Chapter 984

Author: Lean
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. How

    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

    Raymond didn't dare to hide anything and truthfully explained the situation.The phone was instantly hung up. With every beep, he felt like a hammer was striking his heart.By the time he reached the northern helipad, Zachary was already there.He was still wearing the clothes from when he had been taken for questioning.But now they were full of creases, clearly messy.It was obvious he had just gotten home, hadn't seen Jane, and upon hearing the report, he immediately rushed over.However, there were no signs of any helicopter having landed nearby."Wasn't it supposed to be the northern side?"Raymond's lips were trembling. "The helicopter's direction was heading north...""Could they have changed direction midway?" Zachary's voice was as cold as ice.It was sharper than winter winds, painfully piercing."I've already sent people to check the other helipads...""It's raining today, and they were in a hurry to leave. They might not have suddenly changed flight paths, it's

    "I said I don’t know. Maybe it was because she knew she wasn't worthy of you, so I left."If this had been before, Zachary would have believed it.But this time, Jane had said she wouldn't leave.Moreover, Raymond had already said that she had been kidnapped.Thud—Zachary knelt in front of his mother, Rebecca.Rebecca was horrified.The members of the Collins family, startled by the commotion in the hospital room, walked to the door and were equally shocked.Zachary bowed his head to Rebecca."I will never forget your kindness in raising me, and the Collins family's nurturing of me. What I did to you just now was wrong. I'm sorry, Mom."As he spoke, he bowed a few more times."You're both getting old, and worrying too much can cause illness. It would be better to find a comfortable and pleasant place to rest properly."Noticing what Zachary was about to do, Madam Collins quickly spoke up, "Don't be impulsive. Let's talk calmly. We really didn't harm Jane. And we've already

    Rebecca touched her own neck.Zachary hadn't applied much force, but she felt that just a light squeeze from him in this area made her feel unbearably uncomfortable."The son I painstakingly gave birth to, for the sake of another woman, actually wants to strangle me, his own mother."Madam Collins was fiddling with her bracelet. "If you hadn't been involved in Jane's kidnapping, he wouldn't have laid a hand on you. Thinking back now, Zachary, apart from insisting on Jane, has been doing everything according to our requests. He hasn't started acting arbitrarily just because he gained power. He hasn't been reckless. I regret that I went to talk to Jane yesterday."Rebecca couldn't believe it. "Mom, what are you saying! You can't turn against us. You can't accept Zachary marrying Jane. This hasn't happened yet, but if they get married, everyone will know that Jane is the wife of the head of the Collins family. That will bring Zachary a lot of trouble. She doesn't have the ability to p

    That place might not have much of an impact on Zachary.But for a woman, it was truly hell.But right now, there was no point in thinking about it. She spoke, "Since you want to use me to lure Zachary here, you can't just let me freeze to death. I'm soaked through. Give me a coat."Luthor threw her a coat.It wasn't to keep her alive to lure Zachary, since even if she died, Zachary would still find her remains.Keeping her alive was just to give Zachary a surprise.To make Zachary watch his beloved suffer, yet unable to do anything.That would surely be very interesting.When Zachary found out that Luthor hadn't taken the helicopter, he punched through the car window in anger.So much time had passed, from dawn until dusk.Now, it was too late to intercept Luthor.Raymond knelt in front of Zachary.It was his negligence. He hadn't seen through such a simple scheme.Zachary didn't even look at him.Now, they could only follow the trail deliberately left by Luthor.They tr

    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

    The girl asked one question. If she became Zachary's sister and married Caleb, could she finally achieve her dreams without anyone standing in her way?Frank nodded in response.He didn't say much more, and Whitney agreed. Changing her surname didn't matter.As long as she never had to return to the countryside, as long as she could escape those bloodsuckers.As long as, when she finally shone in her career, she wouldn't have to face those people who made advances because of her appearance, or those who used power to suppress her.But what she didn't expect was that after Caleb said those words, her face flushed.Had she finally woken up?This scene was quite entertaining.Caleb was a well-known playboy in Yelar.Even though everyone knew his flirtations were brief and didn't lead anywhere, all the daughters of affluent families and distinguished women in Yelar wanted a taste of being involved with him.Even those not up to the mark tried everything to win his favor.Those f

    Expanding the Collins family's business would also be beneficial.If Zachary hadn't gotten married, marrying a girl from the Jackson family wouldn't have been out of the question.Thinking of this, Rebecca became even angrier."Among all these women who could help him, he chose one who can't offer him anything!"Eric quickly tried to calm her down."Enough, he hasn't affected the Collins family in any way. Why can't you tolerate a simple daughter-in-law? Besides, they even gave us a grandson."Mentioning the grandson made Rebecca even more furious, her eyes were burning with anger."They won't even let me see my grandson, insisting that I wait until after the wedding. I might as well not have given birth to him."Eric sighed."Are you sure about that?"Eric thought Zachary had done well in every aspect.Even if he had married Jane, it hadn't affected the Collins family.He had such an outstanding son and now a lovely grandson.In the future, he would nurture the grandson,

    Jane's question made Jordan feel her face burn even more. It felt like it was about to catch fire.She stammered, "It was just hot in the room earlier, and, uh, I got excited... you know, sending my sister off to her wedding."Jane didn't believe her. The look on her face clearly showed shyness.Earlier, when she saw her talking closely with Westley, it was obvious they hadn't been saying anything nice.Jordan also felt that Westley, in her impression, had always been dignified, mature, and steady. Even when he was younger and treated her well, he knew his boundaries.But now, his mouth was full of flirtatious words. It was like the person he was before was a completely different personality.The procession of cars made its way through the streets, finally arriving at the largest hotel in Jeswood. Today, this hotel was exclusively hosting Zachary's wedding.Several floors were filled with guests. Even a large number of reporters had arrived.Originally, the love story between Z

    Zachary's eyes gleamed with a smile. "At least you still have a bit of conscience."Jordan changed the subject. "How about this? Call me Aunt Jordan three times and I’ll admit you’re very sincere about marrying my sister."Frank, who had secretly returned, leaned against the doorframe and laughed without mercy.He received a cold glare from Zachary.Frank mentally prepared himself and cleared his throat."Aunt..."Westley couldn't help but laugh as well.Jordan turned and gave him a light slap.She looked back at Zachary and smiled. "Zachary, it's fine, I won't make things hard for you. Just go ahead and see if my sister will go with you."Zachary tried but Jane refused to leave with him.She said that she had hid her shoes in the room and would only leave if he found them.Zachary looked everywhere in the room but only found one of them.He guessed where the other one might be, but he didn't dare to let his gaze fall there, not wanting Frank and Westley to see it.Frank,

    Frank pushed Westley into the room."You and your wife can remarry, but Zachary has secretly helped a lot, so I think you definitely can't just watch your friend fight alone, right?"Westley ignored him, pulled out a chair beside Jordan, and sat down."Sorry, I'm part of the bride's family.""You grew up wearing the same pants as Zachary. How can you just watch him fight alone?"Jane spoke up, stopping Frank from saying more."You two come have some cookies."She gave Charlotte a meaningful look, who handed a Pocky stick to Frank.Frank cocked his brows. "Honey, you're putting me in a tough spot. What if I kiss him? Wouldn't you think I've dirtied myself?"Zachary retorted coldly, "Don’t you think I feel the same?""Don't waste time," said Charlotte.Frank made a clicking sound with his tongue and held the Pocky stick between his long fingers, not moving for a long time.Zachary reached over, grabbed the Pocky, and bit it, saying vaguely, "Hurry up, don't waste time."Fran

    Leanne was also coming to the wedding, and with Buck and the others accompanying her, they could easily match up.But when he landed with Jordan in his arms, no one stopped him.Buck stepped forward to report the situation."Mr. Collins guessed your plans. This is his wedding gift to you. He wants you to remember, be careful during your wedding."Westley smiled and held Jordan as they got into the car and headed to Jane's house.When Jane saw Jordan, she was quite surprised. "Didn't you say you wouldn't make it?"Jordan was still groggy from sleep. "It's all Westley's fault."Jane didn't ask further. "Hurry and change and get your makeup done."Jordan went to wash her face, feeling a bit more awake, and let the makeup artist work on her face.Westley didn't act as the best man, so he stayed here, but not inside the room—he was standing at the front door.When Zachary came up, he was the first person to see him.Frank teased, "Mr. Howard is now part of the bride's family?"W

    Jordan clicked her tongue several times and patted his shoulder. "You're really sneaky."Westley wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms. "I'd prefer to hear something sweet from your.""Like?""Like, 'honey'."Jordan realized what he was about to do and quickly tried to run away."Don't even think about it. You tricked me into coming out of town for your friend. I'm going to punish you by not satisfying your desires for a month."Westley didn't take it seriously and effortlessly pulled her back."Weren't you just worried I wouldn't be able to perform? Now that you're fine, aren't you going to try it for yourself to clear your doubts?"Jordan scolded him, "You really can't change, can you? You promised you wouldn't trick me, and now you're starting again."Westley retorted, "How have I tricked you?"Jordan couldn't find a reply and just decided to act spoiled.Westley put on a serious expression and analyzed the situation. "Let me ask you this. Didn't y

    She realized something was wrong as she spoke. "Are you doing this on purpose? You're helping your friend."She quickly called Charlotte to ask if she had any plans on the day of the wedding.Charlotte said she didn't, asking what was going on.Jordan thought for a moment and then told Charlotte the truth. "I think he's doing this on purpose. Does he think that, as Jane’s younger sister, I'll be the one who's more difficult to deal with, while you, as his best friend, would be easier?"Charlotte chuckled. "How did you know that, with me, Zachary would have it easy?"However, there was one thing—during her own wedding, Zachary had indeed helped Frank.At the time, Jane had blocked the door, and it was Zachary who had gotten her out.Frank had easily taken her away.Although Frank liked to watch the show, when it came to his friends, he wouldn't hesitate to act.When she had gotten married, there hadn't been so many bridesmaids.Jane was different—Jordan was her biological sist

    Westley was indeed struggling.But since he was the one who made a mistake, he felt he should bear the consequences.Jordan, however, wasn't thinking about it that way.Although Westley was holding back, showing some reaction yet not too much.Jordan felt that Westley didn’t look too good.Could it be...This wasn't an easy topic to bring up. She hesitated for a long time but still didn't say anything.Westley watched her face go through a series of expressions and could pretty much guess what she was thinking.He flicked her forehead."Stop overthinking. There's nothing wrong with me—I'm perfectly healthy. Alright, now that you're better, just rest for a few more days, and I'll prove it to you."Jordan immediately pulled the blanket over herself. "Get lost."Westley patted her lightly through the blanket. "The guest bedroom is really cold.""The bed also feels hard, not as comfortable as the master bedroom."Jordan poked her head out of the covers. "But weren't you the on
