Chapter 940

Author: Lean
There were only a few people at the airport.

So she immediately saw Zachary waiting at the exit.

She jogged a few steps and threw herself into his arms.

Zachary gently patted her head, placing a kiss on the top of her hair. In a soft voice, he asked, "Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"

Jane shook her head, then looked up at him. "Aren’t you going to ask me why I came back to Jeswood?"

Zachary’s lips curved into a faint smile. "No need to ask, I already know."

Jane curved her lips. "Makes you sound so smart."

Zachary took the bag off her shoulder, and Ross immediately took it from him.

He wrapped his arm around her as they walked out together.

"Then I don’t know the reason that you’re back. How about you tell me?" he teased.

Jane gave him a sidelong glance.

Zachary helped her into the car and held her hand, playing with it.

He asked again, "Are you hungry?"

Jane shook her head.

The car started, and after a while, she realized something was off with the route.

    Eric pressed his forehead, and his brows and eyes already showed signs of exhaustion.It wasn’t that he was tired, or that he had been waiting until midnight.Rather, he regretted that, before Zachary had fully grown up, he should have been more resolute.He knew he could eliminate Jane without letting Zachary committing suicide.“I can only wait and see what they want.”When they returned home, Jane noticed that the room had already been cleaned.She asked Zachary, “Did you have someone clean the room?”Zachary nodded and went to the kitchen to pour her a cup of hot water.Jane took it and sipped slowly.Zachary went to take a shower first. When Jane went to the bathroom afterward, the water was still warm.That night, they did nothing and just held each other to sleep.Early in the morning, they were woken up by a phone call.Jane turned over and reached for her phone, but a hand reached it first.It pressed the answer button, and a resentful voice came through from Jord

    When she heard the name Jasper, Jane instinctively stiffened.Zachary raised his hand and placed it on her back, gently soothing her.“Relax, I’m here.”Jane wanted to relax.But Jasper was like a curse.Although she hadn’t seen him in years and hadn’t been beaten again, seeing him now made those dark days from the past feel like they were resurfacing.And she couldn’t deny that this biological father of hers had indeed become a stain in her life.In this situation, staying with Zachary was actually harming him.How could she relax?“Eat, it’s bad for your stomach if the food gets cold.”Zachary served her some dishes, his gaze never leaving Jane, regardless of the expressions on the people across the table.Under these circumstances, no matter how carefree Jane tried to be, she couldn’t eat.She tapped Zachary’s thigh under the table.Zachary held her hand and whispered, “We’ll talk about it tonight. Don’t make a scene now.”Jane withdrew her hand.She looked at Rebecca

    “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

    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
