He was born into such a harsh family and was an only child, bearing a tremendous responsibility.

The path of his upbringing was filled with hardships.

From a young age, he clearly knew what he wanted, and his personality was thus steady and aloof.

At that time, even when he expressed his feelings, he remained calm and composed.

However, before anything could happen, his grandfather sent her abroad.

He said it was for her development, to help her learn more.

In reality, he just wanted to separate her from Zachary.

After years apart, everything changed as they grew up.

But when she returned home and visited him in the hospital, his attitude toward her remained unchanged.

Although indifferent, there was a unique gentleness about him.

She thought that even his grandfather's actions wouldn't affect that.

Previously, he was too young to fully control his life.

Now that he had grown up, he was gradually taking over the Collins family.

At that time, with power in his hands, no one

    "I was more honest than you about this."Nina was not angry, her smile seemed glued to her face.Her tone remained gentle. "Tonight, let them resolve the previous misunderstanding. Tomorrow night, we can just let them have a new misunderstanding."Outside, the owner of the escape room watched the surveillance footage and said to a nearby employee, "These two are really bold. The ghost have been trying to scare them for a while, and they're still calmly chatting together."The car drove into the underground car park. Before it had even come to a complete stop, Jane was ready to open the door and get out.Zachary reached out a large hand and pressed down on her, "If you want to talk in the car, I'm here for it.""You really have issues," Jane replied coldly.The driver wisely slipped away.Zachary asked her, "Upstairs or here?"Jane lifted her leg to kick him. "Neither. I don't want to talk to you. Just breathing the same air as you makes me feel sick."Especially the faint sce

    "Fine."When good words didn't work, he started to threaten her.Jane was so angry that her teeth itched. She ground her teeth and said, "There won't be any unpleasantness between them. Frank will always stand firmly by Charlotte. As soon as I tell Charlotte about your shameless behavior, Frank will surely find a way to make you unable to do anything."Zachary, however, smirked. "Just in time. I've been bored lately. Let Frank and your best friend skip their honeymoon and come to spar with me, so they can focus on serious matters."Jane felt defeated.Not defeated by Zachary, but by Frank.If Zachary really engaged Frank in a business battle, the city would be thrown into chaos.At that point, Charlotte would definitely worry.They had just gotten married, because she couldn't enjoy her life properly, she felt guilty.But she held her ground verbally. "You really are a good friend to Frank."Zachary didn't take it to heart. He brushed Jane's disheveled hair and said, "Can we

    Zachary hadn't really heard her previous words. He also didn't catch the latter part clearly.Faintly, it seemed he heard the word "want."He pressed her wandering hands down and spoke again, his voice already thick with desire, "If you could just speak properly, I wouldn't have to do this."‘Oh, now it’s my fault too.’Jane took the opportunity to bite his Adam's apple.Zachary's grip on her waist tightened suddenly, causing her to gasp in pain.She unhappily said, "Let go."Zachary pulled her tighter into his embrace, resting his chin on her shoulder.It seemed like he sighed in resignation, but Jane detected a faint hint of triumph in it."If you keep this up, I'll just take it as you've forgiven me and that you like me."‘Listen to this ridiculous logic. It was no wonder his family was involved in both politics and business,’ thought Jane.After cursing him inwardly, Jane continued where he left off, "I get it now. Mr. Collins just enjoys the feeling of me chasing after

    Zachary was quite surprised when she pinched his mouth shut.His usual calm and indifferent demeanor was nowhere to be seen.Jane held his mouth tightly, looking at him coldly. "Mr. Collins, you may have power and influence, but if you continue to harass me, then a person who has nothing to lose won’t be afraid of anything. Even if it costs me my life, I will make you pay the price."This was not what Zachary wanted.Hearing her say she liked someone else caused a fire to surge in his chest, wildly crashing around.He couldn't control himself.At that moment, he had only one thought and that was to silence her irritating mouth.Now that he had calmed down a bit, he recalled the hurtful things he had said earlier.At that time, Jane probably wanted to sew his mouth shut."I've let you scold me," he said, removing her hand from his mouth. "Aren't you done venting your anger? Tell me what would make you feel better?”Jane's expression was indifferent. "I already told you, didn’t

    "I told the security guard to let you in."Michael had actually prepared himself for Jane to refuse.He was also ready for her to end their casual relationship.When he received her message telling him to come in, he was overjoyed, spinning around where he stood.With the security guard's confirming gaze, he entered Jane's community, heading toward her building.Meanwhile, Zachary received the news that Michael had entered Jane's home.He couldn't sit still for a moment, grabbing his coat and heading out.However, when he opened the door, he came face to face with the thinly dressed Nina."Zachary..."Zachary paused slightly but still draped his coat over her shoulders, not allowing her to enter. He asked, "What's wrong?"Nina and Michael had discussed their plan at the escape room.But they had received news that Jane had left Zachary's place.She thought that the two would have resolved their misunderstanding and would be stuck together.They were both adults, and Jane w

    Nina rolled her eyes. If he didn't come in, then wouldn’t she just fall for nothing? It was really painful. She continued in a crying tone, "Zachary, can I no longer paint in the future? My arm can't even move... Boohoo, Zachary, if I can't paint anymore, how will I live..." Zachary could only say, "With me around, you won't starve, and besides, you haven't seen a doctor yet, don't scare yourself, it'll be fine." It really was like talking to a wall. Nina was nearly infuriated. Just when she wanted to continue coaxing Zachary to come in, she heard someone outside say, "Mr. Collins, the doctor has arrived." ‘Great. Today's suffering was all for nothing.’But it was fine, Nina suppressed her anger and began to think of other strategies. "How is it?" Zachary stood aside, avoiding the gaze that fell inside, and after the female doctor went in for a while, he asked. The female doctor replied honestly, "It's a bit serious, she needs to be sent to the hospital f

    "Zachary..." Her tone was pitiful and choked with emotion. "I never meant to trouble you, but I have no family left. If you don't have time to stay with me, I'll have to rely on my godmother to take care of me. I don't want to be alone without someone close by during this time. Even though it's a small injury, I'm still very scared. I don't like being alone in the hospital, you know that."Nina returned to the country because her grandfather was critically ill. Not long ago, she had been in the hospital taking care of him, and that was how she ended up in his ward. Her grandfather had been a driver for Sir Collins all his life. Moreover, Sir Collins had sent her abroad for such a long time, keeping her separated from her grandfather, so they hadn't had the chance to spend time together. Thus, he arranged for her to receive treatment in a VIP room. Just a few days later, her grandfather passed away. Nina had already gone through a lot while abroad, and now, sending he

    I couldn't bear to recall what happened yesterday, even through the screen, I felt my face heating up. At the same time, I was puzzled about how he seemed to be in such good spirits. After all, he was the one who had put in the effort. Just as I was about to reply, the doorbell rang. I got up to open the door and saw Jane's expression. Quickly, I sent a message to Frank and pulled Jane into the dining room to sit down. "You haven't eaten yet, right?" I served her some oat porridge. Frank noticed her perfunctory reply, and knew that Jane had arrived. He didn't reply to Charlotte’s message and continued with the meeting. The senior executives understood that their CEO was newly married and would be a bit clingy. Besides, even if they didn't understand, no one dared suggest that Frank shouldn't look at his phone during a meeting. At Region Gardens.Jane took the oat porridge from me but didn't drink it, propping her face up wearily. I picked up a spoon

    Charlotte patted her head. "First, make a video call to that little girl." Jane quickly found her phone and opened the landlord's WhatsApp. As soon as the call connected, the little girl appeared on screen, her eyes red. Tears were still visible on her face. The landlord was sitting next to her, waiting, not having gone to sleep. Jane apologized, "Sorry to disturb your rest." "Don't say that." The landlord gently patted her daughter's head. "I'm just happy you're alright." Jane smiled at the little girl. "Thanks to Celine, I'm fine." The little girl leaned closer to the screen. "Jane, you're lying. Your lips are swollen." Jane cleared her throat. "I ate something spicy earlier." She quickly added to prevent the little girl from saying anything else, "Alright, go to sleep now. We'll talk more when you get out of school. Jane went through a lot today, and she's tired too." The little girl, very understanding, handed the phone to her mother and went to bed

    The captain laughed. "Don't think that just because we're from abroad, we don't understand anything.""Young lady, if you want to buy some time, then I'll play along with you. But if you're hoping for someone to rescue you, I advise you to give up on that thought. This is the border. Domestic ships can't get through here."Well, you don't know Frank.There's no one who can stop him from going where he wants to go.Jane tried her best to suppress her fear. "Sir, I have all kinds of tricks. If I can make you guys happy, can you spare my life?"She reached out, grabbed the captain's belt, and moved closer."As long as you don't kill me, you'll be my savior. I'll be yours from now on and let you have your fun with me. Is that okay?"Although Jane hadn't dressed herself up recently.But her facial features were stunning. Those fox-like eyes with a smile in them were even more alluring.The captain kept swallowing saliva. Apparently, he was attracted.However, they had already rece

    They were anxious, not just because of the situation, but because they feared Zachary would go mad and go abroad with Jane. Frank glanced at their expressions and immediately understood that they were aware of Lexi's plan to send Jane abroad. "I suggest that while Zachary is looking for Jane, you should take care of the Sanchez family's matters. Otherwise, when Zachary comes back, there will be hell to pay." Jane ate the meal the waiter brought and then felt drowsy. She fell into a light sleep, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already half past nine. She remembered the things she had told the little girl before leaving and quickly grabbed her phone to call. But just then, the door was suddenly kicked open. Several adult men stormed in and grabbed her, dragging her outside. "What are you doing?" They had originally planned to reach the border, but unexpectedly, a violent storm had forced a slight course change. This delay allowed the effects of th

    Lexi said, "The plane will leave traces. By then, Zachary will find you. The ship will change at the border and private sea areas. Once she changes ships, it will be hard to track." Jane remembered when Jack had taken Charlotte away before. She felt a sense of unease. After all, Lexi wasn't someone she could fully trust. "I didn't expect you to be so timid." Lexi noticed Jane's worry. "I thought someone with your background, who dared to pursue someone as different as Zachary, and even date him, would have extraordinary courage." But wasn't Jane regretting it now? Otherwise, why would she be running away? She decided not to care anymore. With a firm heart, she boarded the ship. Lexi smiled in satisfaction, but then a cold glint appeared in her eyes as she spoke to the captain. "When we reach the border, throw her into the sea and feed her to the sharks." No matter where she went, as long as Zachary wanted to find her, it was just a matter of time.

    Lexi was so angry that she wanted to smash something. She got up and walked away, with each step of her high heels hitting the ground, the sound echoing her immense fury. The more difficult it was to conquer, the more determined she became to conquer it! Zachary went directly back to the Collins family home. The Collins family members were somewhat uneasy. When they saw him come back alone, they were both shocked and suspicious. "Did Lexi not come back with you?" asked Rebecca. Zachary did not respond and walked upstairs with long strides. Rebecca, along with Sir Collins and Madam Collins, exchanged gazes, all feeling something was off. It was strange that Zachary had actually returned to the Collins family. "Sean." Rebecca saw someone else entering behind him and immediately asked, "Did you follow him the whole time? Did you notice anything unusual?" Sean bent slightly, his face carrying a polite smile as he respectfully replied, "No abnormalities w

    The situation between Zachary and Jane's relationship had not been made public. It was normal for the employees at the company not to know about it. Zachary did not answer when people congratulated him, and Lexi stood silently by his side, not saying anything either. But to those around them, their actions were as good as an admission.Some people even offered their congratulations, but Zachary didn't acknowledge them. He didn't go upstairs. Instead, he turned and left the building. This time, he didn't even get into Lexi's car. The smell inside the car was too overwhelming, making him dizzy.Lexi followed him, and they entered a nearby cafe. He didn't go straight to Jane's place, but Lexi knew that was just a way of hiding his true intentions. However, she wasn't concerned. After all, the Collins family would never approve of him being with Jane. She just needed to give him a bit of time to play along."Mr. Collins, aren't you going to consider my suggestion?" Lexi asked with a sli

    The shock from the Collins family was too much for her. She wouldn't take the initiative, nor would she have the courage to continue with him.So what other way did he have?He'd tried both soft and hard tactics, yet this situation was still more complicated than advanced mathematics.The next day.Lexi invited Zachary out.But the Collins family hesitated.Rebecca said, "Why don't you two spend some more time getting to know each other at home first?"Lexi smiled. "Mrs. Collins, I know what you're worried about, but that woman is no longer in Jeswood."Rebecca was aware of this.After all, they had been keeping an eye on Jane's movements. They even knew where she was staying.It was surprising that Lexi had just returned a day ago, yet she had already figured it out.This kind of method and family background was exactly what the Collins family needed.It was also what Zachary needed."I've erased all traces. Even if he wants to find her today, he won't be able to, and it

    The landlord nodded understandingly. "You young people do have a lot of new ideas."They chatted casually and soon reached the large square.The stage had already been set up.They had arrived early, but there were already a lot of people gathered.Jane commented, "It's quite formal."The landlord proudly replied, "This isn't just a community event, there are even celebrities."Jane became a little curious and wanted to see what celebrities were here.It turned out to be an R-list boy band, along with a few elderly artists.Well, it was still a big stage.She watched for a while, but soon lost interest. She made an excuse to go to the bathroom.Under the cover of night, she wandered around.She spotted a small shop and bought a bag of cheese-flavored chips to eat.This kind of life, she thought, couldn't last long. She hoped Zachary would hurry up and get married, so he would stop bothering her."Jane..." Jane was lost in thought when the voice startled her, almost caus

    "Stop dreaming."Lexi, despite her feelings for Zachary, couldn't suppress her anger anymore."You want to marry that woman? That's nothing but wishful thinking."Zachary's gaze was icy, and every word he spoke, from his thin lips, carried a chilling frost."Her name is Jane."Lexi, at this point in her life, had never met a man who not only showed no interest in her but also repeatedly poked at her vulnerabilities."The more you protect her, the more dangerous she becomes. My offer won't change. You'll come to me eventually."With that, she turned, her heels clicking sharply as she walked toward the door."Excuse me, open the door."Sean opened the door.Lexi held her head high as she walked downstairs.Sean was about to close the door when Zachary threw the food outside.He even "thoughtfully" closed the door after that.When Rebecca saw the untouched food that Sean had brought down, she couldn't help but feel some pity."Not eating yet?"She had just praised Lexi for
