Chapter 606

Author: Lean
"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

    "I'm sure everyone has heard some news. When I initially denied my mother-daughter relationship with Christine, everyone has been curious since then." "Here, I need to clarify..." Yasmin recounts Simone's past misdeeds and how Christine deceived her, preventing her from recognizing her own daughter. After all, she was a well-known actress, and tears come easily, just a few drops flow when needed. Today, she chose a light-colored gown, willingly playing the supporting role for her daughter. With tearful emotion, her performance was heartfelt and highly infectious. People in the audience were starting to wipe their tears. But among the crowd of reporters, there was a woman in a mask whose sharp eyes glint with malice.When Jane came to the lounge to find me, Frank happened to have a call and stepped out to take it. Jane looked me over, teasingly asking, "What's wrong? Why are your ears so red?" I shot her a sidelong glance. "What are you thinking? He just suddenly br

    Boom— As the scream rang out, an explosion echoed. In an instant, the banquet hall erupted into chaos. I instinctively protected my abdomen, but as I tried to escape, I found myself in a familiar, warm embrace. "Frank—" The smell of something burnt flooded my nostrils, and another explosion sounded, people scattered in panic, creating more chaos. "Oh my God, it's sulfuric acid!" The screams around me heightened everyone's fear. People fled in a frenzy, crowding me and Frank so we couldn't move. Christine was like a madwoman, completely disregarding the crowd. Some were splashed, causing even more uproar. Just as I saw Christine rushing towards me, in a critical moment, Alan pushed through the crowd and restrained her. But he was also burned in the process. "Charlotte, are you okay?" I forced myself to stay calm. "I'm fine, quickly take Frank to the hospital!" Prof. Kilburn and Dr. Travis also arrived and got into our car. After we rushed

    I couldn't avoid it even when I was out at sea. The wind picked up, and the ship swayed violently. I had already been feeling unwell, and after a series of heart-pounding events, I was now throwing up into a trash can and seeing stars. Suddenly, a bottle of water appeared in front of me. I knew who it was from, but I didn't take it. Yet the person offering the water didn't give up, he opened the cap and held it to my lips. I turned my head, and as the ship swayed, water spilled everywhere. "Charlotte." That voice was all too familiar. My stomach churned even more violently, and my hands couldn't stop shaking. It was Jack. He was someone I had once trusted completely. After I finished throwing up, I wiped my mouth with a tissue and said coldly, "Don't call me that." Jack scoffed, "Why can Frank call you that, but I can't?" I knew that everything that had happened today was tied to him. Christine showing up in the banquet hall was likely his d

    "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
