Jane smiled, "Thank you, Madam Hall."

"No need to thank me."

Michael brought the food to the table. "Let’s dig in."

Jane was truly hungry. She first drank a glass of orange juice to get her stomach started, then began eating heartily.

It wasn't fully dark yet. The mountains in the distance were bathed in an orange glow.

The sunset was beautiful, and the small courtyard was very comfortable.

Jane's stomach was round from eating, and she let out a satisfied burp.

It was perfect.

Meanwhile, at the hotel.

Ross glanced at the dining table. Not a single bite of food had been touched.

Since arriving at the hotel room, Zachary had taken a cold shower and then sat by the window smoking.

He never expected Zachary, someone who was so talented, to stumble when it came to love.

Though Roy was currently keeping an eye on Michael's place, he didn't dare report anything.

Ross, hiding in the shadowy corner, also made sure not to breathe too loudly.

Finally, Zachary spoke up. "Has he arriv

    The truth was that Jane had fallen for Zachary and was hurt.But luckily, she hadn’t lost all hopes in life.Three days later, Charlotte arrived at Michael's house with her child and Yasmin.Just as they arrived, Jane, wearing a straw hat, rolling up her pants, and covered in mud, was coming back.Charlotte's eyes widened. "For someone who always puts on makeup even to take out the trash, what happened to you? Have you become stupid after falling in love?"Jane shot her a glance. "Can’t you think of something good?"Charlotte laughed. "I do want to, but this—this really shocks me.""It looks good to me," said Yasmin. "The most comfortable state is the most beautiful."Jane looked at Yasmin, who had a peach-blossom glow on her face, and said, "Ms. Jackson seems to be enjoying the benefits of love. You seem to have changed.""Stop teasing me.""Why isn't Jason here?""He'll be here in the evening. He had a shoot that couldn't be postponed."Jane ushered them inside and introd

    "What are you doing?" Michael immediately stepped forward, pulling the two apart and shielding Jane behind him. Frank pulled Zachary back. Zachary, who had originally wanted to pull Jane back, stopped. Michael, who usually appeared gentle and obedient, now glared at Zachary with burning eyes and shouted, "This is my house. Get out!" Zachary calmly wiped away the water on the corner of his lips with his thumb. His gaze toward Jane, however, was intense and burning. "Jane, come with me." At that moment, Jane just wanted to beat him up. "Michael, call the police." Michael immediately followed the order without hesitation. Zachary attempted to move forward again but was pulled back by Frank. Charlotte stood in front of Jane to protect her. "Mr. Collins, you two have already broken up. If you force her again, I'll have to tell your elders and let them handle you." "I didn't agree to the break up." Zachary's eyebrows narrowed as he spoke. "Jane, if you wan

    Zachary watched their interaction, his gaze growing cold. "I'll marry you." Jane replied, "You dare come with me to get our marriage certificate now?" "What's there to be afraid of?" Jane paused for a moment. "After we’re married, I won't have any contact with your family. I don't like them. I won't attend any social events as your wife, and I won't care about your affairs, much less cook for you..." "You don't need to. I'll cook. If I'm not around, I’ll arrange for someone to deliver the food from the Summit." Zachary’s eyes softened a little. "Any other demands?" Jane gritted her teeth. "I want 200 million dollars as wedding gift." "Okay." Jane regretted her words a little. "Uh, but your family is definitely going to come make things difficult for me..." "They won't. I’ll prevent them from doing so." Jane looked to Charlotte for help. Charlotte didn't expect Jane to put herself in such a situation so quickly. She looked at Frank. Frank smirked. "Ho

    "Yes, that’s right." Jane nodded like mad. "You really do know me." Charlotte patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, you won't be able to get your marriage certificate that easily." Jane asked, "Why do you say that?" Charlotte said, "Don’t you know what kind of status Zachary’s father has? If he casually makes a call, who would dare to enter your details into the system at the Civil Affairs Bureau?" "That's true." Jane had just been blinded by anger earlier. Now, she wasn't worried at all. Michael also breathed a sigh of relief, but he still apologized to Jane. Jane waved her hand. "Let's not talk about this anymore." However, she still apologized to Madam Hall. "Sorry for scene." Madam Hall smiled and said, "I'm old enough to have seen many things. This little scene won't scare me. I'll go prepare the bed for you. I have a room with a big bed, enough to fit all of you. It will be more convenient for you to talk there." Jane went to help. Michael p

    Frank looked at Zachary’s expression.The latter’s face didn't show much change, he was always composed. Even when he smiled, it was fainter than most people's.Frank understood and guessed Zachary emotional changes."She promised to marry me, so shouldn't you be happy and toasting with me to celebrate this moment? What's with sad look on your face?"Zachary crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray.He stood up, grabbed the entire bottle of liquor, filled his glass, and drank it all in one go.Frank pulled over a chair and sat down opposite him.Nonchalantly swirling his wine glass, he said, "You'd better slow down with the drinking. If you throw up, I won't take care of you.""No need," Zachary replied coldly, and then went straight to drinking from the bottle.Frank raised a hand to scratch his head. He then continued, "By the time you're throwing up and completely drunk, I'll call over a female staff to give you a bath and change your clothes. Then I'll take a few pictures

    "I don’t want to tell you anymore." Zachary clenched his fists. "Please, I'm begging you." Frank leaned back against the door, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. "Things are valuable because they're rare. You never used to say the word 'beg' before. When you said it the first time, I thought it was interesting, so I helped you. Now, hearing it repeatedly, it just feels boring." Frank was the kind of person who always did as he pleased, never caring about others' feelings, except for Charlotte. Zachary had gotten used to it over the years, but this time, the matter at hand was important. He had no choice but to ask, "What do I need to do for you to help?" Frank was usually playful, but there was a limit to his jokes. Small matters didn't matter much. But when it came to something as significant as getting the marriage certificate, he became unusually serious. "I won’t be hard for you to get a marriage certificate out of Jeswood. You just need proof that

    Yasmin exited the group chat, leaving the two girls to talk privately. Michael finished preparing the water and came out of the kitchen. When he saw Yasmin heading back to her room, he went over and handed her a glass of water. Yasmin wasn’t actually drunk. They were just drinking cider. But since Michael was being kind, she still drank the water. "Ms. Jackson, the hot water is ready. You can wash up." After the long journey, she did feel a bit uncomfortable. "Can I take a shower?" When Michael was taking Madam Hall to Jeswood for treatment, he entrusted the small courtyard to his neighbor, Mrs. Wayne. Aside from regular cleaning, the most important thing was maintaining the various appliances. The boiler in his house was quite old, but it still worked quite well after so many years. "Sure, the boiler’s on." Yasmin went to take a shower. Michael took the water to Jane and Charlotte. The two of them seemed drunk, and they clinked their glasses of w

    "She’s still sleeping. She drank quite a lot with Jane last night." Yasmin stood up. "I'll go wake them up." "Don't. Let them sleep." As soon as Frank finished speaking, he saw Charlotte coming out from the her bedroom. Jane came out after her as well. Zachary immediately stepped forward, and Michael also went over. Charlotte was about to say something when Frank shoved Sparrow into her arms and pulled her aside. "Sparrow's hungry. Let her eat first." Charlotte knew what was going on immediately. "You just want to help Zachary." Frank smiled. "Come on, let’s not be so mean to me." By the time they finished, Jane had already been pulled to the dining table by Zachary. "These are all your favorites." Jane shrugged him off. "No, they’re not." She sat down at the stone table, grabbed a piece of pancake with her hands, and took a big bite. Her voice was muffled. "Right now, I love the food Madam Hall makes. It has the taste of home. Yours may look good

    He didn’t even furrow his brows."If hitting me will make you feel better, go ahead and hit me. Just make sure I’m still alive after you’re done. That way, I’ll still be able to make arrangements for you if someone bullies you."Jane snorted coldly. "You’re the one who’s bullying me.""Well, I admit that." His gaze burned with intensity as he looked at her. "I can’t live without you."Jane sneered. "Oh, so because you can’t live without me, you bully me?""How can having sex be seen as bullying you?"‘He’s so annoying.’Jane didn’t want to talk about these ambiguous topics with him."Let go, I need to wash up."Zachary released her, but Jane, still irritated, kicked him.Zachary, however, seemed to be in a great mood.Once she finished her makeup and changed clothes, they went out to eat together.As Zachary introduced Nelana to her, Jane became more and more upset."You know so much about Nelana, you must have already arranged everything in advance. So, last night, you we

    The phone was still turned off.But even though she was angry, Jane knew that Zachary wasn’t crazy enough to take someone’s life just because he was upset.She figured he just didn’t want her to contact Dominic tonight.She would call him tomorrow instead.However, when she woke up, she didn’t expect Dominic to be the one calling her first."Are you okay?"They both spoke at the same time.After saying that, both of them laughed.Dominic was still a little dazed. "Do you know what happened to me?""After I paid the bill yesterday, two tall and burly men in black suits dragged me into a car, and I passed out right away. I woke up this morning, having slept on the floor all night. My neck was sore from sleeping on the ground, and I think I might be catching a cold. Achoo—"Jane cursed Zachary inwardly.How petty! What was wrong with putting Dominic on his bed?"One of my friends is a weirdo, sorry for the trouble."Dominic sniffed. "It wasn’t too bad. By the way, is he your

    Knock knock—There was a knock at the door.Zachary stood up to open it.Raymond handed him a chicken pizza.He sensed that the atmosphere wasn’t quite right and, gathering some courage, she asked, "Sir, you didn’t have anything for dinner. Should I have the hotel bring something over?"Zachary nodded and mentioned a few dishes.Raymond agreed and went to instruct the hotel.He happened to run into Ross on his way back and they chatted."I have no idea what Miss Greenwood might want. Mr. Collins doesn’t even know what he likes to eat himself, but he remembers what she likes."Ross, eating a sandwich, said, "Doesn’t Mr. Collins like roast chicken?"He remembered that when Miss Greenwood brought food to the Mr. Collins’s house last time, she had mentioned it.Raymond shot him a look. "You’re a blockhead. That’s what Miss Greenwood likes. Now, the things that Mr. Collins like are because they’re what Miss Greenwood likes."Ross blinked. "Oh."Raymond was rendered speechless.

    Jane said, "This is not something you should be doing.""I caused the injury, so I should be the one to handle it.""I'll do it myself!"Zachary held her hands, "You can't see the injury, you have long nails as well. What if you hurt yourself again? I think I should apply the medicine."Jane felt helpless."Zachary, I’ll just ask you one thing, can you understand what I’m saying?""I’ve already ordered pizza. It’ll be delivered soon."‘As expected, he doesn’t understand what I said,’ thought Jane.Jane was no match for Zachary in terms of strength or words, so she ended up crying.Zachary stopped.Jane immediately broke free from his hands and sat on the other side of the bed."Do you only feel happy when you see me in pain?"Zachary pursed his lips. "No.""Then why do you insist on forcing me to do things I don't want to do? I’m a person, not some item that you can do whatever you want to.""Is that how you see me?" Zachary looked at her, his eyes darkened slightly. "I l

    "I was just handling some matters, but I can't tell you. Please understand."Jane seemed to believe him and nodded. "I see."Raymond also nodded. "That's right."Jane smiled. "You were handling matters, but what about the others?""They also have their own matters to deal with.""So..." Jane’s gaze suddenly became sharp. "You all went off to work, but there's no one guarding the hotel entrance? Aren’t you worried that while he’s in bed with me, his enemies might come and kill him? After all, the bed is when a man is most vulnerable. You’re a man, so you should understand that, right?"For a moment, Raymond seemed distracted, as if he had seen his Mr. Collins casually asking him what mistake he had made.Then, with a cold tone, he would be sent off to Afrealia, just like Roy.The more you say, the more mistakes you make. He stopped explaining and simply said."Miss Greenwood, it’s not safe outside. You should stay in the hotel and wait for Mr. Collins."Jane didn’t believe the

    He placed the pillow behind her waist and asked gently, "What do you want to eat? I’ll have someone prepare it."Jane glared at him and said, "Get out!"Zachary took her hand and said, "There’s a banquet tomorrow. Come with me."Jane pulled her hand back and replied coldly, "You’re really sick.""Yes, and you’re the reason I”m sick."Jane raised her hand, intending to hit him. "Get out!"Zachary grabbed her wrist and smiled.Jane felt that he was seriously ill and decided it was better to just leave.But as soon as she lifted the blanket, a cold wind blew, and she quickly pulled it back up."Turn around!"Her teeth were clenched in anger, wishing she could bite him.Zachary's gaze slid over her body. "What are you hiding?""I..."Jane covered his mouth. "Don’t be such a pervert."Zachary held her hand. "The banquet tomorrow has to do with the purpose of your trip. Are you really not going?""How do you know what I came here for?"Zachary didn’t answer, just looked at he

    Annie saw the red marks on his neck as he moved.There was also a bite mark on his Adam's apple.Both marks told her of the wildness he had shared with Jane just moments ago.The thing she feared most had happened."And not even a day apart," Zachary said again, his voice was cold enough to send shivers down one’s spine.Annie met his sharp gaze, instinctively taking a step back.But then she felt it was wrong and moved forward to stand in front of him."What are you saying? I don’t understand," she said, reaching out to grab his arm.Zachary turned sideways to avoid her, and Ross immediately restrained Annie, kicking her in the knee and forcing her to kneel on the ground."Zachary!"Annie had never been so humiliated before.Since childhood, everyone had always revolved around her.She was given everything she wanted.Without speaking, people would rush to her, handing her things that were close to her heart.Zachary was no different, he had been delivered to her by her

    "I had wanted to repay you before, but you refused. Turns out, you were saving it for such a situation. Zachary, is it fun to fool me around?"Zachary lifted his head, and his dark eyes were filled with deep desire.He had been restraining himself, and the veins on his arm were bulging.But this time, he wanted to ask her for a favor."Am I really so unworthy in your eyes?"It wasn’t that he was completely unacceptable, but after all, he had previously forced her against her will."You can’t have lost contact with your subordinates.""Nelana isn’t my turf. There are people here who don’t want me here."As for his business matters, Jane didn’t want to know or analyze anything.She simply said, "Anyway, I’m not suited to help you solve the current problem. If you want, you can get some cold water, and I’ll go buy some medicine for you."The corners of Zachary’s eyes drooped slightly, and he looked almost pitiful."Is it really that hard to help me?"Jane nodded. "I think we’r

    Before Jane finished speaking, she watched as Zachary slowly stood up on his own.But then he suddenly leaned towards her.She quickly held him up.Zachary rested his head on her shoulder, his breath hot and heavy against her neck, so hot it felt alarming."Wait, weren't the people around you supposed to be sticking with you at all times? How did you end up like this, all alone?"She heard the man's voice, weak and faint."Take me back to the hotel..."Jane was really at her wit's end.He didn't even tell her the name of the hotel. How was she supposed to know where to take him?In the end, with no other choice, she reached into his pocket to find his phone.She searched both side pockets of his pants, but there was no phone.He was only wearing a white shirt, no coat.That meant his phone wasn't on him.No wonder he hadn't contacted his subordinates.But that didn't make sense either—his subordinates were supposed to be with him at all times.Before she could figure it
