Chapter 622

Author: Lean
If they found out they were tricked just because Frank wanted to save someone, wouldn't that offend two major families?

They might not even be able to leave this sea area.

Who knows, they might end up feeding the sharks.

Frank's brows furrowed. "Do as I say."

"Yes."

Seeing him insist, Alan immediately obeyed the order.

"Frank."

After Alan left, Zachary spoke up, "Alan makes a valid point. Things will get complicated once they’re involved. How can you guarantee that we can help the Jebwi family eliminate the Valin family? What if we fail?"

Frank's lips curved slightly, even though the illness hadn't completely faded from his face, it couldn't hide his inherent wildness.

"You go and find a way to send a message to Officer Locke."

Zachary instantly understood, chuckling. "You really are a son of a bitch!"

After I ate my fill, I began to feel drowsy.

Especially when the wind died down and the boat moved steadily, I could hardly keep my eyes open.

    "Was it you who changed my clothes?"When I woke up on the boat, I was wearing a set of beige cotton pajamas.At that moment, I was too shocked to see Jack, and then I was in a constant state of panic, desperately thinking of ways to escape.All sorts of emotions made me forget about this matter.Jack's gaze lightly swept over me, and I couldn't tell what flickered in his eyes, but he actually said "Yes."I suddenly tensed up, a wave of disgust surging uncontrollably.I didn't understand how someone I once trusted the most, someone who knew how to navigate relationships, had turned into this.Even though it was under unconscious circumstances, just thinking about it made me feel as if ants were crawling all over me.That kind of physical discomfort was impossible to control."I just changed your clothes, why do you look so lifeless?" Jack pulled me to the deck.The cold sea breeze blew toward me, howling, but I still couldn't catch my breath.I didn't want to talk to Jack.

    The one speaking was the head of the Jebwi family, Kanby. Although Frank was on someone else's turf, he seemed completely at ease, as if he were in his own home.He sat down across from Kanby.However, he remained cautious, not touching anything on the table."Senno wants to recruit me, but I'm unwilling. He took my lover away. Mr. Kanby, don't you think I should take revenge for this?" Kanby's wife was someone he had worked hard to win, but because of a conflict with Senno, she was gone forever.He hadn't remarried over the years, occasionally seeking revenge on Senno when the opportunity arose.But truly eliminating Senno was no easy task.So when someone sent him a message, regardless of its authenticity, he wanted to meet this person.Now that he knew this young man in front of him was here for his wife, he felt there was a chance to fight back."What do you need me to do?" Frank smirked. "You’re a smart guy, Mr. Kanby. Communicating with you is indeed easy and straig

    "You'll do anything for this child, won't you?" Jack's smile made my skin crawl. "In that case, keeping it isn't such a bad idea."I followed Jack from the cabin to the deck.As we were getting off the boat, he insisted on holding my hand, and I couldn't break free."Jack."I turned to see a man in a purple suit walking over.He was very pale, but his lips were red.With his yellow curls and blue eyes, he really looked like a male fairy."Senno."Jack introduced me."So this is the woman you risked everything to bring back?" Senno scrutinized me and said, "You seem nice-looking, but besides that, there's really nothing special about you. Why is he so infatuated with you?"‘Infatuated?’I felt a wave of dizziness, unsure if it was from seasickness or pregnancy.Silence hung heavily over the scene.Seeing that I wasn't saying anything, Senno didn't continue talking to me.He turned to Jack, saying, "I've arranged a place for her to rest. I need to discuss something with y

    "Stop thinking about it." Jack leaned closer to me, saying, "Even if he can get onto this island, he can't take you away.""I won't let you two meet."After saying this, he turned to Senno. "You know what to say. With or without the person in front of you.""Forget your arrangements, I have my own place to stay. You don't need to worry about food, I'll take care of that. In a couple of days, I'll be leaving with my people."Senno didn't reveal what he was really planning, he simply said, "Do as you wish."A weight settled in my heart.There wouldn't even be a chance to buy some time.Frank reached the shore, glancing around to assess the number of people."Frank."Senno hurried over, arms open for an embrace.Frank sidestepped and asked bluntly, "Where's my lover?"Senno's eyes seemed to almost bore into Frank.Suppressing his anger, Frank asked again.Senno replied, "Don't worry. She's fine. I've prepared some food, let's eat first."Something flickered in Frank's eyes

    After Jack left the cabin, I looked around the place. I found nothing. When I opened the door to go outside, I was surprised to see someone guarding it. I suppressed my frustration and asked, "Are you from Senno's side or Jack's?" No one answered me. But if I dared to take a step forward, they would immediately block me.On the other side, Frank's face was as dark as water, he had no interest in picking up his cutlery. No matter how much food Senno filled his plate with, Frank's patience was already thin, and his concern for Charlotte made it even scarcer. However, he had to buy some time to ease Senno's vigilance."I'm not hungry." Frank stood up and walked outside, glancing towards the shore before heading into the forest. Senno didn't stop him and followed along. But he was blocked at the entrance.Frank had a gut feeling that Charlotte was nearby. "Don't think that just because I'm on this island, you can control me. I can't join the Valin family without seeing my wife."Senn

    They thought it was Frank's unbearable temperament that had angered Senno. They even imagined how satisfying it would be to see Frank dead. Once that happened, they could take the Shaw family's assets from Charlotte and then eliminate her. It would be a double celebration.But what they saw was Frank pointing a gun at Senno. It was completely the other way around. The atmosphere by the shore was tense. Only Frank, the cause of the situation, stood relaxed with one hand in his pocket. Yet beneath that calm exterior, he was on high alert, especially not having seen Charlotte."I'll ask you one more time, where is she?"Senno raised his hand, signaling everyone to lower their guns. Frank was difficult to conquer, which only made people want to conquer him more."I'll take you to her."Senno returned to his usual self, smiling as he led Frank into the forest, not caring about the gun in his hand. After all, Frank wouldn't casually kill him without first finding that woman.What Senno

    He signaled me not to struggle. To trust him. He looked at me, softly saying, "I'm here, don't be afraid, okay?" I wasn't really afraid, but I had never wanted to hug him so much before. "Frank, you've seen the woman, can you come with me now?" Senno's smile faded significantly. This woman made Frank so gentle, he definitely couldn't let her stay alive. Jack was just right to take her away. Their goals would both be achieved. "Jack's mercenaries are different from me, they only care about money. If the money is right, they'll do anything." But just as Senno finished speaking, his trusted aide rushed in. "Boss, bad news! Kanby's people are coming!" "Kanby?" Senno looked at Frank, completely losing his smile. "I treated you sincerely, and you repay me like this?" "Go, tie him up for me." "Jack, take your people and get this woman far away." Jack didn't want to waste time here either. Frank could escape unscathed from Senno now that he had teamed

    Taking advantage of Jack loosening his grip, I slipped out of his arms. I was dumbfounded when I saw him arm hanging down and the gun on the ground.I took two steps back, but didn't feel any sense of relief. "Charlotte." Frank strode forward and pulled me tightly into his arms. I finally regained came back to my senses a little. "Frank..." All the anxiety and tension of the day, all the bad emotions, vanished in that moment. I felt an immense sense of security. It was something no one else could give me. Jane had wanted to step forward, but seeing us so tightly embraced, she just waited to the side. At that moment, a group of people suddenly arrived. The leader was still in uniform, shouting to everyone, "Don't move!" Senno had come to this island with only a small number of people, believing no one could enter his territory. But today, Frank brought Kanby. Kanby was well-prepared and Senno was completely defeated. "Frank..." As he closed h

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.

    “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.

    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
