Chapter 514

Author: Lean
Bethany smiled and pretended to stop her. “Forget it, Carrie, don’t underestimate her. She might end up with some rich husband and getting support from someone later.”

“Bethany, you’re the daughter of the Shaw family! Are you really afraid of her? You said she’s an orphan. Even if she’s good at attracting rich men, who would actually marry her?”

Carrie Harrison sneered. “Anyone invited by Ms. Jackson is from a family that values social standing. At most, they might play around with her. No one would turn against us for an obscure lover.”

The young man who had previously approached me couldn’t stand it any longer and spoke up for me, “No, she was just introduced by Ms. Jackson…”

“Enough,”

People of this social tier generally looked down on ordinary celebrities. No matter how popular one was, it ultimately depended on capital.

Bethany interrupted him. “I know you want to say she knows Ms. Jackson…”

“What?” Carrie suddenly looked alarmed, “She knows Ms. Jackson? Why didn’t you say

    After giving my instructions, I decided not to bother and headed straight to find Jane.“Why should I leave?” Carrie, after hearing the security's straightforward eviction notice, looked at me with suspicion and asked, “Who… who is she?”Bethany glared at me with hatred and then turned to the security, “Oh! Now I get why a mere designer can stay here so long. It's because she has an affair with you, isn’t it?”“Please watch your language!”The security guard frowned, “Ms. Wilson is an esteemed guest. Your insults…”“Esteemed guest?”Carrie’s expression grew more anxious. “She, she’s someone’s esteemed guest? Could it be… Ms. Jackson?”But after saying that, she looked a bit doubtful.Bethany was even less convinced. Now that she was being expelled and the guests who had been watching the scene started whispering among themselves, she felt humiliated and quickly became red with anger. She stormed over to me, gritting her teeth, “Charlotte, what trick are you playing now! Even if

    The people present exchanged glances, with some having their mouths hanging open in shock.After all, Frank and Ryan were both significant figures. No one there was unafraid of them.Everyone tacitly understood that the Harrison family was finished!Carrie was stunned, glancing between Frank and Ryan, unable to utter a word of pleading. In the next moment, she suddenly looked at me with a pale face, panic-stricken, and said, “Ms… Ms. Wilson… I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have looked down on you or insulted you. Please, hit me if you want, just please!”She was nearly in tears, no longer concerned about the dignity of a young lady. “I really know I was wrong. I beg you, please let Mr. Smith and Mr. Frost spare my family… I came here hoping to collaborate with Ms. Jackson, but instead, I’ve brought trouble to my family. My father will kill me!”Yes, I knew she wasn’t exaggerating.In such families, children who enjoy wealth and power must also pay the corresponding price. If they not only

    Frank noticed her too and frowned slightly, then looked at me and said quietly, "Charlotte, I have some business to discuss with Mr. Frost. Can you check on why Jane hasn’t come up yet?""Okay." I nodded, left straightaway, and called Jane while waiting for the elevator.Anyone could see the undercurrents between these two formidable figures.Ex-husband, current boyfriend…Anyone who dared to approach them at that moment would consciously steer clear and give them space.Frank pressed his tongue against his cheek, clearly ready to erupt but reluctant to cause a scene in front of his future mother-in-law. He sneered and said, “Mr. Frost, can we have a word in private?”“Sure.” Ryan looked at Charlotte’s distant figure, his fingers slightly curled.He had expected that Charlotte might show some emotional reaction with another woman around him. To his surprise, she didn’t seem to care at all!It was as if, for her, the past was simply the past.To her, he was just an ordinary ex-

    The girl next to her said, “What else could it be? It’s definitely Elena from the Charlotte Jewelry! I just didn’t expect that she would be such a young and beautiful woman!”“I didn’t see you speaking up for her earlier. Now you’re praising her.”“What could I have been able to do?”The girl next to her gave her a sidelong glance. “Did you forget what you and Carrie and Bethany said earlier? If I had helped her, you would have probably cursed me as well.”It was only natural to protect oneself.“No...”She didn’t argue, muttering, “Originally, my mom was trying to get another spot for a private commission with Elena, but now that I’ve messed things up… I’m afraid it’s impossible for the rest of our lives.”“Not necessarily.” Another girl spoke up, “She doesn’t seem like the type to hold grudges. She probably won’t hold it against someone like you who doesn’t have much sense.”The people around were also discussing among themselves.The dinner hadn’t ended yet, and I had alrea

    Diana was stunned for a moment.This was indeed not what she had anticipated!Ryan smiled, his pitch-black, deep-set eyes showing no hint of scrutiny, calmly seeing through Diana.With just one glance, Diana awkwardly lowered her head, avoiding his gaze!This man was too intimidating!Playing games of pretending to be weak and then seizing an opportunity was a big mistake in front of someone as perceptive as him…Ryan leisurely extinguished his cigarette. His voice was hoarse, yet his aura remained penetrating. “Why do you think I’ve brought you here today?”Diana’s heart was pounding, not out of anything else, but out of fear and nervousness.Ryan looked down at her, methodically peeling away her thoughts, “Seeing Charlotte, did you think you could be a substitute?”She gripped the hem of her dress tighter to control her trembling, but it was likely futile. She forced herself to look up at Ryan. “Then, Mr. Frost, can I?”Ryan sneered, not providing a direct answer, only utte

    Frank gave me a sidelong glance, not responding and maintaining his firm grip, not allowing me to withdraw. He took out his phone and made a call.In a short while, a waiter brought in iodine swabs and an ointment.Frank broke the swab, gently applied iodine to my wound, his long eyelashes casting shadows over his emotions. His voice, though somewhat muffled, was clear. “I can’t change how you lived before, but from now on, you need to take good care of yourself.”“Where you are careless, I will handle things for you.”I felt a shiver inside, my eyes welling up with tears. I pursed my lips, finding myself on the verge of crying.It turned out that people cried not only when they were sad.Before I could speak, the man’s large hand, which had always claimed to be incapable of handling delicate tasks like treating wounds, was now applying the ointment with skill. He was more meticulous than he ever was while signing billion-dollar contracts.The cool ointment spread through my lim

    After Alana took out her phone and called Alex, she walked over and said, “I asked your uncle to bring them to you. Don’t worry about causing trouble. Men are meant to be a hassle.”“You should also learn to trouble Frank more in the future. He’s the only one you can really get to move,” said Alana.When Alex brought the shoes over, the guests in the banquet hall hadn’t yet left.Alex had been inseparable from Yasmin all evening, referring to her as “big sister” and completely revealing the relationship between Yasmin and the Jackson family.As a result, everyone was even more determined to get on good terms with Yasmin. After all, Alex was famously meticulous and difficult to deal with.When Frank and I returned to Region Gardens, it was already past ten o’clock.In the elevator, I pressed the button for the sixth floor, but he didn’t press any floor button. When I looked at him in confusion, he pressed me against the elevator wall.His large hand held my waist against him, and

    Frank was being way too straightforward. I was a little drunk, but I still managed to lean on him and blush. “Up to you.””Up to me?” asked Frank. He then rubbed my ears and said in a hoarse voice, “Then both.”As soon as he finished speaking, he pinned me on the sofa.I felt the air getting thing and the temperature of the room slowly rising.Frank’s passionate kisses landed on me one after another.It didn’t take long for me to completely give in. “Frank...”When he looked up, his brown eyes were filled with intense desire, not allowing me to pull away. He pressed against my ear, his breath hot and heavy, “Charlotte… Charlotte…”The pain brought a moment of clarity, only to be instantly overwhelmed by intense pleasure.At that moment, the two of us were the most intimate person to each other.I picked me up and went into the bathroom. My mind was blank and I was pinned to the wall after entering the bathroom.I had lost all my strength. “No, Frank. I’m exhausted...”“Alrig

    Jonathan almost spit out the tea he was drinking."You have principles now?""Not the right time to talk nonsense."Westley. "Do you always talk in a way that pokes others' pain points?"Jonathan smiled for a moment. "If you've done it, don't be afraid of people talking about it."Westley didn't want to continue the conversation and stood up to leave.He went to the kitchen to find Jordan and found her eating ravioli."Didn't you say you'd help?" Westley sat next to her. "How come you're eating secretly? Give me a bite?"Jordan guarded the food. "It’s in the kitchen. There's still plenty in the pot.""But I want to eat from your bowl.""But I don't want to give you any."Westley laughed. "Okay."But while Jordan took a bite of the ravioli, he kissed her.Jordan's eyes widened as she felt the ravioli in her mouth being stolen away."You're disgusting."Westley smiled. "Sweet."Jordan couldn't eat anymore and pushed the remaining ravioli to him. "I'm not eating anymore."

    Now that she had remarried him, this was also her home, and there was no need to tidy up anymore."Really?" Westley turned her around. "It'll be troublesome to go to another room and come back for something later.""What do you mean?" Jordan felt like she didn't understand his words today. "Just spill it already."Westley nodded seriously. "Okay, I'll spill it. We're married now. From now on, when we come back here, we'll sleep together. If you don't tidy up and pack your things, there won't be anything for you in my room."Jordan understood. She suddenly smiled and patted his shoulder. "Who said that after marriage, we have to sleep in the same bed? If there's nothing of mine in your room, I'll sleep in my own room. It's not like you only have one room."Westley laughed. "Okay, you're being naughty now."Jordan replied, "You become like the people you spend time with."She finished speaking and ran off.She went to the kitchen to see Miranda and offer to help.Miranda told he

    "What is there to prepare?" Westley sat down with Jordan. "They're not strangers."Miranda gave her a glare and handed Jordan some fruit. "Look at me, still wearing my pajamas...""Jordy, it's not that I don't care about you. It's just that Westley didn't say anything, and you two... we also didn't want to ask too much. Wait for me to change into something proper. What would you like to eat? I'll personally cook for you."Jordan quickly stopped her. "No need, we're so familiar with each other already, Mom."Miranda froze, then after a long pause, she grasped Jordan's hand, wiping her tears as she said, “Okay.”Jordan gave Westley a look, and he handed her a tissue.She wiped Miranda's tears. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you worry.""It's our fault," Miranda patted her hand. "We never thought that Westley would do that.""You two grew up together and had a great relationship. We always thought, when we're gone, he'll be able to love you and take care of you well on our beha

    Jordan asked him, "You finished so quickly?""Why does it sound like you're unhappy that I came over?""No, it's just that your meetings used to take quite a long time."Westley casually ruffled her hair.Jordan wasn't happy. "You messed up my hairstyle!"Westley chuckled softly. "You're just had your hair down. Is it even styled?""You don't understand.""Alright, I don't understand."Westley pulled her back to the bedroom.Jordan wasn't happy. When they were going upstairs, he carried her back to the room."Do you really like kids that much?"Jordan put her hands against him to stop him from getting any closer."What, can't I like kids now? Henry and Sparrow are so cute."Westley caught both her hands and pinned them down. "Then should we have one too?"Jordan struggled. "Who said I want to have one with you?""Then who do you want to have one with?"Jordan kicked him with her leg. "Get off me."Westley bent down and asked, "Afraid of the pain?""Yes." Jordan was pi

    Jordan didn't really know—she had only come here to escape.Now, there wasn't much left to escape from.If it weren't for wanting to spend a few more days with Jane and the others, she would have already been ready to go back to work.Westley saw that she had been thinking for a long time without speaking and asked, "So, are you coming with me to the theme park, or playing with those two kids?"Jordan almost forgot—there were two adorable children here."Then I'll play with the kids.""What, still think I'm too old?"Jordan gave him a playful glare. "Stop bringing that up all the time. Don't think you can keep me trapped with that topic."Westley asked, "Then why not come to the theme park with me?""Weren't you the one who gave me the choice?"Jordan gave a soft snort. "If you only want one answer, then next time give me just one option.""Alright." Westley looked at her with eyes full of affection. "Whatever you say goes.""I've got a meeting—you go play with the kids."

    It felt very unreal.It felt like she was dreaming."Will you marry me?""Huh?"Jordan was completely dazed, thinking she would hear him say a lot of touching words.But in the end, all she heard were just those simple words."Are you... talking?"Westley nodded. "Yes. Will you marry me?"For a moment, Jordan truly wanted to throw the flowers at his face.But then she remembered her conversation with Charlotte.And she felt that Charlotte had a point.They were already married, yet Westley still wanted to give her a sense of ceremony.Even if he didn't say any romantic lines, she wouldn't be able to refuse his proposal now.With that thought in mind, she reached out her hand."I will!"Westley slipped the ring onto her finger, stood up, and hugged her.Jordan heard him whisper softly in her ear. "I'm really nervous. It's my first time doing something like this, so I don’t know what to say—I was afraid I'd cry. Give me a little grace. Whatever you want to hear, I'll say

    "Okay."Jordan started to feel something was off. "Charlotte, I remember you didn't like the smell of cigarettes. Didn't Frank stop smoking after being with you?"Charlotte responded calmly, "Not really. If I didn't like the smell of cigarettes, I wouldn't have gotten along with Jane for so many years. She was already smoking when I first met her. Also, Frank didn't stop smoking just because he was with me. It was only later, when I was pregnant and feeling unwell, that he stayed by my side and simply forgot about it. Men have a lot of work pressure too. If he smokes now and out of my sight, I think I should try to understand that. That's what being a couple means."Jordan was persuaded. "Yeah, I guess you’re right. There should be mutual understanding. I do act a bit spoiled sometimes."Charlotte said, "When I talk about understanding, I don't mean compromise. If there's something you really can't accept, it still needs to be discussed between the two of you."Jordan was confused

    "Wow."Jane and Charlotte stood at the doorway, watching with great interest.It was quite the appetizing show.Zachary and Frank, on the other hand, weren't interested, and headed to the yard to set up the grill.Frank chatted casually with him. "He's been proving himself for two days now—why do you keep poking at his age? He even made you bleed."Zachary said, "I did it for the greater good. Look at them now, kissing like they can't bear to part."Frank cocked his brows and said nothing in response.Jordan overheard Jane and Charlotte's voices.Her face turned completely red from embarrassment.She couldn't push Westley away, so she had no choice but to bite him.When he relaxed his grip, she took the chance to run.She didn't even dare glance at Jane and Charlotte at the door.Back in her room, she buried herself under the blanket.So embarrassing.Downstairs, Jane and Charlotte, satisfied with the show, headed to the yard.Westley, meanwhile, went upstairs.Sure eno

    'What was that?'Jordan truly had nothing in her head but confusion.She had just been teased by Jane outside.She thought that since she hadn't come downstairs in the past couple of days, everyone already knew—Westley was... not impotent.Why was Frank saying things like that now?"Frank, what are you talking about?""Nothing."Frank left the kitchen and sat next to Charlotte.After Jane finished tending to Zachary's wound, she even fed him some food.The man held his wife in his arms and asked in a low voice, "All your friends are bringing their husbands food. Why aren't you doing the same?"Charlotte smiled. "That's because Jane took a bite and didn't like it. She thought it would be wasteful, so she gave it to Zachary."Frank played with her hand and asked, "Is there nothing you don't like to eat?""Nope."In the kitchen—Jordan sensed that Westley was upset. She reached out and hugged him, asking, "Did Zachary and the others tease you?"Westley finished handling wha
