Raymond quickly hung up the phone.Zachary could say whatever he liked, but he dared not listen.On the other end of the line, Jane stood on her tiptoes, resting her chin on Zachary’s shoulder. She turned her head to ask him, "Luthor ran away?"Zachary hummed in response, shifting his shoulder slightly. "I’ll cook first."Jane let go of him and grabbed a cucumber, leaning against the side to eat it."By the way, does this mean you know his escape route?"Zachary fried some of her favorite fries and fed her one, a smile tugging at his lips. "If he wants to go abroad and not leave any trace for me to track. There’s only one route."Jane still wanted to ask more questions, but his phone rang."Can you answer it up for me?"Jane glanced at the word "Howard" on the screen, answered the call, and turned on the loudspeaker.Westley’s deep voice came through. "Is it a good time to talk?"Zachary was brief. "Talk."Westley hesitated, clearly struggling to say something.Zachary imm
"As a result, Jordan really didn't like him anymore, and he began to panic."Jane clicked his tongue. "So, that means, in reality, Westley did have some feelings for Jordan, but he thought Jordan was too young and that himself was a bastard, so he avoided her. But later, Jordan stopped liking him, he faced his own feelings, and didn't want to divorce anymore, right?""Right."Jane clicked his tongue several times. "His mind is all tangled up. It's fine for work, but it doesn't work in relationships."Zachary scooped the food onto a plate and handed it to Jane. "Take it out, dinner's ready."The moment Westley landed, he found out Jordan's location and went straight to her.Jordan was waiting for the Soras.There were a lot of mosquitoes, and she was wrapped up tightly.She stayed still in the grass.But Westley recognized her at a glance.He didn't disturb her and waited nearby.His trusted subordinates sprayed insect repellent around him.They waited like that for several
Westley's words shocked everyone in Jordan's team.Oliver's expression changed slightly, but he still forced a smile. "Jordy never mentioned that she was married...""We've been married for over three years..."Jordan became anxious and stomped on Westley's foot. "Shut up!"Even though Westley had been avoiding Jordan for those three years,When he heard the name "Oliver," Westley still had someone investigate him.Oliver came from a scholarly family and had a clean personal life aside from his career, he appeared to be someone who could be trusted for a lifetime.But Westley didn't think Oliver was right for Jordan.And no matter how he looked at it, he just found Oliver unpleasant."We are legally married, why can't I talk about it?"Jordan erupted. "Westley! We're getting a divorce, what's there to talk about!"Westley tightened his large hand around her slender waist.He had originally intended to handle things more gently.But now, he couldn’t hold back his anger anym
She hinted at Jordan, asking what was going on with Oliver.Jordan sent a confused emoji. "He's my mentor, a very good person, I respect him a lot, and I hope our mentor-student relationship will never change."It seemed that Jordan didn’t have the same feelings towards Oliver as Oliver had towards her.On the other side, Zachary also received a message from Westley.Westley. "You did that on purpose."Zachary. "What, it was my fault to give you ideas?"Westley. "I've changed my approach, but you messed it up."Zachary. "You were the one who wasn't calm."Westley. "How can anyone remain calm when they see a rival in love?"That was true.Westley. "Who went crazy before because of Jane's pursuer?"Zachary almost laughed with anger. "You have no appreciation for a good heart."Westley. "You’re the heartless one."Zachary didn't reply.After a while, Westley sent another message. "What should I do now? You have to be responsible."Zachary glanced at Jane's phone screen and
The girl finally couldn't hold back anymore. She immediately got up and walked out.As she reached the door, she turned and said to Jordan with a feigned sweetness. "Remember, you’re the one who asked me to do this."Jordan didn't bother responding.Once the girl was far enough away, Jordan stood up and went to the window to look down.Westley had been looking up at the window of her private room.Their eyes met.Westley even raised a hand towards her.Jordan didn't move, and looked at him expressionlessly.The girl reached Westley and stopped in front of him.She walked slowly, worried that the wind might mess up her carefully styled fringe."Hello, Mr. Howard."Westley didn't even spare her a glance.When she walked over, Buck blocked her a meter away from Westley.The girl adjusted her breathing and flashed a smile she thought was very sweet."I'm Jordy's good friend, my name is Leona."Westley gave her a side glance, and Buck immediately escorted her away."I won’t
However, one person who had a fairly good relationship with Leona looked at her worriedly and asked, "Your husband won't do anything to Leona, will he?"There was no reason for Jordan to stay. She picked up her bag and replied indifferently, "Shouldn't you be happy for her? Didn't she want to have something going on with my husband? Isn't it just what she wants to be taken away like this?"After saying that, she turned around and left.But then she met Westley's eyes.Oliver had just raised his hand to stop her, but when he saw Westley, he put his hand down.Jordan just took one look and then withdrew her gaze, sidestepping past Westley.Westley didn't stop her either. Instead, he followed her downstairs.When walking out of the hotel restaurant, he grabbed her arm and took her into his car.Jordan didn't even bother to argue at that moment.Anyway, it wouldn't lead to any result even if they argued.Westley didn't say a word either, until they arrived at the hotel where he w
Since then, he had begun to alienate her.After getting married, he became even colder.A kiss was a luxury.So she had never had such a fierce and intense kiss before.She didn't even know how to breathe properly during a kiss and didn't know that her breath would be taken away like that.When she was let go, she almost thought that she would suffocate.She took big gulps of air, just like a fish out of water gasping for oxygen on the shore.Westley looked down at her with his eyes lowered.Only a small lamp was on in the room. In the dim environment, his drooping eyelashes hid most of his desires.When Jordan's breathing began to stabilize, he lowered his head and kissed her again."Westley..."Jordan shook her head to avoid it, but her head was held tightly by his big hands.She was forced to raise her slender and fair neck to endure it.She had nowhere to hide. When she couldn't breathe smoothly, she wildly waved her tied hands.Her fingernails scratched across his ja
Luthor drifted on the sea for a whole day and night, reaching the border of the Cloud.Just as he was about to cross, he was surrounded by Raymond and his men.Luthor looked disheveled. Upon seeing Raymond, he thought Zachary had come and quickly tidied up his dirty clothes.He then lifted his proud head and said, "Since you're here, come out."Raymond sneered. "Mr. Collins isn’t here. It doesn't take his presence to catch you."The local police from the Cloud also arrived, joining in the capture.Luthor was unwilling to fail like this.Thinking that Nina was still behind him to help, he prepared to ignore the men around him and cross the border.At that moment, a woman charged into the encirclement and pushed him past the border."Goodbye, Luthor."She raised her gun and fired. The police could only take action.Blood splattered across Luthor's face.It was as if he was transported back to that day when he watched his beloved die in front of him."Juliet!"The woman smil
"You have a lot of time now since you don’t need to attend meetings, Mr. Collins."Eric had never considered that Zachary would grow this strong.He had never imagined that Zachary could push him into early retirement.Since didn’t have to go to work, he now had time to deal with Zachary and Jane's situation."Frank, you're close to Zachary, but this is a family matter. It's not convenient for you to get involved.""I'm not involved." Frank put his hands in his pockets and spoke in his usual laid-back tone. "If Mrs. Collins hit Jane, my wife will be upset. When my wife is upset, I'm the one who failed to care for her. So, how can this be just a matter for the Collins family?"Frank was always good at twisting words, and Eric didn't want to argue further.He tugged at Rebecca, signaling her to calm down.At that moment, with both Frank and Charlotte present, they couldn't do anything to Jane.Rebecca was not happy, glaring at Jane. "Are you satisfied now? Do you want him to be
"Apply some medicine."Charlotte looked at Jane's condition and paused before saying, "Call a nurse over."Frank sent someone to do that.Soon, a nurse from Cheria arrived.She didn't say much, almost nothing at all.She carefully treated Jane's wounds.Finally, she said, "She can't keep wearing wet clothes. Her skin feels a bit warm to me. She might be burning up with a fever."Frank nodded slightly.He knew that Charlotte had heard her."She can go change in the room next door.""You should change too."Charlotte had brought some clothes with her when she came on a business trip to Nelana. When she found out Jane had been kidnapped, she rushed over immediately.She had brought her suitcase along as well.Jane and Charlotte had similar builds, so wearing her clothes wouldn't be a problem.But given the situation, Jane might not want to change."You can't collapse now. I know you'll want to take care of Zachary, right?"Jane glanced at Charlotte, her voice still carryin
Jane dodged a bullet, and another explosion rang in her ears.She was pulled into a familiar, warm embrace.But the smell of gunpowder and blood immediately filled her nose."Zachary!"Zachary patted her head, soothing her. "It's okay."His voice was hoarse, how could it be okay?Jane dropped what she was holding and quickly wrapped her arms around him.In front of them, Roy had already subdued Luthor, Nina, and the others.However, in the chaos, they hadn't expected Luthor to still be able to shoot with his left hand.Zachary had blocked the shot with his body.Frank arrived shortly after, and upon seeing the situation, he rushed to call for a doctor and pushed a mobile stretcher over.He contacted Westley. "Contact the Greyson Infirmary, preferably Carter Greyson."Westley had close ties with the Greyson family.When he learned that Zachary had been shot, he personally went to ask Carter to treat Zachary.He also arranged a private jet to take them to the hospital.At
Jane thought this kind of statement was problematic."You two have known each other since childhood, longer than I have, and understand each other more deeply. If you wanted to get married, you could have done so long ago. Why did you have to wait for me to appear before marrying?"She had been young before, and Nina didn't have the ability to shake the foundation of the Collins family.So, she went abroad, working hard to expand her influence and develop.She even sacrificed everything, just to gain the power to stand on equal footing with the Collins family.She wanted them to have no way to stop her from marrying Zachary.But when she worked hard to return, Jane had already beaten her to the punch, disrupting all her plans.What was even more hateful was that a cheap woman could win Zachary's heart, but she couldn’t."Because you deserve it."Jane was speechless."I never stopped you. After you returned, I even broke up with Zachary. If you two didn't get together, you can
She was also thinking about how to keep delaying things.Nina sat on the sofa, waiting for the test results.Luthor sat next to the hospital bed.Jane felt like a bird in a cage, even if she banged her head against the bars until it bled, she still couldn't fly out of the cage.Besides, these two cold-hearted people wouldn't soften their hearts just because they saw her crash against the bars.She slowly and subtly untied the rope on her foot.She spoke up, "I need to use the bathroom."Luthor got up to carry her, but she refused. "I can walk by myself."But he still picked her up.When he placed her on the toilet, he stayed standing next to her."Aren't you going to leave?""I'm not leaving."Jane really wanted to roll her eyes, but she held back and said, "There's only one door, no windows, and you're blocking it. How am I supposed to escape?""I have diarrhea, and you're just going to stand here and watch me?"She felt disgusted even saying it, but he didn't even flinc
"Can't they just take blood and send it for testing?" he asked.The doctor glanced at Jane's condition and said, "If she really is pregnant, in this state, she'll probably need to be treated in the hospital.""If it's early pregnancy, there's no guarantee the baby will be kept."Luthor immediately picked up Jane and took her to the hospital.Nina originally wanted to stop him.But then she thought, there was nothing wrong with Jane being pregnant.It could be an opportunity to let her experience true hell.Zachary and his group were close to the location where Jane was.Frank received a location sent by Lucifer, along with a picture.He showed it to Charlotte, hesitating whether or not to tell Zachary.In that state, if there was any more stimulation, he might really turn into a madman."This is a good thing," Charlotte suddenly spoke up. Zachary looked over, and she held Frank's hand, turning it so he could see."Going to the hospital means Jane is temporarily fine."How
Luthor withdrew his hand, his gaze sweeping over her abdomen.It was clear he didn't believe her."You really are naive. Being pregnant doesn't mean you can't..." "Didn't you want to crush the Collins family?" Jane quickly interrupted. "You should know how much the Collins family cares about children. When Nina was pregnant, the Collins family didn't let her be part of the family, but they treated her well, providing her with food and drink, all for the sake of her child. If this child calls you 'dad,' don't you think it's the best revenge against the Collins family? You could also use the child to control them."Luthor's expression remained unchanged.But Jane clearly saw a glint of interest flash in his eyes.She pressed on. "For the sake of this child, I'm willing to do anything. This is your leverage over me. No matter what, you won't lose, right?"Luthor wasn't going to fall for Jane's words so easily.He knew better than anyone how capable Zachary was."Fine," he said c
Luthor enjoyed seeing her like this."It's a live stream."On the other side, Zachary's hand trembled, but he gripped the phone tightly.The screen shattered, and he loosened his grip, afraid the phone would break and he wouldn't be able to see Jane.But this way, he couldn't control his strength. His muscles started to stiffen.The wound that had been treated reopened, and blood started flowing again.Frank was worried that his hand would truly be ruined, so he reached out to grab the phone, but was pushed away with force.The shove was so strong that Frank staggered a step back."Do you want to bite me?"Charlotte grabbed his hand and gently ran her fingers over his palm.As a friend, she wanted to tear Luthor into a thousand pieces, let alone Zachary, who loved Jane so much.Frank bent over and whispered in her ear, "If I don’t stop him, he'll lose it in a minute.""Westley still hasn't given a response..."Just as he was speaking, his phone rang.Charlotte tightened h
The word "yes" followed the smoke as it escaped from his nostrils.Charlotte bit her lip, unsure of what to say at the moment.Frank raised his hand and gently pressed her head down, speaking, "Finding Jane is the most important thing right now."When Jane got off the bamboo raft, she was lifted off.She was thrown into the trunk like a pig being tossed aside.She landed heavily with a loud bang. She felt like her bones had broken.The trunk slammed shut, plunging her vision into darkness. The air around her grew thin.She tried to break free from her restraints, but they were tied skillfully. The more she moved, the tighter they became.A sharp pain shot through her wrist, and when she realized it was bleeding, she stopped moving.But the journey felt uneven, and she bounced with the motion.Luckily, she hadn't eaten much before being tied up.If she had thrown up, the enclosed space would've suffocated her.So, when they lifted her out of the trunk, her head was a bit diz
