Chapter 523

Author: Lean
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

    As I was about to open the driver's side door, Jack stopped me and gestured with his chin. “You sit in the passenger seat. I’ll drive.”“Alright, thank you, Jack.”I glanced at him gratefully and did not refuse.I was too concerned about my grandmother’s safety. Driving while distracted would be too dangerous.On the way to the abandoned factory, I first sent a message to Jane, informing her that I wouldn’t be able to make it and that she should make her own decision.Then I called Frank.However, the phone rang until a mechanical female voice answered, “Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later…”I felt an inexplicable surge of anxiety. I was even afraid that something might have happened to Frank as well.Jack, with both hands on the steering wheel, glanced at me with a gentle expression and asked, “Did you call Frank? Did he not answer?”“Yeah…” I nodded absently.Jack understood. “Don’t worry too much. With the patent infringement issue

    As we neared the abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city, Jane called me.She asked urgently, “Charlotte, you said something happened to Grandma. What’s going on? Isn’t she at the nursing home?”“Grandma has been kidnapped.”I was feeling anxious and explained as briefly as I could, “I suspect it’s the work of Bethany and Simone. They’ve informed me to go to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.”“That’s so damn despicable! Why keep targeting an elderly person over and over?”Jane was furious and quickly asked, “Where are you now? Does Frank know about this? I’m coming over to meet you immediately!”“Frank doesn’t know yet. He’s probably too overwhelmed with the patent infringement issue to notice the phone.”As I saw the car approaching the location provided, I said, “I’m almost at the abandoned factory on the outskirts. You don’t need to come; I’m not alone. I happened to run into Jack, and he’s coming with me.”“Jack? He’s in Jeswood?”“Yes.”The car ca

    As Alan stood outside the conference room, he glanced towards the door with a troubled expression. "They’re having a shareholders’ meeting. The issue with the M398 chip had caused such a stir that Frank initially wanted to halt production immediately. However, several major shareholders disagree, and there might be someone behind the scenes influencing the PL Group. They refused to negotiate and directly proceeded with an appeal, causing the stock to drop eight points right after the market opened. Frank’s faction is seizing the opportunity to attack and trying to drive Frank out of the Smith Group.”The situation now was one of both internal and external troubles.“Damn, this is really like crossing the river and tearing down the bridge,” Charlie cursed, feeling frustrated. Now he knew why Frank didn’t answer Charlotte’s calls.However, Charlie didn’t forget the main issue. “But you need to go into the meeting room right away and inform him that something urgent has happened to his

    As Luke leaned on the conference table, his body swayed slightly, and the next moment, he collapsed onto the floor, unconscious.The conference room erupted into chaos!Two years ago, when Sir Smith fell ill and Frank was reported dead in the explosion, Luke had become the head of the Smith Group. Despite Frank's recent return to the company, the media still closely followed Luke.Moreover, with the fluctuations in the Smith Group stock price, his sudden collapse and bleeding were quickly reported by the media as soon as he was rushed to the hospital by an ambulance.Many investors panicked and sold off their shares, with some who had been waiting on the sidelines deciding to sell immediately.With Luke down, the Smith Group seemed to be in utter disarray. If the funding chain broke, bankruptcy might be imminent!Someone quickly leaked information anonymously, claiming that Luke was driven to collapse by his own son, not due to business matters, but because of a woman—specificall

    Immediately, one of the men led us inside and up a staircase without any railings. As I looked up, I saw a middle-aged man with a fierce expression, sitting with his legs crossed in a chair, and my grandma, bound and unconscious, lying nearby!“Grandma!” I quickly moved towards her.Her body couldn’t handle such treatment!However, before I could get closer, a gun was pressed against my temple as a warning.“Jake!”The middle-aged man, who initially seemed indifferent, slowly lowered his legs and smiled. “What are you doing? Ms. Wilson is just worried about her grandma. There’s no need to pull out a gun right away. We’re in Cheria, not abroad.”“Yes, sir.”The gun was withdrawn from my head.But as I looked at K, I felt a shiver run down my spine. Although he was smiling, his gaze was as venomous and frightening as a scorpion’s.He lit a cigar and said, “Ms. Wilson, are you afraid of me?”“You called me here, and I came.”I didn’t want to answer unnecessary questions and got

    I instinctively looked at Jack and asked this question.This K had never appeared before. From his subordinates, it was clear he wasn't affiliated with Zack's forces.Jack furrowed his brows slightly, about to respond, when K's smile grew even deeper, making him seem intimidating. “Everyone knows the famous Mr. Renolds. Besides, if I’m going to deal with you, I naturally need to understand the people around you.”Jack, whose usually gentle demeanor was now cold and menacing, said in a harsh tone, “Release her.”“Release her?”K wiped the blood from his split lip and leisurely walked back to his chair, raising an eyebrow at Jack. “Mr. Renolds, how about we make a deal?”Jack replied, “What deal?”“We work together. You help me take down the Shaw family.”K glanced at me meaningfully and continued, “I can have Ms. Wilson delivered to your home and erase all traces of her disappearance without anyone knowing. Neither the Smith family nor the Frost family would be able to find her.

    “Frank...” Seeing him arrive, I felt much more at ease and said calmly, “They injected something into Grandma. I don’t know what it is.”“Oh.” K feigned surprise and said, “Mr. Smith really loves his wife. He dares to come here alone?”As he said, he had investigated everyone around me thoroughly.Frank ignored him and released me. He took measured steps toward K, his voice initially sounding bold and casual but hiding an almost imperceptible rage. “I dare to come, so I naturally can leave in one piece. You’d better worry about yourself.”“I…” K was about to shout something when he suddenly realized something and his expression darkened. “Where are the people I arranged downstairs?”“Perhaps they are injured or dead.” Frank smirked disdainfully. “In any case, no one can come up to help you now.”K was stunned. “Impossible!”Frank replied, “Don’t believe me? Try it.”K didn’t need to try because Frank appearing on the second floor without any warning was evidence enough. Howev

    The fireworks were dazzling and brilliant.Westley looked up in a certain direction.At the moment the fireworks bloomed, a figure appeared in the window of that place.Jordan couldn’t sleep because of Westley’s injury.As she tossed and turned in bed, a sudden bright light appeared in front of the window.She walked over to the window, opened it, and saw the fireworks bursting in the night sky.There seemed to be a few figures on the beach.But Westley was tall enough that she could spot him at a glance.At that moment, she forgot to watch the fireworks.It was only when Westley raised his hand and pointed upward that she looked up.She realized that the fireworks formed a few words.“I’m sorry, Jordan.”“Happy birthday.”Jordan had originally planned to spend her birthday with Nathan and Jane.But when she was brought over by Westley, she completely forgot about her birthday.She glanced at the time, and it was exactly midnight.Her birthday had begun.The night sky

    Jordan had eaten and drunk enough and was about to return to her room.Westley called out to her."Wait a moment."Jordan ignored him and kept on walking.But Westley grabbed her arms and she was pulled back.She lost her balance and fell into the man's arms.As she fell, she instinctively reached out to support herself.She felt something change under her hand.Jordan jumped up as if she had been burned.She forgot there was a grill nearby, and as she was about to fall into it, she was pulled away by a force.She only heard a series of cracking sounds, and she landed on something soft but firm.When she looked closely, it was Westley's chest. She was in his arms, and his tall frame was completely shielding her.Before she could react, Buck and the others arrived.The area was crowded."Quick, put out the fire!""Call a doctor. Don’t move Mr. Howard. Help Mrs. Howard up."Jordan was stunned as she was pulled up.It was then that she saw the scene on the ground.The gr

    Frank took the soup from her hands and drank it in a few gulps.Then he pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately.It had been several days since they had been close like this.The heat built up quickly.By the time Charlotte reacted, she was already lying on the bed.She covered his mouth and gently pushed him away a little."Let's finish talking about the important things.""This is the important thing," Frank said as he moved her hand away and pressed it on top of her head. He bent down and started unbuttoning her blouse."Frank..."Charlotte's voice was broken by his actions.After several days of separation, his movements were obviously more intense.She couldn't hold back, and the corners of her eyes filled with tears, as the wave of emotions overwhelmed her...Zachary set the food on the dining table and went to the bedroom to carry Jane out.But Jane wanted to walk by herself, and Zachary helped her sit down.Jane picked up her cutlery and started eatin

    "Mr. Jackson, what are you talking about? Westley isn’t a fool. Since he managed to take Jordan from your turf in Impelia, it shows he was well-prepared. This preparation probably started a long time ago, and once he found out you were Jordan's cousin, he just sped up the process."Nathan caught the key point. "So, you and Zachary both guessed that Westley would take Jordan and make all the necessary preparations, but you didn’t say a word?"Frank leaned against the doorframe lazily and said, "I don’t know, I’m not close to Westley. As for Zachary, I’m not sure either. Recently, he’s been too busy with his wife and hasn’t been drinking with me anymore."Nathan didn’t believe him, but didn’t say much.Westley taking Jordan from him was his fault.When he was younger, he couldn’t protect his cousin from being taken away.Now, even with power in his hands, he still couldn’t do anything.He had to ask others for help."You keep searching abroad, I’ll assist you domestically."

    On the small table beside them, there were several bottles cluttered around.There were no labels on them.Jordan was cautious and didn’t drink immediately. She picked up a bottle, sniffed it to make sure there was no alcohol smell before inserting the straw and sipping slowly.Westley lit a cigarette, biting it at the corner of his mouth. He flipped the lamb skewers over and sprinkled them with cumin.Watching her unnecessary actions, he laughed. "It doesn’t really matter if you’re drunk or not. On my turf, if I want to do something, do you think you can resist?"Jordan paused.She suddenly remembered that the bet wasn’t clearly defined.“Westley, you said that if I’m moved, but before I’m moved, you can’t do anything out of line. You’re clear about that, right?”Westley handed her the grilled lamb skewer and flicked the ash off his cigarette.He glanced at her and said deliberately, "Wrong."Jordan took a big bite of the lamb skewer.She couldn’t help but exclaim, "So deli

    Jordan finished her meal and was taken away by Westley.They took a helicopter and then transferred to a ship.In the end, she had no idea where they were.The journey was bumpy, and after days and nights, she was physically and mentally exhausted.Yet, she refused to say a word to Westley.She buried herself under the blankets.Everything she could say or do, she had already done.Now, she could only pray for heaven to open its eyes and make Westley a decent person, letting her go back."How about a bet?"Westley pulled the blanket off, helping her sit up."There are still some days before Jane gives birth.""We’ll forget our grudges for now. If, during this time, you can develop feelings for me, then you’ll lose, and we’ll remarry. If you don’t fall for me, I’ll let you go back."Jordan's mind was racing.She felt like Westley wouldn’t let her go so easily.But there was no flaw in his words.For her, it still seemed to give her an advantage.After all, she only felt

    Jane said lightly, “Do you think Westley would let you find him easily?”“No, but if we keep chasing him, we will eventually find him.” Zachary brought the food to her. “Eat something.”Jane refused his feeding, took the plate and ate by herself.Zachary then placed some more food in front of her.Jane said, “You don’t need to take care of me. I can eat by myself. You should eat too.”Those words made Zachary feel a sense of relief.It seemed she wasn’t angry, nor was she blaming him.“This matter was indeed my oversight. I thought that since Jordan was with your cousin in Impelia, Westley wouldn’t be able to reach her. But I never expected that he would be so bold and take Jordan away directly.”Jane understood. “You want me to put the blame on my cousin, right?”Zachary replied without changing his expression, “How could that be? This matter is entirely my responsibility.”Jane didn’t say anything, only remarking, “When I give birth, I want to see Jordan.”Zachary reassure

    Westley handed her the phone.“Tell him yourself.”Jordan was surprised the moment she took the phone, but then she realized something didn’t feel right.He gave it to her so easily...She snapped, “You did this on purpose!”Westley didn’t deny it.Jordan didn’t care much about that anymore and immediately dialed Zachary’s number.When Zachary saw the caller ID, his right eyelid twitched violently.Frank glanced at him. “Why aren’t you answering?”Zachary sighed in frustration. “Stop watching the show, you answer it.”Frank raised his hands. “My wife and your wife are on the same page.”Frank’s position was the same as Zachary’s. He didn’t dare answer the phone either.He pursed his lips as he didn’t have the right to criticize Frank.This phone felt like something that neither of them wanted to have anything to do with.In the end, Zachary still answered it.“Westley, you only have one chance...”“It’s me, Zachary.”Zachary thought something was terribly wrong. “Give

    Westley was indeed cunning, but when Zachary said he couldn’t guess Westley’s plan, that was purely pretending to be ignorant.Even he knew that intercepting a plane wouldn’t work.Since Nathan was pursuing so closely, if Westley wanted to take someone away, he must have prepared multiple plans.For example, parachuting mid-way.But he was enjoying watching the drama and didn’t expose it.“I do have some responsibility in this matter.” Nathan was always someone who took responsibility for his actions. “But the responsibility of not saving Jordan falls on you.”Zachary felt like his head was going to explode.He could roughly guess where Westley had parachuted.But that place had many landing spots, and it wasn’t something that could be found in just a day or two.Moreover, since Westley dared to take Jordan away from Nathan, he must have made detailed plans.Knowing they were searching, he would definitely change locations.This was a tug-of-war.It was hard to explain to J
