Chapter 884

Author: Lean
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

    It was as if he could hear her thoughts. “I only said it to you.”Jane pushed him. "Go sit across from me.""Isn't it better for me to sit next to you? If I sit opposite from you, you’ll lose your appetite."Sitting next to him would only lead to more physical contact, making her even less able to eat."Just sit across from me."Zachary obeyed, standing up and moving to the opposite side. He then filled her cup with some more tea."Be careful with the tea. It’s hot. Don’t burn yourself."The breakfast they had was satisfying.Jane didn’t want to spend more time with Zachary, so she planned to talk to Dominic about intangible cultural heritage and the national trend.But Zachary directly shoved her into the car.She couldn’t escape, so she turned her back to him, ignoring him.Zachary didn’t provoke her either. He sat beside her, focused on his tablet, looking at recent work arrangements.In the front seats, Raymond and Ross exchanged glances.Ross didn’t slow down while ta

    Jane rolled her eyes at him.Zachary, however, let out a deep smile from his eyes."Have fun here. I have some things to take care of. We'll go to the banquet together tonight."Jane couldn't care less about him, waving her hand.Zachary patted her head before leaving.A young girl, smiling, teased, "You and your boyfriend have such a good relationship."Jane wanted to explain, but she didn't think it was necessary. Maybe she wouldn’t come to this place again. Even if she did, she could explain it next time.She smiled. "Could you teach me how to make the embroideries?"The girl happily agreed.Embroidery was indeed very time-consuming and mentally draining. Jane spent the whole day sitting there, embroidering, only getting up to eat or use the restroom.She learned a stitching technique and completed a small piece.When she stood up to stretch her stiff back and neck, she saw Zachary walking toward her."Did you have fun?"Jane tossed the piece of embroidery at him dismis

    Although Nelana was said to be a bit warmer than Jeswood, the end of the year was approaching, and it looked like there might still be snow.‘It’s cold?’Raymond didn't dare to argue and obediently turned on the air conditioning to 26 degrees.Jane waved her hand in the air, trying to cover up the fact that she was a little uncomfortable."Your car sucks. It's too stuffy."Raymond also thought the car sucks. It didn’t even have a divider.Zachary smiled softly. "Alright, as you wish, we'll switch cars."Jane was taken to a private styling studio.Without hesitation, she chose red.But when Zachary saw the large exposed area on her back, he instructed the stylist, "Add a shawl. It's cold."The stylist hesitated. "Mr. Collins, the highlight of this gown is the butterfly lace design on the back, meant to expose the shoulder blades, with a subtle waistline..."Under Zachary's icy gaze, the stylist didn’t dare to speak further.Although Zachary wasn't from Nelana, he knew the bi

    In the end, Jane didn't keep the suit jacket.She walked into the banquet hall, and without a doubt, she caught the attention of many people.First, she was a stranger in Nelana.Second, her outfit, though not stealing the spotlight from the hosts, suited her perfectly and caught everyone's eyes, making it easy for her to draw attention.Some people were eager to approach.But when they saw the man whose arm was wrapped around her slender waist, they stopped in their tracks."Is she the son of the Collins family’s woman?""Of course, he has such a possessive nature, and he's had no women around him for years. This clear declaration of ownership must mean she’s the legitimate wife.""Annie, right? I heard he brought Annie this time, and their families are planning a marriage alliance.""No, I’ve seen Annie before.""Didn't you hear? Mr. Collins has a woman he really loves, but she has no background. I think she’s called Jane something...""Jane Greenwood.""Yes, Jane Greenwo

    "Don’t mention it, I know what you need."Westley saw that he didn’t respond, but didn’t mind. He turned to Jane and said, "Jane, feel free to handle this however you like. As long as it’s done well, I have no particular demands. But there are a few points to note, and I’ll have my secretary send them to you later."Jane bowed slightly. "Thank you for your trust."Westley still had to greet others. He turned to Zachary and said, "You take Jane and get something to eat. Later, we’ll go upstairs to play cards.""Have your friend stay and join us for a bit. Some of the people here might collaborate with you later, so it’s good to get to know them."Dominic was so excited that he couldn’t even speak. It was Jane who thanked Westley on his behalf.After Westley left, Jane patted Dominic on the back."Dominic, don’t chicken out! I don’t know much about intangible cultural heritage national trends, you should take the lead and talk about your strengths."Dominic scratched his head. "J

    Jane couldn’t be bothered to respond to him. She pushed him aside and went over to Dominic to chat.Zachary had intended to go over, but Westley called him over instead. He had his secretary go over to Jane to have her sign a few documents.Westley clinked his glass against Zachary’s."You're quick-witted, aren't you? You knew to find me as your fiancee's shield. Aren’t you afraid your family will find out and get furious?"Zachary looked in Jane's direction, his gaze gentle yet firm."My only wish right now is to marry her."Westley had known Zachary for many years and had never seen him care about anything so much, especially to the point of going to such lengths.His expression darkened slightly. "You now have a weakness."Zachary replied indifferently, "She’s not my weakness."A weakness could be used against you by your enemies, manipulated, threatened, and become something that shackles you forever.He didn’t like that. He didn’t want Jane to ever be in danger."She is

    She asked, "You said before that we should eliminate the root cause—there must be a way, right?"Eric sighed at her words."That was before. Westley can easily find a business partner. Jane isn’t the only person in the world who can take care of the business. Even if we do something behind his back, Westley won't openly confront us.""Yes, he would. If I’m not mistaken, he owes Zachary a favor."Rebecca was taken aback. "When? Why didn’t I know about this?"Eric raised a hand and patted her shoulder. "Calm down a little. I’m a bit hazy on the details myself. It’s not entirely clear.""It seems like Westley’s wife once went on an animal photography shoot in some remote wilderness and ran into some criminals. At the time, Zachary was in training and happened to be there."Rebecca thought back to the timeline of Zachary’s training. "Wasn’t his wife still a student back then? And at that time, she wasn’t even his wife.""But she is now." Eric gently pushed her to sit on the edge of

    Jane’s attention was immediately piqued. Earlier, when Zachary had introduced Westley to her downstairs, her shock had been rooted in the fact that he was Jordan’s husband, a man ten years older. She hadn’t expected to meet him so soon.Her curiosity about their relationship, especially considering the "marriage first, love later" and their seemingly endless entanglement, was growing by the second. She couldn’t wait to hear the full story. But just as she was about to ask, the door to the private room suddenly opened.A familiar face stormed in, fuming. Without a word, she grabbed a glass of wine from the table and splashed it across Westley’s face.“You’re despicable!”Westley, a man in his 30s who had climbed to the top of the Howard family, was known for his ruthless methods and deep scheming. The authority he exuded was palpable, and everyone in the room, even the most powerful, dared not make eye contact with him, let alone throw a drink in his face.Yet Westley didn’t show a

    She didn’t want to be the center of gossip, so she reluctantly sat down.The staff took her ID and handed her a form to fill out.Seeing that Westley also had a form, she finally felt at ease.But there was still some lingering caution in her heart.When she received the divorce certificate, she checked it over and over again."Westley, with your power, it wouldn't be hard to produce two fake divorce certificates, would it?"Westley tossed his divorce certificate to her as well."You can look into it if you want."Jordan wasn't naive. In Nelana, Westley had the final say.What could she possibly uncover?She decided to put away both divorce certificates for now and ask Jane to verify them once she got to Jeswood.Westley saw the flicker of her thoughts in her eyes but said nothing and just left.After the car drove away, he called Zachary.Zachary had just lulled Jane to sleep when his phone suddenly vibrated violently. He quickly declined the call.He tucked Jane in care

    Buck suddenly appeared and started the car, leaving the airport.He even "thoughtfully" raised the partition.The back seat was sectioned off into a small space.No matter how spacious the interior of the car was, it still felt narrow compared to the vastness outside.Jordan would touch Westley even if she moved a little.She was annoyed by his constant pestering.She raised her hand and slapped him.The slap was so sudden that Westley's face turned to the side.However, when he turned back, there wasn't the slightest hint of anger.Not even a trace of surprise showed on his face.He said slowly, "You can keep hitting me until you feel better."Jordan hadn't slapped him to resolve the rift between them.The issues between them weren't something that a few slaps could solve."Westley, why do you keep forcing me? It was you who neglected me before, and now you say you like me and insist on clinging to me. That's still one-sided.""Do you even treat me as a person?"Westley

    Jasmine didn't immediately understand what she had said wrong.But she really wanted to keep working with Jordan, so she suppressed her curiosity and didn't press further.Jordan saw Jasmine's dejected expression and realized she might have spoken too harshly.After all, Jasmine didn't know the whole story and was simply shipping the "couple" out of pure excitement."Me and him..."Jordan was still someone who didn't like to talk about her personal life, especially about this failed relationship."I wasn't targeting you. Sorry, my tone was off earlier.""No, no, no." Jasmine waved her hands quickly. "Ms. Hickey, you weren't wrong. I completely understand—it was my fault for not respecting boundaries."Jasmine was a professional and a genuinely good person.Truth be told, Jordan wasn't eager to let her go."How about I treat you to a meal?""Sure!"Jasmine had heard rumors that Jordan never gave discounts, not even to her own parents if they hired her for photography—they ha

    Westley felt that the younger man had just frightened his wife. Damn it.With her goal achieved, Jordan fell silent again.She thought to herself, ‘Westley isn’t as clever as others think at all. He didn't even realize I was using him.’How could Westley not know?It was just that, as long as she was willing to say a word to him—no matter what it was—he felt happy.Jordan had no intention of staying here any longer.After arriving at the hotel, she washed her face with cold water to calm herself down, and then she checked out to return to Nelana.When Westley found out, he intercepted her at the door."It won't hurt to wait a little longer. Rest for a couple more days before heading back. Besides, aren't you at least going to see the result?"Jordan had no interest in looking at the result.She only wanted to return to her grandfather's old house, to sleep soundly.In her dreams, she could talk to her grandfather, lean into his embrace, and draw warmth from him.Westley did

    She just wanted to escape from this place and hide somewhere safe.Because of this, the familiar light pear blossom fragrance on Westley's body made her neither push him away nor leave his embrace.In fact, she even held onto him a little tighter.Sensing her reliance on him, Westley held her even closer, as if he wanted to merge her into his very bones.They were almost at the car when the younger man rushed forward to block their way.Westley's cold, piercing gaze fell on the younger man's ankle.He immediately realized that this scumbag had been faking his injury."Buck," he said.Buck appeared instantly and pinned the younger man to the ground.The younger man, however, was unbothered. "There's no way Westley would appear in a place like this. And dressed so casually? You couldn't possibly be the famous head of the Howard family. Trying to impose as Westley? You've reached the end of your rope."When Westley was in a good mood, he might have humored a fool like this.But

    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. If you don't want to lose your fanbase, you'd better get lost right now."The youn

    The woman knew very well what would happen to her best friend.She wasn't saying these things to defend her friend, though.She had never liked Jordan.Not only was she jealous of Jordan's protection from Oliver, but now, Jordan had also become the famous Mrs. Howard.Why should Jordan, just because she was a little prettier, get such preferential treatment?She had known Oliver first and had liked him for a long time.But the moment Jordan appeared, she received all of Oliver's affection.How could she accept that?But she couldn't afford to offend the Howard family.After throwing out a few insults, she left.Jasmine was rendered speechless. "Who does she think she is?"Jordan didn't waste her time with people like this.To her, they were just driven by jealousy.They were timid, and it was easy to dismiss them.But Westley, now that was truly giving her a headache.Now, almost everyone knew about her marriage to Westley.It was so annoying.Jasmine thought Jordan ha

    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. Wake me up when we arrive.""Okay."Jasmine had a feeling that the upgrade was done by Westley.She had seen his watch—a limited edition, priceless. It could buy a luxury apartment.He seemed like an employee, but in rea

    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
