Chapter 736

Auteur: Lean
Zachary was at a loss for words.

What were they like now?

A coquettish woman was trying to move the coldest of hearts.

Zachary had no choice. He tried his best to make himself prepared.

He tried to crack a smile, looking like a fool.

“Ha... ha...”

Jane scoffed, “Your smile is as dry as your apology.”

Zachary did his best. He sighed, “Is there any other request that I can fulfill?”

“What counts as something you can fulfill? Isn’t that your comfort zone?”

Jane began to squirm, wanting to break free from his restraints.

“Only when you find a way to fulfill the impossible does it count as sincerity. Mr. Collins, please let go of me.”

Zachary lowered his head, resting it on her neck with a long sigh.

“I’ve lost.”

After saying that, he raised his head and attempted to smile.

His mind wandered to Charlie's foolish expression.

But in the end, he was nothing more than a shell of himself.

His face barely moved. There was no trace of a smile.

Not even a glimmer of joy in those da

    “Because I, of all people, hate bitches the most.”She saw Nina struggling to contain her emotions and twitching her lips. She cupped Zachary's face and told him, “Remember that.”Zachary nodded. “Got it.”Nina turned to leave.At that moment, her face twisted with anger. ‘That wretched woman has to die.’Jane glanced at Nina's stumbling steps and said to Zachary, “I made your childhood friend run away. Aren't you going to comfort her?”“I won’t.”Zachary swiped the access card to enter, placing Jane on the bed but not getting up immediately.He lowered his body slightly, his voice low and melodious. “I only comfort you.”Jane stretched her legs, resting her feet on his thigh, gently rubbing against him with a smile. “Mr. Collins seems to have woken up to his desires.”Zachary held her ankle, but Jane preemptively pulled back and turned to wrap herself tightly in the blanket.“I’m tired. I’m going to sleep.”Zachary patted her through the blanket, his voice carrying a hint

    “Zachary, I’m doing this for you. I see that Miss Greenwood has hostility toward me and wants to leave, so I won’t be a bother to you. Even though I’m leaving, I won’t go back to the Collins family. I won’t let my godmother know about this. I’m planning to go abroad and never return. If you care about our past, just find a way to send my grandfather’s ashes to me overseas. This way, I won’t be alone abroad, and I can still burn paper for my grandfather every year.”Zachary’s brows tightened more and more, he could almost crush a fly with them.After a few seconds of silence, he said, “Jane doesn’t have hostility toward you, and no one said you were a bother. You don’t need to overthink it.”“Let’s forget about going abroad. I’ll have someone send you back to Jeswood. Can you come down now?”Nina shook her head. “Zachary, you should take me abroad. With this incident, I’ll always be a thorn between you and Miss Greenwood. If I stay, every time you see me, you’ll be reminded of what

    When Jane groggily woke up, she felt as if she were still swaying.Thinking it was Zachary still at it, she tried to push and kick him, but ended up missing.She opened her eyes and realized she was in the cabin, alone in bed.Seeing a white shirt draped over the sofa, she put it on and opened the door to step outside.There was hardly anyone in the hallway.She went on the deck and it was also empty.Leaning against the railing, she enjoyed the breeze and the scenery, suddenly noticing that the cruise ship had stopped, with splashes of water rising.She curved her lips, intentionally walking to one side, and the splashes followed her movement.She walked all the way to the soft ladder.A person emerged from the splashes, climbing up the ladder.Jane leaned against the railing, watching.Her gaze started at his handsome face, following the sparkling droplets of water as they slid down.They landed on his well-defined muscles.Zachary pushed his wet hair back, bent down clo

    Yasmin frowned. "You swam in the sea?"Zachary nodded.Yasmin panicked. "Were there sea snakes or something in the water that bit her?"Jane could swim and was quite good at it. She had heard Charlotte mention it before.The only thing she could think of was that an accident had occurred.Zachary shook his head.There was no way that would happen in that area, he had checked everything before letting Jane swim. If there was any danger, he wouldn’t have allowed her to go.Seeing him distressed, Yasmin decided not to press further.They just had to wait for the doctor's examination results."Zachary.""How is it?"The female doctor replied, "It seems her leg got tangled in some seaweed, which led to her drowning, but Miss Greenwood likely went into shock due to an allergy to something.""Allergy to what?" asked Zachary.The doctor said, "We can’t be sure. There are many factors in the sea. It could even be an allergy to the seaweed.""Has Jane swum in the sea before?"Zach

    The female doctor hung the IV for Jane and said to Zachary, "Mr. Collins, I need to draw blood for a blood test."Zachary nodded. "Get the results quickly."After drawing the blood, the female doctor replied, "I’ll do it as soon as possible."Roy followed the female doctor out.Zachary looked at Yasmin. "You and Jason go handle your matters. I'll stay here and keep an eye on things."Yasmin did not want to disturb the couple. "If you need anything, just call us."Zachary saw them out and assured, "I can handle it.""Alright then."Zachary closed the door and returned to the living room, asking his subordinates, "Where is Nina?"Ross replied, "Rick and the others took her back. They arrived in Jeswood long ago and have been keeping watch."Something flashed in Zachary’s eyes. Could it really be an accident?"Confirm if it is indeed Nina herself."Ross immediately called Rick.Zachary fetched some water, wrung a towel, and wiped Jane's face.Then he sat by the bed, staring

    But after all, she was recognized as a goddaughter by his mother and had grown up in the Collins family. She could be considered part of the family. In this situation, he felt reluctant to investigate her affairs. He only thought about how to make it up to her. Yet he didn’t want to put Jane in danger. Frank noticed Zachary's unpleasant expression and continued, "But there's no direct evidence to prove anything. If she doesn't tell the truth, reporting it won't help.""But you should have a way to make her speak.""What, should we go back and check it out?" Zachary threw the tablet he was holding aside and pulled out a cigarette, though he didn’t light it. After a moment of silence, he said, "Once Jane is fine, I'll take her back with me." "By then, I’ll handle all those messy matters, and then I'll take her out to enjoy herself properly." "Perfect timing." Frank snapped his fingers. Zachary looked surprised. "What do you mean?"Frank replied, "We need to go back

    "What did you bump into?" Zachary and Charlotte asked almost simultaneously. Jane couldn't remember the details clearly. She tried to recall. "When I was trying to break free from the seaweed, I think I saw a hand in the pile of seaweed, and my calf touched something cold and soft. I had already held my breath to the point of seeing stars, so I couldn’t see clearly what it was. I thought it was just a fish swimming by. As for that hand, I can't be sure if I was seeing things. As for the allergy, I really don’t have a history of allergies. Did the doctor say I was allergic?" Zachary replied, "It’s still uncertain, we’re waiting for the test results." Jane nodded and looked at Charlotte. "Charlotte, I know you care about me, but I have Zachary here. You should enjoy your honeymoon with Frank and not let me hold you back." Charlotte shook her head. "Let’s go back to Jeswood. We’re all worried about you. It’s better to let Dr. Travis or Prof. Kilburn take a look." Jane tried to s

    Roy said, "His son once went abroad to avoid trouble and encountered Nina, but there hasn’t been any close contact. We can’t definitively say that Miss Greenwood’s drowning was plotted by them." But Zachary had a gut feeling that things weren’t that simple. He felt guilty toward Nina, but if she intended to harm Jane, he wouldn’t let it slide easily. "You go and investigate further," he ordered. Roy nodded and left to carry out the task. The car arranged by Frank was already waiting. Jane and Charlotte shared one car, while Yasmin, with the child and Jason, took another. Frank didn’t rush to cuddle with his wife, instead, he sat alone in the car, waiting for Zachary for quite a while. So, when Zachary finally got in, Frank made it uncomfortable for him right away. "Two girls, Zachary, how do you plan to choose?" At this point, Zachary had indeed lost to Frank. This guy had liked Charlotte since childhood and still did. The two girls were the same person.

    Whitney deeply regretted it when Caleb pinned her down in the hot spring pool.She should have just driven the car back slowly. Once they were in the city, she could switch drivers.She could have said she was nervous driving, that she was too tired, and surely she would have been able to avoid all of this.Instead, she had chosen to stay here and do something so embarrassing."This is an outdoor hot spring..."The boldest thing Whitney had ever done was when a man with some power had used his position to take advantage of her.At that time, she had been truly frustrated.She had worked so hard, with blood on her hands, just to survive and live a stable life.Yet, there was always someone trying to make her life difficult.In a fit of anger, she had used a brow-shaping knife to hurt that man.If it weren't for meeting Zachary, she would definitely be worse off than a street rat by now.But Caleb could always break her understanding of things and perform such bold actions."

    "Georgina should know him better than I do, since you've known him longer than I have."Georgina nodded. "That's true, which is why I asked you if he's always bullying you. I just know how annoying his personality can be."Millie agreed, "Exactly.""Whitney, I've told you from the moment I met you—if you're being bullied, you have to tell me."But Whitney had never told her anything!She had thought that Caleb loved her so much that he wouldn't do anything to bully Whitney.But today, she realized that wasn't the case."You really have to listen to Georgina."Whitney nodded repeatedly but still said, "He hasn't bullied me, you guys don't need to worry."Some things, even though she admired and liked the Georgina, she couldn't say.If Caleb got angry, she would be the one to suffer. And perhaps it would also affect the Collins family.Since there was nothing wrong between them as a couple, outsiders wouldn't say much.Georgina's earlier remarks were also a subtle probe.It

    Millie laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She pointed at Caleb with a chicken leg. "Look at you now."She hugged Whitney, unable to contain her excitement. "You really stood up for me, Whitney."Whitney slowly processed what had just happened and turned to look at Caleb.Caleb, arms crossed, leaned back in his chair with a displeased expression on his face.Whitney nervously bit her lip. "I'm sorry..."Caleb's displeasure deepened. "Why are you apologizing?"Whitney looked at him sincerely. "I shouldn't have joined in teasing you. You're my husband, I should have spoken up for you."Caleb's anger suddenly dissipated.He patted Whitney on the head. "Alright, you've made progress. I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again."Whitney nodded. "Thank you."The three girls across from them were all taken aback.The one laughing the hardest, Millie, was now staring wide-eyed.She had never seen anyone pursue someone like this.Caleb was unbelievable.Blake, ho

    Whitney glanced at the steak and said she wasn't going to eat anymore, she was full.But her gaze remained fixed on Georgina.Caleb was rendered speechless.Georgina noticed this and rested her chin in her hand, looking at Whitney with a smile. "Whit likes me, doesn't she?"Up until now, only Jane and the others had called her Whit.But hearing it from her idol felt completely different.Whitney immediately felt a surge of nervousness. The flush from the hot spring had barely faded, but now it quickly came rushing back.She stammered, unable to speak for a long while.Georgina's smile deepened. "What's so embarrassing? I like Whit too.""That’s enough." Caleb tightened his grip on his knife and fork, afraid he might accidentally fling them."Lucifer's getting old, and he's not satisfying you anymore, is he?"What was she doing, flirting with his wife?Georgina removed her hand from her chin and gave Caleb a big thumbs up."I wouldn't dare to say that word, but you're reall

    "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.
