Chapter 844

Penulis: 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

    Westley was indeed struggling.But since he was the one who made a mistake, he felt he should bear the consequences.Jordan, however, wasn't thinking about it that way.Although Westley was holding back, showing some reaction yet not too much.Jordan felt that Westley didn’t look too good.Could it be...This wasn't an easy topic to bring up. She hesitated for a long time but still didn't say anything.Westley watched her face go through a series of expressions and could pretty much guess what she was thinking.He flicked her forehead."Stop overthinking. There's nothing wrong with me—I'm perfectly healthy. Alright, now that you're better, just rest for a few more days, and I'll prove it to you."Jordan immediately pulled the blanket over herself. "Get lost."Westley patted her lightly through the blanket. "The guest bedroom is really cold.""The bed also feels hard, not as comfortable as the master bedroom."Jordan poked her head out of the covers. "But weren't you the on

    Jordan didn't know what to say, so she just responded with a nod.Westley left the room and took another cold shower in the guest bedroom.But no matter what, he couldn't fall asleep. In the end, he got up and started smoking.His assistant saw that their boss spent the entire night sitting by the bed in the guest room, smoking.He started questioning life itself...Jordan didn't sleep well that night either and got up very early.She moved too quickly when she got out of bed, and the moment her foot landed on the carpet, a sharp pain shot through her. She lost her balance and fell back onto the bed.Westley walked in just in time to see this happen.He took quick steps toward her and asked, "Still uncomfortable? You need to go to the hospital.""No..." Jordan quickly waved her hands. "I just got up too fast."She slowly stood up and tested a few steps. "It's not as painful as yesterday.""Then let's apply the medicine first." Westley helped her sit down. "Three times a day.

    Jordan had no idea what to do.She looked at Westley, who didn't seem to have any intention of taking the lead.Thinking that he might still be holding a grudge over what she had said before, she hesitated for a few seconds before leaning in, slowly pressing her lips against his.She wasn't very skilled at kissing, so she tried to imitate the way he used to kiss her, tentatively extending her tongue.Westley's eyes darkened instantly. He tightened his grip on her waist, flipped her over, and took control.Everything happened so suddenly that Jordan wasn't prepared. She let out a small gasp, but it was quickly swallowed by his dominant kiss.However, she hadn't expected that this would be so painful."No..."Westley clenched his teeth. He had done everything to prepare, but...Now, stopping in this situation was even worse than pausing halfway before.Yet, seeing her furrowed brows, the tears in her eyes, and how much she was struggling to endure it, he forced himself to stop.

    Westley already knew what she meant, but he still asked, "Since when did you need me to sleep with you in order to fall asleep?"Jordan clutched his collar, lowered her head, and stayed silent for a long time.Westley played dirty—he bounced his leg slightly.Jordan quickly grabbed onto him to steady herself."What does your silence mean?"Seeing the mischief in his eyes, Jordan glared at him. "I order you to go to bed with me."Westley finally let a smile show. "Alright, I'll listen to you."Jordan curled up under the blanket, listening to the sound of running water from the bathroom.She had considered asking Jane for advice, but in the end, she felt that even with someone as close as her sister, this wasn't exactly an easy topic to bring up.Besides, she had already said those words out loud. Westley was smart—how could he not understand?Forget it. She wouldn't ask anyone. She would just wait for him.Westley took a long time in the shower.Normally, if he didn't take a

    Jane gave a thumbs-up. "That was fast.""But didn't you just come to tell me that he was mad?"Jordan replied, "I was the one overthinking. Today, I found him and just dragged him straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau to remarry. I didn't even give him a chance to speak. That means I took control of the situation. I'm very happy. He didn't seem that angry either. I'll apologize to him later."Jane teased with a meaningful tone, "How do you plan to apologize? You're a legally married couple now."Jordan was just thinking about pouring him a glass of water and sincerely apologizing.After all, their argument last night had been because of that issue.She wondered if bringing it up again today would just make things worse.So, she decided to do something else instead."Well..."Jane saw her hesitation and didn't push further. "Don't overthink it. Just go with the flow. Handle it however you want. I'm hanging up.""Okay."Jordan ended the video call and looked at herself in the m

    Westley took a bite but made no comment.Jordan saw his silence and tried it herself.The toast wasn’t really toasted.Jordan scratched her face awkwardly. "Um... how about I just order from the Summit?"She had just picked up her phone when Westley pressed it down."Wait."The man went into the kitchen and soon returned, taking off the apron she was wearing.Not long after, he had already finished cooking a few dishes.Since the toasts weren’t fully toasted, he toasted them again.Jordan looked at the beautifully plated and fragrant dishes and gave him a big thumbs-up, praising him without hesitation."Westley, you're amazing."Westley cast her a glance and replied coolly, "Not calling me an old fox anymore?"Jordan protested weakly, "No bringing up old grudges.""Alright."Westley said nothing more and continued eating in silence.Jordan didn't like this atmosphere.But she knew she was the one who had created it.She picked up some food for him. "Eat more, you’ve wo

    Jordan grabbed onto him and kicked a small rock at her feet.Westley didn't rush her and simply waited where he was.After a long silence, Jordan lifted her head, her gaze firm, and commanded, "I want to remarry you right now. You have to come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau!"Westley looked at her indifferently and said nothing.Jordan pulled him toward the Civil Affairs Bureau.The man allowed her to drag him forward without resistance."Hello, we'd like to remarry."The staff member looked up and, upon seeing Westley, immediately stood up.In Nelana, Westley was somewhat well-known—except he was supposed to be dead.Now, seeing him standing there, fear overtook shock."Well..."Jordan had completely forgotten about that. She quickly explained, "He just happen to look like who you’re thinking and have the same name, but he's not the same person..."Westley let out a low chuckle.His assistant, sensing the situation, quickly went to speak with the senior executives.

    Leanne looked at the man sitting across from her.His expression was blank, exuding coldness, and he seemed obviously angry.She glanced at the caller ID, answered the call, and turned on the loudspeaker.Then, sensibly, she pushed the phone toward her cousin."Hey, Jordan. Congratulations! After all the twists and turns, we're still ended up being a family."Jordan thanked her for the blessing and immediately asked if she knew where Westley was.Leanne glanced across the table and let out a knowing chuckle."Jordan, Westley just proposed to you. Shouldn't you two be together?"Jordan fidgeted with her fingers and didn’t know what to say for a long time.She only asked if Leanne could get in touch with Westley.Leanne turned to ask for his opinion.Westley didn't react.She asked Jordan, "Jordan, is it urgent? If I have to find my cousin, it might take a while."Jordan checked the time."If you can reach him, tell him I'm waiting for him at the entrance of the Civil Affai

    Such a wonderful thing as a proposal happened today.Tonight should at least count as a wedding night, right?The assistant hadn't expected them to argue. He thought Westley might have gone out to buy something to use later."I'll take you to the supermarket.""Head back to the hotel."Westley gave an order in a cold voice, then opened the door and got into the back seat of the car.The assistant was completely confused but still drove toward the hotel.He had never seen a couple argue right after getting engaged.But as an assistant, it wasn't his place to ask questions.Jordan couldn't sleep.By the time she got up, she had two dark circles around her eyes.She was about to put on makeup when she thought about their fight last night.Would their remarriage even happen today?If not, there was no point in dressing up.She hesitated in front of the mirror for a long time before finally putting on makeup to cover the dark circles.But she still didn't look happy.After c
