Chapter 979

Author: Lean
Zachary had taken control of significant power by his 30s.

He owned countless riches.

His troubled love life was something he had created himself, and he couldn't blame anyone else.

What was there to be violent about?

Even what Zachary did didn’t count as violent.

Though sometimes, he could indeed be annoyingly domineering and overbearing.

"Are you cursing me inwardly?"

Jane quickly shook her head. "No, I just don't understand why Westley..."

Zachary narrowed his eyes slightly. "Liar."

"You're misbehaving, so today I'll punish you. No gossip for you."

"What?"

This was serious!

For Jane, this was worse than being executed.

She quickly leaned in and kissed him. "Please, tell me, Zachary..."

Zachary's gaze flickered. "What did you just call me?"

Jane leaned in close to his ear and whispered, "Honey?"

The man's Adam's apple bobbed.

The interrupted atmosphere returned as he flipped over, pinning her beneath him.

Jane quickly extended her hand to push him off. "You can't do

    He rushed back that night.Upon learning that Jordan had gone to the Howard family's residence, he found himself only looking for trouble.Buck watched Westley hurry back, his normally well-arranged suit now creased.He didn't even enter the house, instead turning and walking away.He sighed inwardly.If he liked her, why push her away?Now, when he wanted to pull her back, the string had already snapped.If it weren’t for the fact that Westley was Buck’s superior, he really wanted to say, "You deserve this."Mr. Howard glanced toward the door and then poked Mrs. Howard's arm with his finger.Mrs. Howard looked at Jordan, who had her head lowered.Her voice was firm, clearly having made up her mind.It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision."Alright, I'll persuade Westley. But you're still my goddaughter. Since you're here, why not have a meal with me?"Jordan nodded.Westley went to find Zachary.Zachary was cooking, and he didn't answer the phone in time.Jane was stil

    As soon as he turned around, he saw a certain onlooker hiding behind the screen, playfully winking at him.Zachary curved his lips into a smile but kept his gaze straight ahead, walking to the kitchen without saying a word.Jane hadn't finished her snack last night and was too tired after what happened with him. She didn't have the energy to think about anything.Now that she had rested well, everything seemed a bit confusing to her.It was uncomfortable not finishing the gossip.She hugged him from behind and sweetly said, "Who is this? You’re such a talented man. Oh, you’re my boyfriend."Zachary started the stove and added oil to the pan. Hearing her, he didn't respond at all.Jane, feeling playful, continued, "Come on, come on, the incredibly handsome Zachary, the husband who's endlessly good to his wife, surely he wouldn't let me suffer by not finishing the gossip, right?"Zachary shivered slightly. "Speak properly.""I am speaking properly!" she replied coquettishly.Za

    Jane wasn't fooled."You just want to help Westley."Zachary laughed, placing some meat on her plate. "It's up to you."Ding-dong.The doorbell rang suddenly.With a mouthful of meat, Jane mumbled, "My place is quite lively recently."Zachary stood up to open the door.At the door stood Raymond."Sir...""You didn't answer your phone or respond to the messages. I had no choice but to..."Zachary's expression remained indifferent. "Get to the point."Raymond glanced behind him, lowering his voice to a near whisper. "The investigation team has arrived."Zachary's eyes flickered slightly, but his voice remained as cold as ever. "Got it."He turned back and walked to Jane, bending down to kiss her briefly. "I have to go on a business trip."Jane didn't ask more, with his job, business trips and meetings were normal. During the early stages of a project, it was understandable for him to be busy."How long?""Not sure yet."Zachary picked up his phone and quickly glanced at

    "You can just tell me directly what happened, or rather, what you want to say by coming to see me," said Jane.Madam Collins didn't continue to beat around the bush."Zachary has been taken in for questioning."Jane's fingers curled involuntarily, and a hint of nervousness flashed in her eyes.Madam Collins noticed her small gesture, observing every detail of Jane's reaction."There's no need to pretend to be calm. It's normal for you to feel emotional," she said. "After all, if it weren't for you, Zachary wouldn't have to go through this."Jane couldn't argue with that.Madam Collins continued, "I've known this day would come. Your father's existence is like a ticking time bomb, it was bound to explode sooner or later. I'll say it again. If you truly love Zachary, you should not be a stain on his life. I haven't said this before, but this time I must play the bad cop. Leave Zachary, child. You can name any conditions you want."Jane clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips g

    When Raymond saw Madam Collins coming out of the conference room, his eyes nearly popped out of his head. It dawned on him that Jane had deceived him, but now he couldn't even report it."I raised you all to follow Zachary, not to help him mess things up!"Madam Collins's frustration needed an outlet. At her age, if she didn't vent her anger, it would soon send her to the hospital, unable to move a muscle."Look at the mess Zachary is in today. You'll all bear the responsibility. Come home with me and face the consequences!"Raymond knew he couldn't leave."When Mr. Collins returns, whatever punishment you want to give me is fine, but right now, I can't go. Please, calm down."Madam Collins was so angry that her breathing became erratic. "You've gone too far! Do you know who your master is? If it weren't for the Collins family, you'd have died in the slums long ago!"Raymond didn't deny it. He bowed respectfully and said, "I remember the Collins family's kindness, but Madam Coll

    Raymond was startled. "Mrs. Collins..."Jane raised her hand to stop him from speaking, looking at Rebecca she said slowly, "If you can meet one condition of mine, I will leave the country immediately."Rebecca saw she had softened and her anger subsided a little. "Go on."Jane said, "If you make Zachary break up with me willingly, I will leave him. How about that?"Rebecca realized she had been tricked and immediately raised her hand.Jane sidestepped to avoid it.Rebecca lost control and sprained her waist."Ouch."Eric hurriedly supported her and was about to speak.But Jane had already taken Raymond and left in large strides.His eyes gradually filled with cruelty.Once in the car, Jane asked Raymond, "Zachary left you as the only one beside me?"Raymond started the car and replied, "Of course not. I'm just the one other people sees."Jane breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'm at ease. Otherwise, if you were alone, I'd have to worry. What if the Collins family does some

    "He's also acting unilaterally, keeping things from me, thinking he's doing this for my own good, not wanting me to worry."Charlotte smiled. "Then I won't advise you."Jane was about to say something when her phone rang.In a hurry, she pulled it out and looked at it, but it wasn't Zachary.She answered, sounding exhausted, "Get to the point."Dominic paused for a moment. "I'm not saying this to nag, but don't be too hard on yourself, still need to pay attention to your health, do what you can."Jane laughed and scolded him, "What's your problem?""I've got something, a big thing.""Spit it out."Dominic chuckled. "Your clothes are ready. So, how about it? Come over and take a look? We only got two sets done, and the time is still tight. But it won't affect the next event. I've already checked the time."Jane immediately sat up straight, her voice gaining strength. "I'll come over right now."Then, she suddenly remembered something."Wait, I have something else to do.

    Watching Jane leave, Charlotte closed the door and turned around, only to bump into a man's chest.She looked up and asked him, "Zachary is really fine, right?"Frank wrapped his arms around her and led her inside. "What could happen? It's all within his expectations."Jane returned to her place, still thinking that Zachary was fine, but she still couldn't sleep.The next morning, she went to the shopping center.On the way, she replied to Charlotte's message about preparing to board her flight."Raymond, does Mr. Collins really not have any preferences?"She wanted to buy Zachary a set of clothes.Since they had been together, she had always been the one being taken care of.It seemed like she hadn't done much for him.This investigation wasn't a good thing, but she hoped that when he came out, he could wear something new, and that in the future, he wouldn't be tainted by these bad things because of her.But as she kept looking, she became more and more indecisive.Raymond

    Such a wonderful thing as a proposal happened today.Tonight should at least count as a wedding night, right?The assistant hadn't expected them to argue. He thought Westley might have gone out to buy something to use later."I'll take you to the supermarket.""Head back to the hotel."Westley gave an order in a cold voice, then opened the door and got into the back seat of the car.The assistant was completely confused but still drove toward the hotel.He had never seen a couple argue right after getting engaged.But as an assistant, it wasn't his place to ask questions.Jordan couldn't sleep.By the time she got up, she had two dark circles around her eyes.She was about to put on makeup when she thought about their fight last night.Would their remarriage even happen today?If not, there was no point in dressing up.She hesitated in front of the mirror for a long time before finally putting on makeup to cover the dark circles.But she still didn't look happy.After c

    "You're really not letting me in?"When Westley said this, he stared at her intently, his tone slightly rising at the end. It was obvious that he didn’t mean just entering the house.There was a deeper meaning.Jordan pulled her hand back and kicked him."Get lost, you pervert."Westley glanced at the shoe print on his leg and laughed. "What did I say? Who's the one with a dirty mind here?"Jordan was indeed at a loss for words. She was angry because he had seen right through her.She was frustrated that her emotions were always so easy to read.Especially in front of someone as sharp as Westley—there was nowhere to hide.That made her even angrier."Let me tell you, even if I agreed to your proposal, I can still take it back."As she spoke, she reached for the ring, intending to take it off.Westley caught her hand and pressed her fingerprint against the scanner.When the door opened, Jordan was stunned."Westley!""Yes?" Westley responded, pulling her into the house.

    Jane glanced at the screen and said, "At least Westley has quite high EQ. I'm actually quite satisfied with that."Originally, the two of them had gotten married first, without actually being in a relationship, and even after the marriage, they hadn't managed to develop any feelings.It should have been the other way around. First, dating, then proposal, and finally marriage.Zachary asked her, "Now that you're fully recovered, and Charlotte has also finished making your wedding dress, when are you going to marry me? Or do you want me to propose to you again?"Jane raised her hand to stop his approach, but then used her finger to gently trace his jaw.Her eyes were full of allure.During this time in recovery, she hadn't been able to do anything.Afraid that she wouldn't take care of herself well, he hadn't even asked for her help to satisfy his desires.He had handled everything himself.Now, he couldn't bear it when she looked at him with such a teasing gaze.Zachary grabbe

    He also took her to the highest point and used a telescope to look at the sky."Look at that one, it's your star, it's called Jordy."Jordan looked in the direction he pointed, and indeed, she saw a bright, shining star.By naming the star, it truly belonged to her.This was like picking a star from the sky.And he had also made so many stars for her using diamonds.Perhaps it was the atmosphere, but she took the initiative to hug Westley.Westley stood still and said, "I haven't broken our agreement. What’s the meaning of this?"He knew what she meant.But deep down, he was happy.Jordan let go of him and said, "Tomorrow is the awards ceremony.""Yes." Westley looked at her. "Are you nervous?"Jordan shook her head. "What's there to be nervous about? I've won awards before. I've already won the biggest awards, this time it's just a small one."Westley's gaze darkened. "I'll pick you up tomorrow to do your styling."At that moment, Jordan didn't realize he had a deeper in

    He placed some meat on her plate and asked, "Don't you like being close to me? Or do you still think our relationship isn't suitable for closeness right now?"Jordan couldn't really explain.Westley answered for her, "Do you think the development between us is different from others? So it's awkward?"Jordan thought for a moment, and it seemed like that was the case.Westley continued, "So you still want to go through a process before we get to the point where we can kiss in a romantic relationship?"Jordan fell silent.Westley said, "If you have something to say, just say it. There's nothing we should be embarrassed about between us."Jordan bit her cutlery, and after a few seconds, she said, "Before we remarry, we can maintain a working relationship. We can eat together, do some things together, but we can't have any intimate behavior. Can you accept that?"Westley obviously couldn't accept it.He didn't really understand why she wanted it that way.But he still went along w

    "Otherwise, would you listen to something you don't want to hear?"Jordan didn't want to argue with him. "I'll say this one last time... Mm!"Her lips were sealed, and when Jordan tried to push him away, she kept punching his shoulder.She tilted her head to dodge, but he firmly held her by the back of her head.She opened her mouth to bite him, but he grabbed her face, deepening the kiss.In the quiet office, with only the two of them, the sound of water droplets, which made hearts race and faces flush, could be heard.Jordan, unable to take it anymore, kicked him.But his long legs held her down.She was completely at his mercy, unable to move at all."Um..."It wasn't until the sound of a knock on the door broke the intimate atmosphere."I'm here for the interview... Is this a bad time?"As soon as Westley released her, Jordan immediately pushed him away, wiping her lips forcefully.She stomped on him hard and tried to calm her emotions as she looked toward the door."

    Jordan went to sit on the sofa and casually raised her hand toward him."Go on."Westley looked at her, noticing how she resembled a boss, a look that had some of his own influence in it.He smiled.Jordan shot him a glare. "Be serious.""Alright."Westley sat up straight, looking serious.He began to explain his previous plans to her.Except for parts of the plan that needed to be kept confidential, he didn't hide anything else."The reason I had you stab me was indeed to let you vent your anger, to make up for the harm I've caused you. It was just a coincidence that the higher-ups issued an order at the same time, so I decided to go along with it. Now, the plan has been completed. I can indeed come back to life, but right now, there's nothing I need to do. The Howard family has Leanne, and I've already resigned. I'm just a jobless wanderer now, and no one cares. Whether I'm alive or not doesn't really matter."Jordan felt that those last two sentences were clearly meant to

    But when she reached the bedroom door, ready to go out and check, she thought again, how could he, such a grown man, possibly be putting himself through hardship?With so many people under him, he could just call anyone to bring him clothes.And he could book a comfortable presidential suite for himself.There was no need for her to be concerned about it.Besides, it was her who had locked him out in the first place.Going out now would only make it seem like she cared about him too much.Right.She shouldn't go out.Jordan returned to her bed.But no matter what, she couldn't fall asleep.In the living room, Westley was already lying on the sofa.The heating was turned up high, so he wasn't worried about the cold.He was holding his phone, making some kind of plan.In the end, Jordan didn't even know how she fell asleep.When she woke up groggily, the first thing she did was get up and check on Westley.But she found that he wasn't there anymore.She let out a sigh of

    She now saw herself only as a sister figure to him. Even though they were a bit close, there was still a sense of distance and wariness.It was impossible for her to fully open up to him.But at that moment, suddenly talking about their relationship wasn't really appropriate.Besides, with how things had developed between her and Westley, if he intervened, it would just force them apart.In the end, it would be her who got hurt.‘Forget it.’Nathan decided to just watch how things would unfold.If Westley still didn't realize his mistakes and hurt Jordan again, then no matter what, he couldn't let them be together."Has Jasmine not come back?""Huh?" The topic changed too quickly, and Jordan was a little slow to react. "No.""Nathan, did you take anything from this room?"Nathan's gaze darkened slightly. "No."Noticing that he was in a bad mood, Jordan didn't ask about his situation with Jasmine."Jasmine probably has something she wants to do."Nathan could tell from her
