Chapter 844

Author: Lean
Her fingers had turned red, and they were slightly swollen, but the ring still couldn't be removed.

Zachary once again held her hand, gently rubbing her middle finger to ease the pain.

Jane looked coldly at him.

There was no emotional reaction to his careful and considerate gestures.

This was not what she wanted.

No matter how well he acted, it couldn't hide the domineering arrogance in him.

He said he would let her be free, but in reality, he had already tied her down without her realizing it.

He had confined her in a cage.

She wanted to vent her anger.

But then she felt it wasn't necessary anymore.

He would just respond with a few words that would make her at a loss for words anyway.

She couldn't even be bothered to shake off his hand.

The rest of the journey was in silence.

This made Roy, in the driver's seat, feel a sense of unease.

This suffocating silence was worse than an argument.

Perhaps if they argued it would be better.

    Jane felt like her wrist was about to be crushed, and tried to pull it out. "Let go, it hurts." But Zachary pulled her closer, holding her tightly in his arms. "Don't think these words of yours will work. They can't control me." His voice was cold and hard, clearly filled with anger. But Jane didn't care. She kept provoking him. "If you were really that capable, you wouldn't have been brought here today. We would already be at the Civil Affair Bureau getting the paperwork done. Zachary, you know it yourself. You're not powerful enough to beat the Collins family." Zachary's voice grew even colder. "I'm doing this for you." "I don't want you to." Jane struggled to get out of his embrace, but when that failed, she stomped on his foot. But Zachary didn't even flinch. Jane's voice turned cold as well. "Stop always saying you're doing things for me. Your family does the same for you, so why don't you accept it? Why do you have to go against them? Sometimes, I ju

    Zachary rebutted, "How can I not care? If it weren't for your relationship with Michael's grandmother, I wouldn't have kept her around waiting to match the statements with Michael. Even legally, without matching statements, we can't file a case or convict anyone." Nina was not surprised. She knew Zachary's style very well. But it didn't matter anymore. At that point, there was nothing she could do, but wait for the right moment to escape the country. As long as Zachary didn't send her to prison or kill her, there was always a chance. "Miss Greenwood, even if you don't like Zachary and want to break up with him, please don't use me as a shield. We're both women, can't we be a bit more friendly?" Jane snorted coldly. "When you were setting me up, did you ever think about being 'friendly' to me as a woman?" She replied, "Michael already told me, your little act is completely unnecessary now." Zachary chimed in, "If you don't want to see her, fine. Let Michael come

    Jane didn't let out a breath of relief until she passed through the gates of the house. She wiped the cold sweat that had gathered on the tip of her nose. Quickly, she walked toward the main road. She had heard about the power and influence of Zachary's family, and had imagined it in her mind, but seeing it in person was far more shocking than she had anticipated. At that point, she even felt that breaking up with him was the right decision. She was glad she had done it quickly. If she had stayed in a relationship with Zachary any longer, the Collins family would definitely have come for her. Beep— The honking sound startled Jane. Seeing the driver, Alan, her erratic heartbeat gradually settled. "Are you here for business?" "No, I'm here to pick you up." Jane sat in the passenger seat, fastening her seatbelt and asking, "Did Mr. Smith send you?" Alan nodded. "Miss Greenwood, it's not safe to stay at your place right now. Please pack your things. I

    The windows had also been locked, and there were patrols every day.The front door and the backyard offered no opportunity to escape.He lay on the bed, one hand resting under his head.He stared blankly at the ceiling.Nina had originally planned to take the opportunity to escape, but she failed. She wasn't restricted like Zachary, however.But with her abilities, escaping from the layers of encirclement was no easy task.Moreover, the guards at the gate of the compound had been instructed by the Collins family.The back wall of the yard no longer offered any chance to climb out.It seemed that this time, the Collins family was taking drastic measures.They would not allow Zachary and Jane to contact each other again.Recalling the words Zachary had said earlier.She couldn't help but sneer. ‘She’s the only person you will marry?’They had grown up together, but neither of them had ever loved each other to such an extent.How long had they known each other, really?What

    "Grandma is fine. Mrs. Waxon next door is helping me take care of her.""I had an tryout, so I came over. I didn't expect to run into you, Jane."Looking at Michael's happy expression, Jane couldn't bring herself to smile."Michael, about what Charlotte told you...""You don't need to say anything."Michael interrupted her. "From now on, you're just my sister. If you need anything, just call me. I may not have power, but I will do everything I can to protect you."Jane felt a mix of emotions. "There's no need to go that far.""Jane, why did you suddenly come to Leacoston? Are you on a business trip?"Michael changed the subject, but Jane felt she couldn't avoid the conversation."Michael, I think we should maintain some distance. From the moment you started liking me, if I can't return those feelings, then we can't even be friends. When I went to Larecton with you before, it was because I wanted to know the truth about that night in Heliafield. I also needed to relax. There's

    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

    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

    "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

    Leanne nodded, and there was sadness in her eyes.She asked, "Do you know that Westley has already quit his job and handed over the position of the head of the Howard family?"Zachary knew for sure. "You are the first female to take charge of the Howard family."The Howard family didn't practice gender bias.But there had been an old family rule passed down by their ancestors.The leader’s position was passed down to males, not females.The reasoning was that after women married and had children, they would be too concerned about their own family matters, unlike men who could fully focus on the development of the family.Maybe that was why she had cut off all emotions."Have a child soon."When Leanne heard Zachary's words, she didn't insist on taking Westley away anymore.She just spoke up for Westley. "Mr. Collins, you know Westley is sick. Don’t be too hard on him. After all, it was he who hurt my little sister-in-law, and he’s the most upset about it."She had to let Zac

    Carter closed the medical record book and put the pen in the pocket on his chest.He said indifferently to Zachary, "It's nothing serious. I have the miscarriage prevention medicine from my sister-in-law. It's just temporary bleeding caused by emotional excitement, but it has stopped now. A couple of days of rest will be enough."Jordan felt too guilty to lift her head. "Jane, I... "Jane covered her mouth. "I don’t want to hear those words anymore. Don't blame yourself for everything. When you’re scared, the first person you think of should be me. That’s because we’re sisters.""But...""Have you not eaten anything?" Jane interrupted and looked at Roy. "Go buy something. Something sweet."Roy immediately went to take care of it.Jane patted Jordan's hand. "Once you eat, get some rest. This single-occupancy room has a big bed, and no one will disturb you.""We’ll talk about everything tomorrow."Jordan didn’t know how to apologize or what to say.She was physically and mental

    Westley immediately wrapped Jordan in a blanket.So, he couldn’t avoid Jane's slap.After two slaps, the fingerprints were clearly visible.He didn’t care, reaching out to push Zachary out of the room.Zachary couldn’t see anything but Jane in his eyes.He was too worried.From the moment she received the news, Jane ran to the car, then onto the private plane.It was only a little over two hours of flight, but he was so anxious that his heart stopped several times.After getting off the plane, she rushed over.Now, she was extremely upset."Don’t touch me." He had no good attitude towards Westley anymore.He directly instructed someone to come in and control Westley.Jax also came in with people to protect Westley, but Westley stopped them at the door.Carter stepped ou t of the crowd, walking in with an air of indifference.He swiftly injected Westley with a sedative.Jane ordered everyone to leave the room.Zachary, still worried, wanted to call a caregiver.Jane pus

    Jordan sat for a long time after she finished using the bathroom.She wiped herself, flushing the toilet.Westley turned and entered, bending down to pick her up.Slap!A slap landed on his face.Jordan's hand was trembling, and her palm instantly turned red.Westley’s face bore not only the slap mark but also bloodstains, showing the intensity of Jordan’s anger and strength.Jordan had probably used all her strength.Westley merely tilted his jaw and carried her back to the bed.Jordan had no strength left to resist.She knew there was no point in fighting back.She couldn't break free from him."Westley, what do you really want?"Westley shook his head. "I don't know...""You do." Jordan exposed him. "You want me to love you again."Westley held her hand, his posture lowered to the minimum. "Can you do that?"Jordan stared at him for a few seconds before asking, "Westley, do you love me?""Yes," Westley affirmed.Jordan snorted coldly, her tone mocking. "Westley, yo

    The moment the kiss fell, Jordan felt the taste of blood.Her lips stung.She wanted to dodge, constantly retreating.The man followed her, securing her between the headboard and his chest.The kiss deepened!When his hot palm landed on her body, Jordan’s eyes widened.Her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.She tried to bite the man, but he easily dodged it.This only resulted in a fiercer assault.Tears began to fall uncontrollably.The kiss, tainted with blood, continued.The man tasted the salty wetness and paused.His eyes were dark, and he pinched her chin, kissing her tears.Yet, the tears flowed endlessly, like a running faucet.Westley moved back slightly, still gazing at her eyes, where desire still churned.But the harshness never left."Jordy, you can hate me, you can keep your distance from me, you can refuse to remarry me, but I can't lose contact with you. So, have a child for me.""You're crazy!" Jordan’s eyes were about to pop out. "Westley, li

    But Jordan did not call the police.As she hung up the phone, several tall, strong men entered.Jax also came in, standing in front of him to protect him.The men did not do anything to Westley, but the leader spoke first. "Mr. Howard, you'd better let go. We only take orders from Ms. Hickey. If you insist on holding onto her, then we will have to use force."Westley glanced at the "Collins" insignia on his chest, and cursed Zachary inwardly.Zachary, in the hotel, sneezed several times.He felt innocent and sad.Jordan looked at the time, it was too late.She did not want to waste any more time here."Do it."The men from the Collins family had no choice but to act.They forcibly moved Westley's hand off Jordan.But Westley was no pushover. On his own turf, he couldn't let anyone humiliate him.Soon, the two sides were entangled.Jordan saw her side was losing and was trying to figure out a way.Suddenly, she was lifted off the ground.The scene before her reversed.S

    Jordan got directly out of the car and walked away.She hadn't actually turned on the headphones, so she had heard the entire conversation between Westley and the driver.It wasn't really surprising to her.Westley was that kind of person.He could understand care, he could understand romance, he could understand anything that received positive feedback.But when it came to apologizing...He had been at the top since birth, always looking down on the world from the summit.The word "apology" did not exist in his vocabulary.The moment he said "sorry," she was shocked.Seeing his humility, his pleading, and his regret.But she hadn't been swayed.Because that was just a tactic for him, not a genuine realization of his mistake.Westley didn’t know that, during the time it took for him to pay, Jordan had thought about all of this.Right now, his mind was filled with the driver’s words.It seemed that, all along, he hadn’t really apologized sincerely.Anyone could just say a

    In his eyes, there was a flicker of a smile.Jordan was annoyed by his gaze.But she also knew that the more she ignored Westley, the more persistent he became."What I said at the hospital wasn’t what I meant."After a brief silence, Westley spoke again to explain."I admit, my way of handling things was clumsy. I shouldn't have used the filming excuse to get you to leave. But at that time, I really didn’t want you to see me in such a sorry state. I care about my image, and I deserve the way you treat me."Jordan put on her headphones.Westley was rendered speechless.It was really difficult.He had wanted to fix their relationship, to apologize properly and make up for his past mistakes.But he kept messing up.He kept pushing her away.Now, their marriage was really over.And the injury issue didn’t ease the tension—it only made things worse."Young man, your apology lacks sincerity. No wonder the young lady doesn’t forgive you," the driver said, unable to watch any lo

    Especially the ones she never used to like, she always wanted to try them.Jane's pregnancy was progressing smoothly, but the reactions were probably even stronger."I'll have Alan send them over. He’s meticulous, so Zachary won’t find out. But I won’t buy too much, just a little to show my intentions.""Love you! Xxx."To avoid Frank leaking any information, Charlotte said goodbye and went to work her charms.Jane scrolled through her phone and waited.Just as she was starting to feel drowsy, there was a knock at the door.The knock was rhythmic.She thought it was Alan, so she quickly opened the door.But she didn’t see his face.Looking down, she saw a little boy."You’re not my mom."The little boy frowned. "But why are you in Room 6001?"Jane looked at him, puzzled."Little one, you’ve gone to the wrong room. This is the ninth floor.""It’s impossible, I pressed the button for the sixth floor, I couldn’t have made a mistake."With a click, the door across the hallw
