"There’s a barbecue place on the fourth floor that’s really good, let’s go try it out. You can cook for me."

"Okay," Zachary readily agreed, but then he hesitated to move.

Jane pushed him, but he pulled her into his arms.

"Take it slow."

At the film set.

Jason and Michael had just finished their scene.

The staff immediately rushed in, each taking care of their responsibilities.

Jason sat down on a nearby rest chair, accepting the hot water handed to her by her assistant.

Michael, not yet of such a high status, quietly practiced his lines in the corner.

Jason glanced over and then got up to walk towards him.

"You need to step out of yourself when acting."

The sudden voice startled Michael, causing him to take a nervous step back.

Jason’s demeanor was gentle. "Sorry."

Michael quickly waved his hands, shaking his head. He felt much more awkward than before when he had met Jason.

Jason didn’t ask more but said, "Relax, it’s okay. I’ll help you."

"You…" Michael bit his lip. "

    Nina certainly had a plan, but she couldn’t reveal it now. She wanted to wait until Zachary and Jane were getting along well before she brought it up. She aimed to see them suffer through their separation, which would soothe her anger."Mrs. Collins, you want them to break up, right? Then just work with me. I’ve been taken care of by you since I was little. Although you couldn’t help when Sir Collins sent me abroad, I still remember your kindness. I’ve always wanted to help you fulfill your wishes to repay that kindness."Once these words came out, Rebecca found it hard to respond. She thought that if Nina really were to get pregnant, they could still raise the child. After all, it was a girl she had watched grow up. Even if they couldn’t marry her into the family as a daughter-in-law, giving the child a proper identity wouldn’t be a problem."I can see you don’t look well, you should eat something and rest. Don’t worry, I’ll work with you."Nina, having achieved her goal, felt v

    The director personally brought over the report. "Five weeks, the embryo is developing normally, but Miss Linton’s health isn’t great, and her mood seems a bit low. For the sake of the baby’s health, she needs to adjust herself. You should talk to her more."The director was one of their own, so he wouldn’t ask too many questions or spread anything.When she got home, Rebecca first told Nina to rest and then called Eric. He was busy and didn’t pick up, but he messaged her that he would be home for dinner.After thinking for a moment, she called Zachary. Zachary was in the kitchen cooking. He wasn’t surprised to see the incoming call. He ignored the first one.Rebecca called again.This time, he answered slowly, straightforwardly stating, "If you want me to come home, I suggest you save your breath."Surprisingly, Rebecca didn’t lose her temper. She calmly replied, "Right now, we can’t tell if the child is yours, but with a month gone by, you’ll have to acknowledge it for now."

    It was already the winter in Jeswood.The corridor's window was half open for ventilation, allowing the cold air to separate the indoor and outdoor spaces into two contrasting worlds of hot and cold.But Zachary didn’t cold. In fact, he actually felt like he was burning.Worried that Jane might be cold, he had only opened the door a small crack, but then he suddenly opened the door wide.Yet the next second, it slammed shut with a bang.Zachary approached and cupped Jane's face, kissing her.Jane felt the heat from his palm burning her slightly."Why are you so hot...?" she asked, struggling to push Zachary away a bit.Zachary simply picked her up, kicked off his shoes, and strode toward the bedroom.His kisses fell as he spoke. "Isn't it because you kindled the fire?"Jane liked him, and Zachary knew this all too well.But for some reason, hearing that sentence come from her lips struck him hard.Jane found it both amusing and exasperating. "Stop messing around and go do

    “How could I possibly have a child with her?” Zachary didn’t even glance at Nina. “You believe everything she says, yet you don’t trust what I, your own son and grandson, say.”The Collins family members were not fools, they wouldn’t let others mess with them.They trusted Nina only because it might help separate Zachary and Jane.“Nina wouldn’t go so far as to frame you with something like this,” said Eric. Afterward, Rebecca chimed in, “We can believe you too, but what evidence do you have to prove that this child isn’t yours?”Zachary replied coolly, “I’ll wait until a paternity can be done.”The Collins family understood each other’s intentions. Rebecca added, “We can wait, but it will take time. We need to wait until the fetus is stable, around four to five months. So during this time, you’ll have to take responsibility. If the results show it’s not yours, we won’t force you to be responsible.”Zachary’s mind raced, and he suddenly realized something.Nina’s pregnancy pro

    The instinct to survive made her mutter two words before fainting. “Help me…”At the Collins family's residence, it felt as though dark clouds had descended.While other places basked in the beauty of stars and the moon, the Collins family was shrouded in gloom.Nina wouldn’t just share the video with Zachary, that wouldn’t achieve her desired effect.After watching the video, the Collins family pinned Zachary down.Even his phone was taken by someone.Rebecca took the opportunity to turn off his phone.Before doing so, she saw a call from Jane.No wonder Nina said she could make Zachary break up with Jane, she had been holding back this trump card.This also reminded her of what Zachary had said before—that no matter how good he was to Nina, it wouldn’t matter.Because of the incident where she was sent abroad, a rift had developed between them, and Nina wouldn’t remember his kindness.Thinking about it now, it made a lot of sense.If only Nina didn’t come from such a back

    Zachary was too tired to argue and simply reached out. “Give me the phone.”Rebecca refused.Zachary's patience had completely worn out. “If you don’t let me check the authenticity of this video, don’t expect me to take responsibility. If I publicly declare that I’m marrying Nina and that she’s pregnant with my child, do you really think your plans for me to marry someone of equal status can succeed?”Rebecca hesitated, and Eric spoke up, “Give it to him.”Only then did Rebecca pass the phone over.Zachary handed it to Roy.Roy immediately connected it to a computer to begin the analysis.However, the results contradicted their expectations.“Sir, it’s… real.”Zachary’s expression didn’t change much, he remained gloomy.But upon hearing Roy's words, his eyes widened slightly.“You will stay in this house during this time,” the family patriarch, Sir Collins, said. “Wait until the child is born.”“Go and clarify things with your girlfriend. She doesn’t meet the requirements t

    Frank had never felt so speechless.His friend really knew how to cause trouble.If Charlotte found out, he would be dragged into this mess with Zachary.“Didn’t you see her taking the contraceptive pill?”Zachary was even more annoyed. “She took out a box and said she had taken it. I can’t let her keep taking it, it’s not good for her health if she takes too much.”Frank scoffed coldly, “You deserve this. Who told you to have any pity for her?”Zachary pressed his aching forehead. “Didn’t you think that since she started plotting, if I had forced her to take the pill back then, she would definitely have made me responsible for her not getting pregnant?”“Well, that’s better than her actually getting pregnant. At least there would be room to turn things around. If the child is still in her womb and doesn’t come out, who knows what would happen? If that child couldn’t be born, it would make you look bad.”Zachary had thought of that possibility just now.Indeed.He should have

    Zachary’s brows furrowed in anger. “If he hadn’t brought her, and something happened to Jane, I could tear him to shreds.”Charlotte had always known Zachary to be cold and composed, always cutting straight to the point and solving problems efficiently. She and Jane had once found it strange that he could be friends with Charlie, but now she felt there wasn’t much difference between him and Charlie.“Shouldn’t you, Mr. Collins, understand the whole situation before getting angry?”Looking at Jane’s weak state, with a large bump on her forehead and her hand heavily bandaged, he had no time or energy to gather the details.If Michael had colluded with Nina to set him and Jane up, he certainly couldn’t be a good person.From Zachary’s dark expression, Charlotte could roughly guess some of his thoughts.She slowly explained, “Jane tripped over the coffee table and fell, hitting her head and injuring her hand. The head injury was the worst, she blurred out and called you, but you di

    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
