Chapter 986

Author: Lean
"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

    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

    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

    "I laugh when I get emotional, that's all—no other reason. If I've offended anyone, I'll punish myself with three more glasses of wine."No one really believed Caleb was genuinely moved.It was obvious that under the surface of his smile, there was a trace of mockery.But no one said anything.After all, it wasn't their family's business—there was no need for him to empathize with them.Besides, Caleb really wasn't close to them. It was his first time sharing a meal at the same table.And with his status, even if he was Zachary's brother-in-law, Zachary wouldn't embarrass him publicly.Given the occasion, there was no reason to stir up conflict.Whitney furrowed her brows but still spoke up to offer an apology on Caleb's behalf.Jane quickly said, "We're family, there's no need to be so formal. Caleb was just moved—I understand."Whitney still wanted to say something, but suddenly a large, warm hand rested on her thigh.It moved back and forth slowly, radiating heat.She tu

    So at that moment, Westley and Zachary shared a tacit understanding and aligned explanation."We didn't look into it. This matter was a private family issue, and given the situation at the time, it wasn't convenient for us to investigate."Those words, coming from Westley, sounded quite believable.After all, his relationship with Jordan had been very tense at the time.But for Zachary, that excuse wasn't really necessary.Jane looked at him without saying anything.Zachary held her hand and said, "We did get our marriage certificate back then, but I really didn't look into this matter. If you don't believe me, ask Nathan. If I had looked into it, there's no way he wouldn't have noticed."Nathan also felt guilty—revitalizing the Jackson family was his way of making up for the wrongs his father had committed.Later, his unwavering kindness toward them also stemmed from guilt, knowing they had suffered because of his father.Now, of course, he didn't want a joyful day like the w

    Back then, the Jackson family's power and status were highly sought after.Initially, when the eldest daughter of the Jackson family married the eldest son of the Westford family, it was considered a perfect match by everyone—a well-matched marriage of equal social standing.The Westford family's business was booming back then.But later, it was the Westford family that resorted to unscrupulous methods for the sake of business."At that time, my uncle was kidnapped shortly after birth and grew up in an ordinary family. He was very pure and kind, not understanding the scheming and deceit of the business world. The Westford family intended to train him, but when it became clear he wasn't up to it, they gave up. But then he fell in love with your mother, and the Westford family thought there was still something to gain from it. As for grandpa, he didn't care about family background, he only looked at character and sincerity. My uncle was highly favored by him, and his relationship wit

    Westley chuckled.Frank couldn't be bothered to make it complicated. He drank seven sips, and everyone else followed with a sip.Zachary did the same as Frank.However, he paused slightly when it came to Westley, offering them his blessings."Congratulations. And I hope you two will continue to be happy in the future."At that point, Westley couldn't just take a sip anymore.He downed the drink in one go."We've received your promise, my dear brother-in-law."Westley was rendered speechless.Caleb had been watching the show for a long time.Finally, it was his turn."Everyone, how much do you think I, a first-time guest, should drink?"Of course, the answer was to drink more.They all thought the same thing, though their expressions were different.But none of them spoke the truth aloud.Today was a special day for Jane and Zachary, and they were the ones in charge.It should have been them who spoke first.Zachary said, "This is my brother-in-law's first time in Jeswo

    At noon, only Whitney admitted that Jane was her sister-in-law. Jane even gave her a little gift.As for Caleb, neither Jane or Zachary cared if he admitted it or not.They thought Whitney had married Caleb for the sake of business.But just now, the two of them were so intimate, unable to part with each other, and even had a visible kiss mark that couldn't be hidden by a turtleneck.Given this relationship, wasn't it reasonable for Caleb to admit that they were his brother-in-law and sister-in-law?However, Caleb didn't really know them well, and they didn't know his personality either. Naturally, he couldn't just say that he recognized them as his in-laws.As for Westley, everyone knew him well.Besides, Westley had married Jane's younger sister, so he should be recognizing them as well."That’s unnecessary, Mr. Hilton," said Zachary. "Jordan is Jane's sister, both of them are from the Jackson family, though they've been separated for years due to some unfortunate circumstanc

    "Since Mr. Hilton spoils his wife so much, how about you drink this wine for Whitney instead?"Caleb curved his lips into a smile, picked up his glass, and said, "You’re not going to double the amount if I drink for her, right, Mrs. Smith?"Before Charlotte could speak, Frank intervened.He placed one hand on Charlotte's shoulder, gently swirled his wine glass with the other, his posture relaxed and casual."Since Mr. Hilton is so interested, how can I not satisfy your requests on my turf?"He even brought Zachary into it. "Today is your big day, it's your stage, so set an example by taking the first round."Zachary glanced at him indifferently. He was pretending to be drunk today, but Frank hadn’t gone easy on him.He had originally planned to use water for his drinks, but Frank had switched it back to real alcohol.Now, he was starting trouble again."Oh!" Frank suddenly seemed to remember something. "I forgot, Mr. Collins drank a lot at lunch. I guess the alcohol in his sto

    No one had called for dinner yet.She knew that Zachary and Jane were getting married today, so they might be staying in the room for a while.Caleb and Whitney were the ones they thought would be spending time together.So, she first knocked on Charlotte's room.She figured that they wouldn't necessarily want to spend time together right now.But she was wrong.No one answered Charlotte's door.However, Jane sent her a message saying she would get up soon.Then Charlotte also spoke up in their group chat.That was when she came to call Whitney.She guessed that the two should have finished their intimate act by now...Whitney, ignoring the discomfort in her body, used both hands and feet to escape from Caleb's embrace.She first responded to Jordan at the door and then rushed into the bathroom.Caleb came in shortly after.When his bare back pressed against her, Whitney was startled. "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"Caleb held her and chuckled. "Honey, have you eve

    Westley patted her on the head. "You're asking me about this because you want to help Mandy, or..."Mandy and Jordan hadn't been in touch much over the past few years, but before university, they had a pretty good relationship.When Mandy ran into trouble and went to the north, Jordan was furious.It took him several days to calm her down.But then, unexpectedly, his relationship with her had also fallen apart.Looking back now, he wondered if it was because Carter always treated him and maintained his health, but in doing so, perhaps he had also pushed the love out of his own life.Jordan shook her head. "I won’t interfere with other people’s relationships. I'm just asking out of curiosity."Westley didn't expect that but still told her about the situation."Caleb did indeed relent. He will give Carter a chance to meet with Mandy. And this was something, Zachary, Frank, and I, were all aware of but haven't spoken about it openly. Zachary is pretending to be drunk."Jordan had

    Caleb and Zachary had a drink and then left with Whitney.Carter didn't even have time to drink with Zachary and hurriedly followed them.At that moment, Zachary's and the others were here to watch the show.But they didn't expect, when they turned the corner, to see Caleb pinning Whitney against the wall, kissing her.The man's brows and eyes were full of flirtatious charm, and he blocked Whitney's profile, glancing over.He asked, "What's wrong? Haven't you seen a married couple kiss?"There was no sign of Carter anywhere.They didn't want to interrupt the couple's private moment, so Westley and Frank escorted Zachary to his room, then went back to their own rooms with their wives.Jane pretended to wipe Zachary's face and was about to leave.But Zachary grabbed her and pulled her into the bed."Mr. Collins, you're getting more and more skilled at pretending to be drunk."Zachary opened his eyes and kissed her forehead.His hoarse voice carried a hint of weakness."Honey
