"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
"You were supposed to tell me some things I wanted to know, you can’t ask for a reward, understand?""I understand."Zachary seemed to understand, and after saying that, he picked up his coffee and took a sip, showing no intention of speaking further.Jane waited for a while, then realized something was off.She glared at him. "So, no reward means you won’t speak, right?"Zachary curved his lips into a faint smile. "How am I supposed to tell you something that I’m not sure of?"‘Damn it! He’s being pretentious again.’Jane gritted her teeth. "With that kind of mind, you should be serving the people, not using it on me."Zachary murmured, "Are you the people?""Of course, I am.""Are you satisfied with my service? Give me a score of ten if you’re satisfied. I’ll keep working harder."Jane didn’t want to continue talking to him. "This is boring."She stood up to leave, but Zachary grabbed her wrist."Aren’t you curious anymore?""No, I’m not," Jane said through gnashed teet
Zachary's eyes immediately darkened."What's wrong?" Jane asked when she saw the change in his expression.Zachary put away his phone and shook his head. "Let’s get you home first."At that moment, Charlotte's call came through.Jane answered it.As soon as they met, Charlotte asked anxiously, "What happened? Why did you make an emergency call?"Jane took her hand and explained, "Don’t worry. It was a misunderstanding. Zachary has already sorted it out."When they reached the car, Zachary didn’t get in. He instructed Ross to make sure the two of them were safely sent off.Jane let Charlotte get in first, then looked at Zachary without saying anything.Zachary reached out, scratching the space between his eyebrows with his index finger. Finally, he decided to tell her the truth."Luthor Winston has arrived."The name "Luthor Winston" sounded familiar to Jane, but she couldn’t place it right away.However, she had heard of the surname "Winston.""The Winston family?"Zachar
"I still stand by my previous statement. No matter what decision you make, I’ll support you. If you need help or someone to rely on, I’m here for you."Jane took a while to process this. "So, what you're saying is that the Winston family actually wants the Collins family to be the figurehead, and Zachary used that point to create a protective circle around me?"Charlotte nodded.Jane scratched her head. "So, the Winston family is making a move because they’ve seen Zachary’s abilities and are starting to plan and prepare?"Charlotte nodded again.Jane sighed. "What can I do about it?""Just take care of yourself.""What good will that do him?"Charlotte smiled. "Taking of yourself is the most important thing. You have to be vigilant."Jane pouted. "I’m not that foolish."She sighed again. "This is the path I chose and there’s no turning back."Charlotte tilted her head. "This sounds like you want to be with him for the rest of your life.""What else can I do? I can’t shake h
Frank leaned back in his chair, his hand resting behind Charlotte. He said lazily, "We’re a married couple. You two should be more mindful of your public image."Zachary retorted, "Stop showing off."Frank shot back, "Only married people are qualified to talk to me like that.""Enough," Jane and Charlotte spoke simultaneously, "We’re all the same. No one should say anything about anyone."Frank wasn’t someone who would easily keep quiet."Don’t forget, you owe me a favor. Watch your words, or I might ask you to do something. Don’t say I didn’t warn you."He had already gotten ahead of Zachary in terms of love, marriage, and children.And considering Sparrow’s personality, if Zachary had a son and formed a family tie, he’d lose again.At that moment, he honestly had nothing to compare with.Zachary wasn’t pleased and spoke, "Fine."Frank was satisfied. "Tonight, you’re treating. I’ll see what I feel like eating. Oh, maybe something that help you last longer in bed."Charlotte
The baby really did kick out."Truly a mischievous little brat."Jane laughed, her soft hand resting on his large palm, a mischievous glint in her eyes."As long as there’s someone that he’ll listen to, I, as his mother, won’t have to worry anymore."Zachary wanted a daughter like Jane.But as long as it was her child, even if it was a son, he would be fine with it.However, the son she painstakingly gave birth to was for someone else."Sparrow really looks like Frank. Aren't you worried that he might bully your son?"Jane wasn’t worried, "If my son is as clever as you, he wouldn’t necessarily be the one getting bullied."These things were still too early to discuss.Zachary stopped the conversation. "Come and sleep with me, honey."As soon as he finished speaking, the door was knocked on loudly.Zachary was about to curse.Jane calmly smoothed out his messy hair that had been pushed up from sleeping."Get some sleep. I'll go answer it. This time, I’ll make sure to handle
"Miss Howard, regarding this matter, Mr. Howard said that he will not get involved. You can look into this matter, but he doesn't recommend you getting involved."Leanne expressed concern, "But I'm afraid that Zachary might be threatened this time, and if he’s angry, he won’t handle things properly. You saw my cousin's condition. What if later, he and Jordy are still at odds? What should we do then? Carter didn’t achieve his goal this time, so who knows how he will retaliate next time."The possibility of Carter seeking revenge was slim.Since he managed to get Zachary to agree, he would certainly continue to follow Zachary and make sure this matter was handled.In the future, if something happened to Westley, Carter would still be the one to deal with it."You don’t need to worry about this. Zachary will handle it."Leanne couldn’t match Zachary’s intellect,Which was why she wanted to make some preparations beforehand."Alright, I’ll keep an eye on things."Buck went to arra
Nathan said, "It can't be fake, it has to be real.""Fine, fine, fine," Max, tired of dealing with this pampered younger sister obsession, replied. "I'll make an announcement about the delay."Nathan thought of something, "Notify that assistant."Max purposely asked, "Which assistant?"Nathan hung up the phone directly.Max clicked his tongue, realizing that he couldn’t joke around.It was really boring.He found Jasmine's number and called, introducing himself and mentioning the delay.Jasmine was more concerned about Jordan. She had been unable to contact her, but after messaging Charlotte, she got a reply saying not to worry, Jordan was fine.But now the shooting had to be postponed because Jordan wasn’t feeling well.She didn’t know who to believe."Is Jordan okay?""She's fine. Don’t worry."Jasmine sensed something was off. "Mr. Jenson your voice sounds different."Max quickly lied, "I'm his assistant, but I haven’t been in touch with you, so I’m giving you his name
When Zachary entered the password for the second time, the door was opened.Charlotte, with sharp eyes, came out and quickly pulled Frank away.When Frank tried to speak, she covered his mouth.As soon as the elevator doors closed, Frank pressed her against the wall, trapping her in the corner, pulling her into his arms."Since when are you an authoritarian, not letting me speak?"Charlotte pushed him. "There are cameras."Frank didn’t even look back, "I’m blocking the view, they can’t see.""Did you miss me?"Charlotte smiled helplessly, "You’ve only been gone for two days.""Two days and you didn’t miss me?" Frank’s eyelids drooped. "27 hours of flight, 1620 minutes, 97200 seconds...""I’ve missed you." Charlotte interrupted him. "I’ve missed you."A wicked smile instantly spread across Frank’s eyes. He leaned closer to her and asked, "Which part of me did you miss?"Zachary went straight to the bathroom as soon as he entered the house. After cleaning himself up, he came
"Yes.""Quickly, tell me."Leanne's curiosity was stirred, and Buck said."Mr. Collins made this foster sister marry the second son of the Hilton family."Leanne was shocked."The second son of the Hilton family, from the Yelar?""Which other Hilton family could make the Collins family silent?"Leanne gave a thumbs-up. "Impressive.""Zachary's mind and tactics are indeed remarkable."Buck continued, "Coincidentally, Mr. Collins’ sister is Mandy’s direct superior."Leanne nodded, "No wonder Carter insisted on Zachary backing down. But I still have a question.""What is it?" asked Buck."Why would the second son of the Hilton family marry Zachary’s sister? They don’t need to form an alliance with the Collins family to gain any benefits, do they?" said Leanne.Buck was stunned.The marriage between the Hilton family and the Collins family was facilitated by Lucifer.But Lucifer's name was a taboo for the Leanne."You can’t even tell me?" Leanne was extremely curious. She w
"I don’t have any ideas."Nathan took Jordan onto the plane and gave her a cup of milk.They flew straight back to Impelia, where they went to the hospital for a full body check-up.Although there were no external injuries, he was still not at ease.Jordan had kept refusing, but she couldn't argue with Nathan and went for the check-up.While waiting for her examination, Nathan received a call from Calvin."What happened?""Do you know the consequences of leaving the team without permission?"Nathan of course knew, but he was too worried and was caught up in a mission, so he took the risk."Don’t worry, Grandpa, I know what I’m doing."Calvin's tone was stern. "Nathan, everything you have today was earned with blood. If you aren’t careful and lose it, how will you protect those two cousins?"Nathan responded, "I’ll reflect on my actions. I won’t let the Jackson family face any issues, and I won’t lose everything I have."Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stop Westley from en
"How could you think of me like this?" Jane glared at him. "You sound as if I’ve been terrible to you. I think you’re amazing, capable of handling anything, which is why I rely on you and trust you so much."Zachary’s frown relaxed. "I’ve put a lot of effort in this time, how are you going to reward me?"Charlotte couldn’t take it anymore and hung up the video call."Stop treating me like I’m invisible, both of you."Jane didn’t call back. She knew that help from afar couldn’t solve the immediate problem.She leaned on Charlotte’s shoulder and sighed.Charlotte patted her head. "Don’t keep sighing. We’ve already found a solution to the problem.""I feel so sorry for Jordan.""No one’s life is without difficulties."Jane knew that, but she still didn’t want Jordan to go through such hardship.Charlotte opened her phone to show her something.Jane was surprised. "A pink dolphin?"Charlotte nodded. "Yes, Jordan took it.""Why didn’t she send it to me?""This was sent to me b
"Jane..."Jane looked at her, heart aching. "Don’t worry. I’ll have Zachary take you back. I’ve bought your favorite food.""But Westley...""It has nothing to do with you."How could it not? Jordan wiped her tears. "If he really dies, without any proof, I won’t be able to explain it."This was indeed a problem.If Westley really died, no one would be able to torment Jordan anymore.But Westley’s death couldn’t be tied to Jordan."Don’t worry. Zachary will look into this clearly. It won’t be tied to you. Come back first."Jordan nodded. "Okay.""Jordy!"Leanne saw Jordan nodding and quickly said, "my cousin did hurt you, but it wasn’t a crime that he deserves to die for. Before you two got married, everything he did for you wasn’t fake. My parents and I are sincere with you too. Even if you hate my cousin, you can’t just stand by and watch him die, right? Please, I beg you. Just say something, save him, and I promise I’ll do everything I can to make sure he never bothers you
Carter moved at a steady pace. "Of course, you could also find someone else to perform the surgery on Westley. After all, you all have power and influence, finding a skilled doctor shouldn’t be difficult. You can even find someone from another country. I’m not the only one who can do this surgery."Leanne grew anxious. "Carter, what do you mean? People's lives are at stake. Can’t you save my cousin first? As long as my cousin is fine, I’ll agree to whatever conditions you put forward."Zachary bypassed Carter and walked away.Frank spoke for Zachary. "Since the head of the Howard family has promised you, there’s no need for me to stay with Mr. Collins."Carter followed, walking out without saying a word, but it felt like he had said something.Leanne chased after them and blocked their way."What do you mean? Are you just going to watch my cousin die?"Zachary understood that Carter’s reluctance was related to the matter of Mandy’s reassignment.But that was something he couldn
