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

    Julie said with tears in her eyes, “Madam Smith has urged him so many times, hoping he would settle down and start a family. Now, it’s finally happening. Frank has really endured a lot!”“Julie…”Frank came out wearing a shirt, and said helplessly, “You can say what you want, but why are you crying? It sounds like you’re saying I’m a pathetic person no one wants.”“I’m just happy for you!”Julie shot him a reproachful look, quickly pouring him another glass of water. “The old lady and the others will definitely be very happy when they find out…”Frank interrupted, “Please don’t tell them yet.”“Aren’t you going to tell your family?”Julie looked surprised and widened her eyes. “I think Charlotte is also a good girl from a respectable family. Don’t be like Charlie and his playboy ways!”Frank put down his glass, “Where did you get that idea? It’s just not the right time yet. Do you know what the current situation is with the Smith family?”Julie sighed in relief. “I see. I just

    I was extremely anxious and didn’t have time to think about anything else. I quickly said, “There’s indeed a problem. My grandmother is missing.”“Don’t worry. I’ll help you look for her.”“But aren’t you here on a business trip? You should take care of your own matters first…”“It’s fine. Your grandmother’s disappearance is a major issue. Let’s not waste any time. Let’s go!” Jack patted my shoulder and went with me into the nursing home.In the ward, only Prof. Kilburn and his assistant were present. When Prof. Kilburn saw me, his brows furrowed tightly. “Ms. Wilson, what exactly is going on? How could Madam Shaw go missing at such a critical time in her recovery?”“Prof. Kilburn, I’m sorry. I just received the news.”I looked around the ward. There were no signs of disorder, which made me even more anxious.Before making any assumptions, I confirmed the situation with Prof. Kilburn. “Professor, considering my grandmother’s current recovery, is it possible she became disoriente

    "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

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.
