Frank laughed. "So the condition he proposed is this." "But I'm more curious about how he blew up the place where I was holding Jack." That place was abandoned, and almost no one knew he was keeping people there. Kevin had fled abroad for the Shaw family's assets, abandoning Simone. He didn't have time to arrange this. For some reason, he just felt that someone like Jack, a rat in the gutter, wouldn't die easily. "I'm still investigating this, but Jack definitely can't be alive. That chemical factory is a complete ruin; the guards you arranged didn't survive, and he was locked up there unless he's a god or they found his body and confirmed his DNA." Frank set aside this doubt for now. "You need to come here." "I promised Charlotte that I'd be home for Christmas. Otherwise, she'd definitely come over regardless." Zachary agreed, "I'll bring Simone and Bethany with me." He couldn't help but tease him a little. After all, opportunities to see Frank in a tough

Jane tossed her hair and, while booking a plane ticket on her phone and said, "Since you're worried about Frank, I'll go check on him for you." I didn't really need that. I admitted I was worried about Frank, but I couldn't let my good friend get into danger. "You..." Just as I was speaking, a video called came in. Seeing it was Frank calling, I answered, "What's up?" "What... is... up?" Frank repeated my words very slowly. Then I remembered. "I didn't hang up on purpose; Jane wants to go with Zachary to your side, and I'm trying to stop her." Frank's voice became a bit heavier. "Don't let her come." Before I could reply, Jane said, "Mr. Smith, I'm an adult..." Before she could finish, Frank abruptly hung up the video call. I sent a question mark in response. He replied, "Someone will stop her. You don't need to worry." I replied, "Got it, I'll wait for you to come back." With Frank's words, I watched Jane leave. Worrying didn't help, and I

"Forget it, I don't want to hear it." Seeing her like this, I could tell Zachary must have said something really mean. Hearing it again would just make it worse. "Drink your tea." Jane took a small sip and, noticing I had some medicine, she asked, "What's wrong?" "Nothing much." I explained about my hospital visit and running into Dr. Travis. "I can't control it, so I'll just have to take some medicine." Jane poked my forehead. "I told you I'd go check on him, but you weren't happy about it. You even teamed up with Frank to let Zachary hurt my feelings." I apologized, "I was really just worried about your safety. If Frank can get trapped, what about you? I've never seen Frank actually compromise before." Jane disagreed, "You're being dramatic. If someone used you to threaten him, he wouldn't think twice before giving in. He'd kneel if needed." I really didn't know what to say. "I'm looking out for you. True, he'd do anything for me. But right now, I only want to

On the roof of the hotel, a helicopter landed. Orderly, the men in black suits disembarked, followed by Kevin. Finally, a man with yellow curly hair, blue eyes, and an unnaturally pale complexion stepped out. His lips were red, making him look quite alluring. He wore a white suit that was elegant and didn't seem out of place."Mr. Senno, I need to tell you again, Frank is not easy to deal with." Senno smiled, looking more like a male siren. "I'm getting more and more curious about him."Frank was lounging on the sofa with his legs crossed since Zachary arrived. From the curve of his lips, Zachary could guess who he was messaging. "I did some research before coming here. The local mafia doesn't have a hundred percent credibility, so don't let your guard down." Frank didn't even blink. "Then it'll be tough for you. I’ll have to scat first. Going back to spend Christmas with Charlotte." Zachary was at a loss for words. He didn't need to say anything more. "Frank." Alan

"Frank, look at whose territory you're in now. Being so arrogant will only lead to your doom!"Clap, clap, clap— The sudden sound of applause. Frank didn't even glance over. Just a glimpse of this monster made him feel nauseous. "Interesting indeed." Senno stared intently at Frank, making him feel physically uncomfortable. Alan, who had quickly risen to become Frank's most trusted subordinate from among so many people, naturally had the basic skill of reading the room— by observing Frank's expression. He could tell that Frank clearly disliked Senno and even seemed to want to shoot him, so he quickly said, "Our condition is the Shaw family's assets. We'll exchange the assets for Simone and her daughter. If you don't agree, then there's nothing to discuss." Kevin had no idea where Frank's confidence came from. "Look at the situation now, I'll say it again. You’re in no position to negotiate. Hurry up and give me my wife and kids." "Be quiet," said Senno, di

The hotel manager didn't dare to come and stop them. All I could hear were gunshots ringing out. Later, the police arrived. "Everyone, put down your guns!" The police separated the two groups, but Frank was already nowhere to be seen. The next day was Christmas. I finished breakfast early and sent a message to Frank, asking when he would arrive. By the time he replied, it was already close to noon. Confirming that he would arrive in the evening, I started preparing dinner with Julie. During this time, my grandma gave me a video call. "Look, I'm making Christmas puddings. Come pick them up this weekend." Seeing my grandma so happy lifted my spirits too. "Okay." After watching me for a while, my grandma said, "Why does it look like you're not well?" I touched my face and smiled brightly. "No, it's probably the lighting. I'm fine, don't worry!" My grandma asked, "Is Frank still not back from abroad?" "He said he would arrive tonight." "Al

"Frank!" Frank quickly responded, "Yes, ma’am." I felt both angry and heartbroken. His smiling reply didn't hide the beads of sweat forming on his nose. I noticed him frowning while Prof. Kilburn treated his wound. Though he was trying to endure the pain, some instinctual reactions couldn't be controlled. I turned around, looking away from him. It was partly because I couldn't bear to watch, and partly because I was indeed angry. Frank signaled for Prof. Kilburn to hurry up. Prof. Kilburn quickly finished the treatment and left Frank and me in the ward. Frank took my hand, but I shook it off. I heard him hiss and quickly turned back, "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." Frank wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into his embrace. Just as I was about to struggle, I heard his hoarse voice, "Charlotte, it hurts." I froze. Even though I knew this was his little scheme. "Serves you right." "Yeah," Frank agreed. "I deserve it." "Then

Frank immediately understood. "Is it serious?" Alan was thinking about how to cooperate with Frank to deceive Charlotte. If Charlotte got angry, it would be much scarier than Frank getting angry. "It's not serious, but he's hospitalized. He might be waiting for someone to visit." Frank dragged out the sound of "oh." I just watched them, not saying anything. Alan finished what he needed to say and slipped away. Frank and I exchanged glances for a moment, then he asked, "Shall we tell her?" I asked, "Are you going to do as I say?" Frank nodded. "Of course, I'll listen to my wife." I playfully retorted, "Who's your wife?" After this trip abroad, Frank spent more time at home. He accompanied me to every prenatal check-up. Any work he could bring home, he did. This led to a bit of trouble. While I was happy he was with me, I didn't have time to design my wedding dress. Under Jane's urging, I already had a rough draft. However, I didn't want

“Why?” asked Jane.“Because such an opportunity is rare,” replied Zachary.Westley indeed cherished the opportunity tonight.Regarding potential rivals, he had investigated a lot.Oliver was the only person who was a little close to Jordan.So tonight, he was confident he could remain emotionally stable and have a proper conversation with Jordan.But he hadn’t expected to encounter a problem as soon as they got off the plane.“Jordan!”Leanne, holding a large bouquet of sunflowers, immediately passed the flowers to Jordan upon seeing her.“If I hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t have been able to catch you. It’s been so long since we’ve gathered together.”“No matter what happens between you and my brother, we can’t cut off our relationship, right?”Jordan had always had a good relationship with the members of the Howard familyNo one treated her poorly or like an outsider.During her school years, any troublemakers had been dealt with by the Howard family.Especially Leanne, who h

Zachary was rendered speechlessFrank teased him, "Family status."Zachary ignored him, as if Frank's family status was any higher."Dominic is keeping an eye on things over there, which is reassuring. The finished products have already been produced, and Jordan helped take some photos. The promotional effect has been good.""Dominic is reliable. It's just a pity I can't model for the later set of the clothes' promotions. Honestly, I really wanted to wear them, the patterns in the later designs are even more intricate."Charlotte glanced at her belly. "You're not showing yet, so you can wear them. I had Dominic send them over. I was in a rush to come back today because of Jordan and didn't bring them, but when the package arrives, you can wear them for the shoot."Jane sighed. "I wonder if the girl will still have time to help me take photos in a few days. I want her to take my maternity photos too.""Whether or not she gets divorced, if you ask her, she’ll definitely come. You

“Let’s go back to the the Howard family’s residence.”“It’s too late, I don’t want to disturb them.”Jordan gritted her teeth. “Then let’s go to your house. It’s so big, we can each take a room and not disturb each other.”Westley calmly took a sip of tea. “It’s not very convenient.”Jordan’s temper flared. “Let’s just stay in a hotel!”Westley replied, “There are too many people watching me in Nelana. I don’t want to be misunderstood.”Jane and Charlotte exchanged a look.They both understood each other’s thoughts.Before, they had thought Westley was calculating and manipulative.He had always been clever at using tricks to handle Jordan.Now, they realized it wasn’t just that.This man had a thick skin—he could say anything without blinking.But they didn’t fully understand Westley’s intentions.He clearly had the chance to spend time alone with Jordan, perhaps to explain some things and clear the air.Yet he kept refusing.If he felt it was inconvenient, if he didn’t

At that moment, someone under Westley came to report.“Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Howard flew to Jeswood. They’re likely going back to celebrate Mr. Collins and Mrs. Collins’ wedding.”Westley immediately booked a flight as well.When Jordan saw Jane, she started venting her frustrations.As she spoke, her voice gradually faded, and she apologized, “I’m sorry. It’s your big day, and here I am talking about this.”Jane poured her a cup of tea. “It’s alright, I understand. I invited you to celebrate, which is sudden of me, considering you’re in the middle of a divorce.”Jordan shook her head. “I could use the good vibes. Hopefully, it’ll help me get the divorce finalized smoothly.”Zachary and Frank exchanged glances, wisely choosing not to get involved in the conversation.What they didn’t expect was for Westley to show up at such a critical moment.He even handed Zachary a gift. “Congratulations.”Zachary instinctively looked at Jane and saw her smiling faintly. His scalp tingled wi

Zachary had already planned for today.He didn’t take Westley’s words to heart.He assumed Frank would explain things to Charlotte.Who knew Charlotte actually accompanied Jordan to Nelana?“It’s not that, it’s just a coincidence.”Jane chatted with Charlotte and asked about Jordan’s situation.Charlotte said, “Westley didn’t show up, so the young girl is very angry right now. I’m taking her to get some photos taken.”“Then after you’re done, come back. How can I celebrate without you here?”Nelana and Jeswood weren’t far from each other. Charlotte checked the time and agreed.“If you’re hungry, just eat something first. Don’t keep waiting. Once I’m on the plane, I’ll let you know. You can roughly estimate the timing.”“Alright!”Jane hung up the phone and looped her arm around Zachary’s. “I want to eat a strawberry cake.”Zachary helped her into the car and instructed Ross to drive to a cake shop.He got out of the car himself to buy it.As Jane ate, she asked, “So if We

“I don’t care! I must go back and put on some makeup!” Jane declared.Ross, who would rather face Zachary’s wrath than make Jane unhappy, immediately prepared to turn the car around.But Zachary stopped him. “Keep driving.”He gently patted Jane’s back to calm her down.“I know you’re excited about getting the certificate, but don’t get so worked up—think about the baby.”Was that what he thought this was about?Jane grabbed Zachary’s ear. “Are you getting old and becoming deaf? I said turn the car around! If you keep pretending not to hear me, don’t even think about me taking a photo with you to get the certificate when we get there!”In the end, Zachary had no choice but to compromise.Jane hadn’t done her makeup in a while. With the sudden pregnancy, she hadn’t had the time to prepare maternity-safe cosmetics.So they went to the mall, where she bought what she needed and applied a full, flawless makeup look.Feeling beautiful and confident, she finally went to the Civil A

Jordan planned to return to Nelana right after breakfast.Yasmin tried to persuade her to stay a few more days.But she was eager to return and finalize her divorce.Charlotte decided to accompany her since she hadn’t had the chance to visit Dominic and look at the finished products after Jane’s recent accident.Frank wanted to tag along, but Charlotte stopped him. “You stay here and handle things.”Frank sneered. “You’re just tired of me and keep coming up with reasons to stay apart.”Charlotte had been hearing this from him a lot lately and was immune to it by now.She patted his shoulder, linked arms with Jordan, and walked away.Frank was rendered speechless‘Fine.’Westley had never drunk so much alcohol before.Although he wasn’t completely wasted, there were still some things he remembered clearly.However, his headache was intense.Buck brought him some water, asked about his schedule, and reported on the events of the night before.Westley paused while drinking t

She could say nothing more.Moreover, even if she said something, it would be useless.Zachary achieved his goal and turned to leave.After the door to the ward closed, Rebecca picked up a piece of yellowing apple to eat.The old lady of the Collins family sighed, “We didn’t raise him in vain.”Rebecca wiped away tears, she still couldn’t bring herself to like Jane.But Zachary was her only son. At this point, there was nothing she could do to stop him.She could only look the other way and let it go.She said to Eric, “Jeswood is too cold. Take me to Clisfield. This is what you’ve promised me.”Spring had already arrived in Jeswood, it wasn’t cold at all.But Eric still immediately arranged for tickets to be booked.There were still several months before Zachary and Jane’s wedding.In the meantime, she could relax and gradually come to terms with things as time passed.Eric looked at the elderly couple. “Mom, Dad, come with us. The weather there is warm year-round.”Zach

If this were Jane, just a single cough would send him into a panic.Rebecca felt that Zachary now cared more about Jane than her.“Even if Jasper isn’t her biological father, how can you be so sure her real parents are good people? What if...”Zachary finished slicing the apple into small pieces, placed them on a plate, and handed it to his mother.His tone was unhurried. “I can accept anything. As I said before—I will marry no one but her.”Rebecca didn’t take the plate, so Zachary set it aside.The apple, left untouched, began to oxidize and turn brown.Zachary lightly tapped the apple with the fruit knife and said, “There are more than one path in front of me.”Rebecca opened her mouth to speak, but Zachary interrupted her.He pulled out a photo and handed it to her.“The Collins family doesn’t only have me for the official route. There is a sister who can take my place.”Rebecca was stunned. “What sister?”Zachary produced a document. “A recently acknowledged goddaughte
