Zachary's head ached intensely. Initially, he thought he would feel better after the IV drip, but now it felt like his blood pressure had risen due to anger. His vision blurred slightly. He wanted to say something, but Jane had already shaken off his hand. When he tried to grab her again, he missed his mark. Then, everything went dark, and he collapsed. Jane instinctively reached out to support him. This wasn't just because he was Zachary, she would have helped anyone who suddenly fainted in front of her. "Stop pretending. If you don't get up soon, I'm letting go. If you fall and hurt yourself, don't blame me," she said, preparing to release him, but when she saw that he really was about to fall, she gritted her teeth and held him up. But her strength was limited, so she called out to Michael. "Help me out here." Michael was reluctant but still took over holding Zachary from Jane, though he immediately thought about just dropping him. However, he couldn't ruin his
Jane replied instantly, "Goodnight".Michael leaned against the entrance, smiling like a three-year-old who just received candy. When Zachary woke up in the hospital, he still felt disoriented. Seeing the driver by the bedside, he frowned. "What are you doing here?" Why wasn’t it Jane? The driver poured him some water. "I was worried about you." Zachary was indeed very thirsty, and after drinking a bit, his mind began to function again. "You brought me to the hospital?" The driver nodded. Zachary frowned even more. "What did you see?" The driver answered honestly, "I saw you talking to Miss Greenwood, and then you suddenly fainted. She couldn't hold you up, but luckily her boyfriend was there to help. I hurried over and brought you to the hospital." Hearing the words "her boyfriend," Zachary's brows furrowed even more. "She said that herself?" "What?" The driver was momentarily confused. Zachary pressed. "Did you see them go home together?" The driver sho
But he really had no other choice. He went directly to find Jane, but she wouldn't listen to him. There had to be an opportunity to sit down and talk things through. He cleared his throat. "Do you have any suggestions?" "Just hurry up and get this illness of yours treated," Frank said as he stood up, adjusting his cuffs. "You still need to help with my wedding." Zachary opened his mouth to refuse but then realized something. "You're really something, always scheming." Frank shot him a sidelong glance and walked out. After several busy days, Jane finally found a suitable venue for a traditional wedding and spent a long time negotiating before finalizing it. "Jane, have something to drink." For these past few days, Michael had been by her side. His drama had finished filming, and he was waiting for news from other productions. Jane took the cup and noticed it was warm. "Where did you get this hot drink from?" "I sweet-talked the lady in the lobby a bit, and she
Frank finished his meeting and unlocked his phone, only to find a message from Zachary. However, another message caught his attention. Naturally, there was a priority, so he quickly exited the chat with Zachary and jumped into the other conversation. Mrs. Smith. "Frank, Jane helped us find a wedding venue!" He actually had his own plans for the wedding venue. But since Jane was so dedicated, his wife would surely appreciate it, so he decided to let them handle it. He replied to his wife. "In that case, when would it be convenient for Ms. Charlotte and me to visit the civil affairs bureau?" While waiting for a response, he casually acknowledged Zachary. "I'm getting married now. What about you? Are you going to show up while hanging on an IV?" Zachary replied instantly. "If you have the guts to get married now, I'll crawl over." ‘Is he crazy?’Frank ignored that message and opened the pinned chat with his wife. Mrs. Smith. "I'm available anytime, it just depends on
"Then shall we go in?""Okay."The process of obtaining the marriage certificate was not complicated.Frank did not make any arrangements in advance, we followed the staff's guidance and completed the paperwork.When I came out of the civil affairs bureau holding the marriage certificate, I felt a bit dazed.Frank wrapped his arms around me, lowered his head, and kissed my forehead.The smile at the corner of his lips was deeper than usual, clearly indicating his genuine happiness."Honey."His low and serious voice made my ears feel warm.I ignored the heat in my ears and touched my nose. "Such a happy occasion deserves a celebration. Let me treat you to dinner."Frank raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.I let out a slight sigh of relief.But I didn't expect that later that night, he pinned me down on the bed, forcing me to call out those two words."Hu... Hubby…"After getting the certificate, we moved on to planning the wedding.We mainly wanted to avoid furthe
She was beautiful enough to attract attention.I had thought that after Charlie was rejected by Jane, he wouldn't have any more thoughts about her.But at that moment, I saw his eyes shining, and his eager expression was impossible to hide.As for Zachary…He still had that usual calm demeanor, looking as if he was lost in thought."Charlotte."Hearing my name, I looked at Frank, who unexpectedly knelt on one knee to help me put on my wedding shoes. "Honey, let's go home."I placed my hand in Frank's palm, my brows and eyes curving up in a smile. "Okay."Once he received my affirmative reply, he lifted me in his arms and strode out.Upon returning to Region Gardens, he let Sparrow roll around on the wedding bed.My mom had cooked food for us, and unsurprisingly, the first bite was raw.I looked at my mom, and she winked at me. "Do you like it?"I smiled helplessly. "I can’t really say I don’t."My mom laughed. "Alright, let's move on."After finishing the wedding rituals
"Charlotte, happy wedding!"Michael raised his glass to me. Just as I lifted mine, I heard another voice calling my name.Before I could respond, a voice came from beside me. "Mrs. Smith, happy wedding!"It was Nina.Nina also knew Frank, so I wasn't surprised by her presence.Jane and Michael had been getting along well recently, so they weren't paying much attention to Zachary.At least they wouldn't cause trouble at our wedding.However, I still felt a bit worried when I caught a glimpse of Zachary's indifferent face.But since everyone was right in front of me, I raised my glass and politely responded, "Thank you."Nina took a sip of her drink and smiled at me. "Wait here, I'll help you rescue Frank. Don't let him delay your wedding night, especially since Zachary has just recovered. It can't go on like this.""Two birds with one stone," she said.I felt that her last four words were the key point.But I didn't say much, just replied, "Thank you and sorry for the troubl
Upon returning to Region Gardens, Frank led me toward the bed."It's still not dark outside!"I felt a bit shy and pushed him away with all my might.Frank held my hands down. "Today is our wedding. Everyone knows what that means..."I caught the evident desire in his eyes and couldn't help but glare at him.He continued, "Besides, Mom is in the children's room playing with the kids. No one will disturb us."I was no match for his strength and was completely under his control.I couldn't break free or stop him.Feeling embarrassed, I needed to think of a way to stall for time."Let's not discuss Jane and Zachary, but there is something we need to talk about."Frank's expression remained focused as he asked, "Mom and Jason?"I nodded.Initially, my mom had agreed, and I invited Jason to the wedding.However, upon hearing my arrangements, Jason politely declined. "We can't overshadow your wedding. Dancing and singing are fine, but your mom can take the stage to speak, I won'
"If I stopped him from coming in, the things he could do would be worse than what's happening now."Yvonne changed into a green, form-fitting long dress, adjusting her makeup and hair in front of the mirror."Then I wouldn't be able to do business at all."Georgina crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe. "I can tell you never really intended to stop him."Yvonne glanced at her, her eyes soft and seductive.Georgina reached out and pinched her. "If I were him, I'd want to sleep with you too.""Get lost." Yvonne pushed her hand away. "Then have Lucifer handle it for me. Anyway, I don't have the authority to stop Blake. He’s a member of the Hilton family, after all."Georgina straightened up and became serious. "Are you sure?"Yvonne didn't answer, adjusting the straps of her dress as she walked out of the bathroom.Georgina smiled. "I knew you weren't serious."She draped her arm around Yvonne's shoulder as they walked out together. "Let's have a good talk. His paren
Caleb truly couldn't interfere. In fact, he hadn't planned to get too involved in Blake's affairs.Occasionally, he could play the supporting role, and that was enough.He stepped aside to make way.Georgina immediately left.Whitney slowly blinked her eyes.Georgina was her idol, and she wanted to become someone like her.Someone who had confidence in everything she did, completely unafraid of offending anyone."Let's go." Millie patted Whitney's shoulder. "If someone didn't know any better, they'd think you had feelings for Georgina. Your husband's still around. If he gets jealous, he might just smash this place to the ground."Whitney did indeed like Georgina, but it wasn't that kind of like.It was admiration and respect.Just as she was about to say something, she met Caleb's cold gaze and changed her words."I'm just worried. Blake seems to be in a bad mood."Millie told her not to worry. "Everything has its match. It's just something between men and women.""And wit
The people at Yvonne's place were all professionally trained, and later, when Georgina married Lucifer, Lucifer had even placed several of his men here.Even though Lucifer and his eldest brother were practically inseparable, he still couldn't get any information from them."Mr. Caleb, it's been a while since I've seen you out having fun."He didn't plan to ask about the people he recognized either. After all, he didn't want anyone to know that his wife had left him to come here and have fun."Blake is here. I'm afraid he might do something stupid, so I came to check on him."Everyone who came to this place knew about the situation between Blake and Yvonne.The Hilton family was not one to be provoked, especially since Yvonne was very close to Lucifer's wife.Two major families—this wasn't something they could just casually comment on.In the past, there were some who tried to "save" Yvonne, but they never showed up again.Later, everyone figured that this might be a kind of g
"Mr. Blake, my relationship with you is merely that of an owner and a guest," she said. "You come, I entertain you, but you have no right to stick your nose into my business."She could wear whatever she wanted.Even if some people had ill intentions, that was their problem.What did her choice of clothes have to do with anything?Back when Caleb and the others came to play, in the summer, she wore even less, and no one had acted inappropriately.Anyone who wanted to act out inappropriately couldn't even step foot through this door anymore.Blake didn't know what she was thinking, but just looking at her attire, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.Silently, he put the coat back over her shoulders, and said gruffly, "It's cold."Caleb found the situation amusing but remained concerned about Whitney, so he didn't smile.At least he knew that with Mrs. Scholfield around, they wouldn't dare make a scene.Otherwise, Lucifer would turn this place into ruins.The tall building
“Georgina.” Whitney took the initiative to walk over and greet her. "Haven’t seen you in ages."Georgina smiled. "Everything's ready. Let's change first. We can talk while soaking in the hot springs."Millie led Whitney to the changing rooms.Yvonne mentioned that she had important guests today and would join them later.Georgina nodded.Caleb and Blake bumped into each other at the entrance.Blake had feelings for his family, but perhaps because he lost his parents at a young age, his personality had grown colder over the years.It wasn't that he didn't care, it was just that he couldn't be like Caleb, always smiling, with a more lively temperament."Caleb.""Blake."Caleb didn't waste time with pleasantries. There was no need between relatives.He walked briskly inside.Blake followed and asked what had happened.Caleb asked the receptionist where Millie's room was.The receptionist smiled professionally. "Mr. Caleb, I'm sorry, although you hold immense power, I still c
Whitney nodded.By the time they arrived, it was already dark.But the entrance of the hot spring resort was bustling with activity.People were coming and going, and the car park at the front was filled with luxury cars.Standing at the entrance was a woman in a purple gown, her figure stunning.In such cold weather, she was only wearing a form-fitting silk dress, and although she had a mink shawl draped over her shoulders, it had started snowing mixed with rain by now.Whitney felt a chill just looking at her.Then, glancing at herself, she realized she looked round and bundled up due to her thin frame, trying to stay warm.Compared to the woman in front of her, she didn't feel the least bit feminine."Yvonne!"Millie tugged Whitney over. "I brought my sister-in-law!"Yvonne excused herself from her guests, letting someone show them in, and then turned to face Millie and Whitney.The moment Whitney met her gaze, she felt a softening in her bones.It was a natural, effort
Caleb's temples throbbed.He regretted some of the things he had done to Millie when they were younger.Whitney was a bit worried, but Millie reassured her to not worry at all.In reality, Caleb was fine.If it weren't for Whitney, she would have exposed his little scheme by now."Gilbert will be here soon.""Also, the doctor said to observe him overnight, but he'll be fine. He can be discharged tomorrow. He's not missing any limbs. Whitney, it's okay to care about your husband, but don't spoil him too much. It'll bring bad luck."Whitney had never heard anything like this before.Millie always said things that were beyond her understanding.Maybe that's the difference between being spoiled growing up and struggling just to survive."Okay."She liked Millie, just as she liked Jane and the others—they were all great girls.Millie pinched her cheek. "That's more like it."Gilbert finished work at his usual time.When he arrived at the hospital, he thought for a moment and c
"You're still trying to make me gain weight." Millie was very kind to Whitney, always speaking in her favor, so she had to support her as well. "I always thought you liked a bit of meat on someone."Caleb wanted her to eat more, gain a bit of weight, and stay healthy.This was a setup, and he wasn't sure how to respond."Only giving me vegetables?"Whitney hadn't planned on cooking meat at all, but since Millie mentioned wanting some, she made cooked some meat."You can't eat anything greasy right now, but I've made some chicken. You can have some chicken."Caleb smirked. "I'll do as you say."Millie couldn't stand it anymore and clicked her tongue a few times.But Caleb didn't give her a chance to speak. "Can't the roast pork shut you up?"Millie was so angry that she gritted her teeth. After finishing her meal, she saw Whitney still feeding Caleb.Unable to stop herself, she said, "Caleb, you've got alcohol poisoning, not a broken arm. Whitney, you should eat. The dishes ar
Whitney felt that Millie probably had some longstanding grudge with Caleb from when they were kids.Therefore, she treated Millie with respect as well.That was why she said those words.What was so great about her?Being able to cook wasn't anything extraordinary.The Hilton family's status in Yelar was such that, had it not been for her good luck in becoming Zachary's sister and getting such an opportunity, she would have likely died in some unknown gutter.As for the various daughters of affluent families surrounding Caleb—beautiful, gentle, intellectual, and so on—the list was endless.Compared to her, they were a thousand times better.And yet, she still thought that Caleb marrying her was a loss.It wasn't as exaggerated as Millie had said."Millie, please don't say that. Caleb can cook for me, too. It's nothing special."Millie was shocked.Could Caleb even cook?But when she saw Whitney's expression, she realized that the times Caleb had cooked for her when they we
