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

Are you hurt anywhere?"Westley grabbed Jordan's hand and thoroughly checked her over.When he saw the red marks on her wrist, his gaze immediately turned cold.Buck quickly said, "It's been dealt with. He won't get away with it."However, Westley still had a very grim expression.

    Jordan felt disgusted.It was typical for the man to act so arrogantly."What's going on?" The designer, who had been sending the models off the stage, noticed that the crowd had gathered.He finally made his way through the crowd to the center of the circle.As soon as he saw the man, his expression immediately changed. He smiled obsequiously and said, "Who upset you?"The man raised his hand and pointed at Jordan. "Did you bring her here?"The designer followed the direction of his finger and looked over.Upon seeing Jordan, he immediately understood.This man from the Howard family was known for liking beautiful women, which was why he had invested in the fashion show.In the past, he had turned a blind eye to his investments, but now that it was Jordan, he had to think twice.After all, Jordan was not only a well-known photographer, but also a disciple of Oliver.The Sykes family was not on the same level as the Howard family, but it was still not something he could affo

    Upon hearing the name, Buck sneered.He was nowhere near as powerful as Zachary.Buck couldn’t believe how arrogant they were being with only a little bit of power.He immediately struck with a swift move.The man winced in pain and released his grip.Buck shielded Jordan behind him.The models on stage began to exit.The standoff caught people's attention.They heard a man cursing loudly, "Damn, you dare hit me? I'll make you regret this, whether you believe it or not!""I don't believe it."Buck couldn't be bothered to waste time on such an idiot. He took out his phone and made a call.More people from the audience at the show started gathering around.Some recognized the man and whispered to each other, "Isn't that a member of the Howard family?""I heard he's the brother-in-law of the head of Howard family's."Buck had excellent hearing. When he caught this conversation, he recalled the man's name. It turned out the person was from a branch of the Howard family, kept

    Jordan had nothing more to say and could only show her work to the designer.At the front desk, Buck found the best viewing spot. This way, he could immediately send updates to Westley about Jordan’s situation.At the back of the stage, Jordan took a few simple photos first.The models gathered around and saw the photos she had taken.The casual shots showed her impressive skills."Does you own a studio or a company, Miss?""A company.""Then, Miss, can I book you now? When I get married, I hope you can do the whole process of my wedding photoshoot."Jordan politely declined, "Wedding photos are not my main area of work. I can't take this job, but I can recommend photographers for you."One of the models asked, "What about personal portraits?"Jordan wasn't into those either. "Sorry, most of the time I photograph animals and red carpet events. I don't have time for personal portraits."Suddenly, someone picked up Jordan's work badge."I thought you looked familiar. You're t

    Westley ordered Buck to follow Jordan.Jordan apologized to Jane, "Jane, I'll make it up to you after I'm done."Jane envied her, being able to stay busy with work.She got up to help her tidy up. "Alright, go ahead, be careful on the road.""Okay, you take care and rest more, Jane," said Jordan, putting on her bag."Got it." Jane saw her off.Charlotte said, "I'll head back, I'll take her to the airport."She already knew everything.Jordan was sick, she had said herself she wasn't working.No matter how urgent the job, no matter how close they were as friends, there would always be a solution. There wasn't just one photographer in this world.Although Jordan's talent was unmatched by most people, it was too coincidental.After Zachary finished his call on the balcony, Jordan was about to fly abroad for a shoot.It was hard not to associate this with his influence.She didn't want to stay here and be disliked, so she left.She gave them space.Jane didn't ask anything,

    "I won't participate in the photoshoot. Jordan, come here, I'll watch from the side."Jordan grabbed a chair for Jane, "Jane, let's start by taking photos whilst sitting down."She was about to help Jane when suddenly a cold gust of wind blew past.Someone else had already sat Jane down before her."Be careful."Jane pushed him away. "Go do what you have to. We sisters are having fun. Don't interrupt."Zachary's expression darkened slightly. "I'm not busy..."Jane gave a sarcastic smile. "I want to hang out with my friends. Is that okay, hubby?"Zachary turned and left, constantly looking back as he walked to the balcony.Jordan gave a thumbs up. "You've got the husband under control."Jane pushed some stray hair behind her ear and said proudly, "Oh, stop it."Jordan and Charlotte exchanged a glance and both smiled.The photoshoot proceeded steadily.On the balcony, Zachary called Westley."You're really useless, can't even keep your own wife."Westley was confused, "Wha

    "What is it?" Jane urged. "But I won't listen to anything about Westley."Wasn't this just walking straight into a trap?Charlotte changed her approach. "I had Frank go to Nelana. I know that Jordan went to find Oliver."Jane's eyes shifted. "What I was going to tell you was about Jordan and Oliver's gossip, but it turns out you already knew."Charlotte entered the study with her. "If you don't want to hear about Westley, then tell me what you know."In the end, Jane still asked, "Is he really sick?"Charlotte nodded. "He had a surgery. They said there was a tumor in his kidney."Jane couldn't feel any sympathy for Westley, "He treated her so badly that he’s even punished by God."Charlotte didn't deny it, but asked, "Which one do you want to wear?""I actually want to wear them all, but Zachary won't let me.""It won't hurt to wait a couple of days. Once you're stable or after you give birth, you can still wear them."Jane sighed. "He's been overly cautious lately, but I'm

    Jordan felt uneasy and said cautiously, "There's nothing. I really don't have any impure thoughts about Oliver.""Then that means you don't like him." Jane patted her head. "It's okay. We can still meet a soulmate in the future, right? Don't worry."Jordan wasn't worried about this. What concerned her was the upcoming photoshoot. Jane would be changing clothes back and forth, and she was sure that Zachary would use his sharp, cold gaze to slice her into pieces."So, this time, Jane, just wear one outfit. I'll take more pictures for you. When your belly gets bigger, we'll take maternity photos."Jane agreed, and Jordan secretly sighed in relief."I'll go get changed first."Jordan nodded, about to follow her in, when Zachary stopped her."She’s my wife, I'll handle it. No need to trouble yourself."‘We’re both women, what's there that can't be seen? Aren't we all the same?’She guessed that he was doing this on purpose because she had made Jane excited earlier.Jordan silently

    Although Zachary wasn’t even looking at Jordan, the latter could still feel the coldness in his eyes.He was angry with her, blaming her for making Jane so emotional."Jane, I suddenly remembered, I have something to do, so I’ve got to go now."Jordan abruptly stood up, but in her haste, a wave of dizziness made her sit back down.It was strange. When she was at Oliver's house earlier, she felt the temperature had dropped a little.Why did she now feel light-headed?"Sit still and don't move."Jane pulled a blanket over her and urged Zachary, "Tell the doctor to hurry."Zachary could only stand up and make a phone call.Just as he picked up his phone, the doorbell rang.He opened the door and let the doctor in.The doctor asked, "Mr. Collins, what symptoms is Mrs. Collins experiencing?""It's not her." Zachary's voice was cold. "Go inside and take a look."The doctor walked in and saw a different girl with an unfamiliar face.He had seen Jane before, so he knew that this
