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
Charlotte asked, “Has Luthor’s investigation been completed?”“That matter wasn’t hard to investigate. The twin sisters, the Joseph family helped to clarify it. The person he married is was also from the Joseph family, so it won’t affect him much.” Frank sat up. “But being embarrassed is a huge disgrace for him. He cares most about his reputation.”Charlotte could understand. After all, Luthor was a generation older than them, essentially an elder. How could he allow a younger person to embarrass him like that?On the other side, Jane gradually stopped crying.Zachary gently patted her back, helping her to calm down.Then he helped her into the car.Ross handed over a thermos, closed the car door, and stood by the car, waiting.Inside the car, Zachary poured her a cup of hot tea and gave it to Jane to warm her hands.He rubbed her head and placed a kiss on her hairline.“He won’t appear in front of you again.”Jane suddenly thought of something and looked at Zachary, her hand
The girl asked one question. If she became Zachary's sister and married Caleb, could she finally achieve her dreams without anyone standing in her way?Frank nodded in response.He didn't say much more, and Whitney agreed. Changing her surname didn't matter.As long as she never had to return to the countryside, as long as she could escape those bloodsuckers.As long as, when she finally shone in her career, she wouldn't have to face those people who made advances because of her appearance, or those who used power to suppress her.But what she didn't expect was that after Caleb said those words, her face flushed.Had she finally woken up?This scene was quite entertaining.Caleb was a well-known playboy in Yelar.Even though everyone knew his flirtations were brief and didn't lead anywhere, all the daughters of affluent families and distinguished women in Yelar wanted a taste of being involved with him.Even those not up to the mark tried everything to win his favor.Those f
Expanding the Collins family's business would also be beneficial.If Zachary hadn't gotten married, marrying a girl from the Jackson family wouldn't have been out of the question.Thinking of this, Rebecca became even angrier."Among all these women who could help him, he chose one who can't offer him anything!"Eric quickly tried to calm her down."Enough, he hasn't affected the Collins family in any way. Why can't you tolerate a simple daughter-in-law? Besides, they even gave us a grandson."Mentioning the grandson made Rebecca even more furious, her eyes were burning with anger."They won't even let me see my grandson, insisting that I wait until after the wedding. I might as well not have given birth to him."Eric sighed."Are you sure about that?"Eric thought Zachary had done well in every aspect.Even if he had married Jane, it hadn't affected the Collins family.He had such an outstanding son and now a lovely grandson.In the future, he would nurture the grandson,
Jane's question made Jordan feel her face burn even more. It felt like it was about to catch fire.She stammered, "It was just hot in the room earlier, and, uh, I got excited... you know, sending my sister off to her wedding."Jane didn't believe her. The look on her face clearly showed shyness.Earlier, when she saw her talking closely with Westley, it was obvious they hadn't been saying anything nice.Jordan also felt that Westley, in her impression, had always been dignified, mature, and steady. Even when he was younger and treated her well, he knew his boundaries.But now, his mouth was full of flirtatious words. It was like the person he was before was a completely different personality.The procession of cars made its way through the streets, finally arriving at the largest hotel in Jeswood. Today, this hotel was exclusively hosting Zachary's wedding.Several floors were filled with guests. Even a large number of reporters had arrived.Originally, the love story between Z
Zachary's eyes gleamed with a smile. "At least you still have a bit of conscience."Jordan changed the subject. "How about this? Call me Aunt Jordan three times and I’ll admit you’re very sincere about marrying my sister."Frank, who had secretly returned, leaned against the doorframe and laughed without mercy.He received a cold glare from Zachary.Frank mentally prepared himself and cleared his throat."Aunt..."Westley couldn't help but laugh as well.Jordan turned and gave him a light slap.She looked back at Zachary and smiled. "Zachary, it's fine, I won't make things hard for you. Just go ahead and see if my sister will go with you."Zachary tried but Jane refused to leave with him.She said that she had hid her shoes in the room and would only leave if he found them.Zachary looked everywhere in the room but only found one of them.He guessed where the other one might be, but he didn't dare to let his gaze fall there, not wanting Frank and Westley to see it.Frank,
Frank pushed Westley into the room."You and your wife can remarry, but Zachary has secretly helped a lot, so I think you definitely can't just watch your friend fight alone, right?"Westley ignored him, pulled out a chair beside Jordan, and sat down."Sorry, I'm part of the bride's family.""You grew up wearing the same pants as Zachary. How can you just watch him fight alone?"Jane spoke up, stopping Frank from saying more."You two come have some cookies."She gave Charlotte a meaningful look, who handed a Pocky stick to Frank.Frank cocked his brows. "Honey, you're putting me in a tough spot. What if I kiss him? Wouldn't you think I've dirtied myself?"Zachary retorted coldly, "Don’t you think I feel the same?""Don't waste time," said Charlotte.Frank made a clicking sound with his tongue and held the Pocky stick between his long fingers, not moving for a long time.Zachary reached over, grabbed the Pocky, and bit it, saying vaguely, "Hurry up, don't waste time."Fran
Leanne was also coming to the wedding, and with Buck and the others accompanying her, they could easily match up.But when he landed with Jordan in his arms, no one stopped him.Buck stepped forward to report the situation."Mr. Collins guessed your plans. This is his wedding gift to you. He wants you to remember, be careful during your wedding."Westley smiled and held Jordan as they got into the car and headed to Jane's house.When Jane saw Jordan, she was quite surprised. "Didn't you say you wouldn't make it?"Jordan was still groggy from sleep. "It's all Westley's fault."Jane didn't ask further. "Hurry and change and get your makeup done."Jordan went to wash her face, feeling a bit more awake, and let the makeup artist work on her face.Westley didn't act as the best man, so he stayed here, but not inside the room—he was standing at the front door.When Zachary came up, he was the first person to see him.Frank teased, "Mr. Howard is now part of the bride's family?"W
Jordan clicked her tongue several times and patted his shoulder. "You're really sneaky."Westley wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms. "I'd prefer to hear something sweet from your.""Like?""Like, 'honey'."Jordan realized what he was about to do and quickly tried to run away."Don't even think about it. You tricked me into coming out of town for your friend. I'm going to punish you by not satisfying your desires for a month."Westley didn't take it seriously and effortlessly pulled her back."Weren't you just worried I wouldn't be able to perform? Now that you're fine, aren't you going to try it for yourself to clear your doubts?"Jordan scolded him, "You really can't change, can you? You promised you wouldn't trick me, and now you're starting again."Westley retorted, "How have I tricked you?"Jordan couldn't find a reply and just decided to act spoiled.Westley put on a serious expression and analyzed the situation. "Let me ask you this. Didn't y
She realized something was wrong as she spoke. "Are you doing this on purpose? You're helping your friend."She quickly called Charlotte to ask if she had any plans on the day of the wedding.Charlotte said she didn't, asking what was going on.Jordan thought for a moment and then told Charlotte the truth. "I think he's doing this on purpose. Does he think that, as Jane’s younger sister, I'll be the one who's more difficult to deal with, while you, as his best friend, would be easier?"Charlotte chuckled. "How did you know that, with me, Zachary would have it easy?"However, there was one thing—during her own wedding, Zachary had indeed helped Frank.At the time, Jane had blocked the door, and it was Zachary who had gotten her out.Frank had easily taken her away.Although Frank liked to watch the show, when it came to his friends, he wouldn't hesitate to act.When she had gotten married, there hadn't been so many bridesmaids.Jane was different—Jordan was her biological sist
Westley was indeed struggling.But since he was the one who made a mistake, he felt he should bear the consequences.Jordan, however, wasn't thinking about it that way.Although Westley was holding back, showing some reaction yet not too much.Jordan felt that Westley didn’t look too good.Could it be...This wasn't an easy topic to bring up. She hesitated for a long time but still didn't say anything.Westley watched her face go through a series of expressions and could pretty much guess what she was thinking.He flicked her forehead."Stop overthinking. There's nothing wrong with me—I'm perfectly healthy. Alright, now that you're better, just rest for a few more days, and I'll prove it to you."Jordan immediately pulled the blanket over herself. "Get lost."Westley patted her lightly through the blanket. "The guest bedroom is really cold.""The bed also feels hard, not as comfortable as the master bedroom."Jordan poked her head out of the covers. "But weren't you the on
