Chapter 926

Author: Lean
"But what?"

Westley didn't say anything.

Zachary didn’t ask either, just silently smoked his cigarette.

In the end, Westley couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Why aren’t you asking me?"

"Don’t really care."

Westley clenched his fist, took a few deep breaths, and suppressed the words that almost slipped out.

If it weren’t for owing someone a favor, and their close relationship with mutual interests, he really couldn’t be bothered to deal with Zachary.

"I’ve been thinking a lot lately, about why I ended up becoming friends with you."

"I had the same question myself."

Frank walked over and handed Westley a glass of wine.

Westley’s gaze darkened a little. "This wouldn’t happen to be from my wine cellar, would it?"

Frank smirked and replied, "A limited edition."

Westley must have committed some sin in his past life to be acquainted with these two in this one.

"You know that kind of limited edition is priceless, right?"

"I know, so while I’m still alive, I might as well try a sip."

    "Later, when I found out you were chasing after Zachary, I thought you were very carefree, not bound by the constraints of society. But after you started dating him, I saw you hesitate. You were thinking too much, and you just didn’t have the courage to give up. I said you were serious back then. Now, it seems, your heart is completely occupied by Zachary."Jane listened to Charlotte’s words and finished a bag of crisps.She gasped and said, "That can’t be. In my heart, there’s still a place for you.""Yes, and that’s all."Jane held her hand. "My dear best friend, please don’t say that."The two conversations of the guys and girls ended at the same time.Zachary and Frank went back to their rooms to find their wives.Westley, being a lonely bachelor, returned to his room and took out his phone to send a message.The red exclamation mark was both glaring and piercing. It was also cold and sharp.He angrily threw the phone aside and lay down on the bed, muttering through gritte

    Westley asked, “How did you help?”Charlotte and Jane were that close, and Frank listened to his wife. Even if Zachary asked him, it probably wouldn’t have worked."I didn't help."Westley knew it.He shouldn't have bothered asking Zachary."Are you leaving just like that?"Zachary followed Westley. "His actions don’t represent mine."Westley felt like he had fallen into a trap. "I don’t need your help.""Well, I never said I’d help."Westley was certain now!In this lifetime, Westley had a smooth ride, rising to his current position.Everyone he met would try to flatter or please him.So, Zachary’s honest words were really hard to accept.This was probably why no one dared to say anything honest to their emperor during ancient times."I can get my wife back myself."Zachary and Frank simultaneously responded, "We’ll be waiting for the good news."Jane didn’t get up until noon.It wasn’t something she wanted to do. It was Leanne who came to drag her out of bed."Tsk t

    “I don’t know.”Jane started grinding her teeth. “Are you going to tell me or not?”Zachary let her pinch his face, his deep voice slightly muffled."Why don’t you ask Leanne yourself?"“We just met, it would be a little inappropriate. Plus, I feel like it’s a sad story, I can’t bring myself to ask.”"Her story is well known in the circle. How come it's all hidden when it comes to you?"Jane’s curiosity was piqued. “Is it really?”Zachary looked at her without speaking, and the smile in his eyes grew more meaningful.Jane felt conflicted.She really couldn’t give him what he wanted these past few days.She was about to go model for a show soon and needed to save her energy.But if she didn’t agree to give him what he wanted, he really could keep quiet.At that point, it would be her suffocating in silence."Fine, I’ll let you have your way with me, but you’ll have to wait until after my show ends. Is that alright?"Zachary took out his phone and started recording a video.

    Jane thought for a moment and replied honestly, “So the man probably liked the secretary all along? This sounds like unrequited love for Leanne.”Zachary explained, “At that time, everyone said he liked the secretary, but he himself claimed that their relationship was just a deal. Leanne believed him, and later even took action against that secretary. But ironically, her actions made her feelings clearer to herself.”Jane exclaimed, “Don’t tell me, the man actually hurt Leanne because of the secretary?”Zachary nodded lightly. “Leanne got stubborn, couldn’t let go. It became a big mess for a while. Because of the Howard family’s influence, the man didn’t do anything to Leanne and just backed off.”Jane was stunned. “Wait, what more could he have done to her? Isn’t he the one who chose to play dumb?”Zachary looked at her, amused by her indignant expression, and laughed.She rolled her eyes at him.He caught her fist and casually played with it in his hand, saying, “Leanne got a

    Zachary had a deep meaning in his words. “You want to catch Jordan at the exhibition, right?”Westley coughed lightly. “Don’t blame me if I don’t help, and your wife ends up in trouble. Don’t come after me what that happens.”“That's not sincere.” Zachary was blunt. “No wonder even after I helped you marry a woman, it still didn’t work out. You ended up driving her away yourself.”“I didn’t.” Westley denied it. “Those years were difficult, it wasn’t intentional...”“What are you explaining to me for?” Zachary glanced at him indifferently. “I’m not your wife who dislikes you.”After saying that, Zachary left with large strides.Westley slammed his hand on the coffee table, frustrated, and asked Frank, “How did we end up becoming friends with this kind of person?”Frank finished his tea, put the cup down, and patted Westley on the shoulder.“You can choose not to be friends with him, but unfortunately, you still owe him a favor. Otherwise, right now, your wife would already be de

    Jane found it strange. “He actually has things he doesn’t tell you?”Charlotte didn’t think it was a big deal.At the moment, Zachary’s matters were certainly the top priority.Whether his path went smoothly or not was tied to Jane’s safety.And she trusted Frank. If he didn’t say something, there was a reason for it.When the time came to speak, he wouldn’t hide anything from her.“You’ll know eventually.”As they were talking, they reached the parking area.Raymond had been waiting for a long time.Jane wanted to drive herself, but she was refused. “We’re now under special times, please understand.”Jane sat in the back seat and whispered to Charlotte, “I’m still kind of trapped.”Charlotte comforted her. “It won’t be like this forever, trust me.”Jane smiled. “I thought you’d make me trust Zachary.”Charlotte held her hand. “If I made you trust him, you’d still be anxious deep down. But I know you’ll trust me unconditionally.”“Of course.”“Then that’s fine.”They pi

    He glanced backstage to confirm that Jane and the others were fine, then changed the music.“Let’s invite our first model on stage...”Jane, being a social butterfly and having worked as a part-time model before, confidently walked on stage.On the other hand, Charlotte was a bit nervous, but once she was on stage, she quickly became natural and graceful.Leanne was also a social butterfly, having grown up with various social etiquette and attending different parties to network.This kind of scene was nothing to her.Jordan was the busiest, as she had to take photos from every angle.As the crowd grew larger, it became more difficult for her to move around.“Isn’t there security?” she asked Dominic. “This isn’t okay, they’re crowding the stage, it could be dangerous.”There was security at the exhibition, but they weren’t stationed at a single booth.After all, the event they were hosting wasn’t as large as other major events.The crowd was big, but most were just here for t

    Charlotte immediately stood in front of Jane.She had never met the person in question, but she had seen photos of him.This was Jane's biological father.“Doing well, huh? With luxury cars and bodyguards. Jane, you’ve made it big but didn’t even bother to show some respect to your old man. Instead, you’ve been hiding from me. Luckily, I have the means to find you.”Jane grabbed Charlotte’s sleeve, hiding behind her, without saying a word.Even though she hadn’t been beaten in a long time and hadn’t seen this so-called father, the memories of being abused as a child were still triggered.She now had the ability to defend herself and knew she wouldn’t be beaten anymore, but she couldn’t control the instinctive fear.“It’s okay.” Charlotte comforted, holding her hand. “I’m here. He won’t get to you.”With Raymond and the others around, there was no way Jasper Greenwood could approach Jane.“Charlotte, let’s go...”“Okay, let’s go.”Charlotte opened the car door for Jane to get

    Caleb was thinking that in the future, he could let her drink a little more.Of course, only when he was around.She looked kind of cute like this."I did say that, but didn't you just say you wanted to thank me?"Whitney felt that alcohol really wasn't a good thing.Even when hanging out with Jane and the others, she decided not to drink too much anymore.The rationality and logic that she was so proud of had completely vanished.She had never been as calm in front of Caleb as she was with others.Besides, there was a power imbalance between her and him.If she were sober, she wouldn't have been able to reject him anyway.Let alone now, when her mind was muddled.But maybe because she was muddled, she dared to say things that she didn’t usually dare to say."I just lost my balance earlier, and you helped me. Even if you don't accept verbal gratitude, that doesn't mean I owe you something this big."Caleb saw she could barely stand, so he held her by the waist to keep her

    "But your reaction just now didn’t seem like you knew I was here."Jane tried to pull her leg back, but when she couldn't, she slapped him in frustration."It was called acting, understand? I didn't want you to look embarrassed, so I got those two out of the way first."Zachary rubbed her ankle with his thumb, as if he believed her. "Then should I be thanking you—for being so considerate?"Jane couldn't be bothered to argue. "Let go. I want to drink.""I'll drink with you."Meanwhile, Frank held Charlotte close and asked in a low voice, "Did she really know we were here?"Charlotte nodded. "What do you think? You really think Jane would mess around during her marriage? She might be bold, but she has boundaries. But you guys really are annoying."Frank hooked her chin with his thumb. "I knew it. You're being cold to me because you're sick of me. I've said it so many times, and you still wouldn't admit it."After saying that, he picked her up and walked out of the bar.He hadn'

    Charlotte nudged him with her elbow, warning him not to stir things up.Jordan truly didn't dare to stay any longer. "Westley, take me home.""Okay." Westley finally got up. "You all take your time. If it gets too late, don't go back to the old house—just find a place to crash.""But..." Jordan suddenly felt like leaving wasn't such a good idea. "Maybe I'll stay and play a bit more."Westley simply dragged her out."Jane and Zachary...""You can't control what they do, so why bother worrying over nothing?"Jordan was settled into the passenger seat, her seatbelt fastened firmly.She didn't resist, mostly because she felt what Westley said made sense.Jane was way more capable than she was. This kind of minor drama would be easy for her to handle.Plus, with the smart and composed Charlotte around—It was better if she didn't add to the chaos.Once Westley got into the driver's seat, she asked, "Why did you guys show up? Especially you—didn't you say no seeing each other a w

    But it was just a polite gesture—if they had been singing inside, they wouldn't have heard her anyway.So after knocking, she pushed the door open and went in.Charlotte and the others followed to take a look.When they saw the scene inside, they gasped.The four men from home were sitting around a cards table, all eyes on the door, each with a different expression.Zachary looked at Jane, who entered first, and said with a smile, "Honey, pick someone you like and give him a kiss."Jane took a step back and bumped into Charlotte's arms.That was when she noticed the big screen beside them—it was showing their own private room."You were watching us?"Zachary tapped the cards on the table with his long fingers, still smiling."If we weren't watching, how would we get to enjoy such an entertaining scene?"They had all been drinking.Whitney didn't hold her liquor well. She was already a little dazed. Although the room was fairly bright, everything seemed a little off to her.

    Caleb didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Westley and played a card.Westley won.And it was a big pot as well.He cocked his brows. "Is this your wedding gift to me, Caleb?"Caleb asked, "Your wedding—Dr. Greyson won't be absent, will he? I heard you two are very close. You've been at death's door multiple times, and he's the one who saved you."Westley nodded. "Theoretically, yes. But I'm not sure if he might have some emergency.""Besides, it's not like you, Caleb, can't reach him. You helped him last time. It's impossible he'd ignore you now."Caleb could contact Carter, but if he did, it would mean helping Carter meet Mandy.He had no interest in meddling in romantic matters—too troublesome.But he couldn't get in touch with Tanner at all.Technically, there was no real need for him to attend Westley's wedding.Even if Whitney was invited by Jane, he himself wasn't obligated.He simply wanted to go, hoping to "accidentally" run into Carter.That way, it wouldn't loo

    Frank pulled her into his arms and asked, "You really have to go out for drinks?"Charlotte nodded. "It's a girls-only night. No men allowed.""Oh?" The man repeated slowly and deliberately, "No… men… allowed?"Charlotte saw the look on his face and knew exactly what he was thinking."Only women. Even the drinks are for women.""Oh? Tell me, how do you tell if a drink is male or female?"Charlotte lightly patted his face twice. "The drinks women drink are for women. Got it?"Frank laughed. "Got it."Over on Jane's end, after finishing her call, she was about to go look for Jordan, but Zachary pulled her into the room and pinned her against the wall.His warm lips covered hers, then quickly pulled away.With his forehead against hers, the man asked, "Going out for drinks?"Jane hooked his chin with her finger. "What, Mr. Collins, trying to seduce your way into a drinking invitation?"Zachary chuckled lowly, kissed her again, and asked, "May I?""No."Jane rejected him comp

    Jordan had grown up in the Howard family, but the person who had taken care of her since she was little had an old house.She arranged for Jane and the others to stay there, and she would also be getting married from that house.She didn't have many friends. Originally, Leanne was supposed to be her bridesmaid. Although she had a child, she had never been married.But Leanne wasn't sure if she could make it back in time, so she let Jane and Charlotte take over as substitutes for now. They would adjust accordingly later."Try on the dress. If there's a problem, I can still make adjustments."With the help of the two of them, Jordan put on the wedding dress.But Jane was most looking forward to the wedding dress.Both her and Charlotte's weddings were going to be Cherian style.Jordan, however, wanted a Western-style one.And Charlotte, who had designed clothes for many years, had never actually designed a wedding dress before.This was her first attempt, and she was very excit

    "Okay, I won't bring it up anymore."Westley walked over with Jonathan and sat down.Miranda was very satisfied. "Finally, Jordy can have dinner with me again."Jordan smiled. "I'm also happy. I can still call you Mom.""Then let's drink to that.""Okay."Westley waited for the "mother and daughter" to finish speaking, then threw out a big announcement. "By the way, our wedding is on the 22nd of next month."Clang!The spoon in Miranda's hand fell."What did you say?""On the 22nd of next month, Jordy and I are getting married. We sincerely invite you and your husband to attend."Jordan was also shocked.She only knew that Charlotte's dress was being made, and they were picking the wedding date.But Westley hadn't told her about this in advance."Next month, it's almost the New Year.""Yes, it's a wedding before the New Year. Then we'll celebrate the New Year at home. I'm informing you in advance, my dear mom. You can prepare for the the New Year Eve dinner.""The New Y

    Jonathan almost spit out the tea he was drinking."You have principles now?""Not the right time to talk nonsense."Westley. "Do you always talk in a way that pokes others' pain points?"Jonathan smiled for a moment. "If you've done it, don't be afraid of people talking about it."Westley didn't want to continue the conversation and stood up to leave.He went to the kitchen to find Jordan and found her eating ravioli."Didn't you say you'd help?" Westley sat next to her. "How come you're eating secretly? Give me a bite?"Jordan guarded the food. "It’s in the kitchen. There's still plenty in the pot.""But I want to eat from your bowl.""But I don't want to give you any."Westley laughed. "Okay."But while Jordan took a bite of the ravioli, he kissed her.Jordan's eyes widened as she felt the ravioli in her mouth being stolen away."You're disgusting."Westley smiled. "Sweet."Jordan couldn't eat anymore and pushed the remaining ravioli to him. "I'm not eating anymore."
