Chapter 729

Author: Lean
"What the hell is she up to this time?"

At that moment, a relaxed, deep male voice had sounded.

"Was this a grand performance prepared because we returned?"

Jane was surprised to see Charlotte.

"How come you’re back?"

Charlotte poked her forehead. "You thought you could hide such a big thing from me."

Jane believed Yasmin was not someone who lacked integrity. "How did you know?"

Charlotte pointed to Frank.

They came to a tacit understanding.

Jane grasped Charlotte's hand. "We aren't children. Zachary and I can handle this, you can do what you have to."

Charlotte replied, "We’re in no rush."

"Zachary!"

Just as Jane wanted to say more, she heard a hoarse cry.

Turning around, she saw Nina had thrown herself into Zachary's arms.

At that moment, she had stood frozen in place.

Her intuition told her that someone like Nina wouldn't hurt herself willingly.

Moreover, it wasn't just her, Frank had noticed the moment he appeared.

But Zachary couldn't just watch, he still reached

    As he spoke, he shot a glance at Jane. "He used to be so clingy to you, but it’s a little strange that he’s now avoiding you after what seemed you two sleeping together."Jane didn't have the energy to pay attention to Michael and was too lazy to watch the farce, so she pulled Charlotte away.After Frank's reminder, she felt that Michael's behavior had been quite off since she woke up."After dinner, I'll go find him and ask what's going on.""No need," said Zachary. "Once there's evidence, he won't be able to deny it."Jane rested her chin on her hand. "How long until we see this evidence?"Zachary couldn't specify a timeline, this matter was complicated."As soon as possible," he said.The waiter began serving the dishes, and Jane started eating.Zachary said that she shouldn't go, but she wasn't that obedient.She felt restless until there was a resolution.Michael was the one who was really feeling restless.He didn't want to deceive Jane or use such despicable means to

    In the end, it was Jane who went to get the luggage.She was an impatient person. If she had doubts, she needed to clarify them.Otherwise, she couldn’t even sleep well.Zachary wanted to follow her, but she refused, so he could only wait at the door.Frank had known Zachary for years and had never offered any false comfort.He just waited silently beside him.Charlotte went to see the child.In the room, Jane tidied up the suitcase she had messed up when she woke up, picked it up after closing it, and didn’t even sit down.She looked straight at Michael and asked, “Did I really return to this room by myself last night?”Michael lowered his gaze, looking like a dog scolded by its owner for doing something wrong.In reality, he only appeared to admit his fault but was still somewhat unconvinced deep down.“Jane, I never wanted to make things difficult for you... It was my first time…”Jane was rendered speechless.She didn’t believe that Michael genuinely thought it was fin

    Michael almost impulsively revealed the truth.But in the end, he held back.Jane misunderstood him. It didn’t matter if they weren’t even friends.As long as she could see what kind of person Zachary really was, she would understand his actions later.“Okay, I’ll do as you say, Jane. I’ll leave now.”There was only a door between them, but the soundproofing on the top floor was quite good, and Zachary hadn’t heard anything.He just kept checking the time, feeling it was taking too long.Just as he was about to knock, the door opened.He saw Michael carrying a suitcase as he walked out.Then Jane followed behind him.“How was it?” Zachary took the suitcase from her hands, his voice soft.Frank cocked his brows, then stepped away to find Charlotte, giving them some space.Jane was about to speak when the door diagonally across from them opened.Nina stood there, looking distressed, tears brimming in her eyes as she looked at Zachary.“Zachary, I feel so terrible…”Zachary

    Zachary’s threat didn’t make her panic at all.Even if the truth were to come out in the future, she would drag them down with her.What did she have to fear being alone?Either Zachary would become her husband, or Jane would walk the path to the underworld with her.If Zachary and Jane were to be in love, then she would let them be separated by life and death.She would like to see how they would love each other then.“Zachary…”No matter how many dark thoughts Nina harbored, her anger didn’t show on her face.Her pale complexion, paired with tearful eyes, looked pitiful.“I’m not trying to make you responsible. I know you and Miss Greenwood have just made some progress, and I know you like her a lot. I didn’t mean to ruin what you have, but last night wasn’t my intention. I resisted, but I just couldn’t push you away. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten hurt…”Zachary couldn’t remember anything after he slept with Jane.He had no recollection of waking up in the same bed wit

    Jane smiled.Charlotte observed that smile, feeling a sense of understanding.On the other side, the female doctor exited the room and respectfully reported to Zachary.“Mr. Collins, there are tears in the private area, and some redness and swelling, but it’s not too serious. I’ve prescribed medication. It should heal in a few days, but for now, no bathing, just wipe off any sweat, and avoid vigorous exercise or swimming at the beach.”Zachary raised his hand, and Roy escorted the female doctor out.He didn’t linger.But just after taking a step, the door behind him swung open wide.Nina timidly leaned against the door. “Zachary, I… I can’t see, I can’t apply the medicine.”Zachary’s expression was unreadable. “Didn’t the female doctor apply it for you?”Nina quickly responded, “What about the next few days…”Zachary replied coldly, “I’ll arrange for her to come again.”After saying that, he strode away.Nina finally removed her facade, her expression twisting into somethin

    Jane handed the juice to Charlotte and sat down beside her.Across from them was a small boxing ring.Zachary and Frank had already changed into their boxing gear and were standing in the ring.Both were of similar height, their upper bodies muscular and defined, and they had good looks—truly a visual feast.“Did Zachary and Frank bet on who would get married first? If Frank loses, what does he want from Zachary?” Charlotte took a sip of her juice and smiled. “He said he wants something big.”Jane laughed, glancing at the ring. “Those two are so childish. It’s hard to say who will win; I see them as evenly matched.”Charlotte didn’t respond.In the ring, Zachary tapped gloves with Frank.Neither needed to say much.They had practiced together. Their strikes were precise and powerful.Jane became so engaged that she pulled Charlotte to the edge of the ring.“Go, Zachary! Don’t let him win, push forward!”Charlotte couldn’t help but chuckle.When Frank had Zachary in a hol

    Zachary was at a loss for words.What were they like now?A coquettish woman was trying to move the coldest of hearts.Zachary had no choice. He tried his best to make himself prepared.He tried to crack a smile, looking like a fool.“Ha... ha...”Jane scoffed, “Your smile is as dry as your apology.”Zachary did his best. He sighed, “Is there any other request that I can fulfill?”“What counts as something you can fulfill? Isn’t that your comfort zone?”Jane began to squirm, wanting to break free from his restraints.“Only when you find a way to fulfill the impossible does it count as sincerity. Mr. Collins, please let go of me.”Zachary lowered his head, resting it on her neck with a long sigh.“I’ve lost.”After saying that, he raised his head and attempted to smile.His mind wandered to Charlie's foolish expression.But in the end, he was nothing more than a shell of himself.His face barely moved. There was no trace of a smile.Not even a glimmer of joy in those da

    “Because I, of all people, hate bitches the most.”She saw Nina struggling to contain her emotions and twitching her lips. She cupped Zachary's face and told him, “Remember that.”Zachary nodded. “Got it.”Nina turned to leave.At that moment, her face twisted with anger. ‘That wretched woman has to die.’Jane glanced at Nina's stumbling steps and said to Zachary, “I made your childhood friend run away. Aren't you going to comfort her?”“I won’t.”Zachary swiped the access card to enter, placing Jane on the bed but not getting up immediately.He lowered his body slightly, his voice low and melodious. “I only comfort you.”Jane stretched her legs, resting her feet on his thigh, gently rubbing against him with a smile. “Mr. Collins seems to have woken up to his desires.”Zachary held her ankle, but Jane preemptively pulled back and turned to wrap herself tightly in the blanket.“I’m tired. I’m going to sleep.”Zachary patted her through the blanket, his voice carrying a hint

    "I want to explain."Westley embraced her, lowering his head to whisper, as though they were deeply in love."I won’t repeat the same mistakes again as before, and I won’t make the same mistake multiple times."Jordan shrank her neck, trying to avoid him.His warm breath brushed against her ear, it was ticklish.But she couldn’t break free from him, so she could only try to move away as much as possible."Let go of me first."Westley lowered his head and kissed her ear."Since you’re here, let’s finish what we started."Jordan was unwilling. "You handle your own problems, don’t drag me into your competition with other women."Westley stared at her for a moment, not loosening his arm but pulling her closer."She already holds a grudge against you. It’s safer for you to stay by my side. Oh, by the way, just so you know, she’s a princess."Jordan slapped the cream cake in her hand right onto his face.She couldn’t hide her emotions, anger clearly written on her face.She wan

    Jordan finally finished planting all the saplings and now all she had to do was wait for them to bloom.But she probably wouldn’t be able to see the flowers. She hoped the pear trees would grow wildly here."Mrs. Howard." Buck brought her a dress. "Mr. Howard said that there is a party tonight and would like to request your company."Jordan refused without hesitation.Buck added, "There’s also an auction, with many fun and interesting items. Don’t you want to buy gifts for your sister and little nephew?"Mentioning her sister and nephew made Jordan waver.Jane liked interesting things, and Jordan couldn’t easily go out on her own to gather them.And now, she had the opportunity.But she didn’t want to attend the event with Westley."Mrs. Howard, if I were you, I would go."Jordan ignored him. He was on Westley’s side.Buck’s mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "When Mr. Howard broke your heart, you should have asked for more money from him, to get revenge and s

    Carter had hit a wall at every turn.He had also been poked at his sore spot, and his long-established cold and distant persona was on the verge of crumbling."Forget about Zachary and the others, after all, they’re not very close. But how long have I known you? You won't help? I even helped you persuade Jordan."Westley didn’t fall for it. "As for you and Mandy, no one can help. I can’t bring her to Nelana now. You can try convincing Zachary, maybe there’s still a chance."Wasn’t that just stating the obvious?Carter said, "If I could get Zachary's help, would I be telling you all this?"Westley replied, "That’s your problem. Who told you to force her? Back then, she was just a young girl, barely an adult. It’s normal for her to be afraid of you and find you disgusting."A flash of sadness appeared in Carter's eyes."I was just too angry back then. It wasn’t intentional...""I’ve said that too." Westley put down the binoculars. "You saw my outcome. Obviously, it was useless."

    "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
