“However, fate brought us back together, so this time, I will stay with Zachary firmly. No one and nothing can separate us.” She paused and then changed her tone. “That’s all I wanted to say.”Just as she was about to sit down, Madam Collins spoke, and Jane immediately straightened up.But Zachary pulled her back down.She felt a bit nervous, but Madam Collins said, “Let’s all be seated. We’re not your superiors or elders, you don’t need to stand as if you’re reporting to us or showing absolute respect.”It seemed she still wasn’t accepting it.Jane didn’t argue.Madam Collins asked, “Do you really love Zachary?”Jane answered without hesitation, “Yes.”A faint smile flashed in Zachary’s eyes, and he served her a hot drink.“If you don’t want to eat, have something to drink. It’ll warm your stomach.”But since Madam Collins was speaking to her, Jane couldn’t drink it at that moment.“We’re having a family dinner today,” Zachary reassured her. “It’s not a struggle session or
“But it’s impossible for us to accept your marriage. Even if she can sever the father-daughter relationship, word will always get out. If Jasper is brought up later, Zachary, your future will be very difficult.”Zachary remained calm, but there was a faint air of arrogance in his voice. “I have more than one path in front of me.”Jane agreed with this.Zachary was different from ordinary people like her.She could only change a little bit of her fate through hard work and study.But for Zachary, anything was possible.However, no matter which path he took, having her by his side definitely brought more risks.Rebecca couldn’t help but interrupt. “We’ve already compromised by letting you two date, but Zachary, the future wife of the head of the Collins family cannot be someone with a stain on her record.”Zachary’s eyes turned cold, and a faint layer of frost covered them.Jane sensed the anger beginning to leak from him.She hurriedly grabbed his hand, her pinky finger brushi
“I’ve looked this matter, and I know he doesn’t have one.”“Then why?”Zachary lowered his phone, and a dark gleam flashed in his eyes.“Before you and I got together, no one cared. But after we were together, I’m afraid there were quite a few people who came into contact with Jasper.”Jane’s expression dimmed slightly.The man gently grasped her chin and lifted her face to meet his gaze.“You don’t need to feel ashamed. He doesn’t deserve to be your father. And now, you’ve earned everything through your own efforts. You can live with your head held high.”Jane removed his hand from her chin and intertwined her fingers with his.“But I still…”“Don’t say you’re causing me trouble. I don’t want to hear it.”Jane had no choice but to fall silent.Zachary continued, “How much my family is involved, I haven’t figured out yet. According to Frank’s investigation feedback, it’s possible that before he sent someone to watch Jasper, Jasper had already been taken away. The one that’s
Jordan instantly lost control. "Westley, my hair!"She pushed Westley away forcefully, took out a small mirror from her backpack, and saw that the hair on the side had been scorched and curled. Fuming, she kicked the man in front of her.The man, who had his hands behind his back, made a gesture, then, with a concerned expression, asked, "Did you get hurt?""Are you blind?"Jordan poked a strand of hair towards his eyes. "Can't you see? My hair is burnt!"Westley nodded seriously. "I see."Jordan was so angry that her cheeks puffed up. "It’s all your fault!""How do you want me to compensate?" he asked."Divorce."Westley didn’t argue, instead, he asked, "Didn’t I tell you not to wander around here?"Jordan paused for a second. "You never said that!"She wasn’t easily tricked anymore. "Even if you did, this isn’t the first time I’ve been here. Don’t your people recognize me?"She had grown up and couldn’t be easily deceived now.Westley calmly adjusted his cuffs."A few n
“Huh?”The teammate followed him. "Why? Didn’t you do what Mr. Howard instructed? Why do you still need to receive a punishment?"The captain crossed his hands behind his head, speaking casually. "Oh, because I hurt Mrs. Howard's hair."The team member was rendered speechless.‘Is that even reasonable?’After not eating well at the Collins family’s place, they returned to Jane’s house. Zachary went straight to the kitchen and started making food for her.Jane followed him and tied his apron."Just make some sandwiches."Zachary hummed in response. "Wait outside."Jane went out to check her emails and sort out her recent work.But she found there was no internet.The internet was connected via her phone, and as long as her phone wasn’t turned off, the internet couldn’t be disconnected. She called the telecom provider to inquire.The result was that the line had been actively cut off.She found the gateway and saw that the network cable had been unplugged.She plugged the c
Jane remembered.She might forget many things, but she would never forget this.She took the cup and had a sip.Her voice, hoarse from crying, said, "It hasn’t changed."Charlotte gently patted her head and said in a soft voice, "When I saw Jasper that day, I thought, I can’t let your scars be reopened, I can’t let you face that bloody, dark past again. I also had Frank and Zachary hide everything from you, to protect you. But now, I think, exposing it might not be a bad thing. Sometimes, facing it head-on is the only way to truly move on."Zachary rushed back to the Collins family in Jeswood, and at first, he had the same thought.After threatening the Collins family, stopping the Winston family from posting the video wasn’t hard.But this situation wasn’t a solution in the long run.Life was long, and you never knew when something might resurface.Facing it head-on might not be a bad thing.He lit a cigarette on the balcony, and his phone rang."Man, I’ve been working so h
Charlotte was the person who understood Jane the most in the world.But Zachary still couldn’t fully relax. However, he didn’t press the issue and simply said, "Hmm, seems like your best friend means more to you. Her words are more comforting than mine."Jane patted his face. "Well, you at least have to say something first.""Didn't I say anything?" Zachary held her hand and kissed it. "I’ve said all my life’s words to you."While waiting for Frank at the airport, Charlotte was suddenly embraced by someone."Charlotte."Charlotte smiled and was about to speak when she noticed the approaching Westley.‘Now he’s worried. What’s he been doing these past couple of years?’ wondered Charlotte."Charlotte, did Jane send you to pick me up?""My wife definitely came to pick me up."Charlotte cocked her brows and saw the broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted man walking toward her.His usual casual smile spread across his lips as he reached out and pulled her into his arms."What are you
Jane immediately called Jordan back."Have you arrived in Jeswood?"Jordan's voice had a hint of resentment. "I’ve been here for hours, waiting for you at the hotel. I’m starving.""And there's this old man constantly staring at me—so annoying."‘Westley is here too?’Jane felt a little guilty. "It's my fault. I'll come pick you up for dinner now. Send me the name of the hotel."After hanging up, Jane received Jordan's message. She stood up and called to Zachary. "Let's go, Mr. Collins."As the car drove to the hotel, she asked him, "Is Westley here for work or something else?"Zachary grunted dismissively. "Neither."‘So he came here just to follow Jordan.’Jane nodded and then poked Zachary’s side cheek with her delicate finger."Mr. Collins, make sure to cherish this last meal with me."Zachary held her hand and responded obediently, "Alright."When they arrived at the hotel, Jordan was already waiting outside.Zachary got out of the car and made space for her."Thank
"When Jane was so upset, how could you bring up breaking up?"Zachary's lips twitched slightly, and he gritted his teeth, forcing himself to continue the act."I can't have any stains on my record right now. Jane, if you love me, let me go.""I..."Jane was interrupted again by Jordan."You!" She stomped her foot in anger, no longer caring about anything else, and pointed at Zachary’s nose, saying furiously, "I never imagined you were this kind of person! When you saved me, I thought you were a man of good character. But for the sake of your future, you gave up the person you loved! You're just like Westley, both of you are despicable!"The innocent Westley, who was being unjustly blamed, could only stare in disbelief. The veins on Zachary's forehead were twitching, and he almost couldn't keep up the act."This is between me and Jane."Jane pretended to wipe away nonexistent tears and whispered to Charlotte, "Ahem, I feel so guilty."Charlotte hugged Jane, seemingly offering
People who had been in high positions for a long time were impressive, and even when they were jealous, they kept it low-key and restrained."Why are you standing there? Are you planning to serve us dinner?"Frank teased, and Zachary pulled out the chair next to him, tapping his fingers twice."Sit down."Westley realized that he was now isolated.But he still pulled out a chair and sat behind Jordan.Frank stood up, moved Charlotte and her chair aside by two seats, and then sat next to her.Westley found an opportunity and successfully sat beside Jordan.He tilted his head and exchanged an unspoken glance with Frank.Frank smiled lazily. "You owe me a favor."Westley felt that it was a debt that could never be repaid.The Winston family.Luthor followed Zachary back to Jeswood.He first secretly sent a message to the Collins family, waiting for their response.But the Collins family did not give any reply for a long time.Zachary and Jane were still deeply in love, nest
