Chapter 929

Author: Lean
“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

    Charlotte shook her head. “I’ll go tidy up first.”This outfit wasn’t very convenient either.“I’ll accompany you.”“You can talk to Mr. Howard.”Charlotte quickly left.Westley sat down in the main seat, and his trusted aide immediately poured him tea.Frank, who had drunk the tea Charlotte poured earlier, asked, “What video?”Westley gave a subtle glance, and his aide handed the tablet to Frank.Frank opened it and looked.When he saw Jasper’s face, he suppressed his disgust and watched until the end.“What did they say?”Westley replied, “The USB driver was sent by a courier. The sender’s address is a courier station in a nearby county. Following the surveillance footage, the person’s face wasn’t captured. Based on the body type, it can be judged that it's a martial artist, but it’s hard to determine whether it’s from the Collins family or the Winston family.”“Let me see the surveillance.”The aide tapped the tablet and brought up the footage.Frank paused and zoomed

    Westley was puzzled. “In such a hurry?”Zachary didn’t want to leave either. It was clear that Jane was dependent on him.But time waited for no one. If they didn’t solve the issue quickly, once it spreads all over the internet, no matter what they did later, it would still hurt Jane to some extent.Frank also stood up. “I’ll go check on the other Jasper, see what’s going on.”“I’ll leave this to you,” said Zachary, his voice suddenly serious. “I’m counting on you. The news absolutely can’t be leaked.”Westley was momentarily taken aback.They had known each other for many years, and Zachary had never asked him for anything before.Because of the favor he owed and their brotherly bond, if there was something, they would just speak frankly.But hearing him speak so earnestly made Westley respond with the same seriousness. “Don’t worry.”After sending off Zachary and Frank, he instructed the maid to send over some food.Jordan wasn’t really good at comforting others. She could

    Jordan quickly reached out to push him away, “You’re really getting old, don’t be so touchy.”Westley remained unmoved, letting out a mocking chuckle. “Do you want me to prove how old I am?”Jordan didn’t want to talk to him anymore. “Let go.”Westley, however, took a step forward, spreading her legs apart with his knee.Jordan panicked. “Don’t do anything rash, or I...”“Or what?”Westley lowered his head and kissed the tip of her nose. “It’s hard enough for you to push me away, do you think those threats are useful? You’re so naive.”Jordan could only speak the truth. “I didn’t try to seduce you, don’t get me wrong, I just want to grab the phone in your pocket.”Westley made an ‘oh’ sound, laced with subtle sarcasm.Jordan immediately grabbed his neck. “Are you letting me go or not?”Westley didn’t care, not even furrowing his brows, he looked at her with a smile in his eyes.Jordan really exerted force but couldn’t move him an inch.Finally, feeling defeated, she sighed.

    “You...”She was facing away, unable to see Westley’s expression.But she could imagine what his expression was.He must have looked a little smug.‘What a childish old man.’“We’re about to find a place to land. You don’t have much time, are you going to take the photo or not?”“Alright!”Jordan hurriedly grabbed the camera, hung it around her neck, and started capturing the view.After she finished taking the pictures, Westley began the descent.When her feet finally touched the ground, Jordan’s soul seemed to return.She quickly started to undo the straps on her body, but couldn’t manage to get it done.Westley took advantage of this and hugged her from behind, watching her fumble, even laughing.Jordan was so angry she felt powerless, cursing at him. “You’re such a jerk.”“Okay.” Westley rested his chin on her shoulder and even kissed her neck. “Cuss some more. Say more insults.”Jordan gritted her teeth. “Hurry up and let go, I need to use the bathroom.”Westley rel

    She hadn’t had time to grab her phone.There were no communication devices in the room.Just as she was about to leave, thinking of breaking through from Westley, he suddenly entered.She quickly stepped back, hugging herself, her voice trembling.“What do you want?”Westley threw a set of clothes at her, saying indifferently, “If I wanted to do something, could you really avoid it? That’s really unnecessary."Jordan didn’t want to talk to him any longer.The clothes were brought by him, but she didn’t refuse.At this point, it was better to have clothes on than stay in a bathrobe.If there was an opportunity to escape, it would also be easier."Aren’t... aren’t you going out?"Just as she was about to change, she noticed Westley leaning against the door, his arms crossed, watching her leisurely.It was hard to imagine that all these recent events were done by a 35-year-old mature man.She never realized that Westley was so childish at his core.Seeing that he had no inte

    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
