Zachary raised his head to look at her, his gaze sincere."If that day comes, I will.""But I don't want that."Jane flipped over and sat up, crossing her legs. Her posture suggested she was about to have a serious talk with him."Have you ever thought about it? If you were to risk your life for me, it would seem like you love me so much. But without you, how am I supposed to live the rest of my life?""You can't lose me, but does that mean I can lose you?"Zachary also sat up, crossing his legs just like her."You're right. But if I can't save you, wouldn't I be bearing the same pain?"This kind of hypothetical situation had no solution.What would happen in life was inherently unknown."Forget it. Let's just keep a calm mindset."Jane lay back in a starfish position, "The enemy is already in plain sight. While being on guard, we still need to live our own lives. Don’t worry about things that may never even happen."Zachary propped his head up, looking down at her."You j

Because her waist also ached.She hadn't paid attention when she opened the door for the waiter and returned Dominic's call.Now, every time she walked, it was painful.The two women looked at each other, both feeling sore and stiff, and they smiled.Jane said, "I guess we’re on the same boat now."Charlotte nodded and sat down at the dining table."Next time, let’s cut down on the pranks. In the end, it’s always us who suffer."Jane quickly washed up and sat down as well.She nodded in agreement.She glanced at the dining table and saw that there were dishes not only she liked, but also some of Charlotte’s favorites.No wonder Charlotte had come to her room."When you woke up, was Frank there?"Charlotte shook her head. "Before you called, he sent a message telling me to come here after I wake up..""I didn’t see Zachary when I woke up either.""Luthor’s here. They must have been discussing countermeasures."Jane didn’t understand anything that they were doing. The only

Zachary took a sip of tea, a faint smile on his lips, but it held a deeper meaning."Trying to pry information from me?"Westley was about to speak when his secretary came over and whispered a few words in his ear.His expression darkened slightly as he waved his hand.The secretary left, and Westley looked at the two men across from him, speaking slowly, "Luthor has gone to Dominic’s report meeting. Both of your wives are there."As soon as the words fell, the two men across from him immediately disappeared from sight.Westley wasn’t in a hurry. He leisurely sipped his tea for a while before standing up to head to the scene.Luthor’s arrival was unexpected to both Jane and Charlotte.Given his position, he didn’t need to attend such a meeting in person.Moreover, the Howard family was in charge here, so his presence wouldn’t change much.Dominic didn’t recognize Luthor, but one of Westley’s subordinates had whispered something to him.He was also informed that this person w

The conference room suddenly felt much emptier.Dominic looked a little nervous. "Jane, should I continue?"Jane nodded. "Go ahead."Half an hour later, Dominic finished the rest of his presentation.Jane said, "Great job, Dominic. You did well. Just implement your plan as it is."As she finished speaking, her fingertip was pinched sharply.Jane turned and winked at him. "What’s the matter? Are you dissatisfied with your brother-in-law?"Zachary smiled. "Very.""Perfect timing, since everyone’s here. Let me treat him to a meal to thank him for taking care of you."Jane had originally planned to treat them all, so this worked out perfectly.The group headed to the best restaurant in Nelana.It wasn’t the one where Jane had run into Zachary and Annie last time, but a private kitchen."This place isn’t easy to book. Money isn’t enough. You have to know the owner."Dominic said to Jane, "Your fiance is really something."In the end, they still had to thank Westley.Zachary d

"Have I stopped talking to you?"Jane’s words made Zachary want to laugh.Jane wrapped her arms around his neck. "Of course, it’s different with me than with anyone else. You usually don’t talk much outside."Zachary deliberately scoffed. "You get along so naturally and happily with Dominic. It seems he understands you quite well."Jane knew he was pretending to accept Dominic as her “brother-in-law,” but after all, Dominic wasn’t related to her by blood.So, of course, he was feeling a little jealous."After all, we’ve known each other for many years. Isn’t that how friends are?""He knows what you’d like. Even though he’s never been to the restaurant, he can still recommend the dishes that suit your taste. You seemed really happy tonight."Jane pinched his ear. "He’s local. Isn’t that the reason why he’s here tonight?""I know local specialties too. Why didn’t you ask me?"Hearing his slightly envious tone, Jane was both amused and helpless. "Alright, Mr. Collins. He’s a fr

Charlotte thought the term was good. “What’s wrong with that? Clothes aren’t just for celebrities, right?”Jane hugged her. “You set your standards too high, but I understand. Still, with the designs you’ve produced, they’re already perfect. And we can do nationwide customization, but we have to release the celebrity collection first. After seeing the results, we can make adjustments and mass-produce, right? You also said that some of the colors you’ve created aren’t suitable for everyone. We have to make mistakes first, don’t we?”Charlotte had indeed hit a bottleneck.That was why she was thinking of combining intangible cultural heritage with national trends to innovate a new series.Otherwise, with so many clothing brands on the market, without innovation, they would be eliminated sooner or later.But innovation was also a troubling thing.You couldn’t overdo it and kill the market.“I think dopamine is fine. Many dopamine style clothes make people happy right now.”Jane po

Charlotte was confused. “Although Westley assigned Dominic to this project, does Dominic really have that much authority?”Dominic spoke up. “No, Mrs. Smith. The Intangible Cultural Heritage National Trend Festival is supported by the Howard family, but we’re the organizer. Also, bringing you here has nothing to do with the Howard family. This is my own network. I’ve been in this industry for so many years, and it wasn’t for nothing. Don’t worry. We’ll definitely make it to the last day of the event.”Jane also said, “Don’t worry, Charlotte. Dominic is really good at handling things.”She gave a thumbs-up.Charlotte wasn’t very familiar with Dominic, but they were getting to know each other better now.“By the way, don’t forget about the photoshoot,” Dominic said to Jane.This was something Jane was still a bit worried about.“Do you know any other photographers?”Dominic looked puzzled. “What’s wrong? Did Jordan’s schedule clash?”“No...”It wasn’t that.If she showed up th

Jane really liked the little restaurant, and Charlotte wasn’t that particular either.But they both needed to report to their families first.Dominic teased Jane. “Didn’t expect you to be in such a situation before.”After sending the message, Jane said, “You’ll be in the same position sooner or later. But if your gold-digger ex comes back after seeing you’ve made a fortune, promise me, don’t get back together with her.”Dominic rolled his eyes. “Am I really that cheap?”“Aren’t you?”Charlotte smiled and pursed her lips.The two of them were really a funny pair.On the other side, Zachary hid on the small balcony, the tip of his cigarette glowing in the dark.Frank brought two glasses of alcohol, placing one in front of him.“I went to Sharaston. Luthor’s marriage to the eldest daughter of the Joseph family is confirmed.”Zachary flicked the ash from his cigarette. “The eldest daughter is willing to marry him?”Frank flashed a meaningful smile. “They said it’ll be the elde

He placed some meat on her plate and asked, "Don't you like being close to me? Or do you still think our relationship isn't suitable for closeness right now?"Jordan couldn't really explain.Westley answered for her, "Do you think the development between us is different from others? So it's awkward?"Jordan thought for a moment, and it seemed like that was the case.Westley continued, "So you still want to go through a process before we get to the point where we can kiss in a romantic relationship?"Jordan fell silent.Westley said, "If you have something to say, just say it. There's nothing we should be embarrassed about between us."Jordan bit her cutlery, and after a few seconds, she said, "Before we remarry, we can maintain a working relationship. We can eat together, do some things together, but we can't have any intimate behavior. Can you accept that?"Westley obviously couldn't accept it.He didn't really understand why she wanted it that way.But he still went along w

"Otherwise, would you listen to something you don't want to hear?"Jordan didn't want to argue with him. "I'll say this one last time... Mm!"Her lips were sealed, and when Jordan tried to push him away, she kept punching his shoulder.She tilted her head to dodge, but he firmly held her by the back of her head.She opened her mouth to bite him, but he grabbed her face, deepening the kiss.In the quiet office, with only the two of them, the sound of water droplets, which made hearts race and faces flush, could be heard.Jordan, unable to take it anymore, kicked him.But his long legs held her down.She was completely at his mercy, unable to move at all."Um..."It wasn't until the sound of a knock on the door broke the intimate atmosphere."I'm here for the interview... Is this a bad time?"As soon as Westley released her, Jordan immediately pushed him away, wiping her lips forcefully.She stomped on him hard and tried to calm her emotions as she looked toward the door."

Jordan went to sit on the sofa and casually raised her hand toward him."Go on."Westley looked at her, noticing how she resembled a boss, a look that had some of his own influence in it.He smiled.Jordan shot him a glare. "Be serious.""Alright."Westley sat up straight, looking serious.He began to explain his previous plans to her.Except for parts of the plan that needed to be kept confidential, he didn't hide anything else."The reason I had you stab me was indeed to let you vent your anger, to make up for the harm I've caused you. It was just a coincidence that the higher-ups issued an order at the same time, so I decided to go along with it. Now, the plan has been completed. I can indeed come back to life, but right now, there's nothing I need to do. The Howard family has Leanne, and I've already resigned. I'm just a jobless wanderer now, and no one cares. Whether I'm alive or not doesn't really matter."Jordan felt that those last two sentences were clearly meant to

But when she reached the bedroom door, ready to go out and check, she thought again, how could he, such a grown man, possibly be putting himself through hardship?With so many people under him, he could just call anyone to bring him clothes.And he could book a comfortable presidential suite for himself.There was no need for her to be concerned about it.Besides, it was her who had locked him out in the first place.Going out now would only make it seem like she cared about him too much.Right.She shouldn't go out.Jordan returned to her bed.But no matter what, she couldn't fall asleep.In the living room, Westley was already lying on the sofa.The heating was turned up high, so he wasn't worried about the cold.He was holding his phone, making some kind of plan.In the end, Jordan didn't even know how she fell asleep.When she woke up groggily, the first thing she did was get up and check on Westley.But she found that he wasn't there anymore.She let out a sigh of

She now saw herself only as a sister figure to him. Even though they were a bit close, there was still a sense of distance and wariness.It was impossible for her to fully open up to him.But at that moment, suddenly talking about their relationship wasn't really appropriate.Besides, with how things had developed between her and Westley, if he intervened, it would just force them apart.In the end, it would be her who got hurt.‘Forget it.’Nathan decided to just watch how things would unfold.If Westley still didn't realize his mistakes and hurt Jordan again, then no matter what, he couldn't let them be together."Has Jasmine not come back?""Huh?" The topic changed too quickly, and Jordan was a little slow to react. "No.""Nathan, did you take anything from this room?"Nathan's gaze darkened slightly. "No."Noticing that he was in a bad mood, Jordan didn't ask about his situation with Jasmine."Jasmine probably has something she wants to do."Nathan could tell from her

"I've already picked out a few candidates, but I just haven't had the chance to arrange meetings for you yet. Maybe you've only ever been exposed to him since childhood. Try dating someone else, and you might realize he isn't the only one for you." Jordan shook her head. "Nathan, that's not it..." "I'm certain I like him—no matter how outstanding others are, I won't be interested." Nathan frowned. "You've never tried being with anyone else. How can you be so sure?" Of course, Jordan was sure. Ever since her youthful heart first fluttered, she had been certain, apart from Westley, she would never love anyone else. And that was precisely why his indifference had wounded her so deeply. She had filed for divorce and despised his later attempts at remorse. Because she had never wavered in her feelings—yet he only began to love her after she decided to let go. If he had realized it even a little sooner, they wouldn't have suffered through such a painful, drawn-out

"I’m not doing anything," Westley answered her question, squeezing her hand slightly. "Just need your help with something."Jordan was already in her 20s.How could she not understand the things between men and women?His voice was dangerously hoarse now, and what kind of help could he possibly need from her?"You do it yourself, I can't help.""Well, I’ll do all the hard work."He was the one doing all the hard work indeed.But he was holding her hand, making her hand... move with his!Jordan tried to pull her hand back. "Westley, you’re making me mad."Westley leaned on her shoulder and laughed lowly. "Alright, after you help me, feel free to get angry. Hit me however you want. But right now, Jordy, I can't stop."The temperature in the kitchen gradually rose.With the heating, it made the air dry and uncomfortable.She had just taken a shower to cool down, but now, a thin layer of sweat had formed.She felt hot.Jordan had nowhere to hide and couldn't break free.In t

The arm around her waist suddenly tightened.The breath sprayed near her ear, hot and unsettling.The man's hoarse voice came. "Don't want to sleep? Then how about we do something else?"Jordan gripped the blanket tightly, weakly lying, "I want to go to the bathroom. I haven't washed up yet either."Westley released her.Jordan quickly escaped. She didn't know what she might do if she stayed another second.Westley lowered his head, glancing at her, then sighed deeply.This was a pyrrhic victory.Jordan stayed in the bathroom for a long time.She even took a shower.But after finishing, she suddenly remembered that her bath towel had been taken by Westley.Standing in the bathroom, she felt like she had no way out.And in her haste to come in, she hadn't grabbed a change of clothes.She had impulsively picked up the clothes that Westley had swapped out of and her clothes and tossed them into the laundry basket.Her clothes were now all wet.She could only silently fume.

‘I’ve already taken my pants off and you’re just going to leave it at that?’She thought this must have been intentional on Westley's part.She raised her leg and kicked him, then turned around, pulling the blanket away, her back clearly showing a trace of resentment.Westley didn't mind, pulling both her and the blanket into his arms.He chuckled softly in her ear."Your reaction right now makes me think you're dissatisfied."The deliberate pause was even more teasing.Jordan immediately elbowed him.But because she was tangled in the blanket, she couldn't put much strength into it.The muffled laugh of the man in her ear clearly mocked her, making her even angrier.Her emotions flared up too quickly, and tears started falling.Westley felt the wetness on his arm, it was hot.He quickly sat up.He knew about her tendency to lose control of her tears, but seeing her cry still made his heart ache.He gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eye with his thumb and whis
