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 We’re in Cheria, not abroad.”“Yes, sir.”The gun was withdrawn from my head.But as I looked at K, I felt a shiver run down my spine.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

I sighed, looking at Jack. “Jack, thank you for today. Your injury… it’s also because you were saving me. If there’s anything you need help with, don’t hesitate to call me.”“Okay.”Jack gave a gentle smile and glanced toward the emergency room. “Since Mr. Smith is here with you, I’ll leave for now. I’ll be in Jeswood for a while, so if you need anything, feel free to contact me.”“Jack, take care of your injury.”Frank casually placed a large hand on my shoulder. “If she needs anything, I’ll take care of it. It’s unlikely it will trouble Jack.”Jack cocked his brows. “Well, I’m not sure about that.”With that, he said his goodbyes and left.Once he was gone, my thoughts were entirely on Grandma. I had no idea how things were going in the emergency room.According to K, the drug injected into Grandma shouldn’t cause immediate death. But if it was poison, getting the antidote wouldn’t be easy…Thinking about this made me feel anxious.The large hand resting on my shoulder tigh

The assistant quickly said, “Yes, I’ll convey your message to them right away.”When the car arrived at Sky Island Villa, the villa’s owner was quite ostentatious, leaving the front door wide open. However, there were several black-clad men patrolling the grounds.Jack’s anger could no longer be suppressed, nor did he need to.“Y.”“Y!”Seeing Jack get out of the car, the black-clad men all respectfully greeted him.K was leisurely lounging on the sofa, his legs propped up on the coffee table, and his body shaking involuntarily. He saw Jack stride in with purpose!Before he could even sit up, a punch slammed into his temple!This was clearly aimed at taking his life.K wasn’t known for his patience either and was about to retaliate, but he still hesitated. He covered his forehead and glared at Jack, shouting, “Are you crazy?”“Crazy?” Jack pressed the gun against K’s forehead with a fierce look in his eyes, growling in a low voice, “I think you’re the one asking for death! Wh

Although K had been affiliated with Jack for many years, he was still over 20 years older and could read some of his thoughts.K had always known that Jack was ruthless, but he wasn’t sure just how deeply he felt about Ms. Wilson. He wondered when Jack’s patience would completely wear thin and when he would use direct methods instead of weaving a complex web as he was doing now.Jack put the medicine bottle into his suit pocket and stood up under K’s probing gaze. “I’m leaving.”K asked, “What about the next steps?”“Your priority…” Jack glanced towards the courtyard and coldly reminded him. “Is to immediately move your people to another location.”“Move?” K frowned. “The Smith family has already searched this place. It’s much safer here than anywhere else.”Jack tossed the remaining half of his cigar into the ashtray and said with displeasure, “Do you think Frank is easy to deal with?”“Do you think he can’t think of things you can?”With that, Jack checked the time and warned

“Alright.”Later, Grandma was moved from the emergency room to a VIP ward. Her face was pale, but she was conscious.Before I could get close, Yasmin, Alex, and Yale had arrived.“Charlotte!”When Yasmin heard the news, she rushed over, her eyes red with anxiety. Seeing me, she hugged me tightly, “You scared me! Why didn’t you contact me when something happened? You put yourself at risk—what if something had happened to you? What would I have done?”“Mom…” I clenched my fists. I had been used to facing everything alone before and wasn’t quite used to asking for help. “I’m sorry. I was so anxious at the time that I didn’t think it through.”“Foolish girl!”Yasmin released me, gently wiped away her tears, and gave me a serious warning, “In the future, don’t do this again, understand?”My eyes felt warm, and I nodded vigorously. “Okay!”I then looked somewhat guiltily at Alex, “Uncle Alex…”“What are you feeling guilty about? I won’t have a go at you.”After introducing me to Y

Caleb was thinking that in the future, he could let her drink a little more.Of course, only when he was around.She looked kind of cute like this."I did say that, but didn't you just say you wanted to thank me?"Whitney felt that alcohol really wasn't a good thing.Even when hanging out with Jane and the others, she decided not to drink too much anymore.The rationality and logic that she was so proud of had completely vanished.She had never been as calm in front of Caleb as she was with others.Besides, there was a power imbalance between her and him.If she were sober, she wouldn't have been able to reject him anyway.Let alone now, when her mind was muddled.But maybe because she was muddled, she dared to say things that she didn’t usually dare to say."I just lost my balance earlier, and you helped me. Even if you don't accept verbal gratitude, that doesn't mean I owe you something this big."Caleb saw she could barely stand, so he held her by the waist to keep her

"But your reaction just now didn’t seem like you knew I was here."Jane tried to pull her leg back, but when she couldn't, she slapped him in frustration."It was called acting, understand? I didn't want you to look embarrassed, so I got those two out of the way first."Zachary rubbed her ankle with his thumb, as if he believed her. "Then should I be thanking you—for being so considerate?"Jane couldn't be bothered to argue. "Let go. I want to drink.""I'll drink with you."Meanwhile, Frank held Charlotte close and asked in a low voice, "Did she really know we were here?"Charlotte nodded. "What do you think? You really think Jane would mess around during her marriage? She might be bold, but she has boundaries. But you guys really are annoying."Frank hooked her chin with his thumb. "I knew it. You're being cold to me because you're sick of me. I've said it so many times, and you still wouldn't admit it."After saying that, he picked her up and walked out of the bar.He hadn'

Charlotte nudged him with her elbow, warning him not to stir things up.Jordan truly didn't dare to stay any longer. "Westley, take me home.""Okay." Westley finally got up. "You all take your time. If it gets too late, don't go back to the old house—just find a place to crash.""But..." Jordan suddenly felt like leaving wasn't such a good idea. "Maybe I'll stay and play a bit more."Westley simply dragged her out."Jane and Zachary...""You can't control what they do, so why bother worrying over nothing?"Jordan was settled into the passenger seat, her seatbelt fastened firmly.She didn't resist, mostly because she felt what Westley said made sense.Jane was way more capable than she was. This kind of minor drama would be easy for her to handle.Plus, with the smart and composed Charlotte around—It was better if she didn't add to the chaos.Once Westley got into the driver's seat, she asked, "Why did you guys show up? Especially you—didn't you say no seeing each other a w

But it was just a polite gesture—if they had been singing inside, they wouldn't have heard her anyway.So after knocking, she pushed the door open and went in.Charlotte and the others followed to take a look.When they saw the scene inside, they gasped.The four men from home were sitting around a cards table, all eyes on the door, each with a different expression.Zachary looked at Jane, who entered first, and said with a smile, "Honey, pick someone you like and give him a kiss."Jane took a step back and bumped into Charlotte's arms.That was when she noticed the big screen beside them—it was showing their own private room."You were watching us?"Zachary tapped the cards on the table with his long fingers, still smiling."If we weren't watching, how would we get to enjoy such an entertaining scene?"They had all been drinking.Whitney didn't hold her liquor well. She was already a little dazed. Although the room was fairly bright, everything seemed a little off to her.

Caleb didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Westley and played a card.Westley won.And it was a big pot as well.He cocked his brows. "Is this your wedding gift to me, Caleb?"Caleb asked, "Your wedding—Dr. Greyson won't be absent, will he? I heard you two are very close. You've been at death's door multiple times, and he's the one who saved you."Westley nodded. "Theoretically, yes. But I'm not sure if he might have some emergency.""Besides, it's not like you, Caleb, can't reach him. You helped him last time. It's impossible he'd ignore you now."Caleb could contact Carter, but if he did, it would mean helping Carter meet Mandy.He had no interest in meddling in romantic matters—too troublesome.But he couldn't get in touch with Tanner at all.Technically, there was no real need for him to attend Westley's wedding.Even if Whitney was invited by Jane, he himself wasn't obligated.He simply wanted to go, hoping to "accidentally" run into Carter.That way, it wouldn't loo

Frank pulled her into his arms and asked, "You really have to go out for drinks?"Charlotte nodded. "It's a girls-only night. No men allowed.""Oh?" The man repeated slowly and deliberately, "No… men… allowed?"Charlotte saw the look on his face and knew exactly what he was thinking."Only women. Even the drinks are for women.""Oh? Tell me, how do you tell if a drink is male or female?"Charlotte lightly patted his face twice. "The drinks women drink are for women. Got it?"Frank laughed. "Got it."Over on Jane's end, after finishing her call, she was about to go look for Jordan, but Zachary pulled her into the room and pinned her against the wall.His warm lips covered hers, then quickly pulled away.With his forehead against hers, the man asked, "Going out for drinks?"Jane hooked his chin with her finger. "What, Mr. Collins, trying to seduce your way into a drinking invitation?"Zachary chuckled lowly, kissed her again, and asked, "May I?""No."Jane rejected him comp

Jordan had grown up in the Howard family, but the person who had taken care of her since she was little had an old house.She arranged for Jane and the others to stay there, and she would also be getting married from that house.She didn't have many friends. Originally, Leanne was supposed to be her bridesmaid. Although she had a child, she had never been married.But Leanne wasn't sure if she could make it back in time, so she let Jane and Charlotte take over as substitutes for now. They would adjust accordingly later."Try on the dress. If there's a problem, I can still make adjustments."With the help of the two of them, Jordan put on the wedding dress.But Jane was most looking forward to the wedding dress.Both her and Charlotte's weddings were going to be Cherian style.Jordan, however, wanted a Western-style one.And Charlotte, who had designed clothes for many years, had never actually designed a wedding dress before.This was her first attempt, and she was very excit

"Okay, I won't bring it up anymore."Westley walked over with Jonathan and sat down.Miranda was very satisfied. "Finally, Jordy can have dinner with me again."Jordan smiled. "I'm also happy. I can still call you Mom.""Then let's drink to that.""Okay."Westley waited for the "mother and daughter" to finish speaking, then threw out a big announcement. "By the way, our wedding is on the 22nd of next month."Clang!The spoon in Miranda's hand fell."What did you say?""On the 22nd of next month, Jordy and I are getting married. We sincerely invite you and your husband to attend."Jordan was also shocked.She only knew that Charlotte's dress was being made, and they were picking the wedding date.But Westley hadn't told her about this in advance."Next month, it's almost the New Year.""Yes, it's a wedding before the New Year. Then we'll celebrate the New Year at home. I'm informing you in advance, my dear mom. You can prepare for the the New Year Eve dinner.""The New Y

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."
