Jane held back at first but then snatched the phone from me in one swift move, her illness didn't weaken her fighting spirit in the slightest.

"Jessica, don't you have a mirror? Or are you just blind? You can't even hide the words 'mistress' on your face, can you? And you, Ryan, who the hell do you think you are..."

I shivered after hearing those words, not waiting for them to escalate the conversation, I lunged forward and hung up the phone!

Jane wasn't done venting her anger. "Why did you hang up? I was about to give those two a piece of my mind!"

"Calm down," I said.

I originally felt extremely aggrieved, but now I calmed down. I poured a glass of water for Jane. "Actually, if Ryan really listens to her, it might be better for everyone if we got divorced."

Given the current situation between Ryan and me, letting each other go might be the best choice.

"Are you really okay with that?" Jane took a big gulp of hot water, getting more and more worked up. "I support you getting di

    "Stop embarrassing yourself!""Huh?" Tom opened his eyes and was shocked. "Charlotte? It's you... uh..."He scratched his head awkwardly. "I didn't expect you to be here as well.""Yeah, I'm here to hang out with Jane," I teased, pointing to the shoe cabinet. "Help yourself."Seeing him like this, it was clear he wasn't here for the first time and didn't need me to fetch slippers for him.Turning back, I gave Jane a puzzled look.Jane shrugged. "It's definitely not what you're thinking. I'm still single by the way.""Charlotte, just wait for my good news!" Tom had eased out of his embarrassment, changed into a pair of slippers, and smiled.Jane retorted, "Get lost, why are you here?""You said you were sick, so I came to check on you.""You come to visit someone who's sick empty-handed?""I came over as soon as you told me you were sick, so I didn't have time to buy anything. I'll order something right now."I tactfully carried my drawing board into the bedroom. I sat by th

    I was slightly taken aback. "Maybe."As adults, especially at such a critical moment, we would obviously think about each other's actions.But what I always wanted was never to have both the carrot and the stick.It was too boring.If there was no mutual understanding, then it would be best for each other to go our own ways. That was the best choice.Today was not a drinking session but a card game.When we were approaching the door of the private room, I suddenly wanted to go to the toilet. I informed Jane and headed towards the toilet.After taking care of my needs, as soon as I turned the corner outside the restroom, I came face to face with Jack.He happened to see me too. He cocked his brows and smiled. "I saw your name on the competition list submitted by the Frost family. I'm looking forward to the day we will be working together."Feeling a bit embarrassed, I smiled and replied, "Jack, I'm just participating. Can..."Mid-sentence, a large hand suddenly wrapped around

    It was the same old tricks.He would kiss me whenever he couldn't win in an argument.The man cupped my jaw and kissed me hard and fast, and his hands fell on my waist, rubbing me and making me shudder.I knew that if I let him continue like this, I would become too embarrassed to walk out of that door.But it wasn't up to me.He was overbearing and strong when it came to this. The power gap between a woman and a man was miles apart.I couldn't resist so I could only beg Ryan for mercy. I knew begging him always worked. "Ryan, you don't do this. What will others think of me...""Who? Jack?" he asked while kissing. The voice that was coming through his teeth was deep and sexy.I obviously wouldn't go against him at such times. I could only be forced to accept his kisses while explaining in a seamless manner, "I, I really don't have anything with him... It's just because of MS's design competition, it's only... well...""You're just using him?"His thoughts were extraordinary,

    It turned out that it wasn't my imagination or a misunderstanding on my part. Even my husband was now treating me as the person in this relationship who couldn’t be seen by others.While incessantly questioning me about my relationship with Jack, he also instructed me to hide behind the door and not come out.It was hilarious."It's not what you think." Ryan reached out to touch my shoulder. I instinctively stepped back, looking at him awkwardly. I didn’t want to cry, but tears welled up in my eyes in an instant. "Don't touch me."‘Don't touch me.’ My mind went blank in waves, leaving only this one thought."Charlotte, don't jump to conclusions. I just don't want to ..."Knock! Knock! Knock!The expected knocking interrupted his words.Jessica must have caused a scene in each private room, determined to find Ryan and me. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken this long."Go home and wait for me, I'll explain later."Before Ryan opened the door to leave, he left these words in a de

    "I couldn't ask for more. I heard you just left with Ryan. What happened? Did he bully you again?" She sent an angry emoji.Before I could reply, a voice call came through. I immediately hung up, stating, "I'm fine, I'm in the car. We can talk when you're back."Throughout the journey, Jack sensed my subdued mood and just let me be, not forcing any conversation. He gave me the space I needed to clear my mind.As I unbuckled my seatbelt before getting out of the car, I said, "Jack, about what happened today, please don't take it to heart."He slowly pressed the brake brought the car to a stop and smiled. "It's alright, I'm happy.""Huh?" I was puzzled.Jack turned his head towards me, teasingly saying, "Haven't you noticed? You haven't thanked me once today."I pursed my lips. "But I should have...""I'm not reminding you to thank me." He interrupted me with a half-smile, then softened his voice. "Between friends, there's no need for so much formality."I chuckled softly. "Then

    I also guessed that the person Jane was talking to on the phone was Tom. But Jane's anger hadn't subsided."Yeah, yeah, Jessica is pregnant! Charlotte is like the invincible Iron Man. She's already miserable enough and you just had to make things worse.""Well, I hope Ryan doesn't regret it in the future.""He's relying on outsiders to prosper. When he regrets his decision in the future, it'll be well-deserved!""Get lost. Don't expect me to help him persuade Charlotte. If Charlotte divorces him, I'll support her wholeheartedly, even if it makes my hair stand on end."I took a deep breath, leaning against the wall and sitting on the bay window. I messaged Nancy on WhatsApp.Nancy replied almost instantly, "Charlotte, you've heard about it... Yes, it was the day before yesterday. Mr. Frost's father personally came and transferred Ms. Frost to the CEO's office.""I'm sorry, I didn't know how to tell you. Are you and Mr. Frost okay?"I suppressed the bitterness in my heart.

    Therefore, the cost of medical treatment here surpassed that of public hospitals by a large margin. As a result, the outpatient department wasn't very crowded at this hour.While waiting for my turn, I felt something else flowing from my lower body again. "Jane, could you go buy me some sanitary pads?""Are you bleeding again?"Jane's expression became even more worried, and she sprang up from her chair. "I'll go buy them. If you have an emergency, call me. Got it? Wait for me here if I'm not back before the doctor's done checking on you. Don't go anywhere.""Okay." I nodded weakly.Before feeling unwell, I had thought apart from morning sickness, I wasn't much different from before pregnancy. Now I realized how exhausted I was. I had no extra energy left at all."Number 36, Charlotte Wilson, please proceed to consultation room 3."I sat near the door and entered when called, handing the report to the doctor. "Doctor, could you please take a look? I suddenly started bleeding tod

    Ryan, who had been playing with his phone with his head down, suddenly looked up. Unable to hide, I could only force myself to walk out.Ryan's expression softened slightly, and he said in a gentle voice, "Why are you at the hospital?"Completely different from his cold tone when confronting Jessica just now. If it were before, I might have sensed a hint of favoritism in his coldness.Now, all I felt was mockery.Before I could say anything, Jessica glanced at the doctor's introduction on the office door display screen and smirked. "Why are you seeing this kind of specialist? Could it be you've contracted HPV or something? This kind of infection only happens if you have a messy private life."She deliberately raised her voice and it drew many disdainful glances towards me.Instead, I breathed a sigh of relief. Glancing at the display screen, I realized that perhaps due to a shift change, the specialist shown wasn't the doctor I had just registered with.I also realized that even

    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

    Zachary didn't respond.He reached for another cigarette, preparing to light it.Lexi stretched her hand out, but he shifted his body to avoid her."You really have no taste. No wonder you were dumped."Zachary's brows lowered slightly, and he sat down on the sofa, exhaling a puff of white smoke.Lexi was very angry.But when she turned to see him sitting on the sofa, his legs casually crossed, and an air of inexplicable decadence around him, her anger faded a little.With his handsome face and indifferent demeanor, he was enough to attract attention.The thing about him was that, once someone developed feelings for him, even flaws they couldn't tolerate before would become bearable.Lexi didn't go over to snatch the cigarette from his hand.But despite liking Zachary, she still didn’t like the smell of cigarettes.Standing at the foot of the bed, she looked at him and said, "Marry me."Zachary only sneered.Lexi, unbothered, continued, "You don't want to keep being forced

    But at the last two steps, Sean let go of him.He stretched his wrist, which had been twisted, and turned to go upstairs.Sean blocked the stairs with a smile. "Mr. Collins, your blind date is already here. If I drag you downstairs, you'll be embarrassed."Zachary stayed silent for a few seconds, then turned and walked down the last two steps, heading into the living room.His father wasn't there. His grandparents were seated on a two-person sofa, and Rebecca sat on the central long sofa, with three people beside her. He glanced past them without looking closely.Not wanting to sit on the single sofa, he leaned against the stairs and stood.Rebecca smiled apologetically, stood up, and dragged Zachary to sit beside a young woman."This is Lexi Sanchez, the granddaughter of your grandfather's comrade-in-arms. You two used to set off fireworks together when you were kids."Zachary didn't even look at her, replying coldly, "When we were kids, all the children in the compound set of
