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

    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
