Chapter 961

Author: Lean
"The living could no longer speak, and the only option is to start with the dead. If the autopsy confirms it was an unnatural death, then we can start the investigation. Luthor couldn’t hide everything."

Zachary nodded. "You handle it. Solve problems that you come across by yourself."

"Yes, Mr. Collins."

Meanwhile, Westley overheard and said, "The Winston family is ruthless, and Luthor, as the one in power, is even worse. But his father was useless. Luthor had to clean up his mess many times."

"During the mine disaster, Luthor was busy. He was in such a hurry, so it definitely wasn't handled properly."

Zachary just hummed in response, sat down on the sofa, and started typing on his phone.

Westley thought he was dealing with something, but when he got up to pour some water, he glanced over and realized he was chatting with Jane.

"What are you doing?" asked Zachary.

Jane sent a picture. "Watching TV."

Zachary opened it and smiled faintly. "What, learning the indomitable spirit f

    The weather was still a bit chilly right after the start of spring. It was the weekend, and there was light rain.In the morning, most of the people on holiday were in bed, playing with their phones.— #Lirad Mine Disaster#This hashtag surged to the top of trending topics at that moment.Luthor could manipulate public opinion, and Zachary could do the same.The former wanted to remove the hashtag from trending, while the latter spent money to keep it at number one.The video from Jasper, on the other hand, didn’t attract much attention anymore.All the focus was on the mine disaster hashtag, and the topic quickly surpassed ten million in views.And it was still growing.Luthor began to feel anxious and called Tim for an update.Tim said that no one had approached the place where the bodies were buried.But Luthor’s tense nerves did not relax because of that.He called a few trusted people.They all said they hadn’t seen anyone from Zachary’s side near the village."Even

    #Paternity Test Report Proves the Whistleblower is a Mine Disaster Survivor#Luthor clicked on the topic and saw the surname "Stone." He felt his vision go dark.The entire family that died had the surname "Stone.""Zachary is staging an act, of course, it has to be convincing. So it’s normal that he knows these things," said Gregory, his hand trembling uncontrollably as he held the teacup. "We can’t scare ourselves. We need to stay calm and not make any rash moves…"Luthor kicked Gregory.All respect and morals were gone."Didn’t I warn you back then? The mine disaster was risky, and we absolutely couldn’t let small gains lead to big losses!"Gregory’s health had been in decline for many years.Although he had been getting treatment, it wasn’t enough compared to Luthor, who was in his prime.The kick sent Gregory to the ground, where he couldn’t get up for a long time. Weakly, he said, "I… I was just trying… for the Winston family to prosper…"Luthor sneered. "Are you happy

    Jane said, “This is obviously the Winston family trying to control the public opinion. How could they possibly admit it?”Jordan nodded. “Exactly.”Charlotte made a phone call to Frank. After hanging up, she turned to Jane and said, “Luthor’s father was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, but his condition isn’t good. He may not survive.”Jordan spoke first, “After all the evil he’s done, I think it’s a miracle he’s still alive. If he dies, it’s just what he deserves.”Jane put her arm around Jordan’s shoulders and shook her head. “Jordan, you’re still too young.”“What do you mean?”“Dead people don’t talk. If Luthor’s father dies, then all the responsibility will fall on him. Luthor is smart, he’ll get out of this unharmed, save the Winston family, and later, when the opportunity arises, he’ll still go after Zachary.”Jordan truly didn’t understand the power struggles of the big shots.She made a cutting gesture across her neck. “With such ruthless people in the W

    As long as everything he had remained unchanged, he still had a chance to make things difficult for Zachary.But he also knew that with the huge leverage Zachary now had over the Winston family, the latter definitely wouldn’t let him escape easily.“Luthor, say something. What should we do?”“Yeah, you're the head of the Winston family. You have to ensure the Winston family’s safety.”“Otherwise... well, since Uncle Gregory is in critical condition, just let him take all the blame.”Luthor didn’t want to listen to any of it. He had his subordinates lock them up in a side room.His brain was working quickly, trying to figure out a solution.Just then, his phone rang.It was an international number.A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he answered.“I can help you.”A woman's voice came through, without any preamble.Luthor paused for a moment before simply saying, “Okay.”The voice continued, “But I can only save you.”“That's fine.”He hung up the phone and immediatel

    Zachary did not respond to Westley, but instructed Ronan to check the highway toll station for buses.Westley understood.Some buses did not require ID cards, making it difficult to leave a trace.If they had been careless, by the time Luthor reached the border area or took a private boat to leave, it would be hard to trace."I didn't expect Luthor to compromise to this extent."He was 40 years old.His life had always been smooth sailing, always traveling by special car wherever he went.This black bus was truly a hardship.Zachary stood up.Westley followed him out.As they entered the elevator, Zachary glanced at him through the elevator wall and said with a half-smile, "Are you very idle?"Westley coughed lightly. "I’ll keep quiet."Frank came to pick up Charlotte and happened to run into Zachary.His gaze fell on Westley's face, and he snickered, "Mr. Howard, are you retiring?"They knew Westley’s intentions, but they pretended not to.He did not respond, but direct

    "There's no rush to eat. Let me first see how much someone has missed me these past few days."Zachary’s gaze instantly darkened, and he pulled her into the bedroom.Soon, the bedroom was filled with passion.The moment Jordan was thrown into the car, she immediately started running in the opposite direction.Westley grabbed her leg and pulled her back.Jordan kicked him. "Get off, you old pervert! If you touch me again, I’ll call the police."Westley helped her sit back down and instructed the driver to drive."I’m not going with you, stop the car!""I have something to say to you.""I’m not listening!"Westley coaxed her gently. "Aren’t you curious? About the Winston family?"Jordan shook her head, "I’m not curious. I can ask Jane or Charlotte. Stop the car now, or I’ll call the police."Westley said slowly, "Jane and the others can’t talk to you right now. Give me some time, and I’ll tell you everything. That way, you’ll be able to chat with them later."Jordan still re

    Jordan, fuming with anger, threw the yogurt bottle aside and immediately stood up to leave.Westley hurriedly grabbed her hand, his tone slightly pleading, "Okay, I won’t call you that, please don’t be mad."Jordan shook off his hand. "I don’t think there’s anything left to talk about. If you don’t agree to the divorce, I’ll take things to court. I still don’t believe you can control the entire world."Westley furrowed his brows slightly, then grabbed her hand again and pulled her into his embrace.He was someone whose words attracted crowds of thousands.He was someone who never had to think long about what to say, who could easily distinguish between what was okay to say and what wasn’t.And he was someone who, no matter what he said or did, no one dared to challenge him.But at that moment, the words were at the tip of his tongue, and he spoke carefully."What do you want me to do, so that we won’t divorce?"Jordan couldn’t figure it out. Why did Westley suddenly like her?

    "No need, I’ve already bought a ticket."Westley nodded and grabbed his coat. "I’ll take you to the airport."On the way, Jordan kept thinking, but couldn’t figure it out.She had set up a group chat with Jane and Charlotte, but her messages hadn’t gotten any replies for a long time.It wasn’t until they got to the airport that Jane finally responded."Change in tactics."Jordan instantly understood.So, when she got out of the car, she immediately slung her bag over her shoulder and ran off.She didn’t want to say another word to Westley.Westley waited until her plane had taken off before leaving the airport.Once he sat in the back seat of the car, he pressed his fingers to his temple, feeling confused. "What do young girls want these days?"Buck didn’t understand either. "Sir, you should ask Miss Leanne. Mrs. Howard and Miss Leanne were very close before."Westley knew that Leanne would rather watch the show than help him.Besides, her own love life had been a failure,

    Jane said lightly, “Do you think Westley would let you find him easily?”“No, but if we keep chasing him, we will eventually find him.” Zachary brought the food to her. “Eat something.”Jane refused his feeding, took the plate and ate by herself.Zachary then placed some more food in front of her.Jane said, “You don’t need to take care of me. I can eat by myself. You should eat too.”Those words made Zachary feel a sense of relief.It seemed she wasn’t angry, nor was she blaming him.“This matter was indeed my oversight. I thought that since Jordan was with your cousin in Impelia, Westley wouldn’t be able to reach her. But I never expected that he would be so bold and take Jordan away directly.”Jane understood. “You want me to put the blame on my cousin, right?”Zachary replied without changing his expression, “How could that be? This matter is entirely my responsibility.”Jane didn’t say anything, only remarking, “When I give birth, I want to see Jordan.”Zachary reassure

    Westley handed her the phone.“Tell him yourself.”Jordan was surprised the moment she took the phone, but then she realized something didn’t feel right.He gave it to her so easily...She snapped, “You did this on purpose!”Westley didn’t deny it.Jordan didn’t care much about that anymore and immediately dialed Zachary’s number.When Zachary saw the caller ID, his right eyelid twitched violently.Frank glanced at him. “Why aren’t you answering?”Zachary sighed in frustration. “Stop watching the show, you answer it.”Frank raised his hands. “My wife and your wife are on the same page.”Frank’s position was the same as Zachary’s. He didn’t dare answer the phone either.He pursed his lips as he didn’t have the right to criticize Frank.This phone felt like something that neither of them wanted to have anything to do with.In the end, Zachary still answered it.“Westley, you only have one chance...”“It’s me, Zachary.”Zachary thought something was terribly wrong. “Give

    Westley was indeed cunning, but when Zachary said he couldn’t guess Westley’s plan, that was purely pretending to be ignorant.Even he knew that intercepting a plane wouldn’t work.Since Nathan was pursuing so closely, if Westley wanted to take someone away, he must have prepared multiple plans.For example, parachuting mid-way.But he was enjoying watching the drama and didn’t expose it.“I do have some responsibility in this matter.” Nathan was always someone who took responsibility for his actions. “But the responsibility of not saving Jordan falls on you.”Zachary felt like his head was going to explode.He could roughly guess where Westley had parachuted.But that place had many landing spots, and it wasn’t something that could be found in just a day or two.Moreover, since Westley dared to take Jordan away from Nathan, he must have made detailed plans.Knowing they were searching, he would definitely change locations.This was a tug-of-war.It was hard to explain to J

    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
