The two men stood up in tacit agreement, ready to leave. But before they could take a step, Zachary was called back by his mother. “Let the family doctor take a look at you first.” Frank sat back down and continued eating. Zachary thought, ‘You really are my good friend.’ He could only sit back down. His mother instructed Julie to call the doctor, and soon Dr. Travis arrived. “Sir, let me check you.” Zachary nodded. After Dr. Travis examined him, he inquired about the situation. Zachary simply said it hurt and that he couldn’t hear well. No matter what Dr. Travis asked, he stuck to that statement. Finally, Dr. Travis said, “It’s better to go to the hospital for an X-ray. Hearing issues can be serious, so we can’t be careless.” The Collins family understood clearly that Frank was helping Zachary cover for him to go to the hospital to see Jane. They really couldn’t stop him. But recently, Zachary must have been holding in a lot of anger, which co

Frank responded with a nod. Zachary asked, “Is it to make her anxious first?” “Only then can she give things away,” Frank replied, closing his eyes again. “With her level of cunning, she won't be able to do anything if you have someone watching her closely. At this stage, her focus will be on the child, and she won't contact Michael again, so she can only end up in disarray.” Nina indeed heard what Frank said, but she had some understanding of him, a statement didn’t always mean what it seemed on the surface. The underlying meaning could be dangerously misleading. Right now, she couldn’t afford to panic. She had asked the owner for the footage from the escape room when she left and had watched it, there was no recording of her and Michael's voices. She could use the excuse of “bumping into each other while playing” to brush things off. But she didn’t know why, hearing it come from Frank made her unable to remain calm. She took an old phone out from under the

Frank kissed her ear softly, his voice charming. “We’re home now. How do you want to hit me? I’ll be at your service.”Jane naturally knew Frank had arrived. The couple hadn't seen each other that evening, and she guessed they were getting cozy, so she wasn’t in a hurry to bring Charlotte back.She focused on the medication, and just as she felt a bit drowsy, the ward door was pushed open.She thought it was Charlotte returning, greeting with a smile. “I thought you’d only come back at lunchtime…”What came into view was a face that, despite showing signs of age, was well-kept.She straightened up a bit. “Madam Collins. Would you like some water?” Jane reached out, intending to pour a glass of water.Madam Collins approached and stopped her with a gesture. “No need.”Then she sat down in a nearby chair. “Don’t be nervous. I just want to chat with you.”Jane enjoyed chatting with people and could strike up a conversation with anyone. But facing Zachary’s grandmother made h
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 782
When she first pursued Zachary, Jane intended to indulge in the moment. Who would have thought that she would truly become attached and want to fight for it now?“Madam Collins, I won’t sugarcoat things or speak in grand terms. I acknowledge that I failed to guard against Nina, that’s on me. As for me and Zachary, we’re inseparable at this stage, so you need not bother trying to persuade me. The future is uncertain, we can’t predict what will happen next. I only want to focus on the present. I can’t help him with his career, but I won’t create trouble for him either. I won’t force him into uncomfortable situations like Nina did.”At that point, Jane paused.When she spoke again, her tone was incredibly serious.“Madam Collins, if in the future someone holds a gun to my head and threatens Zachary, you can rest assured that I won’t let him be in a difficult position. Beyond that, I have nothing more to say. My head hurts, so you’re free to go.”Madam Collins studied Jane for a whi

Zachary naturally believed such words. He knew they weren’t just useless threats. But ever since he decided to be with Jane, he had anticipated this situation.He steadied his emotions and calmly said, “Grandma, if that day really comes, and you put Jane in danger, then my ties with the Collins family will be severed completely.”“I’ll make it clear. I will only be with her. You know what I mean.”Zachary’s words caused Madam Collins to be hospitalized in the end. However, it wasn’t too serious, she insisted on being hospitalized in the same room as Sir Collins. Regardless of the truth, given the current situation, Zachary couldn’t continue to oppose them.Though his family was strict, they didn’t constantly scold him. When things reached a deadlock like this, it was also for Jane’s safety. But it hadn’t come to that point yet.Charlotte returned to accompany Jane.Frank stayed behind to prevent any unexpected situations.When Eric arrived that night, he saw Zachary

Rebecca finally spoke up. “Zachary, we’re not forcing you. We’ve asked before if you wanted to take your time and carefully consider which path to take, and we’ve allowed you to do so for many years. But this leniency doesn’t mean you should fall in love with a woman and go against us. It’s meant for you to make the choices you should. You have to bear the responsibilities of the Collins family, that’s destined from the day you were born and it can’t be changed.”Zachary remained silent after hearing these words. They weren’t wrong, and neither was he. It was a deadlock.Madam Collins spoke again. “The Collins family has been passed down through generations to ensure its continued glory. We’ve put all our effort into raising you, and all our sacrifices were meant to see a return. You were meant to marry a woman from a powerful background, to share the responsibilities of the Collins family, and to contribute just as we have—that’s what you’re supposed to do. Allowing you to date
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 785
The two of them couldn't come to any conclusion about the matter.Charlotte helped Jane lie down. "Your head still hurts, so don’t think about it for now. It seems like a deadlock, and stressing over it won't help. At the very least, you should take care of yourself in a situation like this."Jane lay on the hospital bed, stretching her limbs and sighing. "This isn’t something I can just bear on my own. It's strange, isn’t it? I know my background will cause Zachary trouble, yet I still ended up truly falling for him."Suddenly, the door to the room swung open. Charlotte turned to see Frank and nodded to Jane before getting up to leave the room.She closed the door behind her and looked up at Frank. "How did it go on your side?"Frank replied, "Nothing yet. I suggested they put this on hold and deal with Nina first.""Did they agree? Not exactly, but they didn’t oppose it either. I just dropped Zachary off at the car, and they’ll be home soon."Charlotte nodded. "That’s good to

In the ward, Zachary peeled an orange for Jane. For half a day, they had said nothing. Yet they understood everything. Zachary carefully peeled the orange, removing the white pith as well. He fed one piece after another to Jane. After finishing one orange, he offered her some water. Only then did he speak, “What do you want to eat? I’ll go buy some for you.” Jane couldn’t shake her head yet, so she waved her hand. “You should go back.” They locked gazes for a moment, then Zachary leaned in and kissed her forehead. “I’m sorry.” Jane hugged him and patted his back. “You don’t need to say sorry.” “It’s not about Nina.” That referred to the words of his grandmother. Jane realized this and asked, “Were you at the door when your grandmother came?” “Yes.” “So you heard everything.” “Yes.” Zachary gently embraced her but then tightened his arms, wishing he could merge with her completely. “I told them I would stand by you.” Jane laughed. “That’s enough for

Later, he didn’t know why Westley was so determined to be with Jordan.Even now, he still didn’t understand.He had long known that Jordan’s mother’s heirloom would be auctioned, and he had put in a great deal of effort to prepare for it in advance.Before Nathan appeared, they had already known about Jordan’s background.Knowing that she and Jane were biological sisters, they began investigating.Zachary intervened to mislead the information, trying to prevent them from finding out.They simply went along with it, pretending they couldn't find anything.Westley’s attitude toward Nathan was the same—he knew he had made a mistake, and even being polite wouldn’t help anymore.This time, because of the heirloom, he had offended the entire country.The heirloom had never been put up for auction before, great effort had been made to orchestrate things so Jordan would receive them.Back then, Leanne had been waiting at the door every day for Westley, trying to solve the obstacles s

It was always going to come to this, there had to be a resolution.If Westley didn't keep his word this time and unilaterally tore up the agreement, she would have to take other measures."Can I give my sister a video call?"As soon as she asked, Roy’s phone vibrated.He handed it to Jordan.Jordan took it and pressed the answer button.Jane's face appeared on the screen."Jane.""What's wrong? Did something happen to you?"Jane moved closer to the screen. "Why are your eyes so red?"Jordan was worked up and shocked.She cried very easily."I just went to the auction..." She explained everything again. "I wasn't hurt in any way. It’s just about that estate..."Jane asked her, "So, you think he never hurt you before?"Jordan used to think Westley had stepped over the line before, but after this period of time, she felt that Westley hadn’t actually done anything wrong.He didn’t love her, and he was forced to marry her—why would he show her any kindness?If he had been ni

She didn’t dare to move.It was Westley who came over, holding her hand and signing at the bottom of the document."No, no, no!"Jordan quickly shook off Westley’s hand, repeatedly refusing."I don’t want it!"Westley chuckled. "Don’t you like money?""You can stay in this estate if you want, or you can sell it. If you sell it, it should be 20 billion dollars."Jordan’s hand that was holding the pen trembled.Her eyes widened, and she could hardly believe what she had just heard."You, you, you..."Westley forcefully held her hand and signed her name.Buck wisely left the room."What else do you want?"Jordan couldn’t say a word, her whole body frozen in the action of signing.Westley sighed softly and reached out to pat her head."Forget it, no need to say anything."Jordan bit her lip, unable to find her voice.She actually wanted to say that she didn’t need anything else.After all, the estate was enough for her to spend for several lifetimes.But for some reason,

Rhianna blinked her beautiful purple eyes and said coquettishly, "Yes, Westley, are you going to increase the bid? If you don't, the jewelry Mrs. Howard wants will belong to me. But it’s a fair competition, don’t get mad, okay?"Westley curved his lips, a strong and obvious hint of sarcasm in his expression."I could give it to you..."Jordan suddenly looked up, almost thinking she had misheard.But then she realized, Westley was someone with a deep sense of revenge.It was likely that he wasn’t increasing the bid out of desire, but to set a trap for Rhianna.Sure enough, the next words she heard were his cold, indifferent tone."400 million and 200 thousand. It’s not that I look down on you. It is possible for you to come up with 200 thousand dollars, but where are you going to get the 400 million from? Will you sell your family’s castle, or pull all the investments out of your business?"Rhianna wasn’t foolish. She sensed something was wrong and tried to get Westley to raise

"I don't like it." Jordan threw the paddle she was holding at him and stood up, intending to leave.Out of sight, out of mind.Westley grabbed her arm. "This is your mother's heirloom. You really don't want it?""What?"Jordan's head was about to explode. There had been too many shocks tonight.She still didn’t even know who her mother was.And yet, Westley knew that this was her mother’s heirloom?"Stop making things up. I don’t like this..."Westley still didn’t plan to reveal her true identity.Nathan was intentionally playing this hidden identity game.He was playing along.Besides, whether Jordan was from the Jackson family or not didn’t matter to him.As long as she was his, that was all that mattered."You’ll regret not bidding. Really, are you sure you don’t want it?" he said with a cryptic tone, guiding her subtly.He had already said that Jordan could bid on anything she liked.Yet here she was, hesitating.Jordan stared at the pear blossom jewelry on the stag

Her hand, resting on her lap, slowly clenched into a fist.Westley admired the change in her expression, silently smirking.Rhianna watched the whole scene and asked Westley in a foreign language, "Why does it feel like your wife doesn’t want to talk to you? Westley, did you intentionally arrange someone to act with you to reject me?"Westley answered indifferently, "If it were acting, wouldn’t the person I arranged cooperate with me? I made her unhappy before we came here, so it's normal for her to give me the cold shoulder. I brought her here to apologize and make her happy."Jordan couldn’t understand what they were saying and didn’t care. She was looking at the auction booklet.She was drawn to a set of pear blossom jewelry displayed in the catalog.She didn’t know why, but it felt as if there was some kind of connection.If the set wasn’t too expensive, she might try to bid on it.Her entire fortune should be enough, right?Westley’s gaze shifted over and saw her thumb ge

"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."
