Chapter 834

Author: Lean
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

    Of course, Jane would be happier if Zachary didn't come. But after their conversation about the proposal this morning, she was really worried. What if he really prepared an extravagant proposal for her? Charlotte saw the worry in Jane's eyes and said to Frank, "Go find Zachary and stop him from proposing." Frank replied, "We didn’t have as much fun during our honeymoon last time. This time, it's rare that our family is together, so we should relax and enjoy it. Besides, we didn’t have a full honeymoon because we had to help Jane. Charlotte, you were the one who said that we could have a proper honeymoon in the future. I compromised because I love you. Aren't you going to feel a little sorry for me? Taking time off isn't easy." Charlotte knew Frank all too well. His words were sharp, but when he wanted to, he could be very convincing. In the end, he still wanted to help Zachary in some way. "I don't necessarily want to break them up, but Jane doesn't want him aro

    Jane had already made the donation at the church entrance. But when she turned around, she didn’t see Charlotte. Jason came over and said, "She took the child to the restroom." Jane nodded and decided to wait at the entrance. Suddenly, a nun came to give her a flower. She thought it was some sort of blessing from the church and accepted it. However, Michael felt something was off, especially when, not long after, another nun came with another flower. One after another, the roses in Jane's hands kept multiplying, and soon, she had a huge bouquet. "Wait a moment." Michael stopped a little nun and asked him, using the local accent, what was going on. The nun replied, "I don't know. The father asked us to bring flowers to this sister." Another little nun, who could speak Cherian, chimed in, "A benefactor uncle donated a huge amount of incense money, so the master asked us to help him fulfill a wish." Jane immediately felt something was wrong and quickly tri

    Zachary stepped out from behind, and immediately, the little nuns scattered. Jane looked at his smiling face and wanted to slap him. But the presence of the Jesus statue restrained her. "You..." She was about to speak when he covered her mouth. "No foul language in front of Jesus." Jane glared at him and slapped his hand away. Then, she watched as he knelt down on one knee. He opened a small square box and presented it to her. "Jane, I'm proposing to you in front of Jesus. My sincerity is as clear as the heavens. Don't worry about my family or any trouble that we may come across in the future. I've also sincerely asked for Jesus's blessing. He will guide us. Jane, please marry me." Jane suddenly understood. It wasn’t that Zachary didn’t understand what she said. He simply didn't want to do things her way. Instead, he deliberately twisted her words and followed his own will, and did whatever he liked. "I won't marry you." Jane had come here to pray

    The power that Zachary had were something Michael could never obtain no matter how hard he worked in this lifetime. This kind of disparity, when mentioned again and again, was like an slap in the face. But even so, he still had to help Jane. "You don't understand her at all. You don't understand why she doesn't want someone like you, someone with money and power, but instead chooses to be with me, a younger man who's already plotted against her and has nothing." Zachary really didn't understand, and upon hearing this, he furrowed his brows. But he also didn't want to feel embarrassed in front of his rival. "She will eventually be my legitimate wife." "She won’t be happy," said Michael. Zachary replied, "You are not her, she will be happy." "You are not her, how do you know she will be happy?" Zachary didn't want to get tangled up in this childlike argument. "Don't think that because your grandmother's life is coming to an end, there's nothing left to th

    "You weren’t dating normally from the beginning. Michael, I’m only telling you this because I see you as a friend. Stop wasting time on Jane. Spend time with your grandmother in her final days, and focus on building your career. The future will bring you the happiness that belongs to you." Michael forced a smile, but it was bitter. "Charlotte, I'll remember what you said. We should go now. Frank's eyes are about to kill me." Charlotte said, "You’ve set her up, she used you, and now you're even. Neither of you owes the other anything. I left some money under the pillow in the guest room. Thanking Madam Hall for cooking for us. Even though we only stayed for one night, we still disturbed her. Michael, I wish you all the best." A deep bitterness and pain spread through Michael's heart, but he still showed a perfect smile. "Charlotte, you too. And Jane, I wish you all the best." "Alright." Michael watched as the luxury cars drove away. He opened his palm and stared

    It was the 21st century, yet there were still such retards around.This was the first time she had encountered someone blatantly staging an accident.And, if she wasn't mistaken, the person in front of her was the leader of this boy band.Some people's voices were naturally gifted—either deep and resonant or low and attractive.It was difficult for others to imitate.Take Westley, for example.His rich, mellow voice had been honed through years of practicing a London accent.It also had something to do with the experiences he had accumulated over the years.When she was younger, it was hard not to be drawn to Westley.Because of this, she never liked younger men.Especially those who hit every one of her triggers."You're quite bold. You've shown me the diversity of species. Are you trying to rip me off? Dream on." Jordan pointed to her shoulder. "A camera. I recorded everything you just did.

    The staff couldn't give up.This was an order from the Howard family. If she couldn't convince Mrs. Howard to get into first class, her job would be on the line."Sorry, this cannot be refunded. But if you insist on sitting in economy, you can do so at the price of a first-class ticket. It's up to you."Although it wasn't her money, it still felt wasteful.Someone like Westley, who had no shortage of money, wouldn't understand how difficult it was to earn money."Alright, let's go."Jasmine was much more excited than Jordan."Ms. Hickey, this is my first time in first class! When I first saw your work, I loved it, and now, I can be your assistant. I will definitely do my best!"Jordan was troubled and didn't feel like talking much."I'll sleep for a while.

    She became more and more agitated.Her face and neck turned red with anger.Tears began to fall uncontrollably as her emotional distress took over.She wiped her face forcefully and then motioned for him to leave.Westley handed her a piece of tissue, but Jordan didn't take it."Leave."Westley's lips pressed together slightly, and his deep voice carried a strong tone of apology."I acknowledge all the mistakes I've made, all the things I've said. I know that the harm I've caused you can't be fixed in a day, but Jordy, you can hit me, curse me, order me to work like a servant, but asking me to give up on you, that’s something I can't do."Jordan opened the door. Though she didn't say anything, her intention for him to leave was clear.Westley stood in front of her. "The interviewees weren't as good as me. I won't accept you rejecting me because of our personal relationship. I'm starting work now."Jordan couldn't help but laugh angrily. "Westley, do you look like an assistant

    "You can't reject me just without even giving me a chance to interview. And I don't accept your reason for rejection, you don’t even know what I’m good at."What professionalism did he have?Westley couldn't even tell the model of a camera.He had received elite education since childhood, and even in his personal life, he never engaged with these entertainment fields.Jordan didn't want to waste time.Even if, hypothetically, she did interview him, what would come of it? Was she really going to keep him as an assistant just because he did a little preparation?"You can leave. It's my studio, and I have the right to decide who I interview and who I don't."Westley just sat down at the door.When the next interviewee arrived, he would tell them that the studio owner didn’t care about what they were good at.He warned them not to waste their time.Jordan pushed him away and led the interviewee inside.Westley stood up and followed her."I've already turned you down, sir.

    After a moment of silence.Oliver signed the resignation letter that she handed over."If you're unhappy in the future, you can still come back.""Jordy, don't feel pressured."Jordan nodded, said nothing, and turned to leave.Since she had decided to open a studio, she immediately started making arrangements.In the end, she chose Nelana as the location.After this trip, she suddenly felt that avoiding Westley all the time was rather pointless.She hadn't done anything wrong, so why was it always her who had to wander around?Even coming back to see her grandfather had to be done cautiously.In the future, she would stay in Nelana, so she could visit her grandfather’s grave more often.She tidied up the old house that her grandfather had left her.The photography studio was opened in a small alley.Over the years, she had gained some fame, so there was no need to set up shop in a busy district to attract business.The studio's name was simple “J”.After tidying up alone

    She was still shocked by the fact that he had slept with Diana, and then came another gossip."Whose child is it?""Felix's."Jane couldn't help but clap her hands. "What a drama."Roy said, "Mr. Frost isn't someone who can be easily set up. He might have known exactly what happened that night with that woman. Doing this was probably to put someone's mind at ease."This someone was surely Frank.That was Jane’s guess.The next second, Roy answered, "That way, the person won't keep holding onto the past, and Mrs. Smith can live in peace."He was still thinking of Charlotte.Jane finished the last of her chicken and drank the coke.She leaned back in her chair, habitually patting her little belly.Zachary quickly stopped her with a swift move."It's not because you ate too much and your stomach temporarily bloated, it's the baby."Jane occasionally forgot she was pregnant, mainly because the early morning sickness was replaced by Zachary.With the help of Tanner's medicine,

    Zachary helped her into the car and asked what she wanted to eat.Jane blinked at him wildly.He understood.Nothing was better than gossiping and eating.Zachary had someone ask around."They'll definitely get you the latest and most authentic gossip. Now, let's fill your stomach with real food first."Jane leaned closer to him, resting her chin on his shoulder, and kissed his firm jaw.Zachary sighed. "No junk food."Jane replied, "But I really want to eat fried chicken."Zachary couldn't tolerate the greasy smell.Due to his stomach issues, he couldn't eat much, so he never paid attention to it.His sense of smell was more sensitive than those who were constantly around such strange smells.Moreover, junk food was bad for both her and the baby.There was no need for it."Anything you say today won't work."Jane knew how Zachary was going to react. "You don't have to be with me. I'll go eat it myself. I must eat it, otherwise, I'll be in a bad mood, and the baby will f
