Chapter 148

Author: Lean
"Gary?"

Ryan's voice turned terrifyingly cold. "What are you standing there for? Take her to the hospital!"

Jessica was having a mental breakdown. Before she could say anything, Gary carried her straight into the elevator!

He made sure all the way, not to let any blood drip on the ground.

I watched them leave, feeling like I could burn a hole through their backs. My chest continued to heave violently.

"Charlotte, let's wash our hands first, okay?"

Ryan seemed afraid to provoke me further, his tone gentle as if coaxing a child.

I looked at him and asked hesitantly, "Aren't you angry at me for hitting her?"

This wasn't Ryan's usual style.

He should have defended Jessica unequivocally, standing opposed to me. That would have been right.

He sighed, took my hand, led me to the restroom, turned on the faucet, checked the water temperature, then positioned me under the faucet, applied hand soap, and carefully washed my hands.

"Doesn't your hand hurt after hitting her like that?"

    Ryan seemed helpless, looking at me as he explained gently, "She also lost her child at that time. Even if it goes to court, it won't achieve the result you want.""Oh..." I nodded absentmindedly, feeling like I had been completely drained. "So, my child died in vain, is that it?"Perhaps afraid that I would get agitated, he hurriedly reassured, "No, there are still many ways...""What ways?" I smirked. "Sending her abroad, any country I choose?""Okay." He breathed a sigh of relief, nodding without much thought.I looked at his flawless features and smiled, "Then send her to Southeast Astia, like Manya, Vetal, Laost... Oh, you can send her there, but you’re not allowed to give her any living expenses.""Charlotte...""Is it not possible?" I saw the trace of disbelief flash across his handsome face, but I insisted on it.I insisted that Jessica pay that little price.He frowned. "It's chaotic there. She..."Before he could finish his sentence, his phone in his pocket rang. He

    The moment I asked this question, my heart skipped a beat again. Because I had always believed that Grandpa's death was related to Jessica, but there had been no evidence.Fortunately, Albert immediately replied, "Yes, although the fingerprint was small, after comparison, it is indeed hers.""So it really was her..."Upon receiving this answer, I felt no joy, only more sorrow for Grandpa. If... if Grandpa hadn't met Jessica that day, would he still be waving kindly to me now, calling me ‘Charlotte’?Albert was also furious. "Although the Mr. William never fully accepted her, he never mistreated her either. Yet she actually resorted to such methods.""Yeah." I pondered over it, "Albert, there's one thing I still can't figure out. When Grandpa hit Ryan that day, he didn't get so angry as to fall ill. What did she say to Grandpa to make him so furious?"First she angered Grandpa, causing him to fall ill, then she prevented him from taking his life-saving medication.It was exactly

    I couldn't help but smirk. "Haven't had the chance yet..."A black business car turned around the corner. Out of habit, I started to step back, but they suddenly accelerated, stopping right next to me!Whoosh!The tyres screeched against the ground.I furrowed my brows. Just as I instinctively tried to avoid them, a young man wearing a cap pushed open the door and stepped out. In two large strides, he came up to me, swiftly covering my mouth and nose!"What are you trying to do..."It all happened in a split second. I didn't finish my sentence. I had no time to resist, let alone escape.The smell of ether was strong. In just seconds, I passed out. Even my earphones fell to the ground under their rough handling.When I woke up again, my head was muddled, limbs weak, unable to even lift my arms.I could only half-open my eyes, surveying the surroundings.I was still in that black MPV, tossed in the corner of the last row, hands and feet bound, forehead against the window. It wa

    We were already getting a divorce. I didn’t want to owe Ryan any favors!Moreover, this debt belonged to Bob. There was no way I would pay for such a person."Of course, I know exactly who he is and what his status is."The person with the hoarse voice pursed his lips, pressed the dial button, and turned on the loudspeaker. "We don't want to offend him either. If you really have nothing to do with him anymore, I'm not stupid enough to create trouble for myself."Listening to the beeping sound from the phone, my began to race.Should I ask him to save me, or should I distance myself?Those two thoughts battled in my mind, but the moment the call connected, Ryan gave me the answer.The voice that first came through was Jessica's."Who's calling? Why are you calling so late..."My nails dug deep into my palms. It hurt. "It's me, Charlotte. Where's Ryan?"He said he was just going to sign some documents.Now, somehow, his phone ended up in Jessica's hands.Jessica hesitated for

    The person with a hoarse voice kicked Bob, then lifted a bottle to his temple. "You damn idiot, are you trying to deceive Harry? Mrs. Frost? Bullshit! Mr. Frost is out buying tampons for his new lover, and you think he'd still be willing to pay off debts for an ex-wife's uncle?"Bob was caught off guard, falling awkwardly to the ground, then scrambling to the front of the leader. "Harry, Harry! I swear I wouldn't dare deceive you. She really is Mrs. Frost. When you guys went to the hospital that day, didn't you see my wife in the VIP ward? If Ryan didn't care about her, could my wife stay in the VIP ward at St. Heart Hospital?"I glared fiercely at him. "Bob! You're ungrateful. If it weren't for my aunt, would I have gone to beg Ryan for that ward? And now you're using this against me?!"Ignoring my words, Bob clung to Harry's thigh. "Harry, besides, Ryan would still at least leave her with something. Even if she divorces Ryan, do you think Ryan won't give her any money? This 2 mill

    Harry couldn't hold back his anger and slapped the person with the hoarse voice as he shouted, "Damn it, sooner or later you'll bury me! How can this be an ex-wife? She’s so much more!""Harry..."The person with the hoarse voice pointed to the foot still pressing on my face. "Could you please take your foot off first?"Only then did he glance down, startled, swiftly withdrawing his foot. At that moment, the rolling shutter suddenly lifted completely!Initially, I thought it might be someone sent by Albert to deliver something to me and seeing me tied up, he sent someone to rescue me.But now, when I raised my head, I saw Ryan's grim and cold face.Wasn't he supposed to be buying tampons for Jessica just now? How did he manage to rush over here?From here to St. Heart Hospital was at least an hour's drive."Mr... Mr. Frost!" Harry, who had just been arrogant, suddenly became deferential. "Your reputation proceeds you!"Ryan's face was icy cold, his voice chilling. "Is this you

    "Really?" he asked.I was furious enough. "Really, hurry up!"Bob was so happy that he hurriedly helped me untie the twine with his hands and feet.However, the moment I regained my freedom, a person rudely grabbed my arm from behind, and before I could even begin to resist, something cold was pressed against my temple.Experience from watching a lot of war movies told me that it was the muzzle of a gun.My body froze, not daring to move, and I allowed him to pull me up."Mr. Frost! If you make another move, I'll have no choice but to be shoot Mrs. Frost."As soon as the person behind me opened his mouth, I could hear that it was the person with the hoarse voice.At that moment, most of their people had already fallen, and it was obvious that Ryan and his men had the upper hand.Ryan stopped moving and smiled coldly. "You shouldn't be stupid, as long as she suffered any injury, you all won't be able to walk out of this place."The person with the hoarse voice hesitated for a

    "Give me the land on the west side of the city, Mr. Frost." The bald man spoke lightly, "Kidnapping Mrs. Frost was his mistake. I’ll handle the rest for you and I promise to give you a satisfied answer, Mr. Frost."Ryan smirked, his voice cold and harsh. "Deal.""Mr. Frost, Mr. Frost..."It was only now that Harry realized the people who had arrived were not here to help him, but to gain favor with Ryan using his situation.He rushed out in a panic, grabbing Ryan's thigh, begging for mercy. "Mr. Frost, please spare me!""Gary." Ryan's voice was cold.Gary kicked Harry away. "You should have thought twice before you kidnapped Mrs. Frost. It's too late to beg now!"Harry, undeterred, crawled over again, holding onto my feet. "Mrs. Frost, Mrs. Frost, I was a fool! Can you forgive me?"My hand was still covering Ryan's wound. Thinking it was he who fired the gun, I became even angrier. "Get lost!"The next moment, Gary kicked him away again and helped us into the car.Gary drove

    Later, he didn’t know why Westley was so determined to be with Jordan.Even now, he still didn’t understand.He had long known that Jordan’s mother’s heirloom would be auctioned, and he had put in a great deal of effort to prepare for it in advance.Before Nathan appeared, they had already known about Jordan’s background.Knowing that she and Jane were biological sisters, they began investigating.Zachary intervened to mislead the information, trying to prevent them from finding out.They simply went along with it, pretending they couldn't find anything.Westley’s attitude toward Nathan was the same—he knew he had made a mistake, and even being polite wouldn’t help anymore.This time, because of the heirloom, he had offended the entire country.The heirloom had never been put up for auction before, great effort had been made to orchestrate things so Jordan would receive them.Back then, Leanne had been waiting at the door every day for Westley, trying to solve the obstacles s

    It was always going to come to this, there had to be a resolution.If Westley didn't keep his word this time and unilaterally tore up the agreement, she would have to take other measures."Can I give my sister a video call?"As soon as she asked, Roy’s phone vibrated.He handed it to Jordan.Jordan took it and pressed the answer button.Jane's face appeared on the screen."Jane.""What's wrong? Did something happen to you?"Jane moved closer to the screen. "Why are your eyes so red?"Jordan was worked up and shocked.She cried very easily."I just went to the auction..." She explained everything again. "I wasn't hurt in any way. It’s just about that estate..."Jane asked her, "So, you think he never hurt you before?"Jordan used to think Westley had stepped over the line before, but after this period of time, she felt that Westley hadn’t actually done anything wrong.He didn’t love her, and he was forced to marry her—why would he show her any kindness?If he had been ni

    She didn’t dare to move.It was Westley who came over, holding her hand and signing at the bottom of the document."No, no, no!"Jordan quickly shook off Westley’s hand, repeatedly refusing."I don’t want it!"Westley chuckled. "Don’t you like money?""You can stay in this estate if you want, or you can sell it. If you sell it, it should be 20 billion dollars."Jordan’s hand that was holding the pen trembled.Her eyes widened, and she could hardly believe what she had just heard."You, you, you..."Westley forcefully held her hand and signed her name.Buck wisely left the room."What else do you want?"Jordan couldn’t say a word, her whole body frozen in the action of signing.Westley sighed softly and reached out to pat her head."Forget it, no need to say anything."Jordan bit her lip, unable to find her voice.She actually wanted to say that she didn’t need anything else.After all, the estate was enough for her to spend for several lifetimes.But for some reason,

    Rhianna blinked her beautiful purple eyes and said coquettishly, "Yes, Westley, are you going to increase the bid? If you don't, the jewelry Mrs. Howard wants will belong to me. But it’s a fair competition, don’t get mad, okay?"Westley curved his lips, a strong and obvious hint of sarcasm in his expression."I could give it to you..."Jordan suddenly looked up, almost thinking she had misheard.But then she realized, Westley was someone with a deep sense of revenge.It was likely that he wasn’t increasing the bid out of desire, but to set a trap for Rhianna.Sure enough, the next words she heard were his cold, indifferent tone."400 million and 200 thousand. It’s not that I look down on you. It is possible for you to come up with 200 thousand dollars, but where are you going to get the 400 million from? Will you sell your family’s castle, or pull all the investments out of your business?"Rhianna wasn’t foolish. She sensed something was wrong and tried to get Westley to raise

    "I don't like it." Jordan threw the paddle she was holding at him and stood up, intending to leave.Out of sight, out of mind.Westley grabbed her arm. "This is your mother's heirloom. You really don't want it?""What?"Jordan's head was about to explode. There had been too many shocks tonight.She still didn’t even know who her mother was.And yet, Westley knew that this was her mother’s heirloom?"Stop making things up. I don’t like this..."Westley still didn’t plan to reveal her true identity.Nathan was intentionally playing this hidden identity game.He was playing along.Besides, whether Jordan was from the Jackson family or not didn’t matter to him.As long as she was his, that was all that mattered."You’ll regret not bidding. Really, are you sure you don’t want it?" he said with a cryptic tone, guiding her subtly.He had already said that Jordan could bid on anything she liked.Yet here she was, hesitating.Jordan stared at the pear blossom jewelry on the stag

    Her hand, resting on her lap, slowly clenched into a fist.Westley admired the change in her expression, silently smirking.Rhianna watched the whole scene and asked Westley in a foreign language, "Why does it feel like your wife doesn’t want to talk to you? Westley, did you intentionally arrange someone to act with you to reject me?"Westley answered indifferently, "If it were acting, wouldn’t the person I arranged cooperate with me? I made her unhappy before we came here, so it's normal for her to give me the cold shoulder. I brought her here to apologize and make her happy."Jordan couldn’t understand what they were saying and didn’t care. She was looking at the auction booklet.She was drawn to a set of pear blossom jewelry displayed in the catalog.She didn’t know why, but it felt as if there was some kind of connection.If the set wasn’t too expensive, she might try to bid on it.Her entire fortune should be enough, right?Westley’s gaze shifted over and saw her thumb ge

    "I want to explain."Westley embraced her, lowering his head to whisper, as though they were deeply in love."I won’t repeat the same mistakes again as before, and I won’t make the same mistake multiple times."Jordan shrank her neck, trying to avoid him.His warm breath brushed against her ear, it was ticklish.But she couldn’t break free from him, so she could only try to move away as much as possible."Let go of me first."Westley lowered his head and kissed her ear."Since you’re here, let’s finish what we started."Jordan was unwilling. "You handle your own problems, don’t drag me into your competition with other women."Westley stared at her for a moment, not loosening his arm but pulling her closer."She already holds a grudge against you. It’s safer for you to stay by my side. Oh, by the way, just so you know, she’s a princess."Jordan slapped the cream cake in her hand right onto his face.She couldn’t hide her emotions, anger clearly written on her face.She wan

    Jordan finally finished planting all the saplings and now all she had to do was wait for them to bloom.But she probably wouldn’t be able to see the flowers. She hoped the pear trees would grow wildly here."Mrs. Howard." Buck brought her a dress. "Mr. Howard said that there is a party tonight and would like to request your company."Jordan refused without hesitation.Buck added, "There’s also an auction, with many fun and interesting items. Don’t you want to buy gifts for your sister and little nephew?"Mentioning her sister and nephew made Jordan waver.Jane liked interesting things, and Jordan couldn’t easily go out on her own to gather them.And now, she had the opportunity.But she didn’t want to attend the event with Westley."Mrs. Howard, if I were you, I would go."Jordan ignored him. He was on Westley’s side.Buck’s mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "When Mr. Howard broke your heart, you should have asked for more money from him, to get revenge and s

    Carter had hit a wall at every turn.He had also been poked at his sore spot, and his long-established cold and distant persona was on the verge of crumbling."Forget about Zachary and the others, after all, they’re not very close. But how long have I known you? You won't help? I even helped you persuade Jordan."Westley didn’t fall for it. "As for you and Mandy, no one can help. I can’t bring her to Nelana now. You can try convincing Zachary, maybe there’s still a chance."Wasn’t that just stating the obvious?Carter said, "If I could get Zachary's help, would I be telling you all this?"Westley replied, "That’s your problem. Who told you to force her? Back then, she was just a young girl, barely an adult. It’s normal for her to be afraid of you and find you disgusting."A flash of sadness appeared in Carter's eyes."I was just too angry back then. It wasn’t intentional...""I’ve said that too." Westley put down the binoculars. "You saw my outcome. Obviously, it was useless."
