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

"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 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

    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

    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

    Jane's eyes turned sly."How are you different?"As she spoke, her hand slid downward, teasing, "Let me take a look."Zachary pressed down on her hand and grunted.But there was a smile in his eyes.He tilted his head and leaned toward her ear, his voice husky. "Let me help you... take a good look."It was at that moment that Westley's call came through.At first, Zachary didn't want to answer.He thought Westley should already have a clear understanding of things.But today, for some reason, the calls kept coming, one after another.Jane pushed him. "Answer the phone first, there must be something urgent."She flipped over and pulled the blanket over herself.Zachary cursed under his breath, suppressed his anger, and went to the balcony to take the call in the cold air."You'd better have an emergency."Westley's voice was hoarse, and his speech was fragmented, completely different from his usual meticulous and logical manner.Zachary listened for a while before piecing

    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

    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

    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

    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
