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

"Congratulations, you're reborn."It seemed that today wasn't only the day of our wedding anniversary, it was also the day that his true love got her divorce.I had never thought that such a thing would happen to me.Even though the marriage between Ryan and me wasn't because the two of us fell in love with each other, he still pretended to dote on me in front of others.I sat in front of the dining table, looking at the steak that had gone cold and the words at the top of the trending searches. "Ryan Frost Spending Millions to Please His Wife."I felt every single word of that sentence taunting me.It was two o'c

    'Jewelry?' I wondered.I furrowed my brows slightly and raised my voice to ask Ryan, who had just gone into the bathroom, "Ryan, Jessica's here. I'll head down to take a look."The next second, Ryan quickly walked out of the bathroom. His face was colder than ever. It was an expression that I had never seen."I'll go. It's none of your business, go wash up."The man who had always been calm in front of me suddenly had a trace of emotion in his voice. He sounded annoyed and nervous at the same time.A strange feeling arose in my heart. "I've already washed up. I was the one who squeezed the toothpaste on your toothbrush, have you forgotten?""Alright, let's head downstairs together then. We can't keep the guest waiting."I held his hand and walked down the stairs.The staircase was in a spiral. When we were halfway down, I could see Jessica wearing a white dress and sitting elegantly on the sofa.She also raised her head when she heard us coming down the stairs. When she saw mi

    I was completely dumbfounded.I looked at the email over and over again as if I was trying to confirm something.I wasn’t seeing things.Jessica suddenly became the director of the Design Department, my superior.“Do you know her, Charlotte?”Jane could tell that something wasn’t right. She reached out and waved her in front of my eyes as she tried to guess what was going on.I put down my phone. “Yes, she’s Ryan’s stepsister that I told you about before.”After graduation, my roommates went their separate ways. But Jane and I had been good friends throughout university. We promised each other to stay in Jelaston and not go anywhere else.“Fuck! So she got this position because she’s Ryan’s stepsister?” cursed Jane.I was rendered speechless.‘She’s probably more than just his stepsister,’ I said inwardly.“Is Ryan out of his mind?” Jane continued to complain. “Why does she get to be the director? I’ve never heard of her in the design industry before, but Ryan just gave her the positio

    Ryan almost agreed instantly and didn't hesitate at all.I wrapped my arms around his neck, curved my lips, and locked gazes with him. "Are you really willing to give me 10% of the company's shares?"His eyes were clear. "I'm giving the shares to you and not some outsider."At that moment, I had to admit that money was really good at proving loyalty.All the emotions that I had suppressed during the morning had finally eased.As if trying to prove something, I asked with a smile, "What about Jessica? Are you willing to give her shares?"He fell silent for a moment and then gave me a definite answer. "No.""Seriously?""Seriously. All I can give her is the director's position."Ryan pulled me into his arms and said in a warm and gentle voice, "I'll get Gary to bring the share transfer agreement in the afternoon. From today onwards, you're one of the Frost Group's shareholders. Everyone else will be working for you.""What about you?" I asked with a smile since I was in a bette

    Jessica knew that Ryan was waiting for me.She was the one asking for us to give her a ride, but she still sat in the passenger seat.I really wanted to turn on my heels and leave, but reason told me to stay. I reached out my hand and said to Ryan, "Keys."Ryan remained silent and just placed the keys in my hand.I walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat. I smiled as I looked at the surprised look on Jessica's face. "No problem at all. You're Ryan's sister, so it's normal for you to ask us to give you a lift."After saying so, I looked at Ryan, who was still standing next to the car. "Get in. Grandpa is probably already waiting for us."No one spoke throughout the journey.It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.Jessica wanted to talk to Ryan, but she didn't because she probably felt that it would seem a little awkward if she kept on turning around to talk to Ryan.Ryan had probably sensed my unhappiness, so he opened a bottled drink and passed

    Jessica's words made me freeze on the spot.I was completely gobsmacked.I would sometimes have doubts about their relationship, but my thoughts were proven wrong every time.Ryan and Jessica weren't related but they were both members of the Frost family. Technically, they were still brother and sister by name.Besides, both of them were married.I felt that there was no way that a talented man like Ryan would be involved in such an unbelievable thing.However, I was wrong. Not too far away, Ryan pinned Jessica to the wall. His cold and disdainful voice sounded. "You did it for me? You were the one who decided to marry someone else, what right have you got to ask me to do anything?""I..."The two questions rendered Jessica speechless. Tears streamed down her face as she helplessly grabbed the hem of Ryan's clothes."I'm sorry, Ryan. Please forgive me this once. Please! I had no choice back then...""I'm already married.""Can't you get a divorce?"Jessica was quite a stubb

    Ryan was a little surprised at my actions, but said nothing.I pursed my lips and said softly, "What happened on the night of our wedding?"I could still remember waiting on the balcony the whole night for him.Ryan abandoned his newly wedded wife on the night of their wedding and left without saying a word.I thought it was because of something important and worried about his safety. I even thought that he was unhappy with something I had done and hoped that he would come back home soon.Back then, I was only 23 years old. I somehow was able to marry the man that I had a crush on for years.How could I not look forward to our marriage?I only found out today that he was with another woman during our wedding night.Everything sounded like a joke.Ryan didn't keep anything from me. His voice was still soft. "She went street racing that night and had an accident. I was notified by the police to pick her up."'What a coincidence. She just had to have an accident on the night of

    I didn't want to understand Tom's perverted joke, but I still did.Jane chuckled and said, "It's not, but it didn't really satisfy me."I looked at Jane in disbelief as if asking her what she was talking about."We slept with each other once. It wasn't a great experience." Jane didn't care if Tom was right next to her or not.Tom stomped his foot sulkily. "That was my first time. What do you know anyway!""Stop right there! I can't be held responsible! You're just a playboy, so don't talk about your first time with me. You've probably lost your virginity to these anyway." Jane interrupted and pointed to Tom's hands.I looked at Tom, who was usually the playboy and saw him blush. Only then did I figure out what was going on.The two of them had a one-night stand and Tom was probably pursuing Jane at the moment.Jane ignored Tom and led me towards a private room. "A senior in university has returned to the country. Tom and the others organized this party and asked me to tag along

    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

    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

    #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

    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

    "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

    Before Rick arrived, he had been briefed by Zachary.He had already anticipated the Greyson family’s reaction.So, he only delivered the message and didn’t say another word before leaving.Brandon and Amanda chased after him.Of course, they weren’t regretting their decision, it was more of a warning.“We had a chance to cooperate, it would’ve been a perfect match. The Greyson family has no blemishes that could harm Mr. Collins’s future. But it’s a pity, Mr. Collins chose a woman like that. Not only that, he’s hurt our daughter as well. It’s too late now for him to come to us for help.”Rick left, expressionless, and got into the car.It was an insult to his intelligence to say even one more word to such fools.With nothing to do at home, Jane suggested they play cards.But Jordan was more concerned, saying that in such a crisis, how could they entertain themselves?So the three of them stared at each other for a long while.Charlotte tried to lighten the mood. “How about I

    Jane analyzed for her. "Let things escalate . We can clarify things afterwards, and it will be more convincing."Jordan’s eyes widened in disbelief. "You have another video that can turn the situation around?"The videos Jane had were all given to Zachary.The video he posted yesterday was almost everything.How he would handle it afterward, she had no idea."I trust Zachary.""He won’t let me get hurt."Jordan burped and said, "I shouldn’t be eating, just watching the both of you feed each other dog food is enough to fill me up."Jane and Charlotte exchanged a smile.The video posted by Luthor stayed hot on the trending list all night.Westley saw that Zachary had been standing by the French windows, smoking one cigarette after another.He asked, "Do you need any help?"The response was simple. "No need."Westley couldn’t quite understand.The video circulating online wasn’t very beneficial towards Jane.When parents beat their children, there was no legal standard to j

    Charlotte was about to say something when she heard him speak in a meaningful tone. "It’s very dangerous outside. The safest place is to go home with me."She knew he was never serious for even a day.Charlotte shot him a glance.Frank raised his hand and gently pressed her head."What I said earlier was serious. When a beast is cornered, it might do anything, uncontrollable things. For the next few days, just stay at home."Charlotte glanced toward the living room and asked, "What about Zachary?"Frank understood immediately. "He’s fine."Charlotte nodded. "Thanks again. Go do what you have to. We’re about to eat."Frank raised his eyebrows, a mischievous smile tugging at his lips. "Do I just get a verbal thank you? We haven’t..."Charlotte quickly covered his mouth and pushed him toward the door.She was about to shut the door.Frank blocked it with his foot and quickly kissed her lips."I like this thank you gift."Before Charlotte could react, the man shut the door beh
