Chapter 892

Author: Lean
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

    Zachary glanced at him coldly. ‘He’s always fooling kids around.’He thought back to how Westley had disappeared for so many years, without a word or care. Now, the woman was divorcing him, and it was his own fault.Jordan wasn’t the little girl she used to be, easily fooled by a few words from Westley.“She’s familiar with Zachary. They’re already a couple, no need for me to accompany her.”A scheming look flashed in Westley’s eyes.“This collaboration requires some promotional photos. Since you’re so familiar with her, you’ll be able to work together more smoothly. You should stay and help her out—she’s not familiar with the area.”Jane was about to speak, but Zachary pressed his hand over her mouth.She cocked her brows, silently accusing him of collusion.Zachary sighed.“You don’t lack photo shoots.”Jordan seemed a little convinced, but she wasn’t about to just go along with whatever Westley suggested.“No one takes better photos than you.”‘Flattering, with a touch o

    Jane slapped his hand away."Focus on the cards that you’re playing," she said.She turned around and told to her friends to start.Leanne handed her a lollipop and whispered, "This is the first time I've seen Zachary like this. He used to look at no one and was cold as ice. Now he's like this."Jordan agreed softly, "When he saved me back then, he looked down at me and coldly said, 'Fool'. After that, he never said anything to me again. Whatever I said, all I got was a simple nod."Jane had also seen Zachary during his cold period. Hearing this, she chuckled."You're exaggerating. Didn't he just talk to you a moment ago? That was only because of Jane.""Westley doesn't have that much influence. When he saved me, he didn't even know I was Westley's wife. After he found out, he went to Westley to ask for a favor. I can still remember the scheming look in his eyes. But I was pretty happy. Not many people can set Westley up."They were right next to the men, and it wasn’t hard to

    Jordan was unhappy. "This has nothing to do with you.""We're not divorced yet.""We're about to be."Jordan tried to grab her phone, but Westley held it out of her reach.She pressed her whole body against his.Jane sneered.Men’s tricks—he could fool young girls, but she saw right through it.She tried to say something, but her mouth was firmly covered by Zachary.She had forgotten.There was someone here who was in on the trick.Westley locked his arm around Jordan's waist, his eyes darkening slightly."You owe me money now. Until you repay it, you can’t get a divorce."Jordan immediately became infuriated. She stomped hard on his foot and ground it back and forth."I can pay you back right now. You can go with me to get the divorce certificate."Westley was like a big bad wolf luring a little rabbit into his den."Jordan, I’m the creditor. How and when you repay, it’s up to me to decide."Clap, clap, clap—Jane couldn’t hold back and started clapping.But Westley

    "Even if I have feelings for him, I still wouldn’t marry him.""His dad could easily destroy me if he wanted to."Charlotte had always known that Jane still had feelings for Zachary.The reason she had given up initially was because of Nina and Zachary’s indecision.Later, Zachary’s grandmother’s words had truly frightened her.She wanted to break up, and the main reason was to see if she could love Zachary enough to go against the whole world.But after visiting the Collins family, all that was left in her was fear.Someone who had always had to rely on herself since she was young was naturally someone who valued her own life."I only found out about Zachary’s trip to Nelana the night after the birthday party. But you had booked your trip to Nelana a long time ago. I’m not sure if it was because Zachary got the news and went, or if his trip to Nelana was already part of his work arrangement. I didn’t tell you earlier because I didn’t think it would be so easy to run into him i

    "Alright, those two are already having a hard time. Stop watching the show."In a hotel room in Nelana.Jane stepped onto the sofa, trying to snatch her phone back from Zachary’s hand."I’m on the phone with my best friend. It has nothing to do with you! What right do you have to hang up my video call!"Zachary pulled her into his arms, and with a flick of his wrist, her phone landed steadily on the sofa.Jane realized that she was too close to him and could feel the heat from his body.She quickly struggled to break free from his embrace.Zachary tightened his arms around her. "Shall we talk?""I have nothing to talk to you about.""Aren’t you supposed to thank me?"Jane gritted her teeth. "My thanks is dinner. If you want something else, forget it!""Dinner works too."Zachary seemed to compromise, nodding slightly.Jane was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but then her thigh was grabbed, and she was lifted into the air."Zachary!"When she was set down on the bed, s

    Jane didn’t answer, but asked, "Did you come to Nelana for work, or...?""For you."The answer to all her questions pointed in one direction.Jane stared at Zachary for a long time before switching to another question."Are you serious about what you said?"Zachary looked at her with serious eyes. "Every word I said to you, I meant it."Then there was nothing more to say.Jane kissed him on the chin and then turned over to sleep.Zachary embraced her from behind, his deep, attractive voice whispering in her ear."What does kissing me mean?""It’s exactly what you think." Jane nudged him with her elbow. "I’m really tired, stop bothering me."That night, the rarely active Zachary updated his social media.There was only one picture.A large hand holding a small one, and on her finger, was a diamond ring.Frank commented, "You two are back together?"Zachary replied, "Yep."Charlie, who hadn’t seen Frank’s comment, learned that the Greyson family was about to marry into th

    "Do you have any way to resolve the current dilemma?"Rebecca had none.Neither did anyone else in the Collins family.With this move, Zachary had them cornered.Madam Collins, holding her bracelet, said, "When there’s no way out, sometimes one should just wait. Maybe one day, a solution will come."When Jane woke up, Zachary was not beside her.She grabbed her phone, and a call came in.She initially thought it was Zachary, but it was actually Charlotte."Hey, babe.""Sounds like you're in a good mood."Jane smiled. "I guess."Charlotte mentioned Zachary’s recent social media post, and Jane minimized the call page to take a look.She muttered to Charlotte, "Typical."Charlotte chuckled. "He never posted anything on social media."Jane refreshed the page a few times. "True, this is the only one."Charlotte said, "I’m getting on a plane, I’ve sent you the itinerary. Please, Miss Greenwood, spare some time from your love life to pick me up."Jane was a little confused. "W

    She had set an emergency contact and pressed the power button five times in quick succession.But Charlotte was on the plane and couldn’t receive her call.The airport police arrived quickly, but they were blocked outside the cafe by the black-suited bodyguards.Jane couldn’t help but mutter under her breath. “Looks like they have a powerful background.”Taking advantage of the moment, she called Zachary.As soon as the call connected, the bodyguards dispersed.Jane saw a familiar face walking toward her."Jane, please hand Jordan over.""Jane?"On the other end of the line, she heard Zachary calling her name. Jane responded, "I thought it was... It’s Mr. Howard. It’s fine now. Don’t worry."Zachary let out a sigh of relief. "I’ll be right there.""No need, Mr. Howard won’t do anything to me. Aren’t you busy? Don’t cause trouble."Zachary knew exactly what kind of person Westley was.Especially since he couldn’t find his wife right now, he was a man who would cut ties with

    The fireworks were dazzling and brilliant.Westley looked up in a certain direction.At the moment the fireworks bloomed, a figure appeared in the window of that place.Jordan couldn’t sleep because of Westley’s injury.As she tossed and turned in bed, a sudden bright light appeared in front of the window.She walked over to the window, opened it, and saw the fireworks bursting in the night sky.There seemed to be a few figures on the beach.But Westley was tall enough that she could spot him at a glance.At that moment, she forgot to watch the fireworks.It was only when Westley raised his hand and pointed upward that she looked up.She realized that the fireworks formed a few words.“I’m sorry, Jordan.”“Happy birthday.”Jordan had originally planned to spend her birthday with Nathan and Jane.But when she was brought over by Westley, she completely forgot about her birthday.She glanced at the time, and it was exactly midnight.Her birthday had begun.The night sky

    Jordan had eaten and drunk enough and was about to return to her room.Westley called out to her."Wait a moment."Jordan ignored him and kept on walking.But Westley grabbed her arms and she was pulled back.She lost her balance and fell into the man's arms.As she fell, she instinctively reached out to support herself.She felt something change under her hand.Jordan jumped up as if she had been burned.She forgot there was a grill nearby, and as she was about to fall into it, she was pulled away by a force.She only heard a series of cracking sounds, and she landed on something soft but firm.When she looked closely, it was Westley's chest. She was in his arms, and his tall frame was completely shielding her.Before she could react, Buck and the others arrived.The area was crowded."Quick, put out the fire!""Call a doctor. Don’t move Mr. Howard. Help Mrs. Howard up."Jordan was stunned as she was pulled up.It was then that she saw the scene on the ground.The gr

    Frank took the soup from her hands and drank it in a few gulps.Then he pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately.It had been several days since they had been close like this.The heat built up quickly.By the time Charlotte reacted, she was already lying on the bed.She covered his mouth and gently pushed him away a little."Let's finish talking about the important things.""This is the important thing," Frank said as he moved her hand away and pressed it on top of her head. He bent down and started unbuttoning her blouse."Frank..."Charlotte's voice was broken by his actions.After several days of separation, his movements were obviously more intense.She couldn't hold back, and the corners of her eyes filled with tears, as the wave of emotions overwhelmed her...Zachary set the food on the dining table and went to the bedroom to carry Jane out.But Jane wanted to walk by herself, and Zachary helped her sit down.Jane picked up her cutlery and started eatin

    "Mr. Jackson, what are you talking about? Westley isn’t a fool. Since he managed to take Jordan from your turf in Impelia, it shows he was well-prepared. This preparation probably started a long time ago, and once he found out you were Jordan's cousin, he just sped up the process."Nathan caught the key point. "So, you and Zachary both guessed that Westley would take Jordan and make all the necessary preparations, but you didn’t say a word?"Frank leaned against the doorframe lazily and said, "I don’t know, I’m not close to Westley. As for Zachary, I’m not sure either. Recently, he’s been too busy with his wife and hasn’t been drinking with me anymore."Nathan didn’t believe him, but didn’t say much.Westley taking Jordan from him was his fault.When he was younger, he couldn’t protect his cousin from being taken away.Now, even with power in his hands, he still couldn’t do anything.He had to ask others for help."You keep searching abroad, I’ll assist you domestically."

    On the small table beside them, there were several bottles cluttered around.There were no labels on them.Jordan was cautious and didn’t drink immediately. She picked up a bottle, sniffed it to make sure there was no alcohol smell before inserting the straw and sipping slowly.Westley lit a cigarette, biting it at the corner of his mouth. He flipped the lamb skewers over and sprinkled them with cumin.Watching her unnecessary actions, he laughed. "It doesn’t really matter if you’re drunk or not. On my turf, if I want to do something, do you think you can resist?"Jordan paused.She suddenly remembered that the bet wasn’t clearly defined.“Westley, you said that if I’m moved, but before I’m moved, you can’t do anything out of line. You’re clear about that, right?”Westley handed her the grilled lamb skewer and flicked the ash off his cigarette.He glanced at her and said deliberately, "Wrong."Jordan took a big bite of the lamb skewer.She couldn’t help but exclaim, "So deli

    Jordan finished her meal and was taken away by Westley.They took a helicopter and then transferred to a ship.In the end, she had no idea where they were.The journey was bumpy, and after days and nights, she was physically and mentally exhausted.Yet, she refused to say a word to Westley.She buried herself under the blankets.Everything she could say or do, she had already done.Now, she could only pray for heaven to open its eyes and make Westley a decent person, letting her go back."How about a bet?"Westley pulled the blanket off, helping her sit up."There are still some days before Jane gives birth.""We’ll forget our grudges for now. If, during this time, you can develop feelings for me, then you’ll lose, and we’ll remarry. If you don’t fall for me, I’ll let you go back."Jordan's mind was racing.She felt like Westley wouldn’t let her go so easily.But there was no flaw in his words.For her, it still seemed to give her an advantage.After all, she only felt

    Jane said lightly, “Do you think Westley would let you find him easily?”“No, but if we keep chasing him, we will eventually find him.” Zachary brought the food to her. “Eat something.”Jane refused his feeding, took the plate and ate by herself.Zachary then placed some more food in front of her.Jane said, “You don’t need to take care of me. I can eat by myself. You should eat too.”Those words made Zachary feel a sense of relief.It seemed she wasn’t angry, nor was she blaming him.“This matter was indeed my oversight. I thought that since Jordan was with your cousin in Impelia, Westley wouldn’t be able to reach her. But I never expected that he would be so bold and take Jordan away directly.”Jane understood. “You want me to put the blame on my cousin, right?”Zachary replied without changing his expression, “How could that be? This matter is entirely my responsibility.”Jane didn’t say anything, only remarking, “When I give birth, I want to see Jordan.”Zachary reassure

    Westley handed her the phone.“Tell him yourself.”Jordan was surprised the moment she took the phone, but then she realized something didn’t feel right.He gave it to her so easily...She snapped, “You did this on purpose!”Westley didn’t deny it.Jordan didn’t care much about that anymore and immediately dialed Zachary’s number.When Zachary saw the caller ID, his right eyelid twitched violently.Frank glanced at him. “Why aren’t you answering?”Zachary sighed in frustration. “Stop watching the show, you answer it.”Frank raised his hands. “My wife and your wife are on the same page.”Frank’s position was the same as Zachary’s. He didn’t dare answer the phone either.He pursed his lips as he didn’t have the right to criticize Frank.This phone felt like something that neither of them wanted to have anything to do with.In the end, Zachary still answered it.“Westley, you only have one chance...”“It’s me, Zachary.”Zachary thought something was terribly wrong. “Give

    Westley was indeed cunning, but when Zachary said he couldn’t guess Westley’s plan, that was purely pretending to be ignorant.Even he knew that intercepting a plane wouldn’t work.Since Nathan was pursuing so closely, if Westley wanted to take someone away, he must have prepared multiple plans.For example, parachuting mid-way.But he was enjoying watching the drama and didn’t expose it.“I do have some responsibility in this matter.” Nathan was always someone who took responsibility for his actions. “But the responsibility of not saving Jordan falls on you.”Zachary felt like his head was going to explode.He could roughly guess where Westley had parachuted.But that place had many landing spots, and it wasn’t something that could be found in just a day or two.Moreover, since Westley dared to take Jordan away from Nathan, he must have made detailed plans.Knowing they were searching, he would definitely change locations.This was a tug-of-war.It was hard to explain to J
