Chapter 897

Author: Lean
"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 two men were both tall, but in the dense crowd, they couldn’t find the person they were looking for."What's the point of showing off a stupid mask? Now look what happened."Zachary's lips pressed into a straight line, and his gaze turned cold.He didn’t respond to Frank’s jibe. He had been confident before, thinking Luthor’s arrival was no big deal. But now, with no sign of her, he felt an overwhelming sense of panic.He couldn’t make a scene either.He hadn’t felt so suffocated in over thirty years.He was nervous, anxious, and utterly at a loss."You can't search like this. Clear the area first, get Westley to do it."Frank’s words calmed Zachary’s nerves a little. He immediately called Westley.Just as the call was answered, he felt a tap on his back.He turned around, and there, in front of him, was the face he had been searching for.He immediately pulled her into his arms.Jane was stunned. "What’s wrong with you?"Charlotte was also tightly held by Frank, and s

    He drank some water and forced it down.Jane was extremely worried. "Go to the hospital.""It's fine..."Zachary’s voice was a bit hoarse, his throat moved, and he took a deep breath to calm himself before continuing, "I’m fine, it’s just a candy, it’ll dissolve when it’s mixed with water."Jane cupped his face, checking his throat, and then realized the lights were off.She was about to turn on the lights when he held her."I’m really fine, don’t panic, let me hold you for a while."Jane stroked his head and asked, "What’s going on?"It was a matter regarding Jordan, he actually didn’t dare to tell her, fearing she would get upset.He also hadn’t expected her to wake up halfway through the night.Could it be that sisters have a sixth sense?"It’s nothing, I just feel a bit tired lately. You’re about to give birth, and I’m anxious."Jane sensed something was off. "Did you forget? We agreed not to hide anything from each other."Before Zachary could speak, his phone vibrate

    Jordan felt completely limp when she was released to catch her breath.Her cheeks were flushed pink, especially when she felt his fingers, still gripping her waist, wet with moisture.Thinking back to what he had just done, her body flushed with heat, and her exposed skin turned red.She slapped him again, but her hand had no strength left."Trying to scratch me?"His voice, usually rich and deep, now carried an undertone of desire.It made her feel dangerous.Luckily, the slap just now wasn’t hard.Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to resist his hold, and she didn't know what he would have done to her.Unable to fight back, unable to escape.Her emotions surged, and once again, she lost control, tears flowing uncontrollably.Westley took a tissue, gently wiping her tears away.What he said, however, made her want to strangle him."I’d rather see you cry in that situation."Jordan had almost suffocated under his onslaught of kisses earlier.Now, her breathing slowly

    She stared at Westley’s eyes, which seemed to spit fire.She hated him so much that she wished she could tear him apart.But Westley just smiled. "You thought that by finding your brother, you'd have a protector?""You didn't even think about it—he’s just the head of a magazine, how could he have so much power to protect you?"Global Magazine wasn’t a privately owned company.How could the head of it have no power?And Nathan’s aura wasn’t that of an ordinary businessman.The car he drove wasn’t something a simple businessman could afford.Jordan wasn’t stupid.She wasn’t going to rely on just anyone to protect her.“Westley, what exactly do you want?”Westley didn’t expect her to react this way.Since Nathan wanted to play this game, not directly acknowledging Jordan as his relative, Westley didn’t plan to expose it either.He didn’t want Jordan to feel protected by the Jackson family and think she could escape him.She could never escape him in this lifetime.“Isn’t wh

    At that time, there was no need for a marriage alliance to strengthen their position, as long as they liked each other and the person had good character and could take care of his daughter, that was enough.Therefore, there was a strict requirement that the children must carry the Jackson surname.However, the eldest daughter eventually married someone talented. She had a son, which led to a disagreement over the surname.Due to the pressure from the Jackson family’s power, they compromised and allowed the child to take the Jackson surname.So, when something happened within the Jackson family, they abandoned the eldest daughter. They had already had other children outside and had multiple offspring by then.Their reasoning was absurd. They had money and wanted more children, but since the eldest daughter refused to bear more children and wouldn’t let them carry their surname, they sought others instead.At that time, they also wanted Nathan, but Nathan voluntarily stayed with Ca

    Because they looked so alike, she had initially assumed they were siblings.Even just now, when Jean had targeted Jordan, treating her as a rival, she had mocked Jean without giving it much thought.However, she had forgotten.There was no evidence proving they were siblings.Nathan had been overly considerate of Jordan.After dinner, Nathan drove them back to the hotel.They had been out all day and were feeling a bit tired.Jordan declined Nathan’s invitation to go somewhere else.She noticed Jasmine looked rather down.She thought it was because of Nathan, so she decided to bring her back to the hotel to comfort her."Thank you, Nathan. Drive safely on the roads."Nathan nodded. "If anything comes up, don’t hesitate to call me. I can always answer your calls, don’t worry about troubling me. Since you see me as your brother, that makes us family."Jordan agreed and waved at him.As she was about to grab Jasmine’s arm, she noticed she hadn’t said a word and had already wa

    Jane said, "Sure enough, when you love someone, even if you lose your memory, you’ll still be moved when you see them again."Charlotte glanced at the picture of Nathan and said, "But your brother doesn’t seem to care. If he wanted to find her, it would be easier for him than for us."Jane leaned back on the cushion, drinking water as if it were alcohol, giving it a little swirl for enjoyment."My cousin has always been emotionally detached. It’s not easy to make him care. But once he does, he will love deeply, and he will be devoted to that one person for life."Charlotte also leaned back, propping her face up with her hand and asking, "Your brother’s background... isn’t there pressure to form a marriage alliance?"Jane replied, "He should, but if he ends up liking Jasmine, I can help. After all, we do have some influence now."Charlotte smiled. "But who doesn’t want to reach for the stars?""Your cousin’s marriage alliance, plus you, would make the Jackson family's position ev

    The waiter introduced each dish as they were served.Jasmine looked at the plate of cabbage, hesitating to speak.Once the waiter left, she leaned toward Jordan and whispered,"This dish, Pure and White, really is pure and white. I thought it would be something else."Jordan chuckled and asked, "If you want something else, then try the other dishes. This dish is also quite impressive to me.”Jordan picked up a piece for her. "Try it.""A great chef can turn ordinary ingredients into something extraordinary."Jasmine was already starving, so she figured she might as well eat since they had already ordered the food.But after just one bite, her eyes widened in surprise.The Step by Step Higher wasn’t just about the plating—it was about the layers of flavor.One piece of tofu had three distinct textures and taste experiences.Yet, when combined, they harmonized perfectly.She quickly tried the cabbage dish as well.Sure enough, it was far from ordinary."This is amazing," ex

    Miranda and Jonathan could clearly sense the shift in Westley’s mood.His gaze grew even colder and darker.But before they could say anything, Westley stood up.His voice also carried a chill."I will handle things between me and her. It’s best if you don’t interfere."After saying that, he strode away, leaving Miranda and Jonathan staring at each other in silence.Impelia.The car couldn’t enter the alleyway.It stopped at a car park by the roadside.Nathan got out first, opened the door, and shielded Jordan as she stepped down. His voice was slow and steady."You’ll have to walk a little.""But once you taste the chef’s cooking, you’ll find it’s worth it."Jordan wasn’t that delicate—walking a bit was no big deal.But she hadn’t expected the alley to be so long.They walked all the way to the very end before reaching the place.The weather was getting hotter, and she had to take off her light jacket, her forehead covered in sweat.She felt exhausted, almost drained.

    Jordan felt a little embarrassed.After all, she called Nathan her brother, but becoming family was just her wishful thinking.Strictly speaking, they had no blood relation.She didn’t want to stand between anything."Nathan, when you go on a blind date, make sure to clarify what kind of sister I am to you. Don’t let them misunderstand."Nathan simply replied, "It’s not a blind date, just meeting my grandfather’s friend’s daughter."His words only confirmed what she had just suspected.Nathan had arranged the meeting not because he was interested, but because he didn’t want to reject Jasmine outright.Jordan didn’t expose him. She just nodded and opened her phone to check Jane’s messages.Jane. "You were right."Jane. "Since that’s the case, just comfort Jasmine and tell her to look at other handsome guys."Jane. "Have fun. Don’t let a romance that never even started get in the way of enjoying life."Jordan replied with a simple "Okay" and then showed the message to Jasmine
