behind him and immediately asked, "Did you follow him the whole time? Did you notice anything unusual?" Sean bent slightly, his face carrying a polite smile as he respectfully replied, "No abnormalities w

    The situation between Zachary and Jane's relationship had not been made public. It was normal for the employees at the company not to know about it. Zachary did not answer when people congratulated him, and Lexi stood silently by his side, not saying anything either. But to those around them, their actions were as good as an admission.Some people even offered their congratulations, but Zachary didn't acknowledge them. He didn't go upstairs. Instead, he turned and left the building. This time, he didn't even get into Lexi's car. The smell inside the car was too overwhelming, making him dizzy.Lexi followed him, and they entered a nearby cafe. He didn't go straight to Jane's place, but Lexi knew that was just a way of hiding his true intentions. However, she wasn't concerned. After all, the Collins family would never approve of him being with Jane. She just needed to give him a bit of time to play along."Mr. Collins, aren't you going to consider my suggestion?" Lexi asked with a sli

    The shock from the Collins family was too much for her. She wouldn't take the initiative, nor would she have the courage to continue with him.So what other way did he have?He'd tried both soft and hard tactics, yet this situation was still more complicated than advanced mathematics.The next day.Lexi invited Zachary out.But the Collins family hesitated.Rebecca said, "Why don't you two spend some more time getting to know each other at home first?"Lexi smiled. "Mrs. Collins, I know what you're worried about, but that woman is no longer in Jeswood."Rebecca was aware of this.After all, they had been keeping an eye on Jane's movements. They even knew where she was staying.It was surprising that Lexi had just returned a day ago, yet she had already figured it out.This kind of method and family background was exactly what the Collins family needed.It was also what Zachary needed."I've erased all traces.
