Chapter 480

Author: Lean
After Alana said this, the man tightened his grip even more.

The heat from his palm burned her wrist.

It was excruciatingly hot.

Alex was already dressed in a suit, his gray-striped outfit looking calm and formal, completely devoid of the lust from the bed. He said seriously, "Alana, taking emergency contraceptives will disrupt your hormones and harm your body."

Alana found this amusing. "Having an abortion is even worse for your body. Don't you know that?"

"Then just have the baby." Alana looked at him. "Alex, don't tell me you actually think you're responsible? We're divorced, and now you want me to have a child for you?"

"Sure, trade it for 30% of the Jackson family shares!"

She knew that Alex held 60% of the Jackson family's shares.

Having a child would mean taking away half of his shares.

It was a very high price to ask, but Alana was unflinching and justified in her demand.

Alex frowned slightly. "Alana, I can offer you real estate equivalent to the value of those share

    "That's it?" asked Alana."That's it," replied Alex.Alex looked at her. "What about your young boyfriend?"Alana had a young mixed-race boyfriend in her social circle. He was different from the person she had been seeing just half a month ago."If you don't leave, how’s going to show up?" said Alana.Alex asked calmly, "Where did you find this actor?"Alana was puzzled. "Actor?""Not an actor? Are you really changing boyfriends every two weeks? Alana, you don't do that."Knock knock—A lively young man opened the door from outside. Seeing the situation inside, he hesitated, knocked on the door, looked at Alana with a flirtatious smile, and said in fluent Engrian, "Alana, are we playing a game that involves three people today?"Alex's face darkened!The speed of his mood change was comparable to the weather.Alana glanced at Alex. "What do you think, Mr. Jackson?""Stop fooling around!" Alex's expression darkened further as he directly opened her suitcase and stuffed cloth

    "You wouldn't understand even if I told you.""Try me.""Chasing after the one you love." Alana gave him a sidelong glance and muttered quietly, "You've never truly liked anyone, so how could you understand?"Alex's expression suddenly darkened, and he seemed momentarily lost in thought. "Who told you I've never loved anyone?""Who?" Alana smiled, her tone flirtatious and teasing. "Me?"That day, I got up holding the drowsy Danny and took him into the bathroom to brush his teeth.Julie was already in the kitchen making breakfast, and the sweet aroma of oat porridge filled the air."Charlotte!"Jane suddenly burst out of the guest room, frantically searching for me with her phone in hand. She stood at the bathroom door, jumping up and down with excitement. "We're famous again, completely famous!"I looked at her dark circles from a hangover and handed the toothpaste-squeezed toothbrush to Danny. "What?""The Charlotte Jewelry!" Jane handed me her phone. "Look! Last night, Yasm

    On the other end of the line, Yasmin's voice was warm with a hint of a smile. "Charlotte, thank you so much. The dress you designed was fantastic. As soon as the awards ceremony ended last night, a top luxury brand contacted Joanne to sign her as their global ambassador."Hearing this, I was even more delighted. "Really? That's wonderful!"For celebrities, especially someone at Yasmin's level, there was no need to take on ordinary endorsements. They should go for top luxury brands. However, it was rare for Cherian celebrities to be chosen by such brands, so even being an ambassador is something to boast about among fans. Let alone being a global ambassador.Though for Yasmin, this might just be an extra bit of good fortune rather than a significant achievement."It's true." Yasmin smiled slightly, her tone easing. She asked, "Once the contract is successfully signed, there will be a celebration party. May I invite you to attend?"For some reason, I detected a hint of caution in he

    The relationship between Charlotte and her seems pretty much settled...Of course, we would still go through the formalities, conduct the paternity test, and confirm the blood relationship thoroughly.During breakfast, Jane suddenly suggested that we consider opening a branch office in Jeswood. She had mentioned this to me before, but there hadn't been a pressing need for it. Jelaston was sufficient for the operations of the Charlotte Jewelry, so I thought it might be better to wait."Now that both the Charlotte Jewelry and you are completely popular, the company's scale is definitely insufficient."Jane, while sipping her porridge, analyzed clearly, "Our first offline store is in Jeswood. Once you return to the Shaw family, your focus will definitely be here. So, opening a branch office in Jeswood would be highly beneficial for both you and the Charlotte Jewelry."Without hesitation, I agreed, "I know."Yasmin had given us a boost. The financial data received earlier showed that

    Perhaps it was because life had been unusually smooth recently.When he mentioned Ryan, I was momentarily dazed, feeling as if it were a distant memory. These days, the Charlotte who was mired in pain and struggle seemed like a different person.Frank pinched my cheek. "What are you daydreaming about?""Nothing." I shook my head, unable to pinpoint my exact feelings, and followed his lead, asking, "What does this matter have anything to do with Ryan?"I was somewhat aware of Ryan's influence spreading into Jeswood. His help to Frank was beyond my expectations, but it seemed somewhat anticipated.He had never been a truly bad person. In fact, he could be considered a good person—good boss, good grandson, good adopted son, good half-brother... but he was not a good husband.Only I was left hurt in a world where everything seemed to fall into place.After finishing his meal, Frank acted casually but with clear signs of his upbringing. He took a napkin and said frankly, "It's a bit

    Then, Frank casually stood up, finished his soy milk in one gulp, and set the cup down. "In that case, Ms. Wilson, you must keep this retreat option open for me. If I can't make it, I'll come back to rely on you.""Uncle!"The little one, who was sipping milk from a bottle, looked at him with a hint of resentment, pouting. "Don't you have to go to work today?"Frank's tender expression faded, and he shot a sideways glance at the child. "Little brat, you're complaining already?"The child huffed lightly. "When you're here, Aunt is monopolized by you!"Frank was driven away by the child.After sending Frank into the elevator, the little one climbed onto me using hands and feet, and planted a kiss on my face. "Aunt, who do you like more, me or Uncle?"I chuckled. "Of course, it’s you."‘But I love your uncle,’ I added inwardly.As night fell, at the top-tier club in Jelaston.Located in a quiet area amidst the hustle and bustle, the club operated on a membership basis, with a si

    "Diana..." Ryan tugged at his thin lips, dragging out the name as if he were savoring the words.Diana dared not look directly at the man's pitch-black eyes, fearing she might give herself away. She only heard Ryan laugh coldly and ask sharply, "Who sent you?"Ryan could guess that someone who had had dealings with him and had ulterior motives was behind her.To cater to his preferences, naturally, there was no such thing as a free lunch.Diana was taken aback by how astutely the man saw through her. Her face turned pale as she took a deep breath and recited the lines she had prepared."No one sent me. I'm just here for a part-time job...""Miss West." Ryan, with his long legs crossed, took a drag from his cigarette, his chin lowered, with a cold and hard line to his jaw, his voice deep and menacing. "Since you're here, you must know who I am. I can find out anything that the person behind you can find out. Anything he can give you, I can give you. In other words, I'm known for m

    Felix believed his words were well-reasoned and justified, but the next second, he saw Ryan nod dismissively. "You have a point."Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Ryan's expression darkened as he extinguished the cigarette butt. "I'll break one of your legs for this, and then we'll consider it over."Felix suddenly clung to Ryan's leg, pleading desperately. "Mr. Frost, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have been so blinded. Please spare me..."The leg injury he had sustained last time in Jeswood had not fully healed, and now he was about to lose another leg!Realizing that pleading with Ryan was futile, he turned to Ian for help. "Ian, Ian! Help me, I'm begging you...""Serves you right."Ian didn't wait for Ryan to explode but ordered his subordinates to forcibly drag Felix away.Diana, pale-faced, felt the stark division of social classes in the world!Felix could easily manipulate her.But in front of Ryan, he was treated like a dog.With such a commotion, Ryan lost interest.

    Oliver originally had no intention of getting involved in their marital issues.Besides, judging by Jordan's state, this marriage was bound to end sooner or later.He just needed to wait.However, Jordan had clearly been unhappy for some time now.And today, seeing her so ill, he couldn't suppress his emotions any longer."As a husband, you've truly failed," he said.Not to mention that, over the years, Oliver had never heard Jordan speak about her husband.The moment he learned she was married, she was already preparing for a divorce.And it seemed urgent.That alone was proof of how deeply Westley had hurt her.Oliver continued, "Taking your anger out on me—what does that prove? It's just impotent rage."Westley wanted to refute him but had to admit that Oliver was right.Looking back at everything he'd done in the past, he felt like slapping himself.Still, no matter what happened between him and Jordan, an outsider had no right to interfere.But before he could say an

    After getting into the car, Jordan woke up but didn't want to go to the hospital.Oliver also thought about going to a hotel, but it wasn't as convenient as home.First, hotels were always crowded with people coming and going. Second, no matter how clean they were, they still couldn't compare to the comfort of home.So he took the liberty of taking Jordan back to his own house.Jordan didn't know where she was, she just felt the soft bed beneath her and immediately found a comfortable position to sleep.Oliver removed her shoes and covered her with a blanket.Then, he went to call a family doctor to come over.Meanwhile, Buck only made it as far as the entrance of the neighborhood but couldn't get in.Oliver's family had some influence and lived in an upscale community.The security was quite good.Buck had to pull some strings to get in, and then he squatted outside Oliver's house.In the meantime, he was also thinking about how to report the fact that Jordan had been carri

    Buck's unchanging poker face was stunned. "Wasn't it benign?""Well, someone has a death wish."That was true.Buck was about to say something when he heard Westley calling him. He quickly walked into the ward.He didn't need to listen, he knew it was something about Jordan."Go after her immediately. Keep a close watch on her and report back to me in real-time."Buck had been by Westley's side all these years.He thought he would be asked to arrange for someone trustworthy to keep an eye on her.But it turned out that it Westley was sending him."Sir, I can send Silas.""You go." Westley massaged his temples. "Silas still has his own matters to deal with.""Then what about Jax...""You go." Westley's eyes grew cold. "Do I need to repeat myself?""But what about you...""Do you think I’ll die in the Greyson family's hospital?"Well, that was not possible.The Greyson family's security was only slightly inferior to the Howard family's.But Buck had never left Westley's

    "Mr. Howard’s illness is quite serious this time, but it wasn’t because he caught a cold from bringing you to the hospital today. It’s because he’s already been in poor health recently. It’s just a coincidence that the cold worsened his condition. Considering the past relationship, please stay and keep him company. Your fever hasn't subsided, and it's a good opportunity to rest in the hospital for a few days."Jordan remained silent. At that moment, her phone rang.She thought it was the driver calling, but when she picked up, it was Oliver."Oliver.""Have you finished what you’re doing?" Oliver's gentle voice sounded on the other end of the line. "There's work here. Once you're done, come over. It’s fine if you’re not done yet. It's not an animal shoot. If you can't spare the time, I'll contact someone else."Jordan quickly replied, "I'll fly over right now.""Mrs. Howard, you're still running a fever." Buck spoke up, earning an angry glare from Jordan."Jordy, are you running

    Jordan's face turned red with anger, and she yelled, "You're sneaky and cunning. You’re just a scumbag!"Westley bent down to pick up the door handle and handed it to her."How did a perfectly fine door break in your hands? Instead of cursing, shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"Suddenly, Jordan wasn't angry anymore.In fact, she even laughed.Because she was truly speechless."Westley, you're making me feel that having feelings for you back then was the stupidest thing I’ve ever done. I was really stupid, actually feeling sad and upset for someone like you, who is full of lies and has a scheming heart. You don't deserve it. Westley, you... don't... deserve it."Westley hadn't expected this outcome.It had been a good opportunity, and he really wanted to sit down and have a proper conversation with her.But what happened last night was beyond his expectations.He hadn't predicted today's situation either."I didn't mean it like that... let me explain..."Jordan interrupted

    She wasn't used to calling someone for every little thing."It's fine, I just need a sip of water.""You have a 39-degree fever, so please rest more. If the fever doesn't go down, it could turn into pneumonia, like Mr. Howard."Cough cough...Jordan choked on the water. She vaguely remembered that outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Westley had walked toward her and seemed to have picked her up.But there were so many people around him. Could he really get soaked in the rain?How did she get this high fever?It couldn't be that she fainted, and just by him picking her up, he caught the illness, right?Westley met her confused gaze and began to explain, "You were soaked through. I carried you all the way to the hospital, and I got wet too."‘So?’"I was so focused on getting you treated, I forgot about myself. I thought I was fine, but it turns out I'm worse off than you."Jordan knew that Westley rarely fell ill.She had envied his constitution when they were kids. Unlike her

    Jane happily sent the couple into the elevator.She returned home and picked up the clothes that were scattered on the floor.As she was about to pick up a piece, a fine hand took it from her.She was helped to sit down on the sofa.Jane found it amusing. "Didn't my check-up results show no issues? It's just hanging clothes, it's not like I can't do it."She felt like she was disabled being taken care of like this by Zachary."And you, you've taken over the family business now, aren't you busy? Stop circling around me all day."Zachary hung the clothes on the hanger and placed them in the study first.Hearing her words, his lips pressed down slightly."Are you getting tired of me?"‘No wonder he’s good friends with Frank,’ thought Jane.Jane had just heard Charlotte complain that every time she did something, even if she was away for a short while, Frank would make it seem as if she was getting tired of him."Staring at the same person all the time, it's bound to happen."

    Due to Westley's special permission, their news was all over Nelana recently.Jordan was caught in the rain, Westley carried her to the hospital, and they even took a dramatic photo, which has been going viral all over the internet these past few days."With the beginning and end cut out, the clueless audience has been going crazy over this."Westley controlled the message he wanted to send out to the public.As for why Jordan was standing in the rain at the Civil Affairs Bureau, no one would know.To the public, they were the picture-perfect wealthy couple with a great relationship."My connections are getting better,"Dominic joked. "I found out it's nothing serious, just an acute cold from getting soaked in the rain. She's at the Greyson family's hospital, and even Carter, a big shot, was called to check on her. There’s definitely nothing to worry about."Jane let out a sigh of relief. "That's good, please keep an eye on her for me.""Don't worry. Just take care of yourself,"

    Westley looked at Jordan on the hospital bed, her lips pale, and didn't say anything.His gaze was deep, and it was unclear what he was thinking.Leanne, seeing his hair still dripping wet, went to grab a towel to help him dry it.Westley raised his hand to push her away.Leanne laughed. "So what, you're planning to stay here be sick with her?"Westley remained silent.Leanne was used to it.As the eldest son of the Howard family, bearing a heavy responsibility, he had matured earlier than other kids his age. His thoughts were so deep that they were impossible to fathom.When he was in a good mood, he would talk a little more.When he was in a bad mood, he couldn't even spare a glance."Westley, the one at fault here is you. Forgive me for speaking frankly, but the way you're handling this will only make Jordan more frustrated and push her even further away from you.
