"That's even less likely."

Unless one day he learned the truth about his mother's death, maybe his attitude towards Jessica would change slightly. But before that, things would be difficult.

Speaking of which, I couldn't understand why Grandpa didn't tell Ryan. I would have to visit the Frost family's residence one day and ask.

As we finished eating, I returned to the main topic. "By the way, Jane, did you manage to get tickets for the concert?"

Jane had more connections within the company. When it came to finalizing the concert plans, I had to ask her to help me get tickets.

Jane gestured to the ceiling and complained, "I don't know what's going on with the tickets this time. Only the President's office has them, and they only have one per person."

"Only the President's office?"

"Yeah, if you really want them, why not take advantage of Ryan while he's wanting to please you? Ask him, he'll surely provide as many as you need."

"I think I'll pass."

It was better for me and Ryan

    Ryan was drugged.It was a drug that would make anyone feel aroused.With Ryan's decisive nature in the business world, when he came to his senses the next day, the other party would not have a good ending.However, now wasn't the time to think about those things.Looking at Ryan's face, which was unusually red. I was worried that he wouldn't survive tonight.When I was in a dilemma, the phone that I left in the bedroom rang loudly. Seeing the caller ID, I felt like I had found my savior, so I quickly answered the call."Babe, I got the tickets. Tom has some...""Jane!" I couldn't wait to interrupt. "Do you know what to do if someone's drugged?""What kind of drug?""What kind of drug?""Aphrodisiac..."I had trouble opening my mouth.Jane in all likelihood was drinking. She choked and coughed repeatedly. "Ahem, why are you suddenly asking such a question... cough cough cough, you...""No, no." I thought of the man on the sofa who was hot and couldn't care less anymore. "I

    But we were obviously going to be divorced.I wanted to push him but didn’t have the strength. I was so desperate that I wanted to cry. "Don t, Ryan, I don t want it!""Don't cry... do you really not want it?" His Adam’s apple bobbed. His eyes were red, looking deeply at me. I could see that he was trying to restrain himself."Yes...""Okay."He closed his eyes, veins popping on his forehead. His breathing was ragged as hell, but he slowly let go of me.I squeezed my palms lightly. "So, you...""Charlotte."He suddenly opened his eyes, his lust not only did not fade, but it became even worse. He pulled me into his arms, his lips pressed against my ear. "Help me, okay?"Perhaps it was because my brain was a bit chaotic, I actually felt he was begging me.My heart skipped a beat. "How, how can I help?"The words became a promise in the man's consciousness as he leaned down and scooped me up with his hands through the hollows of my knees.Suddenly suspended in the air, I subco

    I had completely forgotten about this matter.I didn't expect him to still remember.I wiped the water off my face with a soft towel. "It's okay, I'm fine."He frowned. "Weren't you feeling unwell last night?"I couldn't say that the doctor advised against sexual activities during the first three months of pregnancy.I could find an excuse for it. "I'm fine now."He didn't seem to believe me. "Really?"If I were to go, he would definitely take me to a private hospital owned by the Frost Group, using the VIP channel.No waiting in line and the medical reports would come out very quickly.But that way, I couldn't possibly hide the fact that I was pregnant."I don't want to go, I don't like going to hospitals." I avoided his gaze."Charlotte." Ryan squinted his eyes. "Are you hiding something from me?"Thud!His question was too sudden, I got nervous, and the skincare product in my hand fell onto the marble countertop. It made my heart skip a beat.My guilt was too obvious.

    His eyes were dark. "Can't it be for some other reason?""Such as?" I didn't deny the fact that I was testing him.He pursed his lips. "I just want you to be healthy.""Sounds just like a birthday wish for elders at home."A thought crossed my mind and I smiled instantly. "Save that for next month at Grandpa's birthday banquet."Wishing for my health.Wishing for a hundred years of harmony with Jessica?When the nurse came to draw blood, as she disinfected my arm, I instinctively recoiled, my body tensing up.I had been afraid of needles since I was little.When I had fallen ill as a child, Dad would hold me, Mom would hold my other hand, comforting me during injections or blood tests.There would even be rewards.In the years since then, my health has been decent. I could handle common colds, and even with severe ones, I could just make do with some normal medicine. I rarely needed to draw blood.But I was still afraid of needles.However, I had already grown up. I was sc

    In a daze, I thought of the past.Back then, Ryan and I had only been married for six months. My period was delayed by about 10 days. Even though he always used protection, I still faintly wondered if I might be pregnant each time. When I bought the pregnancy test kit, I was eager to share the news of being pregnant with him.Now that I really was pregnant, thinking about Ryan standing just a door away, I couldn't muster any excitement or joy. All I felt was fear and nervousness about what unexpected changes might come.The worst outcome would be losing this child.The mere two and a half years had turned everything upside down as if we were from different worlds now.My legs felt like lead as I walked to the door, my emotions complex, but I found no sign of Ryan outside! Where was he?All that remained was my handbag, left alone on the metal bench by the door.Had he left?I pulled out my phone from the bag, a message was on the screen."I have some urgent business. After the

    I wanted to give him a second chance for the child and for myself.Jane didn't try to dissuade me, she simply asked, "Have you thought about the consequences if it doesn't work out?""Yeah, I've thought about it."If things didn't go as expected, I would disappear completely to avoid any possibility of losing the child.With this decision made, I lost all desire to go home and cook. I casually ate a salad in the neighborhood and then retreated to the sofa at home.While waiting for Ryan to return, I immersed myself in work with my laptop.I waited until the afternoon, but there was still no sign of him at the door.Unable to resist, I sent Ryan a message. "Are you coming back soon?"I waited for a while but didn’t receive any replies.What urgent matter could keep him this busy? I hadn't heard from Jane that anything had gone wrong at the company.With autumn days growing shorter and nights longer, the sun began to set by five o'clock.The orange sunset poured in. Outside th

    I don't know how much time had passed before a nurse from the operating room came out calling names."Is Jessica's husband here?"Ryan walked up in big strides. "Doctor! I'm here."Those four words pierced my heart like daggers. The pain caused me to find it difficult to breathe.All the waiting throughout the day and the decision I had finally made became a joke at this moment.Standing there made me feel like I was a clown.We weren’t divorced just yet.My husband had already become someone else's husband.Not far away, he asked desperately, "How is she? Is it serious?""She lost a lot of blood, what do you think? But fortunately, you brought her to the hospital in time, she's fine now." After a short pause, the nurse added as if to reassure him, "The child is fine too."‘Child?’‘Jessica is pregnant?’‘They have a child now?’I couldn’t breathe and looked awkwardly at Ryan.He breathed a sigh of relief, his face finally softened a little. "That's good."Maybe my gaze

    He wore a beige casual suit that accentuated his tall and elegant figure, exuding warmth and refinement.He smiled gently. "A friend is hospitalized, so I came to visit.""Oh, I see.""And what about you? Why are you here alone at the hospital?"I raised the medical report in my hand. "I came to pick up my health examination report."Jack's expression became serious. "Everything alright?""Yes."I had just undergone a company health check, and this time, like the last, everything was within normal range.Except that there was a child in my womb now.Jack nodded. "Have you eaten yet? How about we grab a bite together? Tom and Jane will also be joining us."He had probably added the second sentence to avoid suspicion.I rubbed my stomach, feeling a bit hungry, "Sure."I didn't know what to eat if I went home alone.Besides, with more people around, it wouldn't be so easy to get lost in thoughts.Jack handed the car over to his assistant to drive back, then rode with me to t

    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. Even if he wants to find her today, he won't be able to, and it

    The landlord nodded understandingly. "You young people do have a lot of new ideas."They chatted casually and soon reached the large square.The stage had already been set up.They had arrived early, but there were already a lot of people gathered.Jane commented, "It's quite formal."The landlord proudly replied, "This isn't just a community event, there are even celebrities."Jane became a little curious and wanted to see what celebrities were here.It turned out to be an R-list boy band, along with a few elderly artists.Well, it was still a big stage.She watched for a while, but soon lost interest. She made an excuse to go to the bathroom.Under the cover of night, she wandered around.She spotted a small shop and bought a bag of cheese-flavored chips to eat.This kind of life, she thought, couldn't last long. She hoped Zachary would hurry up and get married, so he would stop bothering her."Jane..." Jane was lost in thought when the voice startled her, almost caus

    "Stop dreaming."Lexi, despite her feelings for Zachary, couldn't suppress her anger anymore."You want to marry that woman? That's nothing but wishful thinking."Zachary's gaze was icy, and every word he spoke, from his thin lips, carried a chilling frost."Her name is Jane."Lexi, at this point in her life, had never met a man who not only showed no interest in her but also repeatedly poked at her vulnerabilities."The more you protect her, the more dangerous she becomes. My offer won't change. You'll come to me eventually."With that, she turned, her heels clicking sharply as she walked toward the door."Excuse me, open the door."Sean opened the door.Lexi held her head high as she walked downstairs.Sean was about to close the door when Zachary threw the food outside.He even "thoughtfully" closed the door after that.When Rebecca saw the untouched food that Sean had brought down, she couldn't help but feel some pity."Not eating yet?"She had just praised Lexi for

    Zachary didn't respond.He reached for another cigarette, preparing to light it.Lexi stretched her hand out, but he shifted his body to avoid her."You really have no taste. No wonder you were dumped."Zachary's brows lowered slightly, and he sat down on the sofa, exhaling a puff of white smoke.Lexi was very angry.But when she turned to see him sitting on the sofa, his legs casually crossed, and an air of inexplicable decadence around him, her anger faded a little.With his handsome face and indifferent demeanor, he was enough to attract attention.The thing about him was that, once someone developed feelings for him, even flaws they couldn't tolerate before would become bearable.Lexi didn't go over to snatch the cigarette from his hand.But despite liking Zachary, she still didn’t like the smell of cigarettes.Standing at the foot of the bed, she looked at him and said, "Marry me."Zachary only sneered.Lexi, unbothered, continued, "You don't want to keep being forced

    But at the last two steps, Sean let go of him.He stretched his wrist, which had been twisted, and turned to go upstairs.Sean blocked the stairs with a smile. "Mr. Collins, your blind date is already here. If I drag you downstairs, you'll be embarrassed."Zachary stayed silent for a few seconds, then turned and walked down the last two steps, heading into the living room.His father wasn't there. His grandparents were seated on a two-person sofa, and Rebecca sat on the central long sofa, with three people beside her. He glanced past them without looking closely.Not wanting to sit on the single sofa, he leaned against the stairs and stood.Rebecca smiled apologetically, stood up, and dragged Zachary to sit beside a young woman."This is Lexi Sanchez, the granddaughter of your grandfather's comrade-in-arms. You two used to set off fireworks together when you were kids."Zachary didn't even look at her, replying coldly, "When we were kids, all the children in the compound set of
