Chapter 1184

Author: Lean
Westley had said that he was no longer the head of the Howard family and had resigned.

But after all these years, he had built considerable power.

No one dared to provoke him in the open, let alone in the shadows.

"I just think that Leanne is still young and inexperienced, so I was just giving her a little reminder."

Westley didn’t even spare Matthew a glance and gestured for Leanne to go inside.

When Leanne reached his study, she slammed her hands forcefully onto the desk with a loud bang.

"Were you just waiting to see me flustered and scolded for a while before finally agreeing to see me?"

Westley simply said, "You don’t need to worry about what’s been happening lately."

Leanne immediately understood. "Is the Jackson family in Impelia putting pressure on you?"

Westley remained calm. "My brother-in-law just found me something to do, that’s all. You should focus entirely on dealing with the major families in Nelana. Now that the Howard family is in your hands, you should make

  • Ex-husband’s Regret   Chapter 1822

    “Let’s go to the hospital, Brody.” Gemma pulled Brody into Anthony’s car, anxiously saying, “Hurry up, Dad!”Anthony was rendered speechless.He only had some scratches on his hand.Was it really necessary to make such a fuss?Blake had also come in a car. He said thanks to Anthony, then got into his own car.The group met up at the branch of the Greyson family’s hospital.“Does it hurt, Brody? I’ll blow on it for you...”Anthony couldn’t stand it anymore and took Gemma out of the treatment room, while shooting a sidelong glance at Blake.Blake was rendered speechless.He looked at the wound on Brody's hand, thinking that the kid probably wouldn’t get hurt if he hadn’t got into a fight with someone.“You used the martial art skills I taught you in fights? What really happened?”At the police station, Brody hadn’t spoken the whole time.When Blake arrived and the officers found out Brody was his son, they didn’t ask any more questions.But Blake still had to find out the tr

    Gemma had just eaten popcorn, but she was still able to eat a lot of pizza.Brody looked at her slender figure and wondered where all the food went.“You should still eat less junk food.”Gemma blinked her big eyes. “Brody, do you think I’m too skinny?”Brody shook his head. “No, I just want you to be healthy.”Gemma smiled, showing her even white teeth. “You’re the best, Brody.”“Clay.” Brody's classmate, who was very familiar with him, came over. “Out eating with your sister?”Brody didn’t have many friends because he was used to being alone.Besides, he didn’t feel the need to make friends, since the Hilton family never hid his identity.But many people wanted to be friends with him.The person that was talking was one of the people who wanted to be friends Brody.He wanted to get on Brody's good side in case he needed a favor from Blake.Brody didn’t like the guy.He dodged the guy’s arm and replied coldly, “What’s that got to do with you?”The boy laughed and sat dow

    But Anthony was truly becoming too annoying.He even went to Blake’s workplace.Accusing him of being a public servant while indulging his son in criminal behavior.It was really a case of blaming someone for something that hadn’t even happened.But Brody could understand why Anthony was doing such a thing.If he had a daughter, he would be just as cautious.After all, there was a significant age gap between them, and Brody was already a university student.It was normal for Anthony to be worried.“That doesn’t mean you can bring her home.”One was a teenager, the other underage.With no adults present, it really did look like a crime scene.“When she becomes my wife, she’ll be home every day.”Brody nodded. “I oversimplified things today. Even though I can promise to behave, I still need to consider Uncle Anthony’s perspective.”Blake felt quite pleased.Despite the years Brody had spent locked away by Tristan, he hadn’t grown twisted.When he had just been brought back

    But beautiful dreams were fragile.“Gemma, your father was just worried about you. Stop sulking. If you and he are truly meant to be together, then being a day or two apart won’t make a difference. And if you want to break free from your dad and me, then you need to be capable on your own. The way to become successful is to study hard. After you turn 18, we’ll no longer be your guardians. Your love life will be something you’ll have to fight for and maintain yourself.”Gemma had always relied on Tanner.When she was three or four years old, Anthony had just appeared in her life.It was also obvious that there was conflict between Tanner and Anthony.Tanner didn’t let Gemma get too close to Anthony, so she would listen to her mother more.But Anthony hadn’t really done anything wrong—he was just concerned about her.“I understand, Mom.”“Tell your dad not to be so protective. Just tell him I said so.”Gemma’s phone was on loudspeaker, and the car was quiet—it was just the two o

    Janine thought the same and changed the subject. “If your daughter pursued a guy like this in the future, what would you do?”Zain said, “I’d break his legs.”Janine laughed. “Would you really?”Zain snorted. “Why wouldn’t I? If some punk dares to make my daughter leave me, I definitely won’t let him off so easily.”Janine then realized whose legs he was talking about.She was both amused and exasperated as she tried to get out of his arms.But the man didn’t let go.Janine pressed down on his hand. “We’re at work. Behave yourself.”Zain looked a bit embarrassed.Everyone at the company knew what the couple were up to—pretending otherwise was pointless.But he didn’t dare argue.He straightened her clothes and finally let go.Brody went to the University of Yelar, and next to his campus was a middle school where Gemma went to school.The coursework during seventh grade wasn’t too intense yet, so Gemma would go to the University of Yelar to find Brody after school.At the

    In the blink of an eye, Gemma was about to start middle school.Anthony personally came to drop her off and looked at Blake with deep resentment.Blake felt quite helpless as well. “It’s not something I can stop. The kids liked each other, and as parents, all we could do was compromise. Besides, my son is pretty handsome.”Anthony happened to be expanding a branch in Yelar, so he stayed there to keep an eye on his daughter.He still had Tanner and Carter back in Nelana.Occasionally, Tanner would fly over to check on the child and also take pulses for Whitney and the other members of the Hall family.She would also stop by Hesterfield to see Janine.Janine had recovered quite well. She asked Tanner about non-medicated and non-condom methods of contraception.Tanner gave her an injection. “It’ll last five years. Remember to come find me in the fourth year for a follow-up. But honestly, it’s already quite hard for you to get pregnant—your uterus is pretty badly damaged.”Janine
