Chapter 533

Author: Lean
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

    Undoubtedly, the message was from K.Frank took the phone from me and made a return call— No answer.I took back the phone and went to the balcony to dial Simone's number.Hearing my voice, Simone seemed in a bad mood and was even a bit surprised. “Charlotte, you’re still alive…”Her voice suddenly stopped. “Why are you calling me?”It was a feigned question.I had no intention of beating around the bush. I said, “Simone, I know you want to fight for the Shaw family’s inheritance for Bethany. Fine, I promise you, I will give all of the portion from Grandma’s will that is meant for me to Bethany. Is that acceptable?”“Oh?” Upon hearing this, Simone seemed pleased and replied languidly, “Are you negotiating with me, or are you… asking me?”I looked at Grandma, who was quietly sleeping, and suppressed my anger. “You can think of it as whatever you like. I only need the antidote right now. Simone, if something really happens to Grandma, it won’t be good for you either, right?”The

    Frank didn’t move, just looked at me with lowered eyes and a stern expression. “Charlotte, are you trying to scare me to death?”“I’m sorry.” I knew he was referring to what happened earlier. I reached out and hooked his little finger, gently shaking it. “It was wrong of me. Frank, even now, I’m still a bit shaken by it.”“Now you’re scared?”“Yeah... scared.” I looked up at him, pressing my lips together. “At the moment the gun fired, the only thought in my mind was, if I died, what would you do...”Before I could finish, he abruptly pulled me into his embrace and rested his chin on the top of my head. “At least you have a bit of a conscience. Since you know, you must not be so impulsive again.”“Alright.” I nuzzled against his chest and suddenly asked curiously, “So, if I really did die, what would you...”He abruptly pinched my face and interrupted me with a cold expression. “Don’t ask such ominous questions.”His eyes fixed on me, he instructed, “I’ll send you Alan’s number.

    Simone and Bethany headed to the address given by K. It was an old villa district with a high occupancy rate, making it easy for Alan and his team to be noticed if they came to investigate.As they got out of the car, Bethany frowned in disgust. “Does that person live here?”Such villa districts, from the perspective of these wealthy second-generation individuals, were beneath their notice, especially for Bethany, who was used to luxury and had grown up in the Shaw family’s residence.Simone was initially a bit dispirited, but upon hearing Bethany’s comment, she snapped out of it and said helplessly, “It’s a matter of necessity, isn’t it for you? Frank is currently searching for him everywhere. This is the safest option.”“Oh.” Bethany nodded dismissively and followed her inside.K had instructed his subordinates in the courtyard to confirm their identities before letting them in.Being an old neighborhood and a house that had been unoccupied for a long time, there was an inevita

    Simone's face turned pale, and she was flustered!At that moment, there was no longer any doubt. Charlotte, that vile woman, had deliberately called her to claim she was willing to give up the inheritance in exchange for the antidote. In reality, she knew full well that there were people behind Simone, and this move was simply to draw them out!Simone gritted her teeth. She should have known that no one would pass up such a chance to rise to the top.She had been trying to understand how powerful blood relations could be, but she never expected that Charlotte had no intention of giving up at all. It was all just a trap!Frank’s thin lips curled into a smirk. “Your mind isn’t suited for overthinking things, and you shouldn’t project your own perspective onto others.”“Charlotte called you because she truly intended to give up everything for Madam Shaw.”“But Mrs. Shaw, you must know that I...” Frank casually surveyed the room with a cold expression, yet his tone carried an almost

    Frank cocked his brows and pressed, “Do you want to keep him company?”Simone had always been a bit intimidated by Frank’s arrogant demeanor. She instinctively took a step back, saying, “Since you know the antidote isn’t something he can just give you, why make things difficult for us?”Frank was nonchalant. “That’s not my concern.”“Alan, take them away.”At Frank’s command, K reached for his weapon, intending to resist, but he saw that Alan wasn’t coming towards him. Instead, Alan walked over to the sofa and lifted the unconscious Bethany.K raised his gun and shouted, “What are you planning to do with her?”“Frank!” Simone, increasingly panicked and disoriented, tried to reclaim Bethany but was kicked aside by Alan. “What do you want to do?”Frank straightened up, brushed off the dust from his clothes with his elegant fingers. “When you see the antidote, come find me for her.”“You…” Simone knew he meant what he said and could only grit her teeth, warning him. “You mustn’t l

    Upon hearing this, Frank didn't even raise an eyebrow, as if it was entirely expected. He merely nodded slightly to indicate he understood and continued walking toward the roadside.Alan quickly followed, methodically planning the next steps. “Should I have them follow him?”“No need.”“No need?”Alan usually kept up with Frank’s pace, but this time he felt a bit out of his depth. “Frank, he must be going to meet the person behind the scenes, right? Shouldn’t we use this opportunity to follow him?”As he spoke, he ran to the front of the car, opened the rear door, then walked around the front and got into the driver’s seat. After starting the car, he finally heard Frank’s calm voice: “Kevin might fall into the same trap twice out of panic, but the person behind him isn’t so foolish. They might be even more cunning than he realizes.”Alan turned on the turn signal and merged into traffic while contemplating, “So you’re saying that following him would only bring us harm with no ben

    "Jane, don't argue with Zachary. This time, I am staying here voluntarily," said Jordan."I’ve made a bet with Westley, and there will be a resolution in the end."Jane nodded. "I can let you handle this matter yourself, but you have to promise me that you won’t let yourself get hurt, and you won’t just keep sacrificing yourself. If it becomes unbearable, give it up. I’ll always be here to support you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."The two sisters chatted for a long time, and only when Jane started to feel sleepy did they end the video call.Jordan handed the phone to Buck and closed the door to her room.Buck was left standing there.He felt like he had been completely abandoned, as if everything around him had fallen apart.Anyway, as a sandwich in the middle, he was already crushed, so it didn’t matter anymore.For several days, Jordan got up to eat, and the food was always food prepared by the chef.She hadn’t seen Westley around.She couldn’t really say how she felt. She just

    "He is faking his psychological illness," Jordan rebutted.Even if he had one, it had nothing to do with her.Even she didn’t have any psychological issues, how could someone with such a strong mind like Westley have any psychological issues?He shouldn’t blame her for everything.Having seen enough, she turned around and walked away.But Carter called her back. "He once took good care of you, and you're going to be this heartless?"Jordan wasn’t familiar with Carter. He was usually a man of few words with a cold personality.If she greeted him, he wouldn’t respond. If she talked too much, she might get an icy look in return.She really didn’t expect that one day, he would try to mediate between her and Westley."You should focus more on your own matters," she said.His own love life was a mess, so what right did he have to interfere in hers?Jordan’s emotions were written all over her face, she didn’t hide them.Carter could guess how she was feeling just by looking at her

    Jane didn’t care about Westley. Even if he was feeling it now, it was too late for regrets.If he hadn’t acted the way he did, Jordan wouldn’t have suffered so much.Moreover, he had once ignored her cries for help, so now he shouldn’t blame Jordan for his injuries.“How’s my sister?” she asked.Roy replied, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Collins, Ms. Hickey is doing fine. Except for the lack of freedom, there are no other restrictions.”“When can I have a video call with her?”Roy thought for a moment. “Since Mr. Howard is now delirious, I can make the arrangements.”“Thank you,” said Jane.“It’s no trouble, it’s my job.”After hanging up the phone, Jane looked at Zachary and asked, “What do you think?”Zachary moved the phone a little farther away to avoid radiation.After finishing the massage, he helped her lie down and said, “I’m thinking what you’re thinking.”Jane gave him a sidelong glance. “You’re slick.”Zachary smirked and bent down to kiss her forehead.“Get some rest.”

    "Mrs. Howard—"Buck watched helplessly as Jordan jumped into the sea.Before he could rush over, a figure was even faster than him."Sir!"Westley dived into the water, found Jordan, and dragged her to the shore.When Jordan was pulled onto the shore, she was still a bit dazed.Wasn't she just swimming? Why was there so much fuss?Buck gestured for people to bring a stretcher, lifted Westley onto it, and hurried back.Buck also called for the maids to help Jordan back.Jordan wiped her face, pushed the maid aside, and twisted the water out of her hair. "What happened?"Buck was anxious to check on Westley, but he couldn’t stop watching Jordan, worried she might jump into the sea again and trying to think of other ways to prevent it."Mr. Howard was saving you.""Why?" Jordan was confused. "I didn’t drown. What’s the need to save me?"Buck recalled what he had seen earlier. It seemed like... swimming?"Weren’t you... jumping into the sea?""Yes." Jordan didn’t notice Buck

    "Nathan, you should head back and deal with your own matters. Let's not interfere with Jordan's matters anymore."Nathan didn’t expect Jane to say this. He paused for a moment before speaking. "You know better than I do what Westley has done. How can we just ignore it? Jordan is still young and hasn’t experienced much in terms of relationships. She lacks experience, what if she falls again..."Jane knew what he was talking about and comforted him. "Don’t worry. Jordan may have experienced little in terms of relationships, but she’s not a foolish girl. She knows how to handle things."Nathan asked, "Is it because there’s something Westley knows?""No, it’s because we can't let Westley continue making a scene. This matter still needs to be handled by the person involved."Nathan didn’t say anything more and told Jane not to worry. When it was close to her delivery, he would come back.Jane agreed and hung up the phone.She threw the phone onto the counter and hugged Zachary from b

    Charlotte raised her hand and gently patted Jane’s shoulder."I understand, after all, she's your sister. But I think Jordan is very smart and capable, she can take care of herself. You can worry, but at the same time, take care of your own health. Then, when she comes back, you can love her properly."Jordan walked around the island.There was a helipad on the mountain with two helicopters.Out at sea, there was a large cruise ship docked.But she didn’t know how to pilot any of them, so there was no way to escape.In the end, she decided to just accept things as they were.If there was a problem, she would deal with it. If not, she’d wait."Mrs. Howard, Jasmine is looking for you."When Jordan returned to the villa, Buck handed her a phone.Hearing Jasmine’s name, she took it."Jasmine.""I'm relieved you're okay," said Jasmine, letting out a sigh of relief, then apologizing. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have drunk so much.""It’s not your fault."Since Westley had a plan to

    She got up just around noon.After thinking for a moment, she decided to go see Westley.Westley wasn't in the bedroom, so she went downstairs to ask the staff.The servant pointed toward the kitchen, and she walked over, finding Westley cutting vegetables.A strip of bandages was wrapped around his exposed wrist.His pale lips and exhausted eyes suggested he was still in poor condition.Yet, he was cooking?Jordan pressed her lips together, her sleep had been poor, and her face didn’t look good either.She stood in place for a few seconds, then turned and walked away.If he didn’t take care of his own body, what business was it of hers?Westley glanced over but didn’t call her, continuing his task.Buck watched the whole scene, worried about Westley’s health, he was still running a fever.“Sir, you should rest. Let me arrange for someone to cook, and I’ll bring it up to you later. And Mrs. Howard... probably won’t care about you... You should take care of your health. Othe

    Charlotte nodded. “So does unhygienic mean better taste?”Jane directly spoke to her belly, "Son, you have to treat your mother-in-law well in the future. Mommy won't be able to back you up. Mommy’s useless..."Charlotte raised her hand and poked her forehead. "Alright, stop the act.""You're even bringing the child up. We still don’t know if it's a boy."Jane said, "I want to arrange a marriage alliance with you. My child can sense his mother’s feelings and will surely fulfill his mother's wishes.""That's nonsense." Charlotte went out to buy what she wanted to eat.As soon as she sat in the car, she received a call from Frank."Is Mr. Smith slacking off again?"Frank chuckled. "I’m calling my wife. Is that not allowed anymore?"Charlotte had driven herself. She turned on the air conditioning and was thinking about going shopping. "I’ve got to go now. I'll be home tonight."Frank heard the sound of the engine and asked, "Did you go out?"Charlotte snorted, "You should know

    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
